I was reading on the Shroomery last night about the screen saver thing called electric sheep, so I promptly downloaded it and I am proud to say that it is now my current screen saver. But that has nothing to do with this post. Today I was looking for the electric sheep hierarchy, the thing that shows you what the sheep has changed from and what not, and I found a site called Electric Sheep.
So I got to looking around the site and its just a collection of e-comics that happen to be pretty good. Theres an unfinished one about the revelation told in a Pokemon-esk way, and theres the one I'm reading currently.
It is, of course, called The Spiders, and its about some Taliban solder captured by a rouge ban of refugee militant women and their children. I'm not finished reading it but its really good. I recommend it to anyone who....well anyone, it's that interesting. There is another comic on the site I havent started reading yet, but I'm sure it's just as good as the others.

Just to make you guys more interested in this the story is in the future where the military coats an "active" area is small spider robots of different capabilities. Some can speak some detect and warn near by people of mines in multiple languages, and all of them have small web cams built in for civilians to view and search an "active" area from the comfort of their arm chair. The most interesting thing you guys might like to read about is the new chemical weaponry they use to make their enemies lose the will to fight; a inhalable form of MDMA.

I'm reading it now and I'd like to say, thank you so much for sharing.
Let me advisee everyone who reads this text, READ THIS! I will also say, if you don't think the comic was good, give me a 1 mushroom rating! This comic is badass. I think I'll finish it in one go!

Yeah, the story is really involved and the artwork/construction is amazing. It kind of ends abruptly but that may be because its unfinished, I'm not sure.
