ICE is done by Faith Erin Hicks. In her words “It’s a dark story of life in a future England, where temperatures never rise above zero and the monarchy is up to no good“. ICE had been on Modern Tales and saddly I kept missing the updates, but that’s all taken care of, Faith has made her archives available for everyone. I previously haven’t kept up with it and I’m not going to blame modern tales or similar sites about their methods. I think they have a good idea. Hell I think they have a great idea where you subscribe to get the archives. I think they need to go further with it and bind up the archives and sell them once a year. I also think they may have been a little ahead of their time. I think that model can work now with as popular as iTunes and similar rss feeds are now. Sorry I got side tracked. ICE is really well written and the story is packed FULL of every thing that makes a good drama. It’s got love, and new addictions, It has bad guys with moral quirks. I like to think of it as having flavor. More then that ICE is consistant the art is great with a prisma color marker look (remind me to ask her how she colors) and the story full and could stand on its own.
What I’m saying is go check out ICE and read through the archives. When your done go back and read Demonology 101 (Also by Faith) and check out the rest of her site.
