Read El Goonish Shive teenage coming of age, physics, science, bizarre, romance, webcomic
El Goonish Shive created entirely by Dan Shive is often categorized as bizarre with science-fantasy. These story qualities are realized especially when the teenage cast is known to break the laws of physics.
El Goonish Shive has tolerance-related issues that seem to make it an LGBTQ-friendly read, including sexual orientations such as homosexuality and bisexuality, non-traditional gender roles, and lifestyle choices. As the cast is primarily made up of teenagers, they do obsess over relationships as teenagers do, but take time away from that to immerse themselves into dealings with magic, alien technology, parallel dimensions, "superscience," and immortal beings plotting drastic changes to the world.
El Goonish Shive has its own wiki, Shiveapedia, which contains the definitive timeline of the comic, plus full arc summaries and character bios. The comic is broken down into a number of storylines, which are usually part of a long, continuous plot. Most storylines are short and follow only a few characters, but some are multi-part arcs in which the whole lead cast is involved. As a bonus to El Goonish Shive Fans, the Twitter feed is included below.
