Earthsong stars Willow, a mysterious purple-skinned young woman who wakes up on the planet Earthsong with no recollection of who she is or where she came from. Soon, she finds herself in the middle of the war between Haven’s guard, fighters Earthsong’s sentient spirit and the Mandragoras, fighters for Beluosus, the spirit of another planet. Most of the characters are based on mythological races such as elves, harpies and vampires and they all come from different planets. The comic’s strength is the richness of the setting and interesting but easy-to-follow plot, though the characters come across as being slightly flat. Nonetheless, Earthsong is a good read when you want to be entertained.
The art is very well-drawn, somewhat in the anime style, and each page is in full, rich color. The comic is being redrawn from the original, so the artist has already gained much experience and settled on her style before the current version of the comics began. Unlike Drowtales, however, all of the old versions of the chapters have been taken down, so navigation is not difficult.
The website itself is fairly straightforward, with links at the top for archives, character profiles, information about the story and the author, and more. The font chosen for some of the section titles is a little hard to read, but appropriate for the comic and the characters.
The comic is updated not updated on a regular schedule. It is aimed at girls. There is very little offensive in this comic besides some light swearing and some blood.
