Alpha Shade is a webcomic by Joseph and Christopher Brudlos. Set both on Earth and the titular parallel world, it begins in the middle of a land-grab war waged using roughly World War I-level technology, but with added Intellectual Animals and flying battleships, between two Empires (the Great Northern Empire and the Great Southern Empire), then jumps back in time to the build-up to the war.The main character, Laura Stone, appears to be a normal college student on Earth, but by the period covered by the first chapter has become the leader of a small country in the Alpha Shade world and a respected military leader. How she made this transition is yet to be revealed. 'Main character' is a slight misnomer here, as the authors by their own admission write every character as if they consider themselves a protagonist, and spend a great deal of time fleshing out (and occasionally killing) other characters. These include:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) Nicole, Laura's adoptive sister on Earth, Nick and Justin, their best friends, Molly, their roommate, and Todd, Nicole's boyfriend. Several groups of soldiers in Laura's army in Chapter 1. Lord Hechinger, a noble of the Great Northern Empire leading an expedition to Earth to recover something called the Thrall Stone, and his subordinates. Lord Rastislav, Hechinger's opposite number from the Great Southern Empire, and his subordinates. The three daughters of House Shapira of the Great Northern Empire, all of whom are riders of the giant war-birds known as Flyers. The sentient, psychic cats and panthers that manipulate the Alpha Shade world's politics.Alpha Shade has been noted for its stunning computer-drawn art, intriguing multi-threaded story and interesting characters, and is well worth a look. The first two chapters have been released in print and are available from the website's store.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Unfortunately it suffered a dire case of Schedule Slip. Originally updating bi-weekly the wheels started to come off in 2008, and there hadn't been an update to the comic proper since 2010. The accompanying 'Alpha Rant' podcast has been lost to time, the forum is gone . . . although the Facebook page remained active, and the artist (Joseph) was apparently still eager to keep things going and was tinkering away with art and side-stories. It seemed that Christopher, the other half of the creating team, had wandered off making this an Orphaned Series. Updates briefly resumed in 2016 but halted again in the same year as both brothers apparently have moved on to other projects. | |

All There in the Manual: The print books, the guide sections on the website and comments by the creators give a lot of background information and detail on the setting and some of the characters. | |
