Among the Chosen (ATC) is a planned seven book graphic novel cycle written, modeled, rendered, penciled, inked, shaded and lettered by Daniel H. ATC is — superficially — the story of the seven magicians who, at some point in the distant past, all but destroyed the human race. At least that is what the about page indicates. So far the story has detailed a small skirmish in the larger cold war between the Mega-Corp Heirotus and its paramilitary nemesis, the Templar. That's ATC "proper" — the color pages, The Dualist and Transitional Voices. Dead City Radio, the black and white bits, seem to be about a disaffected, sometimes delusional, college student attending an unnamed art school in 1997.Updates are more irregular than anything this side of Dresden Codak. Of course, this is because the author never tried to keep a schedule until May of 2013, and has acknowledged that the effort required for the creation of CG assets means that the odds of a regular update schedule are unlikely at best. When he does update, he may post one to several dozen pages. In addition, the author has a habit of going back and revising his work. The Dualist, for instance, has been through two major revisions. The authors reasons for this are many and varied - and fairly well documented.The comic is very cryptic, often assuming the Viewers Are Geniuses because it's all in the liner notes. The military jargon, complex backstory and work in progress nature of the piece make understanding ATC akin to assembling a puzzle, but that's half the fun. The art work is very polished and the integration of 2D and 3D assets is well done.If you want to get into ATC you'll probably want to read the short prequel Observer Effect, it's followed by Dead City Radio set in 1997, followed by The Dualist set in 2002, and Transitional Voices. Info on the cast and a glossary are available as well.Oh and much of this may be NSFW due to occasional nudity and foul language. | |

Little Bit Beastly | |
| Among the Chosen (Webcomic) / int_1ad6e2da | comment |
Little Bit Beastly: Some of the characters are human/bovine or human/goat hybrids. The author handwaves this as "metahumanity" and has at times argued that if characters such as Grij and Shannon are "furries," then Spock is a rabbit and Worf is a lobster. | |

Super-Deformed: Used when characters are under the influence or very startled, mainly in the first half of The Dualist. Use of this technique has been phased out due to persistent (and well-reasoned) criticism from the author's (at the time) roommates. | |

Neglectful Precursors | |
| Among the Chosen (Webcomic) / int_e8dda3a2 | comment |
Except it's really not so insignificant, as it's the origin point of the human species. Metahumanity in the larger universe is the distant cousin of Earth-humanity, after having been sucked off-planet some thirty thousand years ago by Neglectful Precursors and dumped on a variety of planets. They may have genetic engineering and FTL travel, but they're known as the "Human Diaspora" for a reason. This is probably incredibly interesting and important news, but it's being kept under wraps from both Earth-humanity and metahumanity - by whom, and for what reasons, is currently unknown. | |
