Official description:
Demon Street is a comic about exploring.
Three months ago, a thousand doors to another world opened at once, then slammed shut again. Since then one door remains open, hidden down the closed-off sidewalk of an abandoned street behind a mountain of broken things. The only person who wants to know what's behind that mountian is a boy named Sep, and he is setting off into the unknown.
Three months ago, a girl named Raina came home to find her street, her house, her family and friends gone. She went after them.
Demon street is about the other kids who came through too, and the denizens and creatures they found there. It's about quests and monsters and magic and choices.

This was really one of those books that I just could not put down. The story has great pacing and engaging characters. It felt less like I was reading a comic series and more like I was watching a fantasy television series. The art carries a lot of the atmosphere and tone of the work.
I liked this so much that I read the full run of the comic available right now (about 300 additional pages/comics).
Unlike so many other weekly strips, this one feels much more cohesive. It does not read like a comic that comes out every week --look at similar weekly strips like WebToons or Questionable Content, which definitely feel split or fractured over time. While there is some character shifting and movement in the story between perspectives, the writer never loses the plot and stays focused on the core of the story. There is a solid thread that ties everything together and the side steps don't feel like they are from left-field.

I love the worldbuilding in this; it's a lot of fun to read, but I wonder what's going on with people back home.
