These are such thoughtful recs, I was delighted to read your summaries of each of these canons.
Re: Gargoyles, I am very intrigued by this cast of characters - especially as an artist, because the character designs seem very fun to draw. :D I love the sounds of this! It seems like it hits on a lot of things I enjoyed about the Timmverse DC shows (and you're right, it's very visually reminiscent of the Batman animated series, heck yes!) - it's making me think about the Justice League show in particular because... ensemble cast in which more characters keep cropping up, but also there are actual story arcs, and character development! (...JL is also one of those shows with limited f/f shipping potential, but I make it work anyway. They don't even have to meet for me to ship them! They need only exist! xD)
I appreciate the heads-up about the noncon experimentation! That should be fine, especially going into it with foreknowledge.
Re: Narbonic, I'm very excited to get a comic rec! I'm actually an aspiring comic artist myself, but I've read shamefully few comics other than uh... Archie, Calvin & Hobbes, a few DC titles, and bits of pieces of other things (I do love me some Hark! A Vagrant).
You wouldn't want an actual Helen Narbon in your living room, because the eventual cleanup would be epic. But reading Helen's adventures is one of the most reliable smile-generators I know of on the 'Net.
I applaud your sales pitch! You've certainly convinced me to give it a try. The best thing about comics in this format is that it's easy to only bite off small chunks at once, which certainly makes it easier to dive right into. I'm loving the note about deliberate foreshadowing, too - that spine-tingling feeling when canon calls back to something you hadn't even realized would be important... :'D
Thank you so much for suggesting these! I look forward to investigating them further!
