What the Witch Saw

by Thomas Heitler

Not bad! Not something I feel like I need to hang on to, though.

This is a wordless short comic, a mix of sci fi and fantasy---a team is sent to terraform the moon, using witchcraft. I think I would have liked it more if there was more than one witch. The main character is the only one who actually does any of the terraforming, and everyone else is just her support team. Main character's eventual girlfriend contributes scientific support and magical blueprints, which makes things a little more equal, but the story isn't long enough for any of the other astronauts to justify their presence.

The art is nice; the inspirations are Celtic knotwork and Tintin.
