A horrifying story of a teenage couple who live in a small village that is being overrun by spirals everywhere they turn!

New York City. A veritable melting pot of people, living record of historical events, and... a coven of underground subway witches? Run by different gangs of birds?! The Ravenblack Court is an original Webtoon canvas series created in English by ⁠Adorabirb⁠, comics artist and journalist, and friend of the show! With the manhwa/Webtoon industry growing, more and more original series created in English are being published by these platforms.

Want to learn more about how the process works? Dive into this series with us as we discuss historically significant events, how a creator can draw inspiration for their work, and gleam insight on the Webtoon/digital comics industry with someone who has lived it!

Plus, we have industry news, more recent reading recs, and a teaser at the end of the episode!

Here are Adorabirb's recs:

What's more dangerous than a psychopathic narcissist prince with a god-complex? How about a a bodyswapping villainess and saintess duo with heavy yuri undertones? What if we mix in some Greek mythos as well? ⁠Your Throne⁠ is one of the darkest, politically rife series we've covered so far, and with us this time we have the return of our guest Wit, moderator from the ⁠⁠R/OtomeIsekai subreddit⁠⁠! Join us as we dive deep into one of the first Webtoons that sucked Marion down the rabbit hole of Romantasy. Though we might have to call it Tragentasy with how dark it gets...

Content warning for this series: physical and emotional trauma, suicidal ideations, assassination attempts, human trafficking, manipulation, gaslighting, self-harm, torture, graphic violence and murder, severe depression, bombing, and guns.
