Greetings, inquisitive Aurora people. Below please find the 2012 West of Bathurst
comics. I've started this page a few weeks before the end of
2011, simply because if I started right on January 2nd, you would be
relatively likely to take one look at the comic and retreat in
bewilderment. While this may still happen, at least the December
12 comic is at the beginning of a storyline rather than in the middle
of one.West of Bathurst
is a plot-oriented comic. Consequently, no matter where you start
reading, you'll likely feel a little lost. Long story short:
the comic revolves around the life of a twenty-something graduate
student, Marie Dumont. In late 2011, one of her friends, Casey
Mulligan, is living with her as he attempts to get his life together.
There is something strange about Casey, but no one is sure what.
Though his friend Nico seems to know what it is, Nico isn't
talking. In the first storyline linked below, Nico pays Casey a
visit on Christmas Eve. Marie, incidentally, has an imaginary (possibly) doppelgänger
whom she calls Evil Marie. Evil Marie tends to turn up when Marie
is under pressure. Generally, she makes the situation worse.
There has been some slight evidence that Casey may be able to see
Evil Marie. And thus we begin...
