Itching to be elsewhere? Then point those mouses/meeses/whatever ... to these locations! Guaranteed to be some of the best in the 'Verse!
SO, where do you want to go today?
I would be remiss if I did add these three links to my site! If you don't go anywhere else, point yourselves to these three sources!
THE
CAVE OF CHOIRS
You can find all of Rebekah's fiction there,
as well as fanfic by Lord Nelson, Imbri, and Anon. Reading Rebekah's fiction
is a must, however ... she was one of the first bards of the Xenaverse
and her work is not to be missed!
Xena
Online Resources
Why muck around on this link page when you
can go to the MOTHER of all Xenite link pages?!
Sword
and Staff
THE place to go to help out in the Xenaverse!
Interested in more? Check out my "ways
to help out page!"
Believe it or not, XWGP is not the first nor the last artistic endeavor in the Xenaverse (the mind boggles, does it not?) For other "animated" looks at the battling bard and the warrior princess, check out these sites that I've found on the net! If you have a comic site (these are different from graphics fanart ... I'll have a separate section for that later. This section purely for freehand drawings) that hasn't been listed here let me know and I'll add you to the list! If your site is here and your rather not be associated with crazy guinea pigs, let me know, and I'll take you off! (btw, I AM getting around to e-mailing you all! Promise!)
WARNING: Pay careful attention to the description of these pages. Like the opinions of the fans, the comic talent in the Xenaverse range from alt/slash friendly to Joxer-Gab romantic pages. Though sometimes the sentiment and content of the pages are the total opposite of one another, I find all these expressions of creativy wonderful. However, you might not, so surfer beware! Also, OPINIONS EXPRESSED ON SITES OTHER THAN THIS ONE ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE OPINIONS HELD BY ME! I'm just trying to gather all links to all the comics in the Xenaverse in one place! Ahem. Just so you know!
REMEMBER: FEED THE
ARTISTS! These people put alot of hard work into these strips, so drop
them a line if you look at their work!
Aponce's
Comic Page
Sadly, the series
hasn't been completed ... YET! But check out the mini-comics. And
maybe if you annoy the artist ... *chuckle* she'd add some more. I like
the anime-ish style of drawing, and everyone has to love the Gabby-action
figures, eh? Has a mandatory "subtext" scene in one comic, but should be
safe for non-subtexters ... and even Joxer fans!
BATTLE
ON!
THE, I mean THE grandmother of ALL Xena
comics, Jeanette Atwood is one of the BEST out there (if not THE best).
The artwork is excellent, and best of all, it's been running for years
so there is plenty to catch up on (sadly, Jeanette retired the comic half
a year ago ... waaaaaaaaah)! It also has my favorite Xena comic of all
time. So run, don't walk to this site and check it out! (It is somewhat
subtext friendly but it is also Ares friendly .... ooh, he's
not delicious, he's only drawn that way ... .heee heee heeee!) Also,
be sure to take a look at what Jeanette
is
doing in the meantime!
BLUNDER
ON!
For the Joxer lover in you (Love him, hate
him, everyone HAS has to admit SOME fondness for the guy, after nearly
six seasons!) come and feed the need. The "ads" on the front page are catchy,
and there's plenty of Joxer goodness to go around ... almost 2 years worth.
And the artist makes Ares
look
mighty fine too! Bug the artist for more!
Lucia's
Cartoon Connection
A definite must-see
site. IMHO, Lucia's comic is the pinnacle of cuteness! Little Xena and
Little Gabrielle are wonderfully drawn, and their adventures always bring
a grin to my face. Her renditions of Doria from the Missy Good series are
precious. My favorite HAS to be Little Gabrielle learning to read!
Scott
King's Artwork-
also can be found
at: http://ausxip.com/artwork/Scott.htm
Done in the classical
comicbook superhero style, X&G never looked so good! However, for the
faint of heart, there are a few comics dealing with the crucifixion. Nonetheless,
the artwork is superb, and the storylines are funny (if mildly twisted
at times!)
Subtext
Comics
Well, the name says
it all. Not actually a hand-drawn comic series, but screen captures with
innnnnnnnteresting comic "balloons" inserted into the dialogue. It's a
rather offbeat look at some familiar scenes, and worth a look! Some dialogue
IS rather explicit, though, and this DEFINITELY NOT A SITE FOR CHILDREN!
Understanding
Xena -
Neato-completo ...
it's a Whoosh article consisting ENTIRELY of a comic! Never knew that something
so funny could be academic at the same time. Might be considered
a little "altish" with that bathtub scene, but since it's nothing "graphic"
(ha-ha) it should be safe for non-subtext lovers too. Has some comic links
at the end that were very helpful to me too!
Just a little note to remind you to FEED THE ARTISTS! Just in case you forgot!
Know of other Original Xena Comic sites? LET ME KNOW!
The PTB did put out an Official Xena Comic book through Topps and later the Darkhorse companies. Interested? Check out these sites for more info!
The
Xena Comic Book Page
Xena
Comic Book Collection
Montages
and Other Fanart!
The
Xenaverse has a diverse range of artists and these artist express their
creativity in many diverse ways! Check out these wonderful montage/fanart
pages, and (while I marvel jealously at how well these people actually
are able to draw humans or merge images from the show! *sigh* If I only
could draw humans .... and if I only had a brain ....) Know of other good
fanart/montage sites? Let me know!
Dreamer's
Montages
Oooh, I'm so jealous
.... Dreamer has signed montages, as well as character themed and
season themed montages! My favorites so far are her post-fin pics!
It's also perfect place to visit if you're looking for a new background
to spice up your boring ol' PC! Go now!
Marcella's
Montages
Marcella's a wonder
with using Xena and Gabby's bod -- I mean images! The choices she
uses and the themes of the page evoke one's emotions very well. Her
Remember series is the best! Also, check out those animated pics ...
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ... I wish I knew how to do animated pics! Just
think of the possibilities ... the dancing Guinea pigs .....
Other Sites Around the Xenaverse
The
Australian Xena Page
THE place to go for
all things Xena. With daily updates, first rate news from the Xenaverse,
fanfic, images, montages .... MaryD's has it all! Also, she hosts many
of the best artists as well. Guaranteed to eat up most of your online Xena
time!
L.Fox's
Story and stuff!
Visit the vulpine
critter and check out his stories! He's been around since the very beginning
of fanfic time, and his stories are not to be missed, so if you have a
spare hour or two, and just want some good ol' classic X&G or Janice
and Mel, head on over!
Tom's
Xena Page
The
one that started it all! One of the first and best Xenite sites around.
Unfortunately, it went into semi-retirement last year, but it still maintains
a vast wealth of sounds, images, art, and fanfic from the show! Also, it
has Xena video games. A definite MUST see!
Ultimate
Fanfiction Index
For
other creative endeavors in the arts, I suggest you check out this site!
Fanfic rules!
Verrath's
Xena Page
Being
a lover of all furry things, I highly recommend Verrath's Leopard series.
Plus, she's an excellent artist as well!
Whoosh!

did! Come and check out their e-zine and articles dedicated to all things
