Anyone interested in a webcomic/webtoon hybrid?
The genre is Steam Punk.

So... anyone like that genre?
You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, instead, you should read every single book to see what every book is about before you even come close to judging its viability.

Well, duh.

Steam Punk Genre basically boils down to this: Magic and Metal
Machine and the Elements
What and the ever.

From here:

The Gods of Slang wrote:Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, usually set in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. It could be described by the slogan "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner." It includes fiction with science fiction, fantasy or horror themes.


They include a bunch of examples — Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Van Helsing, Steamboy, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, etc. A lot of H.G. Wells/Jules Verne can be classified as steampunk, too.

Also, Wikipedia is your friend.

I've played a game that was that it's called Archanum, and it was magic and technology together in one world.
We get off to the rhythm of the trigger and destruction. Fallujah to New Orleans with impunity to kill. We are the hidden fist of the free market.
We are the ink, we are the quill.
