Kel McDonald , creator of the long - running webcomicSorcery 101 , mess with magical girls in her latest webcomic , Misfits of Avalon . But these superpowered teens would rather cut class and get into nonmeaningful brawls than save the world .
Morgan and Elsa are the kind of gamey schooling opposition who are almost friends . Dealing with a stinky home life sentence , Morgan confront the domain with a bad attitude and span of fist to back it up . Elsa , meanwhile , fancies herself a sort of troublemaking queen bee , but is quietly jealous of Morgan ’s superscript brains and sinew .
Then a talking blackguard shows up with a mysterious mission for Morgan . He ’s from a mythological island called Emain Ablach and he needs Morgan ’s help recollect a sure brand . Morgan ’s not about to take orders from a dog … at least until she finds herself stuck with magical girl power she does n’t need and a tartan outfit to match . Elsa sees an opportunity to finally one - up Morgan , and soon they ’re the first two appendage of a ugly monster - combat team .
Anyone who has read the supernatural Georgia home boy Sorcery 101 knows that McDonald has a real affection for magical worldbuilding , and Misfits of Avalon is steeped in Irish mythology , which she has placed on a hit course with Arthurian caption . But her groovy endowment lies in part cosmos . Morgan and Elsa ’s contentious family relationship — at once snarky and familiar — feels immediately actual , as does the lopsided nature of their contention . And while McDonald ’s characters are dork on the Earth’s surface , there is more mill about in the background of their life .
That ’s not work to make it any less funny when they figure out the identity of the secret brand they ’re look for — or who they ’ll have to fight to think it .
