Webcomic Book Club Summary Reviews
of Dominic Deegan: Oracle For Hire by Michael "Mookie" Terracciano


"Dominic Deegan concerns the comical exploits of a magical seer in a D&D-type fantasy realm. It's structured as a combination gag strip/serial adventure. The comedic aspects of the strip weren't all that funny to me, but the main characters and the adventures held my interest enough to finish the archives. It certainly improved over time, though isn't a particularly noteworthy strip."

"Compared to the other reviewers, I wasn't overly impressed with Dominic Deegan. It's not bad and the premise is kind of interesting, but the writing felt rather typical and the american manga style wasn't winning it many favors from me. While the situation theme seems unique enough by design, it doesn't strike me as something I'd go out of my way to read unless maybe I was recently introduced to webcomics."

"Beginning with the most visually obvious rough edge, the artwork isn't the best out there, but I enjoy its sketchy lines and 'drawn in a notebook' style. Some comics use that style and just look lazy, but Dominic Deegan makes it look relaxed and easy-going."

"Some of the jokes are quite nice, and the creator does a nice job of keeping dramatic tension, even with Dominic's foresight. But the puns can be truly awful, and he reuses at least one gag. I can forgive him a little for that, due to the circumstances, but it still annoyed me. The pace can also be quite slow...thankfully, it's a daily strip."

"The ability to see the future...This is one of the most dangerous abilities a writer could ever choose to give to their protagonist. In most cases it would be a gift powerful enough to render the story terminally numb by a constant source of Deus ex Machina. Yet this is what the author of Dominic Deegan chose to do, and he succeeded spectacularly. The author has found rational rules and limitations for seers that make them just another magician, albeit with a very unique spin."
