Reliquary is a hand-drawn fantasy webcomic. An acolyte is brought back from death as a superpowered "angel," and finds her life significantly altered, particularly when she's called upon to fight strange monsters called Demonseeds.
It has not updated since late September 2015.
Characters:
- Alcolla- The manmade angel, who's having trouble adjusting to her new "life."
- Yakuv - The physician assigned to take care of Alcolla.
- Prior Fredakh- Yakuv's boss and Alcolla's "creator."
- Chiruli, Muuta, and Haruti - Alcolla's school friends, who help keep her sane.
