I started reading Sunstone on Stjepan Sejic's side DeviantArt account (shiniez) and fell in absolute LOVE with the comic... so I decided to purchase the tidied-up, published version for myself. And boy-oh-boy. Wowwwwwza. T'was money well spent-- no, invested! I love Stjepan's drawing and art style and am a HUGE fan of his work. He puts so much detail into his comics -- from the unique speech bubbles, the amazing plot, the wide-range of expressions he's able to convey in his characters, to the stunning full-page masterpieces. (Seriously, I don't even know what to call those very detailed and realistically colored artwork gems sprinkled throughout the volume.) The writing doesn't fall short. It's engaging throughout the whole volume. It's funny and thoughtful. The main characters, Lisa and Ally, are slowly molded and developed into these colorful, unique characters and are treated like actual human beings with hopes, dreams, and realistic desires. Even the "secondary" characters, like Alan (who is my absolute FAVE), get many chances to shine. Sunstone is truly a creative spin on the erotic genre that is usually associated with one of the most horrid cliche BDSM books of all time (*cough* Fifty Shades of Grey *cough cough*). And-- AND! Yes, it's a F/F pairing... (I have no complaints whatsoever, but it might not be some people's cup of tea?) BUT IT'S NOT TREATED LIKE SMUT! The art is just... I can't even describe it. It's beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, alluring, jaw-dropping, elegant, intimate, aesthetic -- *insert more positive synonyms here*. I feel confident to say it was in NO way made with a male audience in mind. Yes, it's erotic and kinky. (Hello, how can BDSM not be?) But this is NOT porn. So if you're looking for huge (unrealistic) boobs and a whole book full of raunchy nude women -- hit that back button, buddy. This isn't for you. Sure, you could say that it's on the brink of falling into the risque category, but the scenes are perfectly balanced, straddling the line between being racy and intimate. The nudity is sensual and thoughtfully drawn. This is a work of art.
I think I've fangirled over this comic enough. So, in conclusion: get Sunstone! This is a comic that I'm not afraid to recommend to my more adventurous friends. Which I'm now recommending to you, friend. You won't be disappointed! And if you're anything like me, you'll scream/cry when you hit the end.
Happy reading!

About the author
one of the most important comics in my life
I don't normally write reviews but this one is worth it. Sunstone started a gag series by one of my favorite artists.When first found Sunstone, it wasn't anything more than a collection of gag panels on DeviantArt. I had no idea that they were done by one of my all time favorite artists, stjepan sejic.I don't really know what to say about this series that others haven't. Sex is just the vehicle to tell amazing stories about deep, complex characters who share universal truths about dating, friendships, and not assuming you know what your partner actually thinks. Stories that have me needing the next panel, even as I cringe with guilt that I'm enjoying the suffering of the protagonists.The art conveys so much energy, such life. A side glance from a character tells volumes about their history, the exaggerated expressions and lingering panels that last just long enough to be expressive without being smut.Another author, another time, about another book series, said meta-references don't cover up the weaknesses in a story. In this case, the meta elements about an author and telling a story only enhance, accentuate the narrators involvement.This is a comic series I can share with anyone from my best friends to my partner to my in-laws. It's more than worth it.
