Shimmed Tales: Midweek MC: Futanari Comic Edition

I've decided I need to turn this weekly post into a combination of 'nice stuff I've seen this week' as well as miniature reviews for the MC stories I've read over the week. I'm starting to run out of backlogged items anyway!

I'll still sneak in awesome stuff I've seen as well, but I won't be entirely focused on that going forward.

MCStories

This site usually updates Saturdays, and I browse it every week looking for stories that tickle my fancy. Here are three that I've been following this week and particularly enjoy:

The Camping Bug - That Squick Guy

This is one of the hottest, squickiest stories I've read in quite some time. The mind control vector is very large bugs that turn women into nests to create more bugs? Yes, please!

I don't think as many people like this kind of horror story, but I do!

I love that the new 'nests' are really happy about being nests after they've been converted!

It's too bad the story is only a two parter, but I'm looking forward to more from this author.

Uplink - nevermind

The depersonalization associated with robots/nanomachines don't generally float my boat, but Hive Drone creation and serial recruitment are always fun. I don't have much to say on this one as I've only gotten half way through, but the way the first recruitment is handled is quite hot.

I'll have to dig into this author's backlog and see if there's anything else I would enjoy in there, as it looks like they have been active for quite some time. I'm not sure how this author flew under my radar, but it's possible my tastes didn't align with this author's past works.

It Rings for Thee - Doctor D

There are lots of things to like about this tale - the idea of a group of powerful, foreign women coming into a town and slowly taking things over with powerful artifacts has been done before by Tabico to great effect, and I'm pleased to see it again here. The animalistic nature of the hunter women, and the strange things the invaders are forcing the townspeople to do as they are subtly changed amps up the heat.

My only major gripe with this tale is that it's so damn SLOW to get to the denouement. It's the opposite problem of many tales, where the mind control is wham, bam, thank you maam, and there's no build up. Here you're just left waiting with the faucet drip, drip, dripping material to you.

We still don't really know the true form of the huntwomen. We haven't really seen any transformation being done yet to the main heroine despite her slow fall into corruption - and it's three long chapters into the story already!

This story is incredibly promising. I won't give it up, but I'll have to wait and see if the payoff matches the hype. I suspect the next chapter is where it will really get hopping. Hopefully.

Uzobone - Black Helix

I haven't mentioned Uzobono on this blog yet? Crazy!

She's been making amazing rendered comics for a long time, now. To catch her earliest work, you'll need to visit MC Comix, which is unfortunately still pay walled.

However, all her most recent work is freely available on DeviantArt! I would especially recommend the CORE series, a collaboration with Tabico.

Her latest offering, titled Black Helix, is, in my opinion, one of her best efforts yet. That's only if you're okay with futanari, however. If not, I would recommend the rest of her collection, as it is all lesbian. She even says herself that this is probably the only futa comic she'll ever make, which is a shame, since she makes such high quality comics.

There's a lot to like here in her latest offering - forced transformation, brain washing, with a side of eventual pregnancy. I won't give too much away. Just... go read it! It's free!

Miraculous Ladybug - Reflekta

Let's take a segue in an odd direction. 'Miraculous Ladybug' is a French children's cartoon about two teens in France with the ability to transform into costumed superheroes - a ladybug and a cat guy. They episodically fight an evil villain which has a penchant for transforming other normal teenagers into his minions - which means they're effectively fighting a proxy war all the time. Sucks to be them.

As a children's show, this is of course played with a light tone, but some of the transformations are quite interesting. One episode in particular spawned a lot of fun transformation art.

The episode can be seen on Youtube here. The villainness, called Reflekta, is granted the ability to turn other people into copies of her. This unfortunately doesn't involve changing their minds as well... but imagine what could have been if that were the case! What if she had won?

Plenty of people did imagine that:
