It&#8217;s created by Buck Young (previously known as Noben, Casey) It follows the various random, seldomly finished adventures of a group of dragon characters known as kuvrahks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Altermeta Classic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original series is all here and now called Altermeta Classic! With an archive of over 300 comics, there&#8217;s adventures waiting for new readers and those rediscovering the site!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Altermeta<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new unfolding story featuring characters familiar and new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comic Questions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>I&#8217;m new to the comic! What&#8217;s going on?<\/strong><br>If you want to get more familiar with some of the characters in the comic consider reading some of the Classics. As a humble manager and obsessive superfan of Altermeta, I recommend Chapter 2 Nemesis and Chapter 10; Ruler of the World as good starting points. Or just start reading and enjoy the ride!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>When does the comic update?<\/strong><br>Altermeta strives to update once a week. This is ideal and we here at Altermeta HQ are trying to make good things happen cause the world can use some goodness right about now but the state of the world isn&#8217;t always the most conclusive to being creative ya know? Patreon is where comics will go up first but they will always show up here on the site after a short delay! <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sex, Dragons and Rock &amp; Roll?! Is Altermeta a porn comic?<\/strong><br>Altermeta is not a porn comic! The tagline is a simple play on words from the popular phrase &#8220;Sex, Drugs, and Rock &amp; Roll.&#8221; While the comic can get a little racy at times, it will always stay at a &#8220;PG-13&#8221; rating. It can explore the same concepts that normal people go through, but will keep things at a level acceptable to readers under the age of 18.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Site Questions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Where do donations go?<\/strong><br>The money is used to keep Buck (the artist) alive and fed. Any amount of money given is appreciated and helps keep he comic rolling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Are there any incentives for donating?<\/strong><br>Yes! You get to see this site stay up! As far as actual incentives go, we like to thank the supporters and we will be in contact with you if we have any incentives to give at the time! Incentives are usually things like exclusive pictures, higher resolution versions of the comics, or (when available) stickers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How much should I donate?<\/strong><br>You should donate whatever you can afford. We are grateful for any contribution we get. However, due to they way paypal&#8217;s fees work, $5 or more will leave a good percentage of the money with us and not in fees. The fees do not apply if you send directly from a paypal account, but rather, sending $1 by credit card will only send roughly 67 cents to us. (30 cents + about 2% of the money goes to fees). Don&#8217;t let that discourage you from donating! Additionally, lower donations may make it hard for us to justify sending any physical incentives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Site Credits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Buck Young &#8211; Creator, Artist, Writer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you enjoy Altermeta, it&#8217;s all thanks to Buck. Beginning work on what would be Altermeta in the early 90s, the kuvrahks grew and evolved over time to their current (sexy) iteration. When life isn&#8217;t screwing them over, Buck is sketching, playing Magic or trying to exist in this shattered, post sanity world we find ourselves in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Sho &#8211; &#8220;Manager&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person pretending to be in charge, Sho lead the charge on resurrecting the website and constantly hears the sound of deadlines flying by, which is actually quite nice once you get used to it. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you found something on the site that&#8217;s broken, send a message to Metator.Sho@gmail.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Gemi Thomas &#8211; Database Administrator\/Programmer, WordPress Wrangler<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friend of Sho and a Database Administrator (programmer) by trade, Gemi Thomas was recruited due to Sho&#8217;s knowledge of building a website being stuck in 2007. She fought WordPress (and won!), created the chapter banners on the archive pages and deserves all the nachos. Gemi Thomas is probably working but can be found at her Deviant Art page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deviantart.com\/geminimystica\/gallery\/\">https:\/\/www.deviantart.com\/geminimystica<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Caltsar &#8211; Webmaster, Small Business Owner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Builder of the original site and one of the oldest friends to Buck and Altermeta, Caltsar has been nothing but helpful over the years and has gratitude unending from all of us here at AM HQ. Caltsar is currently running Haunted Opossum Creations, which can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/hauntedopossum.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Old Guard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The many folks that found the comic way back when and then some, supported and stuck around during the low points. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1002\" src=\"https:\/\/altermeta.net\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_20260118_220755-edited-1024x1002.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-256\" style=\"width:356px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/altermeta.net\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_20260118_220755-edited-1024x1002.png 1024w, https:\/\/altermeta.net\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_20260118_220755-edited-300x294.png 300w, https:\/\/altermeta.net\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_20260118_220755-edited-768x751.png 768w, https:\/\/altermeta.net\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_20260118_220755-edited.png 1487w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Altermeta is a webcomic that first debuted in 2002.
