Background
This webcomic was mentioned on the BWW forums, and I ultimately decided to have a go at it.
Downfall
This webcomic always sucked.
Story and Plot
Not applicable. The original cartoon was a bulletin board of cartoon about various religious topics. But that has been replaced by a bulletin board of conservative political cartoons. This is a conservative version of I Drew This with worse art.
Art review
In the original webcomic, the figures were very simple drawings. But the current one has much less appealing art:
Sadly, the new webcomic looks a lot worse than the original one visually.
Writing review
The original webcomic was mostly about Christianity and how Adam Ford viewed it. Most of the current strips about about politics and say nothing that other political outlets don't already cover.
Author biography
The author's Patreon page, but now it says, “This patron isn’t supporting any creators at the moment.“ The page also had a brief biography of him but that is gone.
Conclusion
At least the original Adam4d webcomic was mostly about Christianity and the author's views on it. Not a good webcomic then, but this is worse, simply banal conservative political platitudes we have all heard before. Even those who agree with everything this webcomic says will find nothing they cannot see elsewhere.

- Thy Kingdom Comics is this webcomic in physical book form. Believe it or not, it has a number of good reviews, so there is an audience for this material. And there are enough reviews so this isn't a case of fake good reviews like some of the books by other people we reviewed here.
- The Babylon Bee, a satirical website founded by Adam Ford, but he would later sell it.
