Pandea is a webcomic about people with supernatural abilities and the destructive effect it can have on their lives. It first started as a series of characters and plots that Matthew created when he was an undergraduate at Carnegie Mellon University. He was looking for an outlet for his ideas and tried a few different things, including running a table top role-playing game. Eventually he asked Chelsea (fellow CMU student, artist, and occasional partner in crime) to draw some of his characters and from that they decided to turn the story into a webcomic.

Pandea in its current form is a based on Matthew’s early ideas but has changed a lot as he and Chelsea have started to work together. Many of the plot points, characters, and artistic choices are influenced by both of them, even though the actually writing is done by Matthew and the actual art is done by Chelsea.
