Which is good, but then again, getting her out of the city seems like a huge step back story wise considering how big of a deal they made about her being in it.

Aliroz · 2013-05-15 13:45:37

OOTS update a couple days ago.

Right in the feels, too.

Aliroz · 2013-05-22 13:35:17

GIRL GENIUS UPDATE.

THEY'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE FOR A WHILE.

Justice4243 · 2013-05-22 16:30:48

I think I could post out of context The Dreadful comics all day:

Obā-san · 2013-05-22 16:32:46

looks like the beginning of a porno

Justice4243 · 2013-05-22 16:34:39

Also, Gunnerkrigg Court just took an interesting turn.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-05-22 16:47:22

does anyone here read Pixie Trix titles besides me?

Magick Chicks looks like it'll be getting a bit more interesting soon.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-05-22 22:03:10

^^ An interesting turn that's been foreshadowed to heck and back for the last week.

Justice4243 · 2013-05-24 13:51:24

Another Dreadful update...heh...

Justice4243 · 2013-05-24 13:53:42

You know...I meant to embed that at 30 seconds for my point, but the whole thing is oddly relevant.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-05-24 19:57:29

But how would the tattoo work if Ron Wizard was the most rad?

Justice4243 · 2013-05-25 01:02:41

Huh...maybe there are special engraving birds...

Justice4243 · 2013-05-27 04:17:59

I've decided I like Tweedle much more than Tavrek...

Granted that bar wasn't particularly high.

Aliroz · 2013-05-27 11:21:15

Yeah, being better than Tavrek is like being better than Boxbot.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-05-27 19:56:17

I recently binged Epiphany. People talk a lot about the slow pacing, but the pace felt perfect to me. It's a very low-key story in spite of the subject matter, so having events come together gradually at an increasing velocity feels much more appropriate than a rapid-fire approach.

I think it's nearing the end stretch now. Not sure what Jay's going to do the round it off...

Justice4243 · 2013-05-28 01:23:50

I started reading it today since you mentioned it.

The first chapter seems to be something like a slice of life. Pretty well written, too. Then chapter 3 kicks in and it just...

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-05-28 01:25:48

Thank Naney for reminding me to read it.

And yes, it is exactly like that.

Justice4243 · 2013-05-30 02:00:06

So ummmm...

Where the FUCK did Krosp and Violetta go?

Krosp mysteriously disappeared some pages back, Violetta before that.

Aliroz · 2013-05-30 22:13:27

So, did Agatha just lose her virginity there or...?

Yarrun XIX · 2013-05-30 22:23:55

She still has pants on, and knowing Phil Foglio's past work, I don't think he'd pass up an opportunity to draw Agatha in lingerie. So.....probably not.

Alduin · 2013-05-31 01:06:08

You guys, check out Unsounded. It's a fantasy comic about a half-something half-human girl and a lich fighting pedophile slavers.

Justice4243 · 2013-06-03 17:00:14

So ummmm...

Where the FUCK did Krosp and Violetta go?

Krosp mysteriously disappeared some pages back, Violetta before that.

I would have humored they where keeping out of site until they felt that Agatha needed assistance, but "being poisoned into being someone's assistant" sort of counts as "needing assistance".

Also, do we need ANOTHER instance of Agatha being under control of someone else?

This comic has turned "not going anywhere" into an art-form.

Justice4243 · 2013-06-04 00:09:45

It is accomplished.

Sredni Vashtar · 2013-06-04 15:30:37

In many senses of the word.

Justice4243 · 2013-06-10 16:47:50

And they're back, finally.

Apparently they "ducked out of sight."

OK, I can buy the Krosp isn't super loyal, but Violetta just booked it, too?

Maybe Smoke Nights have a defult "run and assess" protocol I'm unaware of.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-06-10 17:08:23

pedophile slavers

That sounds like an oddly specific thing for a whole group of villains to be.

Justice4243 · 2013-06-10 17:57:09

It does indeed sounds like high concept applied to acceptable targets for creating villains.

Bunny · 2013-06-10 17:58:53

By pedophile slavers do you mean "slavers who are also pedophiles" or "slavers who sell kids to pedophiles"?

This is a very important distinction.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-06-10 19:41:04

Having read a chapter and a half, I can say "probably both, definitely the former".

Yarrun XIX · 2013-06-10 19:49:53

The sheer snarkiness of the tailed girl is part of why I stopped reading. After the snark of a character passes a certain level without being countered by punishment or snark from another person, it becomes annoying and I can no longer tolerate it.

The other reason is that the imagery got weird in the middle of chapter 2.

Justice4243 · 2013-06-18 15:32:49

Girl Genius update.

What a tweeeest!

Justice4243 · 2013-06-18 15:41:46

Also in regards to Girl Genius:

Aliroz · 2013-06-18 16:12:09

Hey, It's worth it for the background art, and the background characters. Like the two-headed guy, the shop signs filled with puns, the M.C. Escher building designs; so yeah.
ANYWAYS NEW OOTS COMIC WITH THE MOST SHOCKING TWIST YET!

Obā-san · 2013-06-18 16:14:57

My issue is not so much that we went to Mechanicsburg and that this means everything that happened was a waste, just we (the readers) spent WAY too long there if this was going to be the intention.

We just spent...what...two...three years to cover what amounts to maybe a week of in universe time? To build up to some sort of crazy climax? Just so they could time skip two and a half years with the main character being MIA? Seriously?

I won't say that I'm not interested in this new direction. However, I will say that it seems the Fogilos need to sit down and get a hold of the pacing for this story.

Aliroz · 2013-06-18 17:17:45

Pacing, Schmacing. For those of us with no real sense of time, good pacing is the same as bad pacing. When you can't tell an hour from a second, waiting isn't so bad.

Justice4243 · 2013-06-18 17:21:23

I doubt that's an attitude that covers very much of their reader base. People have been complaining about the pacing since the whole "Tavrek is poisoned!" ark, and it's never been fixed since.

Yarrun XIX · 2013-06-18 19:08:22

Bunny · 2013-06-18 19:09:28

oh good someone's reading digger

Obā-san · 2013-06-18 19:10:38

chapter one was hella rad, i'll report back once im finished w/ the whole thing

Bunny · 2013-06-18 19:15:46

Digger is just hella rad in general

I really think I should reread it, it's been too long

Really liking both of these, but particularly Thunderpaw. It is all kinds of weird, and there are moments like this. I mean, wow.

One-Winged Eagle · 2013-06-18 20:58:22

Thunderpaw looks interesting. I'm always on the lookout for webcomics that use it's nature of being on the web for clever tricks.

Prequel does that pretty well in some of the later strips

There are a couple of nightmare sequences that make incredibly effective use of the web

Yarrun XIX · 2013-06-18 23:03:58

Bunny · 2013-06-18 23:04:58

shadowchild is like, the best character

no wait i changed my mind ed is

One-Winged Eagle · 2013-06-19 01:10:05

I do read Prequel, yes.

EDIT: Also, Ursula Vernon is pretty great in general.

We are very much in agreement here.
