I always like to check up on Dark Legacy Comics on the weekend, even though I quit WoW like 4 years ago.

I first saw Minmax doing the really clever spatial tricks with his sword and read Goblins as a result.

Sure.

Ok that time he was being stupid and defeating himself, but the whole combat style where it gets blocked so he just lets go and repositions to grab it at an unguarded angle and stuff is cool.

Welp, I'm now addicted to Scary Go Round. Thanks Reeyla.

Oh cool, btw it's been rebooted at several points, and it can be hard to work out what order it's meant to occur in:

This is the proto-comic which started in 1998
http://www.scarygoround.com/bobbins/index-archive.php?date=19980921

Here's the 2002 - 2009 arc which is my favorite:

The current comic is Bad Machinery (2009+), which I haven't gotten around to checking out yet, when you click "very beginning" on the website it takes you to the start of this publication:
http://scarygoround.com/index.php?date=20090918

I'd suggest start with the 2002 version then jump back to the 1998 version once familiar with the main characters, because basically started as a whole different type of comic then gradually evolved into the genre it is now. The 2009 version is a spin-off focusing on the newer generation of characters.

Personally I think Bad Machinery is a lot more coherent than its predecessors. I read through the 2002/Scary Go Round archive after reading through the first few Bad Machinery arcs, but just completely bounced off of the 1998/Bobbins art and writing. All of them revolve around weird people in a weird British suburb falling prey to weird stuff, but Bad Machinery goes to some efforts to have the characters seem like real people, and not random archetypes.

Plus, Bad Machinery has mystery solving teens, which is a plus.

Right now I still like ScaryGoRound a lot more because it has a heavy dose of the dryly sarcastic Northern British humor, along with surrealistic mysteries

Welp, I'm now addicted to Scary Go Round. Thanks Reeyla.

Aww nuts, that was one of the ones I was gonna share in my next post. I really dig Scary Go Round.

soggy cardboard - It's truly awful, just the worst.

Why's Jonesy dressed up like Dr McNinja?

Edit: Anyone else patiently waiting on the Unsounded Hiatus?

Because Dr. McNinja is dressed up as Jonesy. And not dead.

Haven't seen it on here yet, The Boy Who Fell. It's about a nice young boy being sent to hell.

proof that good art absolutely cannot carry a series, dresden codak is pretty, has plenty of interesting details and plot elements, but has consistently gotten plenty of flak for being egregiously heavy-handed in regards to its transhumanist focus.

a real shame because i rather like the potential and how absolutely delightful it is to look at basically every panel. oh well, nothing is perfect.

So, let this be a lesson to you: trust random wand-cleaners, get random...uh...magical transformations.

I'm guessing Cuco got his wand switched in the wash, with the apparently real Punisher Pumice? And once they cross paths they'll realize the mistake? And possibly Almond and Peridot nearly die of Lethal Levels of Fangirling / Envy as Cuco gets to interact with their heroine and CLEARLY DOESN'T CARE ENOUGH?

(Just spitballing some ideas, but if I called it, I'mma do a dance. NOTE: Cucumber Quest is notoriously hard to predict at times like this, so....)
