Thank you in advance to the good people at Boxhead for not suing me.

New comic is up, marking the end of the O Great And Noble Heroes trilogy. Also, this space is reserved for more comics if I ever run out of room in the first post.

New comic is up, and this may also be used for more space.

And seriously, no-one's reading this? If you are, please comment, even if it's to say that it's terrible.

Well, as you wish...

Humor is a tricky thing, and I don't think you quite got the subtleties yet. For a comic that runs on pure humor, the jokes are rather... simplistic. The main problem lies in that your medium is rather simple, so the humor is all that's there for the comic to stand on. Let's take a look at the core jokes.

Comic 1) I'm not sure what the joke is here. Incompetent partner? Accidental pulling of strong monsters? Also, there is some confusion who each speaker are. There seems to be three people, but only two are named. The whiteouts caused by what I assume is a rocket launcher are rather distracting as well.

Comic 2) Don't tempt fate. Honestly, this is a rather predictable joke. You can see the punchline coming from a mile away.

Comic 3) Oops, I forgot I had stealth mode? I'm not sure I see what's funny.

Solo comic 1) Teamkilling due to annoying teammate. Nothing new here. While the repetition of the "we're gonna die" is necessary to the setup, a little bit of variety between panels is necessary to make it interesting

Solo comic 2) Rocket guy is a jerk. That's it.


So as you see, when you're working with a medium that's little better than the ubiquitous sprite comic, and the jokes fall flat, you don't have anything for your comic to stand on. Sorry to tell you this, but that's how it is. Humor is a very tricky thing to get right.

To address some of your points (mostly the comic 1 ones), the comic was largely an intro to the comic, and the speech in boxes is our narrator.

I do have one person who has seen these comics already, and he found them amusing. I guess I'll need some more opinions to see which is closer to the norm.

Thanks for the feedback.

2 to 1, not funny.

Sorry.
