Jacq of All Blades (http://www.jacqofallblades.com/) is the sequel to Jack of All Blades (http://jackofallblades.com/?p=1), which should probably tell us a lot about the naming abilities of the authors, and is pretty awesome. There was a previous thread here ("http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=156575"), but it died.

At any rate, I have a question or three for other readers of the comic.

Firstly, what happened to Marbles? He seems to have disappeared out of Jacqi's life.

Secondly, what are the odds that Tsai actually defeats Melek and takes back her original body. Furthermore, what are the odds that Melek then tries to take Jacqi's body.

Finally, which is everybody's favorite character? Mine is the Rabbit God. He seems like an incarnation of the spirit of the Internet, complete with trolling!

Ahh, this comic.

I haven't read that much of Jacq's adventures, un/fortunately, though I did read all of Jack's. I liked the ludicrosity of how swords were presented as the most awesome anything ever, to the point that no one will fight you if you brandish a sword - even if you have no clue how to use it effectively. It had amusing elements, but I think the end kinda got rushed in places, specifically the lead-up about Jack's heritage.

Oh well, I'll get around to archiving Jacq sometime, I imagine.

I like it. It has kind of unique qualities, but I've never had many qualms with the comic, and I've been reading since Jack of all Blades was pretty young.

Marbles is great. He's a good example of being able to keep a one-note joke character fresh without taking away from who he is.

The necromancer's (Dr. Pryon?) death was bad ass disobedient donkey.

I will give the J-name Of All Blades guy credit: he has some of the greatest un-sound effects ever. "Hidden-from-Jill!" is a personal favorite :smallbiggrin:

I think somewhere we saw "Un-pants" as a sound effect. It was pretty boss.
