Anti-Heroes

[Zarah]

Yes, you guys are probably getting pretty tired of comics, but being that I love drawing in the OotS art style, I figured I'd try my hand at it and give you something at least a little original. :smalltongue: So I came up with this:


NOTE: This thread is outdated. If you're looking for the new thread, look no further (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75583).

What happens when the monsters you're supposed to be fighting band together and start hunting you down looking for vengeance? Well, I don't know, but a young Rogue named Lana is about to find out from a perspective she never thought she'd see in her life... or death.

Hehehe bigger boobs.

Anyway, your comic looks very well done and thought out. I have no problem with it being on these boards.

Keep up the good work.:smallbiggrin:

[Ichneumon]

I can't believe it. This seems like a very good comic.

*Just checking, yes they do seem to have grown since she became a vampire*

Wow, this is really good.

[FoE]

Hey, this is actually pretty good! :smallsmile:

[NikkTheTrick]

Nice...

Now, once again, what is the spell for boobies... there's someone I need to cast it on...

[The_Chilli_God]

I... Might... Actually...

No, I refuse to accept that there could possibly be a comic series in these forums that I will actually bother to track regularly.

But you came dangerously close to being the first, and that's a monumental achievement in itself.

[banjo1985]

Nice. This deserves a place on our boards! Made me laugh, and a comic about anti-heroes is a nice idea. Keep them coming and you'll officially jump to No.2 on my favourites list on here!

[Bayar]

I like it...hehe...boobies...dont stop now !

[Lyinginbedmon]

Good art, nice humour, definite storyline prospects...Yes this looks to be a good one :smallsmile:

[Zarah]

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. And don't worry, I've got no intention of stopping any time soon! :smallbiggrin:

I also managed to get issue four done! Issue five is also well in the works, so it should be appearing soon. Enjoy!

Issue 4: They're Answers Aren't They?
http://zara.switzerlan.org/images/antiheroes/Issue4.png

[kpenguin]

I see Lana's.... errr.... "Charisma bonus" is going to be recurring joke.:smallbiggrin:

[Sneak]

Nice job, Zarah! Honestly? I think this has become my favorite OOTS style fan comic. Failing Saves is close, but there's just something about Anti-Heroes that just makes it...awesome. :smallcool:

So...just hope you have enough ideas to fuel you for a good long while. :smallsmile:

[Zarah]

And another! Glad to see that this is well-liked. I'm having quite the fun making it! :smallbiggrin:

Issue 5: She Became the Mascot
http://zara.switzerlan.org/images/antiheroes/Issue5.png

[banjo1985]

Hehe planar exchange students...they're all the same :smallamused:

Seriously, you have quite a bit of talent. I think this has taken the No.2 spot on my list and its pushing for No.1, give us more of the same!

I also recommend getting a banner in your signature, so that you can direct people to this thread. I think a lot of people are ignoring all the new webcomics that are starting up, but this is definitely worth looking at.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Definitely a good recurring joke handled well

[Bayar]

As a great singer once said: "gimme some more, gimme some more !" . This is around #2 place...still think that Sci-Fi stories are better, but definately best D&D comic around...for now :smallbiggrin:

[Almighty Salmon]

Ouch. These comments hurt. :smallfrown:

Do you really feel the need to shun Failing Saves in order to compliment another webcomic? This whole Webcomic trend started off as a bit of fun, but somewhere along the line you guys managed to turn it into a competition. I sigh in your general direction! :smallsigh:

Anyway, rant over. Yes. Nice webcomic. Keep it up.

[banjo1985]

Ah Failing Saves is still the best, but this one is pretty damn spiffy too :smallbiggrin:

It's not a competition, but we're allowed to have favourites :smallbiggrin:

[Bayar]

not that we dont enjoy your comic Salmon, but for me (personally)....the warforged design is wrong...try to look at OOTF, from the webcomic sections...it is much more accurate IMO.

[Thanatos 51-50]

Wow, this is quite interesting. I'm glad I caught this on the first page! This is one of the very, very good webcomics freeloading on the OotS forums.
Keep up the good work (and I second the suggestion to get a sig-banner).

Banjo, Landfish, I like your comics, too, just never got the chance to comment before page four or so, so I enjoy them in silence.

[Nameless]

This is looking very intersting...

Wait a sec, I know that hooded dude in the robes, he was always jelous of my job... :smalltongue:

By <Insert Diety/ies of your choice here>, you're right! This obviously means that anti-HEROS takes place AFTER the evens in Order of the Stick. Maybe we should ask our current crop of PCs to tell us what gender V is?

As an aside, waay back in the first comic, note how similar the elven fighter/party leader looks to Roy, and the bald archery guy kinda reminds me of Haley...

We already KNOW what gender V is, there are 2 v's, one male and one female, they are otherwise identical and switch out between panels using elven ninja skillz and magic.

Cheer leader Lana reminds me of Claire Bennet from Heroes.

Anyway, rant over. Yes. Nice webcomic. Keep it up.

Aww, don't worry Salmon. Your comic would definitely be first if the comics were linked to instead of spoilered...for some reason it just takes forever for me to load the first page. :P The two comics are probably about even, anyway. Seeing as they're the only two comics I feel the need to check regularly.

And besides. I'm not shunning Failing Saves. Isn't it taking a little break for updating? And even when I am reading, I don't comment on it. But it is really good!

Anyway, Zarah, keep up the good work! :smallbiggrin:

P.S. Competition is the spice of life.

P.P.S. My post is better than yours. :smallamused: :smalltongue:

[Szilard]

1st Page

Cool comic, I put it in the good artist section of my brain.

[Zarah]

Don't worry Salmon, Failing Saves is still a great piece of work. It's probably the chief piece of inspiration that I used for my own comic (next to OotS, obviously). I'm not trying to compete with you for greatness or anything. I'm just having fun. :smalltongue:

First things first, that's not Miko. :smalltongue: I like to think this takes place in a different world than OotS, although I haven't really made up my mind for that yet, so we'll see. She just looks similar because I borrowed her hair from my attempt at drawing a Miko-like character, so there you go.

Secondly, the "good guys" do kinda look similar to the OotS characters, but that's because they were my earlier drawings, when I was still basing them directly off the characters. Now I'm trying to be a bit more original with my creations.

Anyway, I took some advice from you guys and made some signature banners. I had a few ideas, so I decided to just make them all! :smallbiggrin:

Comic #6 is almost ready to release too. I should have it up sometime later today.

[Keris]

Andil really needs to put his next skill upgrade in Charisma...

And Robe-guy is pure awesome.

[Zarah]

It's here! Issue #6! Hope you all enjoy it, and keep that feedback coming. I like to hear from my fans. :smallbiggrin:

Issue 6: Elven Negotiations
http://zara.switzerlan.org/images/antiheroes/Issue6.png

After that, I think Andil needs more than a "few" more points in his Charisma. :smalltongue:

[FoE]

"You looted my corpse?" Classic. Keep 'er coming. :smallbiggrin:

[Keris]

So my comment was a little early... comic 6 was briliant, can't wait for 7!

And Robe-guy is pure awesome.
:amused:

[Lyinginbedmon]

It would've been problematic to have a vampire in a party of diurnal living folk anyways

[Illiterate Scribe]

One of the best OOTS-style comics I've seen.

ABR. Now. :smallamused:

[NikkTheTrick]

"You might want to consider losing a few pounds." I'd call that pinnacle on stupidity if I have not seen my friends telling that to their girlfriends :)

And yes, looks like Failing Saves now has tough competition.

*Shakes fist at* It's not a competition! Curse you! :smalltongue: Besides, we'll be moving from Giantitp very soon.

Anyway, Looking forward to the fight. Can't wait to see Ghost Guy in action.

[Zarah]

Just a small update. I noticed a couple typos in issue 6, but they should be fixed up now.

Of course it's a competition! Now normally I'd punish you by throwing a chainsaw wielding maniac at you, but the one I used is gone.

you definatly need to give tell us where to. Or at least change the URL in your sig banner.

I anti-HEROS related news, I especially like the "Summon Crappy Joke" bit, but whatever.
Also - elf-fighter uses a flachion. Shiney. Curved blades don't get enough love.

[NikkTheTrick]

Besides, we'll be moving from Giantitp very soon.
:smalleek:
Make sure to leave us a link to where you'll be moving.

[Solmage]

Just a quick comment repeating the rest: Awesome! I liked most of them, but the last one with her willing to return to the party was truly great :smallsmile:

[Zarah]

Whammo! Yet another one! My time off before school starts up again is running out, so I figured I should try and get as many of these up as possible. Expect to see another couple issues tomorrow!

(For all you Cloak-Guy fans out there, this one's for you. :smalltongue: )

Issue 7: Revenge is Best Served With a Side of Ranger

Wooo! Go Cloak-Guy!

I have a theory, the cloak guy=gilph (From failing saves), they both appear to posses untold amounts of awsomeitude, and they are both in fan made webcomics. Its teh only thing that makes sense!

[Kigganaku]

The arrow pierced her belly button, lol.

Awsome comic, just one more reason to come to the Arts & Craft section of the forums

[Bayar]

I really should look at the monster manual more often...lots of cool stuff there...like vampires with SA...

[Nameless]

So my comment was a little early... comic 6 was briliant, can't wait for 7!

I wear hooded robes... pluss I have a scythe and wings whenever I feel like showing them. :smallamused:

with that said:

Go, ROB!

BLOODY FLAMING PIECE OF MEAT!!!

(kudos to anybody who gets the reference :smallamused:)

Excellent, EXCELLENT work. Forget all those guys who are too shocked to admit that they love it, you've got something very seriously awesome going here. Keep it up. :smallwink:

[banjo1985]

I repeat, this is very very spiffy indeed :smallbiggrin:

The humour is cutting and very funny, the art is great, and the characters immediately likeable. I'm very tempted to have a banner, I would if my sig wasn't too big already...

Seriously, this could be something quite special.

[Yeril]

Im liking this comic very much, its definitly going on my list of "comics I always check for updates first thing in the morning".

Although I have to say, the thing I enjoy most about this comic is the soft colours, The for lack of a better word, the brown-ness, the un-colourfulness, you do have reds and yellows and greens but they aren't bright, they are all soft and less colourful which I think makes this a very nice effect and improves the overall look of the comic :smallbiggrin: .

[Vespe Ratavo]

I love it. :smallbiggrin:

*adds to favorites*

Ahh, cursed limited sig space. How I wish to put a banner in there. :smallannoyed:

[Zarah]

Alright, so I have a small confession to make. The last thing I wanted to do with this comic was let people down if I was too busy to make an issue. So, I always made sure I was one or two comics ahead of the current release, just so that I'd have a buffer to keep you guys satisfied while I was swamped elsewhere. I uploaded them as well, so that it'd be easy for me to quickly update the thread, and I wondered if anyone would realize that they could read ahead if they just changed the numbers in the issues. :smalltongue:

Turns out, someone did. In fact, I'll assume a few of you probably figured it out. So I decided to let you have the precognition up until issue 10. And since I want to keep everyone on the same page from now on, here are all the uploaded pages that I have right now. Yes, I'm giving you a whopping three pages here, so I hope you enjoy them.

Oh and don't worry, I'll still be making comics ahead of their release. I like having that buffer. The only difference is, I won't be uploading them anymore, so you'll just have to wait for the release if you like to read ahead. :smallwink:

[Amras Seer]

This is awesome, I hope that my comic can be half as good.

[OverWilliam]

lolz Haxxor PWNed. :smalltongue:

So was that a paralyzing touch? Or a hold person? Either way, LOVE the blank piece of paper gag. I may have to use that one in real life some time. :roflol:

EDIT

Whoops... Wrong board, wrong smiley code. :smallannoyed: :smalltongue:

[Mr_Saturn]

He's good vespe. Wait, vespe isn't here, and this isn't my AIM client.

where was I?

Oh yes, you're good Zarah. I like it more than Salmon's. *dodges behind wall* In less than a week, you've already surpassed the comic count of my own. This is a sweet comic that brings out the bad guy in everyone of us. With art closer to the giant's than said fish's, the punchline is at a caliber that rival's even Rich's. By no means a replacement, "Anti-Heroes" is still a terrific compliment to the stick-figure comic that we all know and love.

Hey, do you need a critic?

Mr_Saturn gives "Anti-Heroes" two thumbs up!" :smallbiggrin:

[#Raptor]

Great Comic, Zarah! I'll definitely continue reading. :smallsmile: Good thing you've put that link in your sig, or I wouldn't have noticed. Good idea with that buffer, too.

[Nameless]

This is going really well so far, I can't wait for the next issue! :smallsmile:

The comic is still brilliant, it is definitely my favourite out of all the Arts and Crafts comics. And, because I felt like it, here is an Erfworld style drawing off the main character:

Aw poor whitecloak :smallamused:

[von Traube]

Wow, I must say!

I have looked some of these "fan-made comics" and found them rather boring, but this totally has potential! It is actually fun and even original. That hooded guy felt first little too much of a Xykon, but seems to have its own personality after all which is good.

[Zarah]

I like how Lana's arms goes up through her hair.

It's the little details that make things better.

Besides, I'm a lazy artist, and I couldn't think of a better way to have her arms in the air. I tried having her move the hair out of the way, but that looked weird, so I went with this. :smalltongue:


That hooded guy felt first little too much of a Xykon, but seems to have its own personality after all which is good.

Actually, I agree with you there. I realized after a while that he did seem really similar to our resident Lich, so I'm trying to distance him from Xykon as much as possible without losing the whole evil thing. It's not easy since Xykon forms a pretty good basis for being downright evil, but I have some things planned for Cloak-Guy that should without doubt turn him into his own character.

Let's just say that there's far more than meets the eye with him. :smallwink: But then, you probably already knew that. :smalltongue:

[Keris]

Seeing as all that meets the eye is a cloak, I thought there might be.

[Zarah]

Another day, another issue. And so far, this one has been my favorite, especially to draw. It was kinda nice being able to draw something different for a change. :smalltongue:

Issue 12: The Many Faces of Lana
http://zara.switzerlan.org/images/antiheroes/Issue12.png

[Ichneumon]

Must control urge to play a vampire wizard next dnd session....


That one was awesome.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Kind of like the many faces of undead Roy. but in a positive (Negative?) way :smallsmile:

[Zordrath]

This is definitely one of the better playgrounder comics around here, really good stuff :smallsmile: Issue 8 was totally awesome. :smallamused:

[Yeril]

Wow, this actualy makes me want to hop in on the webcomic craze, I like to think I have the art skills to pull it off but the huge lack of literacy skills and creativity flaws the plan.

That and I tend to put loads of effort into things and get bored and give up easily...

Mehness, awesome comic but I do not approve of this inefficient Multiclassing :smallannoyed:

(Witness my bad grammatisation!)

[Keris]

Must create Vampire Wizard for DnD session... Eh, who am I kidding, my players will never make it out the dungeon alive. Much like our friend the Goblin...

[Metal Head]

Nothing makes me smile quite like goblins getting used as fodder. Makes me think of the good old early days of OOTS.

[Shades of Gray]

I love the prospect of being a wizard. Just by killing a goblin and saying you are.

Lana:Ooh I want to be a wizard.

Guy in the cloak (GITC)Ok, POOF, congratulations! You have your first level of wizard!

Lana:Wait, that easily? Don't wizards need training.

GITC:Of course you have training!

Lana:How?

GITC:Because you are a wizard now. And all Wizards have training.

Lana:... That doesn't make any sense.

[Keris]

I believe the GitC is to be refered to as Rob, from Robe-Guy. Zarah has referered to him as Cloak-Guy, but Clo doesn't suit him as well.

[Bitzeralisis]

That and I tend to put loads of effort into things and get bored and give up easily...

That sounds like me.

[NikkTheTrick]

Why did not Lana become a sorceror? Given her boo... charisma modifiers... she would make a nice one.

[FoE]

Another wizard? The party already has a necromancer in Hood-guy and ... whatever Kaalinor is.

[The_Hunting_Enemy]

Rogue/mages are actually pretty effective. Both classes have to wear minimal armour for various reasons, so it's not like you have to take off craploads of armour and then put it back on all the time like you would as a Fighter/Mage.

[Zarah]

Another wizard? The party already has a necromancer in Hood-guy and ... whatever Kaalinor is.

Yeah, I know there's a kind of an excess of spellcasters right now, but I have a lot of characters planned for the future, so hopefully I can even out the classes a little more after a while.

Besides, there are reasons for all things. :smalltongue:

I require a Skeleton Fighter guy who has black armour and horns on his helmet. Even if he just pops up for like, one panel.

Actually, I don't require anything, but that would be cool.

Edit: I meant this. (http://img223.imageshack.us/my.php?image=skeleton2pj8.png)

[tanis]

Wow.

Awesome.

Cool comic, great art, fun text and maybe even some intriguing story behind all the good jokes!

The Giant is a great master, and he is also spawning new good comic makers!

My personal appreciation, you gained a bookmark! Thumbs up!:smallsmile:

[Illiterate Scribe]

I loved the bard version's eyes. :smallamused:

[kpenguin]

Am I the only one disappointed she didn't go with bard? Vampiric seduction FTW!

[Zarah]

Am I the only one disappointed she didn't go with bard? Vampiric seduction FTW!

You're not the only one. It was fun drawing her like that. Who knows, maybe I can make it reappear later. :smalltongue:

In other news, new issue!

Issue 13: Fashion Statement
http://zara.switzerlan.org/images/antiheroes/Issue13.png

[Sneak]

Well, if she can manage to find some sort of bedroll or blanket, she can go the way of...

...STUPENDOUS MAN!

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Run, goblin-dude! Run! Flee while she's distracted!

I am very reluctant to admit that I have been checking this thread everytime I glance at Arts and Crafts. But I am.

[Szilard]

@Sneak:Oh yeah!, Calvin & Hobbes right?

Cool comic by the way!

[Amras Seer]

Unfortunately underwear-on-head, was not invented yet :smalltongue:

[Solmage]

Keep up the excellent work, love the comic!

[FoE]

Lucky No. 13! Really liked the last one, I never got how someone could "just" become a wizard either. :smallbiggrin:

@V: Vampires and red capes go together like bulls and china shops — smashingly! :smallsmile:

[Lyinginbedmon]

I thought the only dress code was black, not red? :smallconfused:

[Amras Seer]

I can't just be a wizard I need fashion accsesories.

[banjo1985]

Heh...oh look I've just taken a level of Wizard...where did that pouch and spellbook come from? :smalleek:

Very funny, I like the way this is going!

[von Traube]

Wow, these ARE great!

I shall put this in to my bookmarks.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Officially ADDED! This rocks!

[Zarah]

Nice to know that my fanbase is expanding. The more readers, the better! :smallbiggrin:

And also, update:

Issue 14: Headshot
http://zara.switzerlan.org/images/antiheroes/Issue14.png

Yes, I know it takes 24 hours to record a new spell in a wizard's spellbook, but let's pretend that for the first level, it doesn't. :smalltongue:

Also, expect to see more of a plot developing soon. I've got a lot of stuff planned, so it's about time to get them in motion.

[Szilard]

Now I really want to be a wizard.

[Mr_Saturn]

I like it alot, the other thing is that the "confused" eyebrows look sort of weird.

[Darkcomet]

Nice comic, I'll be reading this. Oh, and does Sneak Attack apply to spells? Because she WAS a rogue after all, and a basic Magic Missile 1-shot-killing something just doesn't sound right...

[Solmage]

Nice comic, I'll be reading this. Oh, and does Sneak Attack apply to spells? Because she WAS a rogue after all, and a basic Magic Missile 1-shot-killing something just doesn't sound right...

A lvl 1 plain goblin has 5 hps. A magic missle can do 5 hps damage. The headshot is a way of depicting the best possible magic missile. Had she rolled a 1 for damage, then perhaps the magic missile would have been drawn as hitting the left hand, for example.

Also, magic missile is an extremely poor choice of spell for her, since it does not allow for sneak attack.

Having all that sneak attack damage, and good dex, she needs to go after ranged touch attack spells. (acid splash, ray of frost, etc, and use her lvl 1 spells for say sleep or grease or ray of enfeeb, etc)

[FoE]

But come on, who doesn't love Magic Missle? I've been using it since First Edition!

At least she didn't attack the darkness. :smallbiggrin:

[Lyinginbedmon]

But come on, who doesn't love Magic Missle? I've been using it since First Edition!

At least she didn't attack the darkness. :smallbiggrin:

Well, she's a Vampire, so technically speaking I suppose she's the darkness attacking you :smallbiggrin:

[kpenguin]

I can't see the comic.:smallfrown:

[banjo1985]

Aw poor goblin...the campaign for Greenskin equality will be onto this lot if they carry on like this :smallamused:

[von Traube]

Heh heh, these always makes me chuckle. "Can I go home now?"

[Bayar]

Think that 2 of the dialogue bubbles should be black in panel 5, because Robe guy is talking...or so i think...:smallconfused:

[kpenguin]

Only Lana talks in black bubbles. Robe guy talks in white bubbles.

[Blayze]

Damn, this is quality. Going to add this to my "Check on FireFox startup" list (Which, luckily enough, starts on FireFox startup) when I get home. Keep up the good work, please.

[Morty]

Aw poor goblin...the campaign for Greenskin equality will be onto this lot if they carry on like this :smallamused:

Goblin Defense Fund should be on their backs as we speak.:smallwink:

[DreamSmith]

Heya.
Registered here just so I could tell you I'm loving the comic.
I'm looking foward to seeing your plotline start rolling, and finding more characters along the way.
Good work, sir.

[Bayar]

Only Lana talks in black bubbles. Robe guy talks in white bubbles.

ah, sry, my bad :smallbiggrin:

[Megalomaniac2]

This is the best OOTS-style comic I've seen so far, keep it up! Good writing, original characters, grammar which doesn't suck, artwork that lets me follow what the heck is going on, and jokes that don't fall flat- this is what we need more of.

[Zarah]

I can't see the comic.:smallfrown:

Is it still down for you? Cause everything is fine over here, and obviously everyone else can see it, so if you still can't see it, I'm not sure what'd be causing that... :smallconfused:

Anyway, thanks for the feedback, guys! And yeah, Mr_Saturn I agree with you about the eyebrows. I've been trying to get those things to look right for a long time, but it's a lot harder than it looks. :smallannoyed:

[FoE]

Aw, and here I thought it was another comic. :smallfrown: Time to break out the 'encouragement' whip, I guess.

*Starts whipping Zarah*

[Lyinginbedmon]

Ooh...Plot!! :smallsmile:

[Szilard]

The eyebrows for confused are backwards.

[Solmage]

But come on, who doesn't love Magic Missle? I've been using it since First Edition!

At least she didn't attack the darkness. :smallbiggrin:


Well, she's a Vampire, so technically speaking I suppose she's the darkness attacking you :smallbiggrin:

Heh!!

If that's the case, then this comic could also be called "When the Darkness attacks you" :smalltongue:

Really enjoying this, and I've added it to my 'bookmarks to check with unhealthy regularity' folder.

[Amras Seer]

In (insert random place here) You dont attack the darkness the darkness attacks you.

[Sneak]

The eyebrows for confused are backwards.

True. Also, why is the vial still full of blood after she drinks it? She's wasting a good everlasting vial of blood! :P

Also: Question not, the ways of the arcane. :smallbiggrin:

[Szilard]

True. Also, why is the vial still full of blood after she drinks it? She's wasting a good everlasting vial of blood! :P

Also: Question not, the ways of the arcane. :smallbiggrin:

The blood you see is the logo on the can.

[Zarah]

The eyebrows for confused are backwards.

Aha, so that's what was wrong with them. I couldn't figure it out, and for the life of me, never noticed that before. I'll have to fix that in future issues.


Isn't suposed to be number 15 :smallconfused: ?

Whoops. Yes, it is, thanks for pointing that out. Fixed it now.


True. Also, why is the vial still full of blood after she drinks it? She's wasting a good everlasting vial of blood! :P

Yeah, as Szilard said, it's just the printed logo on the can.

[FoE]

You need to remove the comma after "Question not ..." as well.

Really good, by the way. Looking forward to seeing who the thing under the floor could be.

Made me think of that episode of Angel where Cordelia becomes pregnant with a demon child and gets so hungry that she willingly gulps down Angel's refrigerated pig's blood. Man, that was gross. :smalltongue:

[banjo1985]

This is just flat-out funny, and it's good to see that the plots going to kick in with this silent watcher.

What's it gonna be? If it's a new party member then it'll be some kind of evil bod, maybe an illithid for some fun brain based humour :smallbiggrin:

"Allow me to pick your brain"
"What? No!"
"Alright, it's actually more of a gentle slurping"

[Blayze]

I'm imagining the Illithid pick-up lines now.

"If I've been on your mind for as long as you've been on mine, baby, you must be Feebleminded by now! (Which makes it easier for me to get you into bed)."

...Dammit. Now I'm imagining Edwin as an Illithid.

"To claim that an Illithid could not become a Red Wizard is preposterous. My *peers* were unwilling to make any moves against me, for obvious reasons."

[Zarah]

Issue 16: Dun dun DUNN!!!
http://zara.switzerlan.org/images/antiheroes/Issue16.png

It's no Illithid, but I like the idea of the brain jokes. Might have to use them later. :smalltongue:

[FoE]

Oooooooooh...

Looking forward to the next one!

P.S. Avoid using illithids at all costs. You don't want the spooky wizard that lives by the coast on your case, do you? :smallwink:

[Green-Shirt Q]

HI-FREAKIN'-LARIOUS!

Just as good as Oots and probably better the Erfworld

No offense to anybdy who likes Erfworld.

As long as you're using it in a parody and other such very specific uses explicitly allowed under the fair use provision to the copyright act, you're ok.

Rich was merely making a joke out of it, but he could have actually used them, and indeed did use them in exactly that fashion, if you think about it.

[Zarah]

I did a little bit of reformatting to the main post, and added a title banner. I figured now that I've revealed the tiefling character, I could make a proper banner.

(Also, the character positions on the banner don't mean anything. Kaalinor and Lana aren't fighting, they're just in cool poses. :smalltongue: )

Also... For the Cateror!

[Ichneumon]

I can't see the comics. They won't load....:smallfrown:

[Zarah]

I was afraid of that. :smallannoyed:

I had trouble connecting to my website's FTP trying to upload the banner, so I just used Imageshack. But the comics still loaded for me, so I didn't think they were down. Hopefully this is just a temporary problem, but if it persists, then I may have to transfer the comics to another host.

EDIT: Well, the FTP is working again, and a friend told me he can still see the comics. They still show up for me too. Not sure what the problem is if you still can't see them...

[Zombie pixe]

they loaded fine for me, you jsut have to wai a bit for the website to download them. the trick i think is jsut to o and do something else for 5 mins and then come back to them.

Ghostbusters? I'm too not old to have watched that.

[Lyinginbedmon]

I'm 5-17 years old, and I've heard of it, seen it repeatedly, and many others I'm slightly ashamed to know no-one has even heard of, like 2002 for example. It's a hard thing to make me feel old though, but then I love hoarding info from people :smallbiggrin:

Anyways, off topic conversation, back to the comicry!

Wow. I know I alredy said this, but these are spectacually good comics.

It's like a really funny and slightly disturbing version of Dead Like Me.:smallbiggrin:

Keep up the good work Mon Capitane .

No chance you could make the vampire chick wear someting a little more..... what's the word?......

What class is (Black-robe? ) ? Sorcerer? Wizard? Cleric? Druid? Bard? Archmage? Some over-powered magazine-made bogus class?

Around Halloween many cartoon channels throw in a few episodes of the cartoon, The Real Ghostbusters. The movies are also quite good, and timeless. They're classics, boy. Like John Wayne or The Hobbit.

He was blonde in the cartoon, I believe, but if you ask me, that's not blonde hair. (http://www.ghostbustershq.com/media/storybook/Egon-book.jpg)

Also, that picture is remarkably creepy the longer you stare at it...

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

I'd call it tan. Both the cartoons (The Real Ghostbusters and the ill-fated Extreme Ghostbusters) had a distinctly blonde Egon, though. I only know that the Egon in my nostalgic heart is blonde. And also Slimer is awesome.

Have you seen the damage from most ranged weapons? Anyone with more than 4 Hit Die should be fine after one arrow

[Green-Shirt Q]

I bet it would still hurt though.

sigh:smallsigh: I souldn't have worn my target shirt that day on the archery range .

[Nameless]

Have you seen the damage from most ranged weapons? Anyone with more than 4 Hit Die should be fine after one arrow

Aye, but what about the after effects? Conctently getting hit buy old rusty iron arrows must at some point cause an infection, if the arow has hit a main artery or an organ it could be fatal no matter how many arrows you are hit by. :smalltongue:

Nameless- bitch slapping people with reality since 1992. :smalltongue:

[Lyinginbedmon]

Yes, but I'm a low-level Commoner with poor health. That arrow probably would kill me if not badly wound me, and if it was left in poor conditions I'd probably get a disease as well, like Filth Fever, against which my low Fortitude saving throw would be useless.

Oh wait, that's basically being hit mortally with a rusty dirty arrow isn't it? :smallwink:

:smalleek: I thought they were laughing because the dwarf said "I'll make short work.."

[Shas aia Toriia]

And Zarah, another great comic. And fortunately, you've got a regular update time to, which can often plague good comics.
FoE must have been working overtime.

[Lyinginbedmon]

My regular schedule certainly plagues me, but only because I have trouble sticking to it, which I need to do to actually ensure a steady secure flow.

Certainly liking the last line "Fortunately we're being paid to overlook that" :smallsmile:

[Solmage]

Hehe very nice...there's no real point being at the back of the party when the people in front of you are incorporeal :smallbiggrin:

Yes, I was thinking this exactly. "Hmm, maybe we need some MEAT shields in this party..."

Ohh and seems like the "good guys" (ahem) are getting their badass on. Cool! :smallsmile:

[Zurpl]

Another nice one, Zarah. Though I did kinda feel bad when the Dwarven Cleric showed up looking almost exactly like Durkon. I want new haha's not old haha's. :smallsigh:

[TheWarBlade]

Well we are paid to over look that...perfect!

[Szilard]

Another nice one, Zarah. Though I did kinda feel bad when the Dwarven Cleric showed up looking almost exactly like Durkon. I want new haha's not old haha's. :smallsigh:

That was part of the joke.

Issue 20: She Didn't Break Any Skylights, Though
http://zara.switzerlan.org/images/antiheroes/Issue20.png

[Lyinginbedmon]

That is an instant classic :smallbiggrin:

[Ichneumon]

I'm going to be honest, I didn't quite like this one.

[Solmage]

Well, that's what I call quick service! :smallsmile:

[Yeril]

The "You won Initiative" joke was kinda lame, but I liked the casual

"..... *TOSS!* :D"

[Shas aia Toriia]

Great. :smallbiggrin:

"It's in my hair!"

That was hilarious.

[Green-Shirt Q]

I don't know what was so bad about the last one. I liked it. A lot.:smallbiggrin:

I laughed sooooooo hard!

[Surfing HalfOrc]

That one made me laugh out loud!!! :biggrin:

Rich needs a full on laughing smiley! Big grin doesn't really show how funny I found the bat in the hair gag!

[Rayzin]

I didn't like the initiative part but the bat was still funny!:smallbiggrin:

[TigerHunter]

Best OotS-style comic out there!

Except, you know, OotS...

[Mordeus_Dire]

Very witty, and well drawn! Supurb.

My only complaint is that the goblin from the earlier comics was too tall. Man am I a whinger! :smallsmile:

[Bitzeralisis]

Bat to the hair!

Nicely done. :smallbiggrin:

[von Traube]

Bat in hair! Classy!

[Dallas-Dakota]

Awesome!:smallbiggrin: :smallbiggrin: :smallbiggrin:

[moleytov]

vampires: no bag of tricks required.

[dragonseth]

I thoroughly enjoy this comic. Keep up the good work.:smallsmile:

[Fireball.Man.Guy.]

" Eat your heart out, Batman"

Classic.

[Zarah]

Today's serving, more plot:

Issue 21: The Plot Thickens... Like Pea Soup
http://zara.switzerlan.org/images/antiheroes/Issue21.png

I really wish I could have made that whole explanation seem far less cliché. I guess I'll just have to ask you to bear with me for now as more light is shed on the plot in the future. :smalltongue:

[Lyinginbedmon]

So basically he's a remodeled version of John Constantine? Interesting angle...:smallcool:

[Uncle Festy]

I liked it! The title and the 2nd-to-last panel made up for the exposition. Mostly the 2nd to last panel, but the title was good too.
Oh, and does this mean you're doing daily updates? Sweeeet.

[Clertar]

That was pretty cool :smallsmile:

[Eita]

Face of Evil has been working overtime I see...

[Metal Head]

I think I'll have a villain in my campaign do the "I'm the guy who cleans up after them" line. It's just awesome.

[Mr_Saturn]

So you don't use corn starch to thicken it? I need to check out my local plotmart to check for some peas. :smallbiggrin:

[Ganurath]

This necromancer sounds disturbingly like my Town character Nirako... I'm going to laugh if he turns out to be a lich with a pixie's rapier for a phylactery.

[mikeejimbo]

I'm bookmarking this today!

Alas, the (new) quotation pushed my signature over the height limit, and thus was I forced to remove the banner...
I have failed this comic... :smallfrown:

TigerHunter, you know what this means, don't you? :smallamused:

*Start whipping*

[Zurpl]

Oooo! Plot twist! Right?:smallconfused:

[Solmage]

Perhaps the 4th vacuum formerly known as a wall has been abused a bit too much, but I still thoroughly enjoy the comic. Keep up the good work :smallsmile:

[BRC]

Perhaps the 4th vacuum formerly known as a wall has been abused a bit too much, but I still thoroughly enjoy the comic. Keep up the good work :smallsmile:
Actually, the fourth wall has been kept preety stable so far, Ive yet to encounter any actual breakages. It needs a new coat of paint, or maybe just hang a poster over that smudgy spot, but otherwise it's good.
Remember, being Genre Savvy, witty, and subverting tropes does not a fourth-wall breakage make.

[Zarah]

The only one who can fail this comic is me. For a day may come when the stability of my updates fail.

...But it is not this day.

Issue 22: It Had to Happen Sooner or Later
http://zara.switzerlan.org/images/antiheroes/Issue22.png

[Szilard]

Is that Michal Jackson?

[Zarah]

Yes.

Yes, it is.

[BRC]

Is that Michal Jackson?

No, its Michael Jackson. I don't know who this Michal Jackson is.
