[The Giant]

New comic is up.

Edited to say: Some non-urgent art fixes; the Empress' speech balloon was white instead or red, and the stripe on the General's cloak was coming out the wrong color. Both fixed now.

[Rustic Dude]

Obvious, but very funny.

[Ted The Bug]

YES! And the prophecies of a thousand fans become true!

[Yendor]

YES! And the prophecies of a thousand fans become true!

And the prophecies of another thousand get squashed.

[Deme]

...Well, given that Nale got his alignment, Elan had to have gotten something out of this. I was wondering how this was going to go...

But now we have a name for Elan's dad that isn't Tyrinar.

[Blas_de_Lezo]

Thanks a million Giant!

[Colchek]

Like father, like son.

[Shatteredtower]

That was beautiful.

[Kobold-Bard]

..

That was brilliant, everything from the bounty hunter's reaction to Elan's reaction.

I am totally abandoning a child so I can use that line

Also: does this mean Elan & Nale's mother was C/G but completely in love with herself, and she passed it onto Nale?

[Methuzeld]

Holy kadoodleplop. I was honestly not expecting that.

That was... that was so COOL!

Good work Giant.

[Killer Angel]

"I've always wanted to say that line".
PRICELESS!

[hamishspence]

And (if he's not lying) it looks like Elan may have inherited his love of tropes from his dad.

[Kobold-Bard]

...

But now we have a name for Elan's dad that isn't Tyrinar.

Tarquin Tyranitar perhaps?

[Baron Pineapple]

Too cool! Now we know where Elan and Nale got their sense of dramatics! It's in the blood!

I must agree though, Tarquin does have pretty cool armor. Good reveal Giant! Thanks!

[SlyGuyMcFly]

Totally awesome.

[Monzach]

Am I the only one who laughed out loud at the most inappropriate first name of an evil character, ever?

On the other hand...there was a certain Grand Moff Tarquin in that one movie whose name escapes me at the moment, something about wars in the stars.

[BobVosh]

What a great family.

[Silakka]

Wow! Kinda saw that coming but still, perfect delivery!

[JoseB]

YAY! XD

Who could imagine that Elan's father could be a ruthless general AND have a streak of Elan-ness as well? XD

[lord_khaine]

It was quite obvious, but still very funny delivery.

[MReav]

Well, that was worth it.

Heh, General Tarquin. You so funny.

And probably murderous. I wouldn't be surprised.

[paddyfool]

Awesomesauce.

[Caliphbubba]

I actually really literally laughed out loud at this one :-)

great job Giant!

[Shademan]

I am shocked and entertained!
well done!
mh, but he is evil, right? I see how this can lead to conflict...

[AlterForm]

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!

Awesome.

[Penquin47]

Not ready to write off his name being Tyrinar.

1. Last name hypothesis as already speculated.
2. He lied to the nice conquering empress when he lost Tyrinaria.
3. The Empress has no idea what his name is and just called him something beginning with T.

[Optimystik]

He's definitely not Good, at least...

Wacky antics aside, I don't think anyone's out of the woods yet.

[Xadhoom]

Oh man, that was great.

I was 95% sure it was Elan's daddy, of course, but that was REALLY not the personality I had expected from him. But, really, it's perfect. (And much more interesting than the serious Big Bad I was expecting him to be.)

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Woot! The "Upgraded Armor" had me wondering for a while, but in the end, there could be only one!

Wait, what? Never mind then...

[binyamin20]

Uha. This gives me another Star Wars association. Firstly, Boba Fett. Now Jabba the Hutt...

And now Darth Vader! its a total match!
