Yeah, the fact that she's been going on like this for years now without someone seriously settling her poo poo for being so awful makes me think Danielle doesn't realize how repulsive her main character is.

On the contrary, I'm pretty sure Hazel is all the parts of the artist that she doesn't much like about herself. The other characters in the comic chide her pretty consistently for basically being a child in adult form, and not in a good way. Her main role as the protagonist is to continually learn lessons and try to gently caress up less the following time.

Yeah, most GWS arcs that involve Hazel end with her getting comeuppance for being a bitter alcoholic child.

I should point out that I haven't read the comic in question, just those linked pages. But on their own, they really don't paint a good picture of either the character or the author. It's presented in a way that seems like it's being really sincere.

How much of K6BD is there at this point? I tried reading it when it was just starting and was all like "if I try to keep up with this as it updates I'll start hating it for being so slow and that would be terrible because it's too good". If there's a couple solid chapters I might have another go.

I did the same thing, and there is now enough comic that it's taking me a while to get caught up. It helps that every page demands & rewards being slowly savored.

Meanwhile, in Kiwi Blitz, our heroine and her boyfriend have aged several years since the end of the last chapter. ...not really that surprising, I guess.

Have they, or is it more an issue of art style change, with the new artist feeling freer to diverge from Mary Cagle's style on a new chapter? The dialogue doesn't seem like it's taking place long after the events in the previous chapter...

So it's time for my quarterly post in this forums morass: I finally picked up the energy to marathon through Stand Still, Stay Silent. Absolutely delightful, a fantastic read with fantastic art. The real strength is how natural and clever the dialog is, the conversations really bring every character to life. It's hard to tell when a character is just an incidental one-scene wonder or when a real main character is being introduced, and the slow burn opening sequence that introduced basically an entire cast of characters only to time skip to an era where they are all almost certainly dead also helps to make it hard to determine who the plot is actually about. The real main cast is incredibly charming and I'm always a sucker for a "band of rag-tag misfits on a wild adventure" stories. I thought the world was pretty interesting, fresh to see a post-apocalyptic story told from a Scandawegian point of view. I'd love to pick up the book for this once it's actually available for purchase. Now that the story has finally revealed the nature of the trolls, I wonder, perhaps reaching a bit... if the story will at all reconnect to the characters seen in the prologue by having some of them appear as trolls in some fashion. It seems like a long shot, but I feel kind of annoyed that pretty much everybody introduced at the start is just abruptly out of the story. I really wanna know what happened to that guy and his grandmother! D...did they do alright!? Also, while I was initially disappointed that the mysterious illness is yet another "virus that turns people into monsters" disease, I have to admit the design of the trolls is kind of cool. I wonder if the existence of magic is also a side-effect from the disease, perhaps a latent strain that enables unusual abilities, or if it's just...well...magic I guess. Either way, this is easily one of the best comics I've read in a long time. It's stuff like this that reminds me why I love webcomics so much--it's fresh, vibrant, and explores old concepts in new and interesting ways. Plus it's funny! Funny always helps. Also nthing any and all love for Mary Cagle and her Let's Speak English comics, that's some dope biz, and she seems like a nice person on twitter who doesn't get involved in stupid twitter drama.

Hey nerds thanks for reading my comic (kill six billion demons) and filling like two pages with discussion of it. I try not to drop in too much on the thread but I'm pretty pumped about Wednesday's page so I will post this spoilery thing here for you guys to speculate on http://i.imgur.com/cDZKpyI.jpg

 This changes a lot of thingsIf the conquering king has been killed, than the throne is empty and the power balance is already out of wack. This could mean that other powerful lords haven't noticed yet which would it explains why things haven't fallen into complete chaos yet, but if they have noticed than they are already making their moves behind the curtains in preparation for all out multi-planar war. At first I thought that it was just the key in Allison's head that was going to be a catalyst but now...

Was it mentioned that the conquering king remained over the other demiurges? I thought that after the war he settled into the power balance with them. edit: Reread the part where 82 exposits about the war. The conquering king became known as the ruling king once the original demiurges came to throne, and then the war happens and only 7 of them remain. So did the ruling king have his own portals for himself or did he take one from one of the demiurges. It's strange that in a war that spanned the multiverse that Allison's earth was spared war. Maybe her world is the one where the RK came from and he kept that portal hidden from the others? Brought To You By fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Dec 1, 2014 |

As I understand it, the Ruling King lost his power in the war of the demiurges. He was hunted by the Seven and their followers; that hunt ending when he died and passed on the key. Her boyfriend was the assumed inheritor for whatever reason.

In any case, not everywhere was conquered, although it seems like everywhere was linked. I don't believe there's any reference in the comic (up until now) about the conquering king after the comparatively peaceful demiurge society, is there? I got the impression at one point that it's one key per universe; Cio called it 'a key to an entire universe'. I suppose maybe Allison has (our) Earth? If the Ruling King had been hoarding one last key that'd explain how we escaped any knowledge of Throne. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Dec 1, 2014 |

In any case, not everywhere was conquered, although it seems like everywhere was linked. 82's confusion is one of the reasons I've questioned the nature of Allison's world. I didn't catch the line about the conquest of universes being unfinished so that does explain why Allison doesn't know what is going on since her world was probably one of many that didn't notice anything. You're absolutely right that we don't know if everyone was aware of the war at large but as 82 stated, "worlds burned" which gives the impression that the war was very widespread and devastating. So I guess my question shifts from why she doesn't know anything and to "Why would anyone take that particular key from one of the demiurges?" and "Is that key even the one that links Allison's universe to throne? If not, what world does it link too". Since it seems like the Conquering King is the thief it no longer has to be the case that the key in Allison's head connects to her world since he is one of few who were able to traverse universes of their own will. It's possible that he was being chased across the planes when he was caught in Allison's universe and chose to deposit and hide the key rather than risk it being taken back.

After all, each demiurge rules over 111,111 universes but they only have one key each.
