So, what is everyone reading while they wait for Broodhollow book 3 to start? I've been following it regularly since somewhere in the middle of book 1, and now I'm just twiddling my thumbs. Anyone have a good webcomic recommendation?

As far as horror goes, you need to check out Emily Carroll's stuff if you haven't already.

For webcomics in general, well we have a thread for that. There's almost too many to narrow it down to just one or two recommendations, but at least you can click around with the knowledge that everything linked is pretty drat good.

Personally I've had a great time with Bad Machinery, and I'll be starting Gunnerkrigg Court soon since everyone is always gushing about it.

Read It Hurts! http://gobolatula.com/ithurts/?comic=chapter-1-pasqualo-falls-in-love It's about a young boy falling in love, doing some growing up and getting into wacky hijinks with his friends. It's definitely not filled with subtle signs pointing to a greater horror that lurks on the edge of your consciousness. Art improves quite a bit.

I don't actually know anything about that comic other than seeing some shoddy-looking ads, so I'm not really sure how to react to this.

Kickstarter for book 2 is up

ThaumPenguin
Oct 9, 2013


So book 2 is done, when will the webcomic be updated? I assume it's at least after the kickstarter is over and probably some time after the pdfs and books have been sent out.

EDIT: I'm retarded, book two has been out for ages. It's book three we're waiting for.

Kinda forgot the structure of this comic, guess it's been too long since I read it. :(

"Book 3 has a title and it will begin around the start of next year."

Given that this was posted a couple of days ago, are we seriously going to be waiting until 2016?

No, that was posted when the last book ended, back in like November. We were all hoping for a January continuation of the story, but well, you see what's going on. I don't know why the posted date changed to what it did.

The penny-arcade guys have him in their basement and they're extracting his creative juices in order to continue their webcomic. Which is why it's mutated into a grotesque abomination.

Someone will eventually unearth a locked thread from three months ago documenting our horrified reactions to the opening of Book 3 and our confusion and barely disguised relief when Kris abruptly removed it from the site without a word of explanation.
