That silver is starting to get a bit close to Sette there.

Starfish has been a lot grosser than Murk but the thing is that Starfish is probably going to die.

Dr. Killjoy posted:What with the reveal that Sette is basically an eternal child, now I kinda know what it must feel like for those goons in ADTRW who get made fun of for liking terrible anime. Also count me in on the "gently caress Starfish" troop. Like jeeze, let's admit that the guy is worse to see on panel than Murkoph by this point.

Starfish at least has the decency to be pathetic. I can see I'm supposed to hate him on all levels, and the only question is whether it's Dwayne or the silver that'll eat him alive in the end. Murkoph is pretty much an already dead 'fish with wacky powers, but he's going to die smug and grinning fetchingly.

Starfish is supposed to be just the shittiest guy. All the political drama and backstabbing is morally anchored around everyone hating Starfish and looking down on him, even if they work for/with him. Murkoph, by replacing Starfish, effectively drops the ethical bottom out for the story. Everything's escalated: the conspiracies are grander, the players are more powerful, and they found someone worse than Starfish.

I like that a mask which is supposed to be imposing agony and torture beyond measure upon Duane, basically just has him doing his job back in shartshane.

You forget, this comic is written by Ashley Cope. The untold agony and suffering will be on the next page, duh. Probably something horrible happening to his little girl, that seems like an easy one.

Also Duane doing his old job as a scribe as his nightmare along with his interactions with others was pretty funny, especially considering how dark and horrible things have been in the story lately (but done well, I'm not complaining, it's Unsounded, it comes with the territory).

Whether or not he can react to Toby in time is up in the air though. ...wonder if Cutter just opened a way into the khert there. Given there's a hungry not-restrained by a mask zombie wandering around the other side, we may be in for a lovely ironic death scene.

Goddamn this comic knows how to gently caress with people's safe places. These last two panels are loving sadistic.

Eh, I don't think anyone wants to be on record here as really into this comic. Especially if Fabricated ever sees Murkof in the comic again. This comic is good enough at unsettling and creepy villains that it hits too close to being creepy and unsettling.

The month long breaks between chapters, while understandable, don't seem to help maintain discussion.

I dig the comic a lot but sometimes it moves at such a slow pace I forget the meaning of a lot of stuff.

I'm actually planning on rereading the whole thing before sperging in the thread. Unsounded strikes me as something that's better appreciated as a whole rather than as an episodic fix It is The Wire of webcomics!

I don't read it anymore because I find it super hard to keep track of what's going on at this pace. Some day I'm just gonna read the whole thing at once and I'm sure I'll enjoy it thoroughly.

I just got done catching up. (I tried to read the first chapter once, years ago, wasn't hooked, then tried again just a few days ago and finally made it to the current page). This comic is fantastic for reading in one sitting, but I can't imagine being a serial reader. I think I'll just stop checking the comic for a few months, and then read it all from the beginning again- I just know I'll forget important plot details otherwise.

I don't read the ancillary stuff so outside of this thread I don't know anything about how Murkof is really the creator's weeabo rape otherkin or whatever. The characters are fantastic, the setting is interesting, and it's perpetually changing and playing with your emotions. It's really fun - it can go from touching to super creepy to suspenseful to joyful really quickly. I agree that it is not generally great as a page-a-day, however, and I tend to read it in batches of 3-5 pages.

This would be better off released in chapters. Ava's Demon is another webcomic that suffers from the same kind of pacing and delays.

Unsounded is one of my favorites. I've even come to terms with Murkoph after watching how the author handles him. And being a serial reader isn't even that hard, really, or at least I've never had a lot of difficulty with it. The comic updates three times a week, pretty solidly; if it's fewer times, it's because we got multiple updates on one day. The only fly in the ointment is the between-chapter breaks, and we've got about a hundred pages before another one of those comes up (according to her estimate of the page count for this chapter on Tumblr). I mean, we're only in chapter ten, so there's been a maximum of nine of those breaks so far across the entire comic. I do know that Ashley gets frustrated about it updating the way it does, but she has (very well-founded) fears that if she closed up shop for a few months and released an entire chapter all at once she'd lose most of her readers, and she kind of needs us to give her money so she can keep eating, so.

I think it's more mixed than that. Pretty sure that everything that happened with Lemuel was straight-up memory (with a dollop of crazy, because he was actually crazy at the time). The stuff with Leysa was obviously not genuine memory but more like an exposition of his feelings (i.e. guilt).

I could see it going either way, but I'm assuming Duane's live self appearing and chastising him is a construct of the current dream sequence (he appears earlier) and not an apparition of his madness. It's also unclear when Lemuel tells him "come back to the shop" if he's referring to the dream-stage of Duane's scrivener shop in Sharteshane or if he was describing whatever random hideout he was using for Duane at that actual point in time (Lemuel was a soldier and Duane was a priest, so neither of them had any obvious access to a shop for hiding attack zombies in.) Duane did imply he had attacked Lemuel before leaving Alderode, though.
