I edited the title to reflect that the online pages are a preview. The full comic will be coming out in print.

ETA: I was wrong, Scott Allie confirms this is a stand alone. I changed the title back.

Looks like Felicia's writing is going to work very well in the comic medium.

I know AICN call it a preview, but it looks like a stand-alone piece to me, especially as it ends with "The End".

That was cool. The art was great/fitting. The painted-looking, "in-game" shot is beautiful (um, the drawing of Vork makes him look hot, which I'll probably never find myself saying again). Bladezz randomly standing on something he shouldn't be standing on is such a game character thing to do (multiplayer online games or otherwise).

They've had this in the actual show/webisodes before, Zaboo saying his name at the end of something or as a rallying cry/battle call or whatever--do folks in MMORPGs actually do that ? I mean I've seen a bit of out-of-the-ordinary behaviour--I don't play multiplayer online games much, but I was on my dude's PS3 in the common area playing chess and witnessed a lot of gamers soliciting others for sex/cybersex, or at least trying to get some personal stats that seemed to imply they wanted to head to that. But shouting your own name in-game (or real life too) seems pretty obnoxious.

Who thinks, from that one panel of her, Tink either works as a phone sex operator or does some ridiculously mundane service or sales work as a telemarketer ?

I'm pretty sure that's the preview for the DarkHorsePresents Guild comic, which will be up on the October issue.

Scott said that at 3:20 on this video (from the Monday's Guild DragonCon panel).


Also, the first thing I noticed when I first saw this was the Dalek in Zaboo's background. And that made me giggle. I asked Felicia and the drawing artist came up with it. (in case anyone was wondering... like I was...)

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say. In the video Scott Allie states that it's a two page comic. So, it's not a preview, it's the whole thing. Felicia's working on the first full length comic at the moment.

NotaViking | October 03, 14:56 CET

NotaViking, oh yeah! Totally missed the "2-page" line.
So yeah, you're right.

I really enjoyed the Dalek on the bookcase as well! It made me happy.

Delicious. Loved the writing, it totally captured the feel of the show (which I love) and the art is great. And if I understand correctly there is something longer coming up too, right? That's certainly something to look forward to.

Enjoyed the comic a lot. Might have to check it out when it goes live.
