One of the most illustrative moments in Goblins history was when Thunt, the author, posted about a Goblins wallpaper he'd made. He posted a low-quality version on the Goblins website, while a high-quality version was available if you donated to him on Patreon or something.

This was the image shown to illustrate the difference between the website version and the donor version:




Couldn't say it better myself.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
The sad thing is that I used to enjoy that comic. I thought it was an interesting POV and was curious about the Heavily Armoured dwarf's deal (He was a Paladin who had somehow retained his status instead of becoming a lapsed/fallen paladin despite becoming a murderous psychopath, and I was curious how that worked). However, it's clear that everything he tried to do, the Overlord games did infinitely better, partially because they gave each hero a unique and appropriate way of being corrupted that matched the stereotype as well as linking them to the 7 deadly sins quite nicely (The Hobbit had grown Gluttonous, the Elf had succombed to Sloth, the Dwarf was Greedy and covetous, the Human Knight was Wrathful, the Femme Fatale that joined the main character was representing Lust and the Wizard who caused it all was consumed by his own Pride) as opposed to Thunt's version of "Everyone is just a crazy murderer"

dumb.

It doesn't apply to that page. Or any page of Goblins that I recall. "Trash mob attempts to circumvent their fate by becoming PCs" is a good base for a story. The absurdly contrived death traps that make up old-school D&D is good grist for a setpiece. Thunt is incapable of making that story engaging, or blocking that action sequence. Or maybe he is, and he's just lazy who gives a poo poo gently caress you for making me think about Goblins again

ask me about how voting Donald Trump was worth 400k and counting dead.

OK, gently caress you, you have severely injured me with this thing. Do I read it from right to left? Is there a zoom-out function? Who is getting hit with what? What the gently caress is that thing? What the gently caress is the other thing?

I think its like a road flare he is lighting? After that I have no idea what is going on, or why that axe in the 3rd panel is so tiny.

I have no idea what is happening in any of these terrible comics, whoever draws them is absolutely awful at communicating action visually.
