So I've been mostly enjoying Star Power as a cosmic superhero romp, but now we've gotten to the point where Danica is in the middle of a civil war and I am scared she is going to have to make Hard Choices and don't know if the comic is up for it. (I also feel like it was a storyline at least inspired by a little-remembered Green Lantern arc with Kyle.)

Joe Slowboat posted:Be warned, it has one of the most pointless twists I've ever read. It's a decent high fantasy comic with parody elements but the twist is just utterly unnecessary and nothing is done with it. GA also felt like it just couldn't sit still. Right when you think you might be in for some character development, it just zipped off to the next thing.

Man, reading the forum replies and these people are way more forgiving of an absolutely goofy reason to stop a comic for six+ months than I'd be. It took my Basset Hound about a week and they are essentially smaller mules with more wrinkles.

Oh, agreed. That was the pitch that somebody or other used to get me to try the comic in the first place. I felt misled once I'd tried reading it myself.

Nuns with Guns posted:It's one of those long-running niche things from the cretaceous period of webcomics that seems to continue existing mostly out of habit. It helps that it caters to an audience of older tabletop gaming fans that don't explore around for better comics and love bloated rules on dumb magic items they can torture their players with in their D&D games. I remember the card game turned into a giant cluster. The KS page just currently says 'Goblins: Alternate Realities is the subject of an intellectual property dispute and is currently unavailable.'

It's kind of remarkable how badly the Megatokyo guy squandered so much popularity, to the point where it legitimately shocks me that there are still people who read it in 2018 I wonder if the fans are still super-defensive, like to the 'you should feel LUCKY he considers updating AT ALL!' Ah, what am I saying. Of course some of them still are.

Rotten Red Rod posted:A "trick"? You could read only the ones that have been completed, I guess, but there's really no such thing as a good webcomic that doesn't update slowly... It's kind of the nature of the medium that it takes a while to do. While subjective, I did try and come up with a good quality comic that updated a couple of times a week and couldn't, really. The ones I read now are all once a week or less.

They don't pay up unless they get the service they've put money in for? Shocking.

There hasn't been any kind of concerted effort to make him explain where the money went or even to post an update after a year and a half. Also, he seems to have spent all of it somehow, and is living month to month. Yeah. I mean, at least the first act of the Homestuck game got put out, although it feels increasingly like that's all people will get. (Hiveswap Friendsim aside.)

Joe Slowboat posted:What I mean is that JJ has a history of being kinda conventional and not super analytical about, in this case, cops, but in a more serious case the American forever war. Bubbles was a black ops death machine fighting tanks and helicopters in an ongoing American war overseas and very recently is the first time we've gotten any suggestion that maybe she wasn't fighting the good fight. Shortly after Roko started being depicted as a cop who is also sympathetic, he felt the need to de-cop her. It's part of what I see as the fundamental flaw in his writing, which is a total unwillingness to have long-term conflict that isn't will-they-won't-they. I genuinely think on some level he's scared of his fans ever since that Marigold thing.

Rotten Red Rod posted:What's the Marigold thing? Somebody can probably clarify it better, but essentially Marigold was his 'unattractive geek girl' character and after much cajoling on the part of the cast she wore a bikini. And she looked... fine. I mean, not a model, but fine. To quote Jeff Winger of Community, people went all the way out of their entire drat minds about it because they thought she should look worse? I don't know, webcomic fans are the actual worst. It drove him into depression, among other things. quote:Also, someone explain QC to me, I never saw the appeal. It is just some dude darling his waifus? I think of it as a hipster version of Friends, but a webcomic and also there are characters who are AIs. It's pleasantly bland and filled with attractive people, also like Friends. Dawgstar fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Dec 20, 2018 |
