In which we shine a little spotlight on “A Stolen Lunch, Avenged” from this promising, enjoyable, nicely-executed webcomic.
On a distant planet, a prying scribe, an overly sentimental constable, and a mayor resurrect a sleepy town’s long-defunct priest-bot. But “Father Stanley” is not what he seems. Meanwhile, in a nearby region, a scheming wizard accidentally sends a war-god into the body of an angry rooster(!) Story by Simon Roy and Jess Pollard, Art by Simon Roy, Colors by Sergey Nazarov. --with Johnny edits
Okay, that’s the overall webcomic’s self-description, but what this little chapter is specifically about is our scribe (the young woman), her hulking friend, and his dad on a side-quest to rescue a beloved statue’s head, which was sawed off by vandals some time in the past. (hmm, could that have been you, Bartholemew?)
Meh, enough balloon juice, here are the dang-ol’ pages:
Now, I’d say my one and only complaint about this series is that it shifts a bit wildly between different characters & different stories, altho even so, it remains remarkably easy to flow along with IMO. Meanwhile, what the webcomic gets RIGHT to me is the impressive world-building, skilled but homegrown-style art, overall imagination, and intercharacter-dialogue, to mention some mentionables.
Good dialogue is SUCH an underrated thing in comics… 😔
