Hey there and hello from your friendly, hulkitudinous windiebird once again! I’ve been on hiatus, do not judge.

Anywho I thought I’d come back with something we haven’t covered here yet! Webcomics!

The particular webcomic I felt the need to share with you today, The Order of the Stick, is pure genius. There are a veritable menagerie of really innovative web-based comic series out there but none stand higher (in my opinion) than Rich Burlew’s homage to the D&D set.

Non-RPGers will find themselves laughing right along with the rest of us because Mr. Burlew is a modern, undiscovered god of dialogue. Seriously, give the man a TV series and we’d have the next Buffy on our hands.

His characters are diverse, unique, intelligently crafted & perfectly executed. Not to mention stretched to their breaking point (you just make your own joke, mama’s tired) time and time again with his brilliant story arcs. Set in a typical D&D campaign, these brave adventurers set out for loot & conquest! Just like any great story, they find that and so much more. Love, pain, betrayal, redemption…I could go on but I think you’re feeling the enthusiasm.

You might need a D&D nerd to help you with a few of the in-jokes but trust in the fact that you’ll be yearning for the very next installment after every page.

Which is refreshing when you take a look at the arguably low-quality works that increasingly flood the mass-market.

Remember to always keep an eye out for independent comics and comic mediums. Evolution is necessary to life just as much as it’s necessary to art!
