I'm having a hard time loading Rich's site, so the new comic must be up...

Will post link when able.

EDIT:

Here 'tis.

There was much rejoicing.

 

[Hypersmurf]

Good. I like that.

Especially the zoom out in the second-to-last panel

-Hyp.

...well, crap.

I never expected to feel sorry for Miko.

That's something I didn't expect. Forgiveness but not atonement?

 

[joshhg]

Huh, that's wierd. I got on and read it with no problem. But when I go back to get the link, I can't get on.


Anyways, without spoilers: BOO! Bad ending Rich, bad ending. You could have done so much more. But I'll give you this. I didn't see it coming.

 

[Ferrum]

sadly, she can still be raised, either to life, or unlife. It seems too early for this to be the last of Miko.

 

[Tiberius]

I dunno. That looks like the end of the line for her. Her story seems played out. The fans wouldn't accept either the path of blackguard or redemption, I don't think.

Wow. I wasn't expecting that storyline to end like that, but then again Rich often manages to surprise all of us.

The thing about this comic is that it shows how Rich is progressing as a storyteller. It also shows the best example of a lawful good view of ethics that I've seen in a long time. Soon is not lawful stupid at all. I think I'll miss Miko.

Bravo!

One wonders if since we've seen the end of Miko, (and I agree with Tiberius that she's run her race) if perhaps we've seen the end of Roy as well. Certainly it would put the mortality of his characters into very sharp perspective.

 

[Turjan]

That was a touching scene.

I wonder where she will go.
