Ch2 25
Let’s face it. We all knew this was going to happen.
Speaking of precognition, it’s time for another surreal…
Hasera and Lark Review
Unsounded
Lark:
This is a long one. It takes place on a Neutral Plane and followed a little cursed girl with sharp teeth, a tail and an attitude that would win her a one way trip to The Strife if she were to be around me with it. It moves o to explore a well detailed world that, honestly, is pretty hard to explain? They all live in a Goddesses’ womb… It’s pretty weird stuff.
The art is absolutely jaw dropping. There is never a dip in quality and it starts at such a strong point that it’s almost impossible to think that it would improve – and yet, it does. Even the medium used to share the story becomes part of the story throughout the telling. It really is an exceptional piece of work to look at. Too bad there aren’t that many hot chicks. Might’ve got a higher praise if I had some characters to ogle. I bet Hass would love this beyond compare.
The overall package of Unsounded is great. The only real issues I found with it was the beginning and the cast size. Sette is such a pain in the neck to listen to and wonder why Duane didn’t cast some kind of spell to just tie her up or levitate her into doing what he wanted is absolutely beyond me. Probably has to do with his backstory, which would be tragic, if I wasn’t me. The side characters start at a small amount and just branch out into a plethora of characters whose names I have trouble remembering because the reader goes chapters in between showing them… And then it keeps going, like a blasted Elven family tree.
I’d recommend everyone to go to Unsounded as soon as they’re done reading this. It will take a long while to get through, but by Ith’Ir, it is totally worth it. This is one of those you wanna keep reading, even when you run out of pages.
Hasera:
How could I not have known about this comic!? This thing needs to be on everyone’s ‘most watched’ list. The fact that I’m just hearing about this now is just beyond me. The story follows and adorably crass little Cursed girl named Sette and her attack zombie sorcerer named Duane. Throughout the story, more characters are introduced, both villains and heroes as well as anti-heroes, but overall, the cast is very heavy. The only real downside is that there isn’t a lot of shipping potential.
The art is amazing. I’m floored by how absolutely astounding this masterpiece is. Words don’t compare. you really do need to see it for yourself. From the establishing shots, perspective shots and the action in the work is so professional done that it makes me wonder why this isn’t found on shelves across all 9 planes. Seriously. Go look at this.
The whole of this comic is so easy to lose yourself in. The conflict of Duane and Sette. The mystery of Sette’s mission, the mystery of Duane’s past. The only thing that is difficult is trying to make sense of all the side stories that are happening in the background. I could spend hours trying to decipher all of the lore that’s going on between the characters. It’s a little overwhelming, to be honest.
I’d recommend anyone who wants to learn of a new, well fleshed out world take a look at this. If you’re into complicated backstories and intertwined characters arcs, this one should be at the top of your list. If you’re worried about getting lost in a rather complicated story, however, it might be best to take it slowly, as there is a LOT to binge read. Mind you, with the quality of the work, it’s pretty easy to burn through that archive.
Oh I seriously hope she freezes him in his tracks… That would put him on ice…
You’ll find out soon enough =)
That’s cold, Hakira.
We need upvotes. Seriously! Yes, Hakira. YES. It’s like a cold shower… BUT WORSE.
On another note: Hass is going to be so shocked/appalled/flabbergasted/disappointed. I’m stoked to see this.
Ah yes .. that innocent elf … can’t have that, can we ?
He’s rootin’. When he turns around, he’s not even a little excited. Seems the type to get a turn on from smackin’ down the new girl. hmmm.
Like the comic. wish updates were more frequent.
the comic updates Mondays and Thursdays =)
I’m looking forward to this.
I think we all have been ;D
I want a closeup of that last panel! XDDD
XD when you’re about to “deal” with your new guardian, toss an elf for good luck!
I am now going to somehow have to implement that rule into a D&D campaign. Inspired!
Glorious lark face in 4th panel is glorious.
Also speaking of precognition, I love(!) the phrase “short lived life”!
Another comic with excellent art: Small Trolls
Not much story yet though, so maybe you should save it for later…
I’m trying to think what I’d like to see a review of, and I just wish “No Scrying” was still updating.
Maybe “Goblins”? Oh! I know: Runewriters!
I feel like the Lark’s line in this comic should have been slightly different. Perhaps had he replaced the word ‘something’ with ‘someone’…..heh.
Brief comment on the artwork: Excellent use of perspective in the first panel, Hasera’s giant boot brings me much happiness :D.
“Ah crap, another one of those orbs! First, get the fine piece of ass out of the blast radius. Next, look for exits. Can’t use the door, orb is in the way. Window? Yeah, that will work. Second floor jump might make the crazy one not as willing to follow, and I don’t have to worry, I’m a hero! Now time to beat feet.”
“In the middle of something”
now that is just rude, elves are people not things
I hope that bed is just the right amount of soft.
Lark: “Can’t you see I’m in the middle of something?”
Literal, not figurative.

As a person who gets severe second hand embarrassment, even reading this sequence a second time is painful XD
