HERE IT IS! There’s the cover page in full panel view!
Now I need to know… how do you all think this is going to end?
Speaking of wondering how things are going to end… It’s time for a requested review for another great webcomic, that also has just recently turned six years old! Give them a drop in and congratulate them on six years of updates!
This week, Lark and Hasera review:
The Monster under the bed [NSFW]
Lark:
Alright. It’s been a while, so excuse me if I’m a little rusty. Today we’re looking at a comic called “Monster Under The Bed”. It follows the story of this kid named Tim and the Abyssal that lives under his bed and how they became a couple when they’re older.
It does kind of give away the ending of the main story, but I’m sure there are some twists and turns coming that I won’t be expecting. The Abyssals are quite good to look at, most seem to be your general, run-of-the-mill type of Abyssals. Shadow, the titular ‘monster under the bed’ does have horns and a heart shaped tail, but no wings, so she wouldn’t be a Succubus. Very close, maybe in this world the Succubi don’t have wings? How would you tell them apart from normal Abyssals? Ah well. Some worlds are weird that way. Still, if it meant not dying when you slept with them, maybe I should give that world a visit one of these days. Considering how most of their men look like they couldn’t bench press an empty keg, I think I’d have a good shot.
I spent too long on that. Anyhow. The art style is great. It has both an interesting look and a very good depiction of anatomy. The scenes where the Abyssals are less clothed are quite something to see and I can see why this comic has so many viewers. The story is solid, so far. Some of the twists to the story are well telegraphed, but it leaves me to wonder if this was the intent or if I’ve just had too many adventures.
I’d recommend you take a look at this story if you like a romantic comedy with a bit of a twist. There isn’t that big of an archive right now, so it’s a pretty easy read to get through and be caught up. As well, if you’re looking for some scantily clad, sometimes not clad Abyssals, it would certainly be worth your time.
Hasera:
While I’m sure my counter-part was more than happy to talk about the amount of gratuitous, articulate pictures there are of a female form, I will remain a more critical reviewer and talk more about the relationships between the characters, the story, the writing and all of the in-between. Unlike someone who will not be named and probably salivated all over the screen due to the well drawn and salacious content, I have my head on straight.
The story follows a young neutral named Tim and recounts his past with his now Abyssal lover, Shadow. The way they meet is cute and I’m sure there are going to be many more plot twists relationship forks and a plethora of other difficulties that are going to give us the readers butterflies in our stomachs.
Intrigue is mixed with drama as intertwined relationships, partners, love and sex are all thrown in tastefully, unlike those old, terrible Chronicles of Lark that are complete trash. The relationship between Tim and Shadow is quite believable and wonderfully highlighted against the other relationships happening on stage. Even the villains and villainesses have their time in the… er… spotlight with their little trysts of lust.
Sorry. Sorry. I said I’d not focus on the adult content, even if it’s really well handled in the comic. I… uh… I think I’ll just wrap it up here. The comic is good. The relationships are good and the adult content isn’t always there just to have it – there’s always a story-related, good reason to see what is being shown off. And boy, do they show off a lot – Sorry. Almost went down that hole again. Right. Sorry. Go read it, I need to go now.
has is probably going to freak out and club him in the nuts with an ice mace….
I’m looking forward to it! š
I think I’ll be sticking with how I called it a little while back: with his balls exploding as he was promised but delivered on by Hasera.
with a second helping by his wife, and maybe thirds by Jr.
Some one get my clubs for me please, I’m about to tee off on a tea bag.
Pain. It is going to end in pain, tears, and lots of screaming your typical family gathering at the holidays.
[meta] Thank you for the review of another of my favorite comics. Larfed me bum orf, I did!
Ice ice baby!
I’m sure this will go well. What could possibly go wrong?
Do you want that list alphabetically or chronologically?
Inappropriate sexual advances? a review of a semi erotic comic? Is it Takei hunting season already?
Oh my!
Oh my gosh! I LOVED the review!! I actually like that comic, so it’s even better! I do so enjoy these little asides. *heart eyes* Also: lets all take a moment to mourn Magnus’ manhood, for he is doubtless soon to lose it. Violently. And with relish.
I vote that it will probably end in trauma.
I imagine that she’s about to give Magnus the cold shoulder, as it were.
Is anyone surprised?
Well, anyone besides Hasera…
Bring on the Elemental Demiplane of Overly Enthusiastic Dentists!
exploding balls any second now.
Just read the whole comic. I think the setup exaggerates how bad The Lark actually is, he honestly seems like a decent bloke. Yeah, he’s not a gallant charmer like in the romance novels she reads, and can be kinda blunt, but besides that? I was kind expecting him to be more like Magnus, some sort of musclehead buffoon with more self-infatuation than actual competence. It feels like the tidbit about virginity boosting one’s magical abilities will be the real factor stopping Hass from completely falling for her hero in the end.
To be expected, if you go into the Archives and read the NSFW versions of some of the early pages it gives a clearer picture of where the creators wanted to go with Lark before circumstances pushed them into a less explicit narrative. They also make it blatantly obvious that had Lark played his cards a bit more carefully, Hass would have used him for that little suggestion he gave her early on.
Sorry, Gallery not Archives, my bad.
Lark’s biggest problem is the collateral damage when he does his heroism. Every job he goes on ends with an almost cataclysmic bill for those involved.
I’m waiting to see if Jeff’s still close enough to the door to hear the AAAAAAAAAA emanating from Hass’ room.
