The Blood Moon Part 1

By /

Halloween comic time! This year, I decided to do something a little more ambitious than the usual group-photo-next-to-a-giant-pumpkin shindig. I hope you enjoy!

As you can see, the tale clearly isn’t over, which means there will be at least one more part to the Blood Moon saga. Where will the story end up? That’s for our characters to decide! (read: nowhere good)

Each year, I look forward to dressing up my characters way more than I really should. As for the costumes, the full cast hasn’t been revealed yet, but let the guessing begin! I think I went easy on you guys this year in terms of costume choices, so really, this is mostly a test to see how well I represented each character.

-Jesse

PS: The costumes have been guessed! Props to TheConfuZzledDude, the first commenter, who immediately guessed three of the four costumes correctly– and to all the rest of you who nailed your guesses! Maxx is the Kid from Bastion, Hannah is Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time, June is Lana Kane (NOT Lara Croft, though I can understand the confusion) from Archer, and finally, Cyril is indeed Brief from Panty + Stocking with Garterbelt. Nice work, everyone!

PPS: Don’t look up Archer or PSG if you’re underage. Especially PSG. I can’t be held responsible for what will happen if you do.

    June’s having way too much fun.

    So is part two going to be next halloween? Nooo!!! Saith it is not so…eth.

    This is too cool. I don’t get any of the consumes, though. I guess that’s because I’m not a video game freak?

    Maxx is the kid from Bastion, Hannah is Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time, and June is Lara Croft. No idea who Cyril is, though.

    Hey Jesse my Terraria Character Endama who is an Enderman (yes from minecraft) with the best Terraria gear beetle shell one set frost spark boots, Fisheron wings, charm of myths, ankh shield and moon shell but vanity armor is titanium helm, Spectre chest piece, and titanium leggings all is in flame dye except for the ankh shield in blue flame dye and the Fisheron on wings are a deep black and 3996 platinum, the Terra-blade, soft-core, mega-shark loaded with venom bullets, Ichor bullets and cursed bullets, scourge of the corrupter, bat sector, razor blade typhoon, optic staff, the axe, the pick-saw, a wisp, ivy whip, golden fishing rod and a gold pixel over his heart and speaks backward word but the order is still correct

      (I’m replying to say the rest because of size issues) So a dust cloud builds in mid air and then he jumps out of it and then breaks the window (fully) and grabs June by the neck chocking her. Then he starts saying (translated) “Liessa why Liessa my my my Grraaaaaaa” then June sees the gold pixel grabs then it pules it out and drops it as her neck snaps not dead he drops her and starts crying wile stabbing him self 10 times with his Terra-blade in his chest (translated) “That’s not… is… not Liessa why why why This curse is evil re-spawning just losing a bit of gold i don’t care that my tears hurt me more than my blade” then June wakes up and throws purification powder on him then he snaps out of it and jumps off the jet.

        Sadly, this isn’t a comic character. Plus the Terra Blade has not been made yet in the world of Maxx.

    Hannah is PB from Adventure time, but I want to know how did she get her face pink. also scrolling trough it I could tell if it was Hannah was June. is it just me or does anyone else recognizing the costume but not who`s in what costume?

    TEC-9s! “Haha, all right, all right, I’m sorry. It’s not like this story can get any worse, anyway.”

  24. ...

    Jesse: Guess our cast’s costumes! That aren’t here yet!
    I’ve a hankerin’ to spankerin’ some beast.
    In other words, I am at a lost at words. There are no words.

    Good one, Jesse xD Well, I see Kid (so glad to see someone else who likes him <3), Princess Bubblegum and (maybe) Lara Croft, no clue about Guidey, though. Man, I can't wait to see Aley @_@

      5. bmrjw

        I’m not a jerk, I just can’t stand bad grammar/spelling.

        By the way, *beginning and *you’re
        Correct spelling and grammar is key in life.

    Went to vote for LOM in Top Web Comics and it was nice to see it ranked under 200 for a change. Everybody vote so it stays up there this month. Jesse works hard on this comic so lets show our appreciation!

    1. Knighto

      Don’t watch Bobobo you’ll die of laughter I’m DEAD SERIOUS because it’s ridiculously funny.

    1. Pythor728

      It’s probably going to be Aley, knowing since Aley isn’t really humanoid like and anything that isn’t human like is usually considered a monster on first appearance.

  42. Cyril the Guide

    *Sigh* I can’t believe Jesse put me in that thing. Ah well, Hannah was not looking forward to her role either. And then there is June, all guns blazing.

    1. Dead Twister Meat

      I’m pretty sure she’s happy with her role to murder things…. Oh wait, we’re dead, aren’t we?

  45. Bystander # 78904658

    lets see here….comes out on blood moons……has a rather interesting taste for human blood….scary……It’s a corrupt bunny isn’t it?

    Could use some proofreading. Hannah’s exposition contains the sentence “We’ve been terrorized by the monsters us for years now”, which look like you started writing “the monsters terrorized us”, switched to passive mode, and forgot to remove “us”. Then there’s also Maxx claiming to be a paranormal instigator, instead of an investigator, but that might just be Maxx being Maxx. (Of course, it’s easier to investigate the paranormal if you investigate the paranormal that you instigate yourself, but that’s cheating, Maxx. Don’t cheat.)

    1. Jesse

      Maxx’s ‘paranormal instigator’ was on purpose, you were the first one to spot it! Hannah’s text is a flub, though, I’ll fix that. Thanks!

      4. The guy with the Minishark

        If you’re going to add the Naiads into the next comic, Xane should be the Scout from Team Fortress 2.

      7. Silly guy Joey.

        That or that silly guy next door who always wears an umbrella hat with sprinkles on it at night and goes to a karaoke clubs and owns everyone and them falls flat unconcious on the floor after winning and wakes up instantly, only to rub it in in everyone’s face and goes home at the crack of dawn and eats after playing two minutes of dress up. And then, he runs a marathon, seemingly losing at first, then beats almost all by a long shot. Later, he… Wait.

        The dude’s a nice guy, so Xane doesn’t deserve that role.

      8. Sillysillysillysillysillysillysillysilly

        So… Maxx is a paranormal instigator? He’s a mastermind of silly?

    Not gonna lie, was a bit disappointed with this year’s costumes.
    I EXPECTED BETTER FROM YOU, JESSE!
    I also would of preferred another single large panel one comic Halloween thing and getting back to the normal comic, but whatever you wanna do.

    “PPS: Don’t look up Archer or PSG if you’re underage. Especially PSG. I can’t be held responsible for what will happen if you do.”

    wtf is…?

    1. Chris

      PSG stands for ‘Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt’.

      Probably one of best anime I have ever watched. It’s nuts, and feels like some deranged Saturday morning cartoon.
      It is about these angel sisters named Panty Anarchy, a temperamental jerk, and Stocking Anarchy, a less temperamental jerk, who defend Daten City.

      They’re led by the priest Garter, who may or may not be a pedophile, who sends them on missions assigned by God. Helping them are an indestructible dog thing named Chuck, a possibly sentient car named See Through, and some geek that keeps following them around.

      It’s really strange, and seems to make fun of all the sex in anime by making it as ridiculous as possible.
      Every episode is unique, and chock full of random references to western culture. They’ve referenced Blues Brothers, Ren and Stimpy, Watchmen, From Dusk Til Dawn, and whole lot more. And every episode title is a pun on a movie title.

      Cat Fight Club.
      Pulp Addiction…

    Yeah, no-one really gives a fuck about who used photo-recognition software to look up who the characters are dressed as. It doesn’t mean they’re smart or anything, so don’t even try to fool yourself. No human-being is better the another. You would do best to not treat it as such.
