Comic #525: Close Encounter

It’s not often that June goes off like that. And it’s not often that it ends in such a spectacular fashion.

It’s interesting how little details can make or break a comic. The original version of this strip didn’t have the shaking ground in the last panels, or the rising ‘HOOM’ behind the text. I really wasn’t feeling it until I added those in. Just goes to show: sometimes less is more, and sometimes more is more.

    1. Yes, I am reading through Trials and Meya seems like she is the Aley of the group. She just revives people as soon as they get hurt and can shoot deadly magic things of death.
      Also J.O.N.A.S. is probably driving the pyramid. Just a theory.

  1. WOOOT WOOOT another late night comic! I wouldn’t have found this for a few hours yet if not for the Facebook page. This is hilarious. And did Cyril’s voice expose the pyramid?

  2. Boost(Fire Terra-Wing)

    Woah…i hope no one gets crushed! and wow! i can throw fire balls, light myself on fire and stuff like that…but i still cant just light stuff on fire with a glare! June! Teach me your ways!

  3. You can just slowly see the sanity leave Abdul’s eyes as the nonsense that is Maxx’s adventure unfolds before him…

    Also, Jesse? Is Abdul a Djinn? I know I’ve already asked this, but I’m genuinely confused.

  4. After i’ve reread all of the comics (since i’ve been aware that the comic is back) i’ve had a burning question i was wondering if you would answer. Why did the party go for the muramasa next, instead of the gossamer (fairy) sword. I know from a writers perspective, it would be more entertaining, and better story to go for the muramasa first, but is there a canon reason the characters chose to go for the muramasa ?

    1. canonically, the muramasa is supposed to be next after the blade of grass. since the gossamer blade is fanmade, then i’ll suppose we’ll just have to wait until things are explained.

  5. wait since youre making the comic again does this mean the patreon is going to be back up

  6. Wait why did my comment lose verification There should be someone in the pyramid that reveals that there are loads more things to do and that getting the night’s edge Won’t bring back the hallow and let slip that Cyril has to die to summon a giant wall of flesh in hell. Jesse keep doing what you do, you’re comics are awesome!

  7. Normally I would disable Adblock, but after you abandoned this for a year and a half I took you off the whitelist. Then I put you back on it when you brought it back, then you abandoned it again to add insult to injury. So f*** you I’m keeping my Adblock on.
