So, favorite part of Book 6? I like the way Durkon defeated the vampire. ---

I liked Wrecan. He may have been just a tribute to a deceased GitP forumite, but he was a genuinely good character I’d like to see more of. ---

_nom_ Already got the book! Got it last Friday, actually. Very strange to have the last comic and then get the book so quickly. He must have finished it a while ago and then put them up on some schedule? It’s strange to see how much this covers. I barely remember much of it! That’s what makes it so fun to read. The intro has a good explanation of his new art style and why he did it. That’s about as far as I am into it. Now, the wait until Feb. ---

But does the intro explain why Xykon’s new skull looks so weird? Anyway, mine hasn’t come yet because I also ordered the calendar, but I’m so excited! ---

Whatever happened to the Kickstarter stuff? Been over 7 years and it’s still incomplete. That’s pretty ridiculous. ---

Eh, the way I see it, I wanted three books, I paid the price of three books, and I got three books. Plus assorted other swag and a few digital stories. Sure, I’ll look forward to and appreciate the further digital stories, but the way I see it, Burlew’s already squared his accounts with me. ---

Sure, I’ll look forward to and appreciate the further digital stories, but the way I see it, Burlew’s already squared his accounts with me. I’m hoping to see a future book that collects the KS stories (even though I backed the PDF versions) with the Gygax magazine stories thrown in. ---

About the two beings introduced in the last strip: 1. magical 2. live at the North Pole 3. colors reddish and green 4. one’s the boss of the other. No doubt the boss has other minions. 5. stealthy – no one sees them come or go Should be obvious.
