Was Thief going to say "I thought hated us" or "hated them"

Is the whole Diner part inspired by the end of Kingdom Come?

Also was the Quest Board a lift from Dragon Age?

I loved the ending. It seemed so diffiernt, so perfect but...sad at the same time.

Thank you Brian/Kurosen for a great many years if enjoyment.

Awesome.

I loved how it ended introducing the main characters in reverse from the beginning, and ended with Fighter and Black Mage still adventuring around together even after all of that.

Great ending!!

Thanks again Brian.

"sects buddies" + red mage eating with mask on + "that's been taken" + bm & fighter together at the end = lol :P Some subtle jokes too, nice. Fitting end for Fighter & BM... all of em really. nice work!
Oh, and thanks for providing us free entertainment for however many years.

Well played...

Lovely job. (Though I have to agree with a prior comment, it looks like Matt Speroni's art or Brian's tearful epilogue writing assignment has somehow translated to an increase in intelligence and wisdom for nearly every Light Warrior, with perhaps the suitable exception of Fighter.)

This felt like the perfect way to end things.
I'm really looking forward to HIKYM starting back up, too.

The last one with the Shadowlord was the main plotline of FFXI (the MMORPG). (Was that what you wanted know?)

Anyway, this is what I wanted to see in an ending, though I didn't see Darko in there anywhere. Great ending to a great comic. It was a wild ride these past umpteen years, but it was worth it, though sad to see it end.

This statement is the perfect summation of my thoughts on the epilogue. Just really nice, you know?

Also, very surprising the only thing keeping Thief from robbing the world blind(with his own two hands, at least) is being a king.
