t's Diamond's new policies which make it mathematically impossible for wholly new indie creators to take off

I'm aware that Diamond is an asshole in this regard, but I'm not aware of the specific policies?

It all makes so much goddamn sense now! I used to assume the Light Warriors were just a simple party that went far off the rails, but now I see that they are a villain party that have stayed exactly on the rails.

It actually got hinted at (or at least I believe so) when Fighter pointed out all the devastation they kept leaving in their wake back before the Water Orb.

Speculation-time for new guy!
I think it all will end with BM and fighter being transported back in time to the beginning of the webcomic, when they walk through the Giant's Forest. It will be much like The Dark tower. Anticlimax? Yes. Epic? Yes.
It would explain why Black mage is so pissed of, he has lived through being with Fighter for an eternity.

Ok. While it does look that way, I don't exactly think the light warriors are the endboss. For a number of reasons.

1)Earlier in the comic, Sarda was good(As he proves to be now, albeit a jackass out of time and space) and he tried to turn THEM good, made clear in his words "I could make them be good"

2)While the LightWarriors are incredible jackasses, selfish murderers and over-all scoundrels, they don't seem to fit the requirements for an endboss, since there is nobody good strong enough to kill them except Sarda, and that would be anti-climatic into the unsatisfying.

3)Swordopolis said they AND the Dark Warriors had a part to play, and while the dark warriors MIGHT be a force for good, honestly now, they were beaten by the weaker former Light Warriors.

I'd say more but I'm out of time

I'm so happy someone else has seen this.

MMmmmm... Sarda Knows everything since he woke up this century. So I believe this one doesnt stick to it.

Proof: Right Here

CopperNinja · 05-26-2009, 11:28 AM

....Sarda is obviously lying.... How many times has he been surprised?
At least twice. His words are as trustworthy as red mage's.

I figure he is just a very very VERY powerful wizard, and nothing more.

Oh and lets not forget his blunder at the beginning of the universe.
An all knowing god he is not.

And the idea that he does not need the "light warriors" is laughable.
He finds them far more annoying than amusing.

Previously, for a title to be listed in Previews and distributed through Diamond, it had to generate at least $X in sales per issue. In January Diamond announced that the new minimum would be two and a half times the old minimum.

This severely hampers the ability for new talent to gain traction and success.

To put this into terms of another industry: this is basically like canceling a TV show if its unadvertised pilot about a new IP without any big names attached doesn't get great ratings.

It is a policy that all but guarantees the failure of emergent talent.

Oh come on now, Red Mage is not that bad.
Was he not just about to save the world a few comics ago?
In fact, he is the ONLY voice of reason in the group besides Black Mage whose voice of reason is slanted to the T.

Red Mage's flaw seems to be that he idly stands by while his group does terrible things... but at least he tries.

Even Fighter doesn't try.

It's pretty messed up that Diamond and Marvel and DC have effectively teamed up to destroy the comics market.

Si Civa · 05-26-2009, 12:18 PM

And aren't those companies in a way digging their own grave?
If new talent don't get chance, who will do comics in future for them?

Oh yeah. Comic book movies. They are sticking with those.
