Here's hoping the new plotline injects new life.

8-bit had a Sapphire Guild arc?

I'm not sure whether to apologize for having gotten my acronyms mixed up, or if I should chastise you for making a snarky comment regarding an obvious mistake when my intent should have been clear.

It was technically called the Azure City but I figured it was perfectly clear what he had meant.

There is in fact such a thing as an overabundance of lampshade-hanging. Didn't like this one at all.

Yeah, I got that feeling too, more than a little bit. My favorite part is actually just the implementation of Blackwing as a 'new' character, but the whole clash of not remembering the familiar seemed like a bad setup for a joke.

I dunno. If this is lampshade hanging it's pretty outta place, and I'd agree not that great. But it feels more like a plot thread. I mean, V even points out that Haley named the bird right there. Somethings up. :shifty:

No. Nothing's up. It was a joke. Laugh. LAUGH!

I kinda gotta agree with Steel.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the bird getting so close to the tangle or whatever that he could actually see into/through it.

Or it's the worst joke the comic has had.

The second one. It wasn't funny, looking back on it.

New strip.

My dislike of last episode does in no way extend to any before or, as I can safely say now, after it.

Mirai Gen · 09-05-2009, 02:13 AM

Art upgrade!

I do like knocking on the more armor/more skin showing for females. I mean the joke sure as hell isn't new but I like his execution of it.

EDIT: Woah, midnight update on Saturday? I cross my fingers this trend continues.

Uh...

That one's been up all Friday. No one noticed it yesterday.
