His Insurance Policy

posted by Jordan on 2008/7/20 (Comics)

Wow, what a weekend. I wanted this issue done on Friday, and I probably could have had it finished, but I was interrupted, and pretty much didn't have a spare moment since then. First, I hung around with a friend and went to the movie Friday night (more on that in a second), then had a wedding on Saturday, then had to work this morning at 6 AM, going on about 3 hours of sleep. Fuuuuun. So I sat down and forced myself to finish the comic tonight, and upload it.

Next topic: The Dark Knight. If you haven't already seen the movie, do so. Now. I loved Batman Begins, so I suppose I can be biased that way, but even putting the fact that it's Batman aside, it's still a very good standalone film. Heath Ledger's Joker is absolutely stunning, and I thought Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent was another good casting call. I would be surprised if this movie doesn't win an award in the future, since I'm quite certain that this will be the best movie I'll have seen all year. Even if you're not a Batman fanboy, see this movie. It's worth the money.

Ninja - 2008/7/24
love it
Troll - 2008/7/22
Pressed enter by accident. Sorry for the double post.
2. One of the main characters has died.
3. One of the main characters uses a sword.
4. The MITD may be a balrog.

Why, Rich Burlew ripped it off completely and just changed the names.
happyvampire - 2008/7/22
Yeah, really. I mean, why wouldn't a rogue use her advantage of sneak attack against a warrior in a dark warehouse?
Troll - 2008/7/22
Star, you're searching for similaritie. By that logic, Oots is a rip-off of Lotr. Look:
1. V and Gandalf both wear robes and weild magic.
2.
happyvampire - 2008/7/22
Uh, Jarajara? This is a FAN comic. A lot of the stuff is supposed to be similar.
And who cares? It's awesome!
Valahuir - 2008/7/22
Also with the warehouse scene you also have you consider this, Shes a rouge, he's a ranger which are warriors. WHY would she fight him in any other way at all?
Sequinox - 2008/7/22
Awesome. AldrAn (notice the 'a') was hilarious. An about Star's comment, I never would have noticed any of those except for the chase in the warehouse. That was VERY ootsy, but as someone else says, it's a fan comic. Still, 5/5, Zarah.
CLRTR - 2008/7/22
Why is everybody spelling it "Aldrin"?
Amaretto - 2008/7/22
Hey guys.

GREAT COMIC.

Especially the last panel... lol

I haven't been posting in a while causes i was on vacation.

Oh well, the 5 comics today made up fo it lol.

Kepp it up Zarah!
Jarajara - 2008/7/22
omg!!!11!!onE!!!

It has a paladin in it. Its a clear rip off of OOTS! OMG! OMG! I hate to break it to you but there are so many things in OOTS that have been ripped off from other books I have read. From LoTr, to many dragonlance novels. The genre only has so many ways to go with it.
DMGnome - 2008/7/21
Yes, Dark Knight was awesome. Heath Ledger is totally badass.

"Watch me make this pencil disappear! It's magic!"
happyvampire - 2008/7/21
Oh, and Batman: The Dark Knight might just be the best movie I've ever seen. EVER.
happyvampire - 2008/7/21
This comic is AWESOME! I've been reading it for awhile ever since I found it on the OOTS forums. The beginning wasn't as good as I would've liked it to be...but hey, you were just starting out. And it seems like with every new comic, your storytelling ability improves. I can't wait to fight out Aldran's plan. Because actually, I'm kind of hoping that he'll annoy his girlfriend so much she'll just beat it out of him...
E T - 2008/7/21
And you keep delivering, the last part was worth more than its weight in gold. ^^
dallas-dakota - 2008/7/21
But Aldran´s brother his true name is nardla!
insecure - 2008/7/21
Hey, we've got Aldran's brother's name!
JIndra34 - 2008/7/21
I just can't wait for Aldran's likely over convoluted explanation for all this. Despite the fact were never going to get it.
Peregrine - 2008/7/21
Yeah, Star, you're kind of stretching it at this point. I agree with Mordae, based on your thought process, you can draw parallels to anything.
Either way, fan comics are supposed to reference their parent comic, it makes them funnier.
Doopliss - 2008/7/21
Star: You say it as if mysterious cloaked characters and evil (well, good, I suppose) siblings were totally unheardof before OotS.
Face of Evil - 2008/7/21
Blech. I wanted to write an impassioned argument against Star's idiotic comment, but I realized it all comes down to this:

Stop being such a ****ing troll, and shut up.

Nice comic, Zarah. I liked the punchline at the end.
Forealms - 2008/7/21
Aldran is probably the uniquest (I know that's not right) character I've ever seen. Excellent job shaping his priorities, Zarah.
Tanner - 2008/7/21
... I'm starting to get the impreshen that aldrin's a real DILLWEED!
Ecalsneerg - 2008/7/21
Star, if you don't like the comic, why keep reading it?
MTONinja - 2008/7/21
Just wanted to ehco hippoboy's thoughts 'Aldrin is so awesome "I like to protect myself too"' I love Aldrin thanks for making him such unique character!
Mordae - 2008/7/21
You know, the reason why OOtS and aH have such similarities is they're comics about the same genre, and therefore have the same tropes from which to choose. If you try hard enough, you could draw parallels to LotR, or any other epic fantasy for that matter Happy
dallas-dakota - 2008/7/21
Star, this IS a fan-comic...
Star - 2008/7/21
Sigh.

So, until now, we had the Miko/Belkar chase similarity, the cloaked Miko/Aldrin similarity, the white veil/azur city similarity and now the main charactor happens to have an opposite twin (surprise surprise!)
I wonder how long it will last for the vampire to loose her speech and for the ghost to find a female ghost that he leaves when he finds out she's still married...

But no, you are right, there are no similarities LOL
dallas-dakota - 2008/7/21
That last panel was just win.
kpenguin - 2008/7/20
Hey, Zarah/Jordan, what happened to posting in that co-blog you have with Crazed/Chris?

I'd love to see what you do with the Dark Knight there.
Lazaro - 2008/7/20
Best motivation a person can have.
Hippoboy - 2008/7/20
Aldrin is so awesome "I like to protect myself too"
