Anti-World #1: Reboot!

posted by Chris on 2008/8/5 (Comics)

If you were paying attention, you might have noticed that it has nothing to do with the current story arc. Actually, if you read the bottom, you'll notice it has more than just my name. *Actually*, this isn't even Zarah writing - this is Crazed.

Zarah and I have conspired together for me to work on some guest comics, of which this is my first. It's called "Anti-World", and it focuses on other events in the world of Anti-Heroes. Some of them will be unrelated snippets, while others will form a little arc of its own. I'll be trying to release these on a weekly basis and help Zarah fill in the gaps when he can't get a comic up.

So anyway, about today's comic. This is my first comic in the OotS style. Hopefully I was able to present things well and recreate the characters faithfully. More importantly, this revisits one of the audience's favorite characters: Frank! Yes, Frank is still alive (well... sort of), at the will of the almighty lawyers. Additionally, obviously, the "chaos" in the world is due to the side-by-side usage of both DND 3.5 and 4e. I know there were tons of people asking if AH was going to switch to 4e, so this is a tip of the hat to those people, though I'm not passing any judgment on the matter.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the issue. I had a really fun time making it. I especially liked how the "Masked Mage" turned out.

PS: There's another joke in this comic, referencing something from real life. If you get it, post in the comments!

"Its still drawn in AI?"

No, I draw in Inkscape.

Sorry for not getting another one of these up, but Zarah and I were away/busy at pretty much the same times. Hopefully we'll be seeing more in the future. Happy

Yeah, I will agree with that. Thought balloons=not so good.
Phase - 2008/8/7
Ahh...

I had thought the art looked a bit off: Thicker lines, odd placement.

And I agree with An Ony Mouse: Thiught bubbles don't work so well in this style.

It's the whole market crash thingee. Duh.

Great comic, btw. Bit rough around the edges, but great comic.

This was very good, but please don't use thought bubbles. Although they do look like clouds (I assume that was your intention), it doesn't work for this style. At all. Or for most comic styles.

Haha. Big business types totally live on another plane of existance from us ordinary folk. Tongue

On the stiff spotting front, I give the archer low odds of making it, archers have a poor track record 'round here.
Face of Evil - 2008/8/6
Heh. This was cute, especially the Reboot reference. But I welcome the return of Anti-Heroes! Happy
Methos - 2008/8/6
YES! HE'S BACK!

Please, don't convert to 4ed.

Will we see hexa-decimal too?

Is there perchance a reference to the whole economic BLAH happening in the "maybe we can lower interest rates" comment?

Alpha-Numeric!
Face of Evil - 2008/8/5
A guest comic? Alpha-numeric! Wink

I don't really understand most of the humor.
Jordan - 2008/8/5
Even though I already knew about the "incoming game" reference, it still made me laugh. And as I told you already, it looks like you copy and pasted Frank straight from an issue of mine. Well done.

And since people probably WILL be asking, I have another update planned for Thursday.
