My favorite argument is still the "he uses way too many words". One wonders what happens when these folks accidentally stumble upon a book.

Books aren't meant to be 15 second diversions, and CAD is not meant to be a literary masterpiece. At least I hope not.

Agreed, but it's not like you can't still read it in a few seconds. Besides, he seems to have toned that down some lately.

Sure enough. I'm not saying it's a good argument. Hell, Order of the Stick is one of my favourite webcomics. The problem a lot of people have with CAD is that Tim often overwrites, adding far too much unnecessary dialogue that ultimately throws off the comedic timing of the joke.

I disagree, it's an even BETTER twist. Now that both Stanley and Wanda are attuned, a divine form of Loyalty binds them. Wanda is being controlled by Titanic mandate. This might explain Charlie's persistent involvement in Stanley's situations as well, besides mere prophet.

Interesting.....

It's just that Gobwin Knob has been royally kicking everyone's asses for months now. I was looking forward to this as being some kind of monumental shake-up. Wanda and the de-croaked have been shown again and again to be incredibly powerful. Where's the conflict?

I suspect that the shake-up might come from within. Even from the early summer text updates, it's pretty clear that Stanley feels his power and influence are slowly being overshadowed by Wanda's. I suspect he might pull a hissy fit and disband her, which doesn't seem like all that big of a threat until se realizes that her army of decrypted is kinda all sound and fury without Parson's superior strategic mind.

It's kinda out there, but I'd like to see how Wanda lasts under that kind of solitude and as a barbarian.

I have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about, but I giggle a little every time someone writes "Gobwin Knob".

They ride dwagons, there. And Fight with giant spidews. It's a fun place.

oh, and
I'm actually a much bigger fan of the type of conflict going on now. And there is conflict, believe it or not. Just a different sort that we're used to.

Do you actually think that Wanda's evil army of decrypted soldiers sweeping past opposing forces is a good thing? What we've got is an army of darkness taking over the world with little standing in his way, and the protagonist--a brilliant strategist who apparently no longer has to follow orders--is on the side of the evil army, but quite clearly opposed to the violence that's happening.

Parson has a completely alien set of morals that Erfworld has never seen before, and it's been heavily suggested that his influence may be what's needed to end the meaningless fighting that the entire world is subject to.

Of course, Rob's a brilliant writer. His story always end up going in different directions than everyone seems to expect, so I can't say I have any idea what's going to happen, or how things will end up going in that direction (if they even do.) But there's some brilliant conflict and tension going on right now, and I'm enjoying going along for the ride.

Also, why the heck are we using spoiler tags?

Alright, I'm up to date with everything I'm currently reading. Anybody got a good webcomic(or 5) that's fairly long, and possibly even still updates regularly?

That is a big list. I recognize a few from the newspaper. A few more I have bookmarked. I mostly check out sci-fi and fantasy. I'm looking at Starslip right now...definitely a unique style of artwork.

Yeah, Starslip was one of my favorites for a long time. It had some hilarious moments in its prime. It's still really good, though I think its spark has gone.

As for fantasy, have you checked out the works of Sarah Ellerton? She's currently working on The Phoenix Requiem, which I think is great. She already has a webcomic with a finished story, called Inverloch, which I don't think is as good, but I loved it when I was younger, and more stupid.

They're not for everyone (not even for all fantasy lovers) but they might be worth checking out.

She's also doing the art for some comic called Dreamless, but I don't like that one so much.

Starslip Crisis is in my top 10 webcomics, emphasis on Crisis.

My love for all things Straub is well-known.

Yeah, things haven't quite picked things up since the post-crisis storyline.

And nothing has ever topped the climax to the Katarakis battle storyline.

WEAR IT LIKE A HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

Man why is Wondermark not on my list?

David Malki is so goddamned funny. Allen have you ever listened to Tweet Me Harder?

This has, unfortunately, gone pay, but the art is incredible. I saw most of this comic posted page by page at an art forum I used to frequent. It is delicious. I highly recommend it. It's different -- very Tarantino.
