Question #3, Continued: The Best of Games
This Comic's Cast:
My favorite part of this series, absolutely, is how playful I got to be with it. Pretty early into the series I decided that i wanted to break conventions for "proper" comicing and just do my own thing. That's why, pretty early on, the comic stopped doing anything close to fixed panels. And then we bailed on the idea that a comic had to be properly numbered, or that one "comic" couldn't happen over several dozen strips. That, of course, reached its peak with Xenophobic, the strip that ran for 151 comics, all of them numbered "Comic 3000", technically (seriously, go open one of those images and you'll see it's named comic3000something, every single one). We really got to play around in the medium and try to defy every expectation. That made me happy.
I dunno if I'd get that playful with any future comic I do. Probably they'd have a more rigid structure just because I got a lot of these weird ideas out of my system. I'll still make sure the next project celebrates its Comic 83, though. Gotta keep some traditions alive.
When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...
These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...
They actually do something heroic.
