Comic 706 -- A Dangerous Tragic Echo

First Hayaka ran into unexpected trouble. Now it's Sax's turn...

Sax's magic is almost always based on stage magic, and though there are a number of illusions for making ghosts seem to appear, there are not so many for making them go away. Which puts him in a bit of a pickle this time around.

Although I'm starting to think Sax's real magic is the ability to have narrative balloons when nobody else gets them. How does he do that?

I'm continually impressed with how much you manage to fit in one of these long-form comics. Confrontation, action, exposition, resolution, all in a neat little package that doesn't feel rushed. Good work!

As it turns out, there's another comic about a mostly-dead adventurer questing for the lost Mjolnir, Thistil Mistil Kistil.

Its author recently had a kickstarter, and one of the backer rewards was a character commission. Here's Sharon with another take on the hammer of Thor, and from the look on her face, she just found God as well...

Hey, that's really cool!

Many thanks for pointing me in that direction. I've never heard of the comic before, and I really dig it. I just wrote the author to thank her.
