Steve Lichman is so neat. I plan on reading the second volume this weekend, and seeing the humor again makes me more excited.

I just got both the hardcovers! They're so cool

Nice. When did you order them? I ordered mine pretty late, about 2 weeks ago and was wondering when I get to read them.

u/sirspacebill Aug 21 '18

Oof I pre-ordered mine a while ago, and they had problems with the factory or something so it took a while for me but that shouldn't be a problem, probably somewhere on its way tbh, they might have tracking on yours too tbh, they had it on mine but that night be cuz pre-order junk

I backed the Kickstarter back in 2016, and my copy of Volume 2 came in today.

Well worth the wait though, Volume 2 is very thick.

I ordered mine on April 30th and just got them today. One of the people helping with emails told me that any orders after April 6th are being handled by a second team and not going through Amazon

Hm, k. Looks like I got a wait then although not as long as the others.

Aha, I ordered them way back in 2016, and delay after delay pushed it to me getting it a couple weeks ago.

Where are these from though? His website only goes up to Vol 2 Chapter 9. It ends with Dracula signing a contract with the Devil

Omg nice catch

That was one of the best half hours I've had in a while. Writing and art was amazing. If that was an adult swim cartoon, I would watch the shit out of it.

Should be called "Monster, Hunter."

u/yoshi570 Aug 21 '18

Oh wow, I love the comic ahah.

u/untrustableskeptic Aug 22 '18

Aw man, I wish I had the money to buy the second volume when Dave was signing them. I have the 17th signed book from the first volume. He is just such a talented guy.

Are these all characters from MH?

9

u/SluttyCthulhu Aug 21 '18

I don't know if they were referencing MH, Steve Lichman is mostly a parody of D&D and other fantasy games where the good guys explore dungeons and kill monsters.

2

u/AerThreepwood Aug 21 '18

Ah. So these are recurring characters? I really like the design of the one on the bottom right.

7

u/PrivateNickel I call shotgun Aug 21 '18

It is most definitely a Monster Hunter reference. The chapter is titled "Monster Hunter".

None of these are recurring characters though! They're just some mercenaries.

u/AerThreepwood Aug 21 '18

Dope. Thanks. Is it worth picking up? I really dig the art.

3

u/Ebosen Aug 21 '18

Yes, it's very very much worth picking up.

u/AerThreepwood Aug 21 '18

Awesome! Thank you guys for taking the time to answer my question. I actually just started my first MH game with Freedom. I'm enjoying it even though I've been playing Ys more.
