Fantastic! You're really maintaining a consistency of high quality with these.

Also, seeing the old flyer with the Forestmen attacking the Black Monarch's Castle was a neat touch - it gave the story a touch of nostalgia.

The only thing that seems odd is that Jayko is carrying Santis's sword - I know Morcia is a bit low on weapons in this comic, but surely it can't have gotten that bad!?

Hi,

I love this series. The second to last panel with Jayko confused & sweating was great. Just one criticism: in the first two panels, I had some trouble figuring out what order the bubbles were supposed to go in.

Keep 'em coming!

Brilliant!

In my opinion, you can never poke too much fun at KK2.

EDIT: P.S. Nice alliteration!

Awesome! I think that there should have been some longbows in the knights kingdom sets.... but there weren't. Overall I have to say that KK2-1 was a huge let-down. Bley, huge swords, huge shields, super-type powers, odd colors, few horses, almost no footsoldiers, no bows, etc...

Great addition. I love how Jayko doesn't even know what a bow is. The only criticism I have is the same as Sibley's, I was a little confused in the first panel. Keep 'em coming!

Artistic license.

Quite frankly, it looks better. Blue + blue = very yes. I've done it with my own Jayko (yes, I have an unruined Jayko...).

As always, excellent work, Master Fry_Slayer. The punch line is one of the best ones yet- though you've been consistently good throughout. As always... can't wait till next week.

I, too, had a bit of difficulty with the ordering of the first panel dialogue.

And one grammar note for the second panel: it should be "freemen" (twice) and "forestmen".

Apart from that, this is a very enjoyable installment. The punchline is excellent. I hadn't realized til now that bows and arrows are an unknown weapon in Morcia. Looks like there's a technology gap that's just waiting to be exploited by... [cue ominous music!] fade to black...

There... that should fix the first frame

As for the issue of Jayko's sword well it always looks like a bad idea putting yellow items on yellow background so I didn't give it a second thought when i put the blue sword in.

Another thing is that there are some issues currently poping up in life myside which demands more attention and energy. There may or may not be another run after this week, even if there is I doubt it can go very far. May we wish the best blessings from Brick God.

Sorry Alan, that's my fault. I'm supposed to be the grammar checker and that slipped right past me...

This is the best yet! Though I would have made the forestman picture a bit bigger. Keep up the top-notch work!

There's not much else I can add, but the ending is priceless. I really do hope to see more of this series, no matter how long it might take you.
