the end was funny man, but it really clashed with the rest of it. the comic as a whole seems to carry a more serious tone and for the end to be end the end as you did it, i liked it in that dark funny hahaha comical sense, but it really clashes like you couldn't come up with an ending so a whale man shows up to finish the show
Thanks for the kind words guys! It's true that the current ending was a joke for April Fools, so it is not the actual end. It was great to hear how many people wanted to see more of the comic (here and out on the internet)
I have been working on this comic for a little less than a year, so progress has been slow. It was actually a lot more work than I expected, taking about 1.5 days of work to do 3 or 4 pages (the size of a typical update), which is a lot of time to take off from my normal art tasks on the Overgrowth game.
Sometimes I feel like April 1 is the first real holiday for the internet, and I love it. Thanks again for the feedback!
Thanks! I mostly made the comic so I could work on my story telling skills. This Swordmaker update is something I was working on and off for over a year, so it feels good to have it done, and to move on to other things. It takes a really long time to make a comic book!

The story didnt have a purpose.
But the end was a good laugh.

Sorry you didn't find the comic funny achillesian. I always look at your threads when I need a good laugh.
"mighty whaleman, how can we appease you?"

Which is how I felt at the ending
9/10
And, the whale was awesome.
