There are currently two comics on the web I follow fanatically, eagerly awaiting every new update, and wishing that there’d be more than one strip per day. One of these is Narbonic. The other is Get Medieval.
Now, I pretty much expected this for Narbonic. The story there is currently in its climax. Everything so far has more or less been building up to this, the grand finale before the comic ends. I’m on the edge of my seat to see what happens next, and based on the rest of the comic’s run, I fully expected to be.
Get Medieval, on the other hand, that took me a bit by surprise. Thinking about it, though, I’m not sure why. Get Medieval is a very good comic, well drawn, very well written, never misses an update, has good and consistent characters, is frequently accurate and always funny. In short, it is a solid comic, that ought, by rights, to make it’s creator tons and tons of money.
Well, as much money as you can make from comics, anyway.
But I never really though of it as a pins-and-needles kind of strip, until I suddenly realized how much I ached to see what happens next.
Form here on, there will be some spoilers, but everything that follows can be summed up as “read Get Medieval“, so if you haven’t yet, why don’t you just go do that instead of continuing.
