Hero Oh Hero (path to greater good reboot)

For posterity, Burk last name is Jenkins, correct?

Nope, but I get where you're coming from.


Hope you're all enjoying the slew of december bonus updates btw! Fun fact: My buffer's still over 200 pages despite all these updates.

Time's up, lets do this.

Gazz vs bottle - Who will win this dramatic duel? I can bet on inanimate objects, right?

[Gez]

So the issue is that Eloy is moving the bottle around too fast. Felix ought to card and immediately discard the bottle. This way the bottle will be put right back where it was, but no longer in Eloy's hands since Eloy moved, and Gaston will be able to smash it as it hangs in mid air and starts to fall.

[-D-]

Oh, wow, that took a darker turn.

I just hope the combustion engine isn't powered by anguished screams of magic users.

[-D-]

I wonder if Noah is oblivious to love, he seems to miss subtext. A lot.

[-D-]

A talk and it reveals some interesting questions. We're sure she is magical in nature, but her bill is clean. Maybe test doesn't detect her type of magic...

Interesting.

[Neoriceisgood]

I wager they let her take her own test, because that never leads to skewed results.

(Just kidding ofc.)

[Kantaki]

New comic.

I don't see how this could go wrong for Noah. I think he will regret this pretty soon. More importantly, assuming it works what then? Unless he plans to stay inside that cow for a very long time there is nothing that stops the empire from testing him at a later point. And that is the best case scenario.

Slaughther day!

Slaughther day!

In a PETTING ZOO??? Well, maybe if the empire works out where he is hiding. I was thinking more along the lines of the cows mind being more dangerous than Noah expects.

I think he is just testing his powers and staying in a cows mind isn't his plan to avoid the testing. (Unless this is the first step of an elaborate plan to leave the empire!)

What if Eloy is hungry?

[Neoriceisgood]

Word of god: eloy doesn't go to the petting zoo to eat animals.



Just a small little remark (particular for readers who've been around since aptGG); as you might be aware I'm operating an extremely strong 200+ page buffer that I try to keep over 200 at all times. (any time I do increased updates it's due to my buffer getting over 220 or so pages.)


One thing that makes me so happy is to finally conclude/finish up stuff that I was working on with my old comic when I quit it (due to study, work stress etc).

Within the span of the buffer's pages I've actually managed to get through basically every important part of the old comic & it's really fun to work on fresh content + finally actually resolving plot points that ended on cliffhangers all those years back.


Just figured I'd drop a message, hope you guys are enjoying reading the reboot!

Well, I guess it can't hurt to be friendly to the faceless abomination with the bladed arms and the static voice that just saved your hide.
Still, Tobi must have nerves of steel for that.
I guess you get those if you live your life in the death world that is a videogame.

This does nothing to dissuade my fears!

I'm just here for the fish ;)

Anyway, it's a really lovely comic and your storytelling improved quite a lot since then. Reading aptGG where Burk talks with Mayor of Gang Town, that whole thing is just done better in HoH (where Burk just drop kicks Mayor into the street). You're optimizing the story and I love it :D

Just dropped in to say I like the comic. Although it is weird to read about a web comic with a 200 comic buffer. It feels unprofessional
I never read the old comic, so I can't enjoy it as reboot, only as new comic. Rock on!

Haven't paid attention to these forums for a while so a bit late to reply, but thanks for the comment! I'm glad you're liking the comic!


The super large buffer is mostly related due to my irregular page production btw, when I started my reboot my comic had a 150 page buffer that shrank below 50 due to how busy I was
with study, internship etc. (and that was when pages were half as big); So I've always had that initial buffer deflation in the back of my head as a "worst case scenario".


Because my old comic was plagued with Hiatuses I try to keep my buffer at a size where even several months without page production due to work can be survived.



On that note, how's everyone enjoying the daily updates over summer?

Quite. I'm thinking of Patreoning hoping to lead to moar comics.

[lord_khaine]

Can sadly not find much to comment on storywise, but i do greatly enjoy reading this so far. Thumbs up

[Kantaki]

Ciel, are you sure that you have Noah’s best in mind?
Because stunts like this one make wonder.

The delivery is still priceless. „Don't worry, you are the only one who can see me. To anyone else you look like a madman.”

And who knows, it might even help him to get out of this... Nah, they already know he can do something.
And from what we have seen being crazy isn't among the things that get you out of the army.
Besides, the alternative is worse.

Thanks! My update rate isn't really tied to patreon as I'd honestly do daily updates regardless if it wasn't for me needing to spend time on a lot of other things that just make
daily updates not viable throughout most of the year.

That being said, it does seem the daily updates over summer got me 2-3 new patrons, which is neat.

Thank you! As long as you guys are enjoying it, that's important. :)

Who's to say Ciel's interested in noah's best?

[Thalnawr]

Who's to say Ciel's interested in noah's best?

But she just said she's a projection of his mind, so that means his own mind is out to get him?

[Kantaki]

But she just said she's a projection of his mind, so that means his own mind is out to get him?

Considering she is our only source on what she is Ciel might be lying. Or Noah’s subconsciousness tries to sabotage him. Who knows.
But I expect her to be some kind of... spirit that latched onto Noah like some kind of symbiote/parasite* with his magic possibly being either the reason or what allows them to talk (or was created by his power) and now messes with him - not necessarily out of malevolence, but because he is a kinda boring to live in. Or she is a troll and stays in Noah’s head because he is easy to mess with and his powers let her do so**.
I don't think she is lying about Noah’s power or her being there to help him, but I doubt she told him everything.

*Most likely the former. Whatever she might get from this relationship, it doesn't seem to be bad for Noah.
**While still working as his assistant.

[Neoriceisgood]

But she just said she's a projection of his mind, so that means his own mind is out to get him?

Bit of a late reply, but the "projection of his mind" but is mostly talking about how only Noah can see Ciel. I think there's been enough examples of Noah not being exactly
"happy" with the nature of his power (and Ciel by extention)




Hope you all are enjoying the frequent increase in update rate btw! I've been working hard on new pages, so have had more opportunities to increase the update rate.

More updates are good. That gives me more to read.

I'm enjoying Patreon updates and regular updates, but one thing kinda puzzles me (yeah I know you probably won't answer if it's spoiler) Why didn't Three protect Tobi when the Blood golem attacked (in the 713 strip) ?

In APTGG he was looking the other way, here he just stares and does nothing.

Honestly just an art mistake, I probably just forgot to change his pose. in aptGG the page's pacing was a bit different due to the page format & 3's reaction flowed more into the next page.

I'd change it, but I should probably fix a lot of the typos and stuff in old pages before I start fixing up art.

[-D-]

Why doesn't anyone post here?

The last Burk chapter was great, even though it contained very little Burk.

[lord_khaine]

I would like to give a thumb up to the author. This comic is really amusing, with lots of interesting little plot twists. I have had a lot of fun archive binging it.
