Broodhollow: If you died here, you'd be home by now
Hello hello hello!
Previous thread: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showt...ht=broodhollow
Broodhollow is a horror comic about ghosts and mental disorders. It is written by Kris Straub, author of Candle Cove and Chainsawsuit. Kris has also been blessed with a fanbase almost as witty as he is, to the point where reading the comment sections can often give you a second joke (or more). To anyone new to his work, I highly recommend checking what the top-rated comment is on each page.
Broodhollow has completed two chapters thus far, and in the wake of a successful Kickstarter to get the latest one made into a book, a new chapter in the tale of Wadsworth Zane has begun to unfold.

Re: Broodhollow: If you died here, you'd be home by now
Finally, a new chapter. I wonder what poor Wadsworth will go through now.
Many thanks to Assassin 89 for this avatar!

Re: Broodhollow: If you died here, you'd be home by now
Spoiler: New PageThat childrens' play about a king who wore only gold sounds so cute! Um. Wait.
"That many-armed sweater may be of use one day" is the most hilariously ominous sentence I've ever read. I really hope that's foreshadowing.You can always rely on the kindness of strangeness.

Re: Broodhollow: If you died here, you'd be home by now
Oh good! I had lost track of broodhollow and feared it forever lost. Thanks for this new thread!
"...Look, it's a simple job. Just go down to the docks, book passage on the good ship Harm's Way, set sail for the Isles of Immaculate Doom, pick up the Orb of Despair which is already waiting for you, and bring it back to deliver to that crazy old coot who lives in that creepy old tower in the Swamp of a Thousand Screams. What could possibly go wrong?"

Re: Broodhollow: If you died here, you'd be home by now
Welcome to Broodhollow! Never mind the Eldritch horrors living below the town. You kinda get used to them, and they'll hardly cross your mind.
Well, I had gotten pretty far behind, but now I'm all caught up again, and WOW.. what the heck happened?? Did Wadsworth forget everything again, or has he just dealt with it all and now feels fine?
Is he best buds with Monseuir Cadavre now, or has he forgotten him?
The local Lodge symbol being found on that temple below the waters can't be a good thing. Or can it?
Man, I wish the updates came faster!!"...Look, it's a simple job.

Re: Broodhollow: If you died here, you'd be home by now
It seems that whatever happened after the great dive, the three of them managed to keep their memories by acting as each others' hems, each remembering details the other two forget.

The Skull and Shovels originally had a pair of crossed arrows instead of shovels. Crossed arrows are a Native American symbol for friendship. The inverted skull (or head or whatever it is) I can't find a direct correlation to any real-life symbols, but "any Native American symbols that were portrayed upside down signified that they had been killed."
So... this was originally a cult for forming friendships with the dead? Bonding with the dead? Making pacts with them? Definitely seems necromantic, whatever it was. And the Bower Brigade is JUST the shovels, right? So their only concern was staying united?Last edited by Fralex; 2015-05-27 at 09:53 PM.

Re: Broodhollow: If you died here, you'd be home by now
Sounds good to me. I hope Wadsworth has the gumption to mention all of this to the Lodge members and demand an explanation.

They look like they're playing a card game...

Not anymore! Zane sent 'em running! How very odd.

I bet it's something behind him. Also, he'll probably cheat at cards. Originally Posted by Kislath
