    Default Broodhollow-- it's still out there, on the edges of your sanity...

    Just a reminder to check out one seriously cool little comic, Broodhollow. Lovecraftian horror in a sleepy little West Virginia town.
    Seriously, it's great. Read the first two dozen pages, and you'll be hooked.

    "...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?"

    Yes, join us in reveling in the horrifying depths of Kris Straub's mind, and then be appalled by the still-more-horrifying update schedule.

    It's really not that bad. There's gaps, but between them it's weekly, and the weekly stretches are pretty common. Gone with the Blastwave this is not, nor even Dresden Codak or Lackadaisy Cats.
    I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

    I'm not joking one bit. I would buy the hell out of that.

    I'm sure I'm underweighting the side stories and such. It just feels that way because I caught up with Broodhollow around last October and so my experience has mostly been the main story threatening to go somewhere without actually going somewhere for fourteen months.

    Hey, Dresden Codak's been doing a pretty good job sticking to its biweekly schedule! Though I admit that's still the slowest comic I know of that updates regularly now.

    Also, here is the previous thread, for posterity: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showt...be-home-by-now

    Second chapter was even better than first.
    Love the characters. Especially that pet.

    I just wish that the updates came faster.

    Kris Straub was dealing with severe writer's block and a newborn baby. Broodhollow was officially on hold. More recently he posted he's started writing new Broodhollow content again.
