So what do we think biscuit's viper body count is now? Somewhere around two dozen I'd say.

I generally give it roughly 12-18 hours before unspoiling.

I'd say far more, depending on if we count from when he came out of the dungeon, or the switch-fiend pit.

This really doesn't look good. This is Grem's tribe that's being wiped out, if he doesn't try to kill Biscuit I'd be surprised. I can't see a peaceful resolution coming out of all this, regardless of the circumstances (i.e. the Vipers dropping Biscuit into the Switchbeast pit).

No peace here. The Vipers had a chance to do things peacefully and they intentional decided to be evil SOB's. And that's not counting all the otehr stuff they where trying to pull.

That and Biscuit were perfectly content to simply leave, carry on with his life and do the whole live and let live, it was them who made him into an enemy and apparently the nemesis of their people.

So turned out the last, like, four comics have had their updated shading, but I needed to actually Refresh to see it. I thought he was just massively behind on that.

Anyway, now I can see the pretty colors flying around. I guess those torches were wrapped in prism weed. Neat!

I don't know... it looks neat in one way, in the other it feels a bit... jarring. It's such a clash between all the pretty colours and the brutally gory violent death-killing all around.

I rather liked Grem's growth of character, but I gotta say, of the two I want to keep Biscuit.

Thunt already took K'sellis, please we need one awesome hulk of a bruiser to survive.

I believe that effect may have been intentional.

You made me look back at the previous pages, and notice this:

Biscuit is slicing through the goblins with the dull end of his axe.

I can't look at that frame and not think Fore! - his pose is ideal.

I don't think that's the case (for one thing, while initially awesome it actually makes no sense) But notice that the blade extends beyond the back, blunt side. I think the axe can actually slice either direction, provided you only use the tip.

No, I think it more likely that Thunt drew Biscuit in a "readying a blow" pose, then thought it'd be more dynamic if there were goblin corpses flying away and turned it in a "finishing a blow" pose, without adapting how the axe is held.

Note that the back of the blade past the shaft is blunt too, and this back edge isn't bloodstained anyway.

Maybe rather then hitting them with the blunt side of his axe, he is swinging his axe infront of him, and the blade, wich is curved, is slicing into goblins that are a distance away. its hard to explain buut... Here's an attempt.

He said on twitter that he used a golf photo as a referrence for that panel.

I think the blade is facing the wrong way too, but the extension means it still *works*. -ish.
