This week in Epic Fail:The gang reunite at an Inn and have drinks (especially Clodin). Initially Amuletts does not spot Tinuvielle because she is dressed in a drab colored dress clearly designed to cover most of her skin – a big difference from her usual revealing attire. Amuletts challenges her, pointing out how strange it is and Tinuville admits that her son, Yoru, has made the difference.
Creator’s Commentary: I’ve made a story-telling decision to move the plot along and reveal more about Amuletts’ and Dirk’s shopping trip in flash-backs. I’m not sure how – or if - it will work, but nothing ventured nothing gained eh? I will find out soon enough.
In my recent podcast interview jhorsely commented on how much he liked my backgrounds so I put more detail into this one.
I’m not sure when the next update will be (I’m prioritising getting the book ready). Keep an eye on the right-hand collumn for progress towards the next page.
This Saturday at 8.00pm GMT I will be being Interviewed by Jamais on Webcomic Reviews and Interviews. Show up on Talkshoe and you can listen LIVE and ask questions in the chat. If you don’t think you can make it feel free to post your questions in the comments and I will answer them if I can.
You may recall I was interviewed on this exact same podcast last year and it had such terrible sound quality we had to scrap it. Well I have a shiny, working headset now so hopefully, this time, it won’t be Epic Fail.
Your review will help me in the Webcomic Planet War, but I know it’s an awful lot of work registering for review sites on whatnot. So why not put your reviews right here?
All reviews will be posted below once they have been moderated, with the newest at the top.
Mysteries of the Arcana is a Fantasy webcomic and fellow member of the Webcomic Planet Collective. Inspired by Tarot the story involves travel to different universes, or ‘Arcana’ as they are called. As such it is, literally, a colliding of worlds. There are many weird and wonderful creatures to encounter with elements from several different genres all mixed together creating a big a tasty stew! It’s difficult to anticipate what happens next as each universe is different, bringing together a great variety of magic, technology and, erm, stuff!
The story (written by J. Gray) moves quickly, getting across the important points as briefly as possible and then moving on. The art (by Keith W.) matches it perfectly, communicating just enough information and impact. But skip a bit and you’ll be confused so you need to read the whole thing.
The main characters are Chys and Theresa. Chrys is a Bisexual elf and experienced Arcana traveller. She’s on a mission to save her Mother and so far the story concentrates on that. Theresa is a Catholic from Earth and entirely new to all this. She’s a bit grim but has her funny side.
But so far my favorite character is Mandrake the Faerie! Because I love Faeries and she is awesome! So go check out Mysteries of the Arcana – easy to pick up, hard to put down. It’s one of the few webcomics I’m actually up-to-date with. Now how’s that for a recommendation!
Behold what happens to my enemies! Bow down and serve me!

Thought I would never finish this didn’t you? Well I have, and it only took a year! I started tis during the last Webcomic Planet War and it took another to chivvy me into finishing it!
If you recall I was very unhappy about the crowd scene in page 11 Appreciationand wanted to improve it by bringing in characters from other webcomics. And you can fianlly see the results:
Here is a list of everybody in the crowd and the comics they are (from top left to bottom right):
Yes, Epic Fail is once again participating in the Webcomic WAR! And this time I intend to win! The theme this year is ‘Evil Genius.’ I have a great idea for a video: one of me sitting in on a high, shadowy chair slowly stroking a guinea pig…
At the moment there’s only one way you can help: posting to your blogs, twitter and/or forums about the AWESOME power of Epic Fail at www.comicofepicfail.com !
And then I shall take over the world and use you all as my slaves! Muahahahaha – *COUGH!* … Uh, could you forget about that last bit? I meant to say ‘fill the world with puppies and happiness.’ Honest.
A page from my sketchbook. I am practising drawing sword-fighting by copying freeze-frames from combat videos. When we get some actual fighting in Epic Fail I want it to look right. Don’t be suprised if you see some of these poses used in the comic.
Oh! And for those who want to pre-order Epic Fail #1 today is your last chance, after that they are closed.
