zimmy, why your chapters always creep me out

[Sarfallet]

Creepy? There's just some nobodies with infections of black lines instead of faces. ;P Hahaha. I mostly get confused by 'em.

[taboo]

im pretty sure that's jack


..or something that looks like jack

[Silence]

it's a jack

about to be a jackass no doubt

[Sarfallet]

Pfff, I'm not gonna hypothesi in a Zimma chapter. :P ...but if I were to I would say you are right.
My favorite parts of the chapter has gotta be headpigeon(and the spider and the myriapoda in Zimmys hair). :)

So I just started this on a few days ago. really digging the morbid mood that is constantly hovering over everything. But there was one point of no return for me.

Spoiler:

*almost chokes to death*

I am so hooked it's not even healthy anymore. The only bad thing is that I have not many chapters left to read anymore.

I'm currently catching up to this.
And wow.
Everyone should read this.

Finished catching up. This comic is really good stuff. I love it's whole take on creationism and the unique lore within its setting. I have alot of favorite characters. I'd be lying if I said there was a character I disliked. I feel like I don't have much to say about with without talking to someone one-on-one about it, but here's a bit I wrote elsewhere about one particular character that stands out for me. Robby the Robo.

Hidden:

First of all, he appears very differently compared to the other robots. His swag hoodie for instance. It gives me the impression that he wants to appear more like a human. Secondly he reveres Kat as an angel, when she's really just a really talented engineer. I'm not sure if this all started from him, but recent chapter leads me to believe he's feeding the other robots this misconception that became popular with the other robots. Why "angel" , and not "god"? That's because the orignal creator has long died, along with the ambition that drove him to create to begin with. Perhaps Robby now sees him as a fallen god.

Now I'm wondering what his motives are. Which is interesting here. He's the only robot in the court that shows that he does have motives, and I think that's unique and perhaps his most dangerous trait. I'm not going to go any further with theories now as I'm afraid what I'd expect would be too cliche, or worse... "have expectations". Ew. Having expectations is lousy. If anything, I'd hate for him to suddenly become evil. There has to be more black and white to it.

This comic is also filled with pairings.
Which is nice. I like romance.
At one point I was pushing for Surma and Kat, but I realized the author probably has not intend for that. Their friendship is too cute tho.

Well, Kat's appereance in Zimmy-vision in the "Divine" chapter was rather angel like... :S

Haha, I'm guessing you mean Annie and Kat? :) Surma is Annie's mother.
I love Tom's ship-teasing/sinking myself... ;P Always fun when people start freaking out over stuff like that.

Yeah, that was really freaky.

And yes.. Annie I meant. Geez. I started mixing them up when she started acting more like her mom during that one moment.
So Tom teases eh?
Oh well. I been teased by Hussie. I can handle this.

[Silence]

Tom DEFINITELY teases, especially with Annie & Kat. Stop being such a tease Tom!

[Sarfallet]

One of my favorite moments were when, at page 927, the Jack and Annie ship seemed to be about confirmed... And this one person on the forums freaked out. Since his/her ship, Annie and Kat, thus would be sunken. Which at the very least were a crime against humanity in her/his book. Leading to a long rant and a declaration to stop reading the comic.
Next page? The Jack and Annie ship is already at the bottom of the sea. Hahaha.
Hilarious. :) Although I kinda feel a little bad for the poster.

Tried out the first ten chapters so far:
Eh...
Cons: Pacing's really quick and sometimes leaves me wanting more (thought this can be argued to be a good thing as opposed to being sluggish as hell).
Animony's starting to grow on me but at first I thought she was going to be bland.

Pros: The artwork.
The setting.
The cast.
If GC was a video game I'd go off the main storyline as soon as I could and explore each and every place I could.

The artwork kinda bugged me at the start, but when him appeared I knewn I should read just for the awesomeness; then the artwork improved a lot. The pacing is like that at the start, but it gets better as it goes.

I fuckin' love this guy.

The pacing and story have now vastly improved.
The only downside is that Annie is clearly 'The One' but not all stories can be about the average person now can they?
Also Coyote's pretty cryptic when he doesn't smile.
