I really liked last week's Vice and Luna, but this one kind of fell flat, IMO. The joke that nerds are so weird for needlessly obsessing over their fandom is old. I also don't like the detail that Blume doesn't get why he's so into it. Come on, she's a nerd too. Even if she personally doesn't like standing in line to see 5 seconds of new content for her fandom, surely she would GET it. Why is she going to a convention if she doesn't at least accept other people like standing in line and wading through crowds for pop culture? Lastly, I think it's boringly stereotypical that the woman gets the voice of reason role, and the guy is the one being so weird and whacky. It'd be funnier, and better thematically for a fandom comic, if unexpectedly, Blume decided to join Perry in obsessing in line.

Why is Rey in that clip a fairy? I mean they're getting the same movie as us humans right? Shouldn't she be a human... unless... do the Fairies make the same movies as we do at the same time stealing the data (such as scripts and character designs) from us humans? Because thats the only thing I can think of...

I feel you on that, this one is the last little bit of setup we had to do before bringing the storyline home over the next handful of strips.
I would say that Blume isn't making an anti-nerd argument, she's making an argument for fun over "glory". |

Relate to those feelings of the glory.
 Especially when there is an event live-streaming at late hours of the night. I could have just slept and wait for highlights, but I just need to watch it live!

Hah, first, thank you for catching that - that was the result of a miscommunication between myself and the artist. It's supposed to just be leaked footage of the same film humans get - the fairies run the human internet and are exposed to all of our pop culture, and thus their own culture is influenced heavily by ours. The image has been fixed - thanks for the eagle eye! |

I doubt even the most enthusiastic con-goer would go so far as spending more than three days waiting out in the street just to get temporary tattoos, let alone potentially-leaked footage of a show.

The artist really needs to study proportions more. Blume looks too blocky. I get that they're fairies or whatever and might have different proportions, but it's down to the point where the shirt is just a straight line. Granted, I don't expect this work to be anything as polished as the artwork in "Noblesse", but it makes the artist in me cringe when I look at some of the artwork in this particular comic. Honestly would rather you make this a bi-monthly or monthly comic if that would improve the overall visual quality and punchiness of this comic.
Didn't find this particular comic funny, enlightening or amusing. As indicated earlier in this thread, the concept of the "true fan" has been hashed out. True fans will be beaten out every day and twice on Sunday by anyone who has money and/or connections. |
