Battlepug - Moll

I want you to picture  if you will the saga of Conan the Barbarian.  A story of revenge, of sorcery, and of great deeds set during a time when wearing shirts was out of fashion.  A story of a man who forged himself into a weapon of vengeance under the chains of slavery and whose only weapons against the horrors and injustices of the world are his strong sword arm and his keen battle instinct.

Now imagine that the thing that destroyed the main characters village and killed his mother was a giant baby seal, the people who enslaved him are Santa and his elves, and the warrior's most faithful companion and steed is a pug the size of a horse.  Now you have a pretty good idea what you're getting yourself into when reading Battlepug: an irreverent homage to everything Robert E. Howard that simultaneously takes the piss out of the entire genre while being a pretty good example of how this kind of story should be written. (first comic)

Moll

Moll is the narrator of the series, which is told as a story to entertain the two talking lap dogs who occupy the castle tower with her.  What her connection to "the warrior" is and why she's in a tower with two talking dogs is a mystery for most of the series.

The Hunters of Salamanstra - Kessah

Edit:  Oi, how'd you get archived?  Scoot!  Back out into the world!


Across the kingdom of Salamanstra mysterious Black Gates have begun to open, unleashing hellish creatures by the score.  To combat this threat guilds of "Hunters" were formed, skilled men and women trained to fight the monsters no-one else could hope to face.  However even the best efforts of the bravest hunters is proving not enough to stem this nightmarish tide and the chances of humanity's survival are far from certain... (first page)

Kessah

Kessah is a young girl who always wanted to be a hunter but was strictly by her older sister to even consider it.  Much to Kessah's shock she's told that her sister was herself was a hunter and that she has has fallen while trying to seal one of the Black Gates on her own.  Now Kessah seeks to finally become a hunter herself and to perhaps find out why her sister forbade her from following the same path as her.

How rude!  Don't some people know it's impolite to throw daggers in a girl's room?
