Legends from Darkwood: The Unicorn Hunters

[q99]

The Last Unicorn post earlier immediately brought to mind another Unicorn comic, Legends from Darkwood. Which also has unicorn population problems.




Meet Raynd, the world's only Unicorn Hunter.


We start out with our heroine, Rose, who's playing in the fields by the woods. She loves unicorns, they're her favorite things in the world, but she's never seen one before, until...


He's hurt! Rose does what she can to bandage the black unicorn.

However, unicorns don't just get wounded on their own. Someone wounds them. Someone who's back to finish the job. Enter Raynd.

Less shadowy, she takes aim.


Raynd gives her a kind word before departing with the kill.


Ouch.


Next: Infrastructure. And Rose has a plan.

Took me a while to work out that that shadowy shape in the third scan is supposed to be the same person as in the fourth and fifth, since they look so little alike.

[q99]

I think I can fix that with a small edit.

So I take it the unicorns are overpopulated and she's culling the herd, right?

[q99]

Unicorns are very valuable and she likes being rich.

The economics of the situation are addressed later. No, seriously, they are :)

I like reading/working on a step in the middle of my favorite horse's turnout, and he'll sneak up behind me to whuffle my hair. Makes me jump like a foot in the air, but he thinks its funny. The bottom panel of the first scan reminded me of that, and my heart immediately melted.

Then, you know, I read the rest of it. v.v

That's because he's right, it *is* funny ^^

;_;

Rose sympathizes.

Poor Rose

That's...a life shattering moment if there was one. Rose is gonna need therapy. =/

So I take it there's no repercussions for killing a unicorn (i.e. mystical karmic backlash)?

Re: Poor Rose

[q99]

No mystic ones, no. Other repercussions? Perhaps.

Some of those repercussions might go by the name 'Rose'.

As for therapy, you don't yet know the half of it :)

First reaction: Aerith, what did that unicorn ever do to you?

[q99]

Cloud: "Aerith, why do you wear pink?"

Aerith: "It makes the horned meat-ponies let their guard down!"

Cloud: "...."

I didn't need those childhood dreams after all..... :'(

[cainofdreaming]

Love the cover. The colors are really nice too, so, umm, is the rest of the series b/w or does the artist start coloring it later on?

[q99]

It's all B&W

I dunno about huntin' no unicorns, but Raynd looks pretty cool, and so does her gun.
