Roommates Webcomic: Post parte isa (part 1)

[blackruzsa]

Introducing a webcomic for people who, like myself, enjoy seeing multiple characters of many fandoms living in an apartment together. It's spawned, I believe, two spinoffs.

Kind of like with the manly men comic, but with characters from

Pirates of the Carribean
Les Miserables
The Phantom of the Opera
Lord of the Rings
Good Omens
The Labyrinth
Sweeney Todd

And more recently, but just VERY recently, Doctor Who and House.

And to begin, we open with our four main characters:

James Norrington (PotC)
Javert (Les Mis)
Jareth (Labyrinth)
Erik (The Phantom of the Opera.... no seriously, that's who he is)

The thing about them... yes, if you realized, they are the villains and the failed in their own universes, coddled and well loved in form of a painfully adorable and hilarious webcomic.

There are many things in this webcomic...






Yes.












The French vs. The English






And thoughts on villain redemption.





.... And Phantom trauma?



.... The angel and the sauntered-vaguely downwards demon.



.... And Little People.




Yes, that's Gavroche.

And there are those days having the same actor can cause some confusion.






And some Artful Dodger. Wait...




And Legolas, according to James Norrington's perspective.




And.... um... karaoke night.

It's as bad as you think it is.










And the adventures of children.




Meat pies!




It's all quite silly, but it gets sillier.

And more serious, but also sillier.

Oh, and, uh, there is slash involved later. Not remotely what you're thinking.

WARNING, SLASH:




There'll be a story eventually. I promise.

This is just an opening post. We'll see if people agree to it like I do, IDK. I have a weakness for musicals.

Oh, I'm sold. This is has all the fun and snark of 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' with none of the gore or squick :D (I do love 'League,' but it's not exactly a fluffy read). I can't even start to fathom how the creator arrived at this particular combination of characters, but it's great :)

[blackruzsa]

I do love the combination (though I haven't watched The Labyrinth) and I found it by... well, by a crusade to find Les Miserables slash.

There's more fun when you read it through, and it's on a zombie apocalypse arc right now with Doctor Who.

[kiev4am]

Zombie apocalypse? Hee - I've only read the above scans, but I already know I'd love Rick Grimes to have a cameo here so that fun can be made of his world-class grimness :D (I love The Walking Dead, but not so much that I wouldn't laugh at a parody!)

Deranged, and fluffier than a sheep wrapped in candy floss, but highly enjoyable nevertheless.

[blackruzsa]

Indeed. <3

This and it's sister strip girls next door are my favorite fan comics ever! They just plain make me happy.

[shanejayell]

Link? Sounds cute.

Girls next door

Here's the first page from 'Girls Next Door' - basically the 'What if Christine and Sarah were roommates' side of things. To be honest, I like GND better, but I can't judge it fairly, since I've barely read Roommates. From what I've seen, I think the girl's seem more sensical in GND, and the fanservice is less cloying (again, IMHO). And the aaaart~

Re: Girls next door

[blackruzsa]

I remember hearing about it as a spinoff.... there are two, GND and something else, I forget.

I need to start up xD GND seems fun.

I'm actually rereading it right now since your post kicked that up in my head. Still not too bad to reread again. Thankfully the parts that make me cringe are few and far between (though I totally think that Dr. Frankenfurter would have never been defeated the way they defeated hir.)

Ammagawd, I love the snow queen Darkness storylines. If there is ONE reason to read this, its for the appearances of the snow queen as Jereth's judgmental and overbearing mother.

[venneh]

Girls Next Door is my favorite of the two. Love all the cameos she's been able to work in (Good Omens! Game of Thrones! Legend! too many other ones to list!), and the development that's been coming as of late, and the acknowledgement of the sequel to PotO as a major plot point.

Start here.

[salinea]

this is cute, a bit confusing at times, but very cute.

[q99]

I like the concept, but I'm not familiar enough with some of the references in visiting characters (like the same-actors things, outside of Orlando Bloom)/don't always recognize characters off the bat.

[salinea]

that's one of my problem with this as well even if I still recognize a few of them.

[blackruzsa]

Those are the hazards of comics like this and Manly Men, but since I recognize most, it's hilarious for me.

Also, the Phantom was Gerard Butler. :3

[q99]

Manly Guys doing Manly Thing has plenty of reference characters, but the jokes don't rely quite as much on your pre knowledge of them. Their version of manliness is normally readily apparent :)

[kaete]

These characters seem to have nothing in common with their movie/play characters, though. So you're probably not really missing out much.

[darkblade]

I want to like this but I can't accept Javert living in such close proximity to Jareth and the Phantom and not arrest them out right.

[blackruzsa]

Well they are leaving their personal problems at the door.

There's actually an arc there where they revert to their original selves, except that James Norrington was still a reasonable person so he helped them snap out of it.

*thumbs up*

Nice!

GOOD OMENS!
Words cannot fully express how much I LOVE Good Omens.
What I've seen from this comic is pretty good, but OHMYGODGOODOMENS.
