The White Trees #1

[blackruzsa]

A queer high fantasy tale about old dads picking up their weapons to find their kids decades after leaving The Life.

(also: long time no see, everyone! It's been years since I posted)


It begins decades after the heroes' adventures have ended. The king asks them to go on another mission to save their abducted children. But our hero wants nothing to do with that life.



Even with his son's life at stake, Krylos says he won't go looking. Still, his adventuring companions prep to leave to find the kids. 


Battle husbands~!!! Awww. 

Krylos shows up, all broody like. They travel and investigate the place their kids were last seen and find some strange details that don't all add up (and also that Dahvlan's ex, Windlo's mom, knew all about the affair).



They move on, following the blood from the cabin.

Also they meet a dragon. 



And uh... other things happen that justify the mature rating :P 

It's definitely worth the read for the post Tolkien/DND-esque manly man adventuring company becoming gruff dads who also happen to be LGBTQ+ 

And the art is gorgeous! 

I definitely went straight to the closest comic book store just to get this issue. Next one's coming soon!

The moment I saw it, I immediately wanted to buy it :P And it got racier than I expected! But dang it's good.

[remial]

did that dragon just nope the fuck out after looking the old dude in the eye?

[blackruzsa]

I didn't post the next page because of limits but I believe old dude with the eye chose not to attack so the dragon was surprised

And I believe he cut the dragon loose right after, but I gotta check back :P

[werehawk]

Yep, he cut the dragon loose and the other guys said he was crazy.

[stubbleupdate]

This is only a two shot, isn't it?

[blackruzsa]

Yep :'( definitely getting it as a TPB as well as issues.

And uh... other things happen that justify the mature rating :P


What other things...

*checks out book*

... oh my. The proportions are a bit off, but then again, none of the protagonists are human, are they? But whoa, that one guy looks like he's to below hung to his knees... flaccid.

[blackruzsa]

Heheh

To be fair they were like... magic sex demons with magic genital enhancement (probably)

Having read the full issue and thought about it...I'm actually a bit disappointed. It just seems like the storyline is so rushed--all these little details are thrown out here and there but it's so compressed that I found myself saying "Slow down! Take your time with these scenes!"

[blackruzsa]

I get what you mean, and I think it's because it's only a two parter? But my hope is that if it does well, there's incentive to make more and flesh it out :)

Dude! Are you, perchance, on Tumblr these days?

[blackruzsa]

Heck yeah I am
