Crossroad: Legends and Tales

That has yet to be substantiated with a true, factual origin story...

There are things Coldworth said that weren't true?!?

Only just about everything, at least in regards to his dozen or so origin stories.

You, sir, have blown my mind.

So, are animations going to be a thing with Excalibur then?

I'm experimenting with them. If they work out well I might make it a regular thing.

Hmm... after seeing several updates, I think Crossroad's limbs are just too spindly. It's kind of freaky.

In other news, she doesn't quite seem to be talking like herself. I wonder if she's possessed.

If you were freaked out by the spinly arms before, then you don't really want to look at today's comic

Though, I think the animation effect worked really well in that last panel today.

A shocking turn of events.

Wait wait wait...

Excalibur turns people into The King of Cold? Just not exclusive to ice puns.

Coldular's weaves icy homographs, near-homographs, and words-that-you-can-kind-of-see-where-he's-coming-from-but-really-aren't-homographs into his words. Occasionally they're homophones too, but for a lot of them you'd expect them to pretty awkward to articeulate as actual speech.

Crossroad used a straight up pun though, which is pretty different. If anything, it seems more like the kind of joke Shadehawk might make than The King of Ice.

What, no hot lesbian sex? For shame! Brian K. Vaughan must surely be rolling in his grave now....if he was dead I mean.

I'm sure that can be arranged.

Well there's always the opportunity for after-fight sex.

Oh hey, tails that don't overshoot their speech bubbles! But also larger text out of nowhere...

Okay, I know we have several colorblind people on this forum. Do any of them think this interior looks good?

Not especially, but then maybe it's more fashionable in the future?

Or maybe you need to wear 3D glasses to really appreciate it.

So Excalibur makes people unstoppable, has lightning powers, and makes you change your title shortly after picking it up and keeping it? ...Sounds more like Balmung.

...Which is a reference no one is going to get.

I guess Crossroad Crusade has the sense to hold on to her Infinity+1 Sword, unlike Shadehawk or Frosty.

Who cares about balance, eh?

I liked this story! And I felt the art style came together more as it went on.
