The comic consists of four arcs which follow the adventures of Maxim, a young man seeking his fame and fortune by joining a guild. Thanks in no small part to his unusual heritage, he winds up saving the world. Not only once, but twice.
The comics themselves are well executed, with good characterization, genuinely funny moments, and, in spite of a sudden shift in mood halfway through, a remarkably consistent myth arc. Tropers will probably enjoy the occasional lampshade hung on various {{RPG}} and {{Fantasy}} cliches.

<<|NotableFantasyWebcomics|>>
The comic is also infamous for having been canceled, then uncanceled, then canceled, then uncanceled, then canceled yet again, then uncanceled. Squidi once said he would not finish it, as he didn't like [[CreatorBreakdown the direction it had taken]], but in a recent ''[[http://www.squidi.net/blog/2010/2010.06.php#06.10.10 blog entry]]'' he claimed that he would be reviving it once again. The fourth chapter has recently concluded, and [[http://www.squidi.net/blog/2011/2011.10.php#10.28.11 the fifth chapter is "coming one day".]]
The comic consists of four arcs which follow the adventures of Maxim, a young man seeking his fame and fortune by joining a guild. Thanks in no small part to his unusual heritage, he winds up saving the world. Not only once, but twice.
The comics themselves are well executed, with good characterization, genuinely funny moments, and, in spite of a sudden shift in mood halfway through, a remarkably consistent myth arc. Tropers will probably enjoy the occasional lampshade hung on various {{RPG}} and {{Fantasy}} cliches.
