[[redirect:Webcomic/{{Anti-Heroes}}]]

to:

[[redirect:Webcomic/{{Anti-Heroes}}]]'''''[[http://antiheroescomic.com/comic/first anti-HEROES]]''''' is a {{webcomic|s}} created by Jordan Quigley that has since been taken over by two others, and now has a much quicker update schedule.

The story starts out with a group of adventurers; Andil, an elven fighter who is competent enough to be incompetent; Xavier, a human who is (probably?) a ranger; Laldera, a human sorceress, and Lana, a human rogue. These are The Heroes.

Of course, there's a reason the comic is called '''''anti'''-HEROES''. Within the first few strips, Lana gets herself killed in a trap Andil shoved her into (though he probably didn't realize it); in typical ''D&D'' fashion, her allies loot her corpse and leave her behind. One strip later, she becomes much more competent when a mysterious necromancer in a fully concealing cloak resurrects her as a vampire. Originally shocked and upset, Lana ends up following him anyway, thus beginning the title team of anti-heroes. Eventually joining her and the necromancer are an incompetent illusionist ghost named Kaalinor, his equally incompetent ghost buddy [[EnsembleDarkhorse Frank]], and a tiefling ranger named Keriss.

Oh, and before we forget to mention, it proudly proclaims to be a fancomic for ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''.

Also, as of Strip 219, the author has finally confessed that he can't continue to do the comic anymore. As of January 29th, 2011, he has narrowed down two options for his fans to vote for: 1, that he simply releases all his notes, future characters, plot points and secrets (à la ''Webcomic/ChainmailBikini''), or 2, that he finds another artist to carry on with the comic. The fanbase overwhelmingly voted for Option 2.

And from Strip 220 onwards, Team Dypen (consisting of Giant in the Playround members Dyluth and leakingpen) has officially taken over. General consensus among the fanbase is that so far, they're doing a great job. Dyluth handles creating all of the art, and the primary scriptwriting is handled by leakingpen, whose real name is Alexander Hollins. Other writing of his can be found at www.dreamfantastic.com.
