Well, we are slowly getting more angelic plots, what with that angry angel who killed the rapists showing up and all. Not to mention the way he dealt with Sheldon, and helped with Bert.

Aw, now Emily and her mother's relationship will improve thanks to this new found common fondness for classic Mustangs.
Huh
. Really should have seen that coming, but...huh.
But he did confirm angels can have children with humans but shouldn't, which leads more weight to the theory that rebellious Raemiel is Logan's father (Logan's the guy who can see angels, right?).

Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.Having come by the page in a wick clean up, I'd like to ask that the fans do a good sweep of the page. There's a lot of Natter and fandom mentions on the page.
Fight smart, not fair.I would like this comic more if the author shut the fuck up about his supposedly awful life. Seriously, all he does is whine or ask for money. Also, the pace of this comic is fucking glacial, at FIVE strips a week. Looks to be picking up with the reintroduction of... Er, James, I think. Anyway, my two cents.
I think you guys have to accept that Misfile is in essence a slice of life comic, not some sprawling fantasy epic. Personally I find the Angel arcs somewhat offputting, as they tend to be worse written than most of the comic and Vash is a really boring character.
I think that the Author realizes that he has a fairly good thing going with the comic as it is, and can't think of a way of changing the status quo without basically begining the end of the comic. So for the moment I am fairly happy to read it as slice of life. It would be nice however to see small incremental progress on Ash/Emily and Rumisiel's concience. We do get this to some degree, but it still feels like the reset button gets pressed after every arc.
What do you want Bronn? Gold? Women? Golden Women?Yeah; even Big Bang Theory is less stagnant at this point. To be perfectly honest, I've been reading the comic since...oh jeeze, I think it was book nine? And I can honestly say that I can't really name any changes that've happened since then. I dropped College Roomies from Hell! for the exact same reason; maybe it's time to move on from this comic too.
deviantArt | TwitterYou can have a slice of life where things change sometimes. I mean, it doesn't make any sense at all that Ash and Emily aren't together. They have already established that they care about each other regardless of the misfile. Ash is being stubborn because... well, because.
The angel stuff just happens far too infrequently to be a compelling plot. It involves characters we barely know, and Ash doesn't have any clue about them for the most part, so it's just a waste of time that they could be using for... well, nothing. At this point, "spinning their wheels" is not just a euphemism; when things are slow, they have a race, and that lets them just go through the motions for awhile longer.

I feel pretty much the same way, myself; why bother sticking with a comic that doesn't go anywhere?
Yeah, the "will they/won't they" stuff has long since worn out its welcome. At this point, the comic needs to either have the two get together, or provide a strong, convincing argument as to why the relationship won't work. (And quite honestly, I'd be happy with either outcome.)
And yeah, "spinning its wheels" really is the best description of the current state of the comic.

Kate ships James/Ash, and completely whiffs her "gaydar" perception check, Rumisiel wants to please Ash, but is not good with talking to other men, and Cassiel is willing to have sex with James to bug her ex.
Perhaps we could have a third person show up on James' doorstep who has never appeared before, but is also someone he doesn't get along with, to have more subplots. :-P
Fortunately I don't see James agreeing. Not only he'd feel used, but I doubt he'd want to antagonize Rumsiel for not wanting to antagonize him... and Operation: Jealousy is a bad cliché.
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."Meh, I'm used to it. It's mostly a) for me because I honestly can't remember the last time the main plot actually moved forwards any. It just feels like a nonstop train of sidequests, you know?

Rumisiel always gets called out when he tries to moralize, so I don't think it's too bad, though the consistancy of that device is getting a little old.
