(Note: Lagend recently changed its name to 70 Seas. I’ve fixed the links to reference the correct pages. However, the entire review remains the same. Since I’m far too lazy to do a simple find-and-replace, the comic in the review will still be referred to as Lagend. — E.S., 10/09)
I’m sure that out there, somewhere, there’s a certain subset of Webcomic Overlook readers going: “Yarrr! This be a fine site. But whar be the review about pirate webcomics? I’d walk the plank to find me a good pirate webcomic, sez I.” If you’re asking that question, likely your name ends in “-beard” or it’s Talk Like A Pirate Day again and you’re showing way too much pirate-y spirit. That’ll teach me not to mark that day off on my Microsoft Outlook!
Almost a year ago, I reviewed Here There Be Robots back over at the Comic Fencing site. To be fair, however, that comic was less a pirate comic than a parody about pirates. (Seriously, what can you expect from aliens dressed up as pirates fighting robots dressed up as pirates?) If it’s swashbuckling high seas adventure you were looking for, you might come off a bit disappointed.
Fortunately, there do exist some very good pirate themed webcomics out there, including the subject of this week’s review: Lagend by Nick Daniel. There is a catch, though: the characters are all furries.
“Avast! Ye take me for a fursuiter, do ye? How would ye like to feel the cold, point tip of me cutlass, landlubber?”
Relax, buddy. Hard as it is to believe, furry comics aren’t just about creepy pervy fantasies anymore!
