\"ElfQuest\"<\/p>\n

I was surprised to stumble across a Boing Boing post about ElfQuest<\/a> today. I may be dating myself, but I know friends around my age really got into this set of indie comics back in our intermediate school days. I know it wasn’t totally original (I assume the likes of Tolkien heavily influenced these stories), but for me, it was one of my own fantasy art\/story influences.<\/p>\n

Back before there was games like EverQuest and World of Warcraft made millions of people think about elves and trolls, this comic book series was the THE thing I tell ya! It had cool characters, violence, sexy elf chicks, drama. What more could you ask for?<\/p>\n

I used to save up for weeks to pick up their expensive colored graphic novels. And now I find they have the entire series online for FREE?!<\/a> Wha wha WHAAAT?!<\/p>\n

I don’t know if it’s just one of those things where if I re-read this now years later it won’t be as good as I remember it, but if you kinda like the fantasy genre and you’ve never read this before, I’d give it a shot\u2026read the first issue or two and let me know if you get as hooked as I was years ago?<\/p>\n

God I could only wish that someone like Peter Jackson could do this series justice in a motion picture.<\/p>\n

Yes I know. I totally outgeeked myself today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
