Going from Bad to Worse: The Comic
You bastards storytimed this and Beauty and made me love them
Gimmie similar recommendations please
>>87322013
The ending of this was so fucking infuriating.
>>87322119
I was just going to say that.
Like, from a narrative perspective, it just stops.
It had the chapter arc stories, but there wasn't an overall story with a resolution.
Did they just get bored with it? Was there another chapter that they just didn't do?
>>87322082
What's Beauty about?
I appreciate that it showed off how awful women can be to each other.
>>87322082
Beautiful Darkness
>>87322190
The writer/artists are still active, so it's still possible for them to make a continuation.

>>87322382
It's like a fairy tale, an ugly girl saves a fairy who grants her wish to be beautiful
Which has unforseen consequences.
It pretty much runs over her entire life, great read

Why would someone do this to a comic?
>>87322741
I'm glad that whenever someone gets too preachy about something they have something horrible happen to them.

That was cool.
Reminds me of a much more grim version of the fairies from Humanity has Declined.

Ha ha.
Link for Beauty?
>>87325066
She was kind of a cunt at the end, but that was more of a product of the times than anything else.
She also could have tried a little harder to make amends with the prostitutes earlier, but it probably wouldn't have helped much.

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP MAKING BARGAINS WITH FAE?!
>>87325423
Thank you sir
>>87322013
Is there any more from afterShe lets her gay sugardaddy get lobotomized
>>87322013
is she jelly that the men wont touch her?
>>87326045
Nope. She's looking for the guy that killed her sister and a couple other women so she sneaks into a "high class" brothel.
I'm reading Beauty right now and really liked this panel so I cleaned it up a bit.
>>87326027
Nope. And it was released years ago. I think the story is pretty much done for them.
>>87327569
Damn. Can I get this resized as a wallpaper?
>>87327868
The original was only like, 1000x600, and kind of grainy.
It's simplistic enough, you could try to find someone to vector it.
>>87322082
>>87322785
So good, and so terrible for you. Reading them is like eating the world's finest cake, made with ground glass.
I really appreciate artists that can make that jump from a simple style to a complex panel.
>>87324202
I liked his Last days of an immortal too. What does everybody think about it?
>>87328164
Its they. Kerascoet is a husband and wife team.

Keep on bein' great, anons.
What's he looking at, /co/?
>>87329549
Machine Code.
So I finished Beauty, and I liked it, but I guess I was expecting a different ending?Like, I feel like most Fae stories don't end with the human legitimately winning.
>>87330862
The end was awfully rushed
Similar to MDTM
>>87331098
It was a different kind of rushed, though. At least the whole story was wrapped up in Beauty.
>>87331124
yeah but the majority is pretty stretched out (nicely I might say), and thelast 40 years of her life are over in just a few pages
>>87331225
>spoiler
Yeah, that's a bit odd, but I can see why they did it.
>>87330862
They don't, that's the point.Never trust a fae, or the Devil.
>>87331295
And that's what I'm saying.Her tricking Mab was good, but everything worked out too nicely for her.
>>87331458she was a prisoner and getting raped for years, she definitely suffered for the "win"
>>87322795
They where at a certain French art show recently. They have plans on continuing and giving it an end late next year.
This is the only screencap I took that wasn't a spoiler. I'm in the "unsatisfying ending" camp as well, there's a difference between writing a "bad" ending, and writing an ending that's bad because it isn't satisfying.
>>87331828
The problem was that it wasn't really an ending. Things just stopped.
>>87331828
Blanche a cute.
>>87332224
And she's not a slut.Though she is a murderer.
Does that mean that she's still pure?
>>87332268Eh, they would have been executed anyway, I see it as fulfilling the will of the law.
>>87327569
>>87327868
waifu2x just made the jaggies bigger, vectoring would be better
>>87332457
Here's the page if anyone else wants to try.
>>87332457
Thanks. I'll probably just autistically trace every line in MS Paint if no one makes a better version before the thread dies.
Beauty was good in that her curse was also a blessing. Her daughter grew up to be plain, yet attractive, as well as having her aunts intelligence.The one queen dying shocked me though, I honestly thought she would have made a deal with Beauty.
>>87334892
Fucking aces, man.
>>87334892
Top quality. Thanks, Anon.
>>87331458
>everything worked out too nicely for herHer beloved husband was butchered and kingdom ravaged because she messed up, and she was made to be a servant who got raped nightly, and later made to live for years as a prisoner in a miserable freezing decrepit castle while continuing to get raped. Literally years of sexual slavery, I wouldn't call that "everything working out too easy"
>>87335227He couldn't rape her after the mask incident. He just locked her up and went insane. He feared her in the end.
>>87335227It's dubious to say how much she actually loved Max (or even Otto for that matter) since as soon as he pushes back on anything with her, she starts freaking the fuck out saying he doesn't love her.
And I don't think she was raped while in the decrepit tower.I just meant the stuff with Mab, anyways. There should always be a fairy gotcha moment. The rape stuff, while bad, isn't really clever or inconvenient or generally mean spirited that most fairy pranks involve. She literally ushers in a golden age for all the kingdoms involved, and fucks up Fae cairn stones and the fairy roads. That is the stuff that causes you to get some general comeuppance. Fae don't really care about balance of punishment, they're all about what they can do to you NOW.
this takes second place i guess
>>87322382
An world with an STD people wanna catch cause it turns them into a supermodel figure at the cost of merely a slight fever and high metabolismuntil people start to spontaneously combust and there are big cover-ups going on.
>>87336074
Why did you write this?
>>87335905
blah blah blah sad rich lesbians being mean to each other blah blah who gives a FUCK.
>>87335227Wasn't the guy too scared to touch her the entire time? Ever since he found out about the glamour, he was too scared to touch her at all. He just satisfied himself with looking at her and making sure no one else did.
Also, just reading it for the first time.
>Urkan....
>URKAN! URKAN!!
Holy shit.Nice.
>>87322741
Someone had to teach you that? What, did you go to an all-boys school?
>>87325066
>Who the fuck gets off killing people anyways?
Serial killers?That we know of...
>>87336273
Ah, damn.Just got th the part where she died. What a shame. She was a pretty nice person, after all.
But man, I like how the story was done. Really feels folklore-ish.
>>87336294
I didn't say that it taught me anything, just that in a lot of comics it's glossed over, or quickly remedied so that they're all best friends. It was nice to see a comic where adult women could be conniving bitches toward each other for a change.
>>87324202
Both these links just lead me to bullshit app and driver downloads.
>>87336217
Because that is the plot of The Beauty.
>>87336273
Speaking of which, what happened to him? He just kind of disappears from the story.
Can someone do a storytime?
>>87328685
I was talking about Vehlmann. Kerascoet is not in Last days of an immortal.
>>87337199
The aunt threw a spear at him and he died from getting pierced in the gut. Or are you talking about Urkan? Then yeah, the guy just disappeared. He probably got subdued by Beauty on her campaign to conquer all the territories.
>>87331721
sauce? link? details?
>>87331721
This is so good that I'm afarid to belive it.
lol
This hand nothing to The Killing Joke.
>Beauty
any place i can read this guys?
>>87324880
*tips fedora*
Thanks, Anon! Been wanting to read this with my ladyfriend.
>>87341542
Ew.
>Voyage en Satanie will never be translated
>>87337489
No one storytimes anything anymore unless it's capeshit. Sorry dude.
>>87342050
Consider it an excuse to learn French. It's not a hard language, and more useful than most.
>>87322013
Whats the story of this and how does it end
>>87342390
Read it and find out!
>>87342390
WHORE HOUSE. MURDER. ABUSE OF WOMEN BY MEN AND WOMEN. ROMANCE WITH A GAY MAN (ONE-SIDED).Brain problems.
>>87342445
i think the only friend she has now is death
>>87342445
Also men with tits.
>>87342584Kind of.
>>87342445
pdf?
>>87338948
This is a very good comic as well
>>87342666
But does it have an english translation satan?
>>87342721
Anyone ever notice that in the last like 2 years Kerascoets work is supet popular here? Why is that?
>>87342810
Paid shills, obviously.
>>87342810
Because Dan Dashly has story timed them like 30 times each.
>>87342857
bingo
>>87342810
I'm just happy when you retards stop talking cape-shit for five minutes.
>>87343015
One tripfag can't change a board's tastes though.
>>87342616The black chick is a literal man with tits. Unless you prefer the term chicks with dicks.
>>87343380
He didn't have tits, he wore a stuffed bra.
Man.That scene of Antoine just silently panicking in his room right before his operation. That's just pretty horrible.
>>87343454Fuck dude, you right. I apologize.
>>87336273
>Wasn't the guytoo scared to touch her the entire time?
No, definitely not
>>87343804That's BEFORE he found out about the glamour, anon. AFTER he found out, he got reminded of his childhood fear. He'd reach out to her, but would pull back.The page you posted was the first time he raped her. After that, he found out from Beauty's kid about the fairy spell.
>>87342584
>>87342616
>>87343380
>>87343454
>>87343602
no such thing as chicks with dicks, only men with boobs
>>87343804
That happened before he found out she had been touched by Fae's, his number 1 fear.
Bumping because I've read it all on a whim and it was awesome, now heading to amazon
>Age Range: 8-12 years
Not so sure.
Any other recommendations for art style/tone that aren't in this thread?
>>87343264
for a year now 90% of my comic reading has been between dashly and whoever did the Bellybuttons storytime last Xmas
>>87346574
>still a month away from Christmas /co/
I'm so fucking ready. Favorite time of the year on /co/.
>>87344155
same. I am very glad. Beautiful darkness fucked me up a bit, Miss don't touch me aroused me and was a wild ride.
I already knew Beauty because i had subscribed to Spirou some years back, but i didn't know the ending. it was also pretty savage.
a shame i knew Beauty, but I didn't look for more Kerascoets work sooner.
Thank you kind anons for the mediafire links.
also checked
>>87346574
Jesus man hop off that Tripfag dick
>>87347913
>on /co/
>doesn't read comics people post
What are you doing here?
>>87343264
Exposure definitely does.
I'm pretty sure half the American Fantagraphics / non-image indies /co/ remembers are due to Dashly's storytimes.
>>87346574
That would be Ouash, one of our local franco belgian BD scanlators.
Bamp.
>>87336074
It took me a moment to realize you're referring to this comic. The other anons are talking about a different comic with the same title.
>>87348690
That is giving him too much credit.
>>87350658
oh
well that clears a lot up
>>87324880
eh
it was alright
thanks for the link anyway, kind anon
