This any good? What are some nice /tg/ fantasy comics out there? Other than Rogers' DnD

It's a good one, the art and storytelling are better than most.

For Fantasy, I would go for french BD. The Forest of Opal, Lanfeust, Quest of the Bird of time are all pretty good in they own way.
For American comics, no one has toped Artesia yet, with all his faults and being abandoned it had top tier worldbuilding and a very grounded art.

I didn't realize these were in comic form, too.

The last one it's getting better every episode.
Who would have tought it.

>Elves/Dwarves/Orks (published by Soleil)
Note: Elves and Dwarves happen in the same setting at various periods throughout, while Orks is it's own thing and apparently much harder to find.

Also Fires of Askell abruptly ends on a massive cliffhanger with no hope of new material, so read at your own risk .

Here's a thing with the harder to find stuff:

Early Savage Sword of Conan volumes. Old-school but top-notch stories lifted from Howard.

Its alright. Does a contemporary grimdark fantasy update of the psychedelic fantasy in the original. Some of it is interesting interpretations, some of it less so.

The Mouseguard comics are pretty /tg/. Kirby's New Gods run, most of 2000AD Dredd/Warlock/Slain, the Books of Magic run, Enki Bilal, Druillet and mobius are all good for different flavours of inspiring landscapes and worlds. Hellboy/BPRD are fun and have a lot to draw on and are linked to other nerd materials. The Prophet remake by Graham is some good shit, Orc Stain by Stokoe.

The Mercenary series by Vicente Segrelles is awesome. For your barbarian needs, there's years and years of Conan. If you want to see bunnies slicing each other with katanas that have been folded 1,000 times, there's Usagi Yojimbo. If you want to see dudes slicing each other with katanas that have been folded 1,000 times, there's Lone Wolf and Cub or Samurai Executioner.

Pretty good, but manages to miss the point about Elric fairly monumentally.

>>55223615
How's that? I wondered to buy those comics just to finally get in touch with moorkock's work, since they never were properly translated into my native language (there was really shitty translation back in the early nineties but it was basically unreadable, and is long out of print), and the comics are actually translated, and even if would be not, they don't require as much language proficiency as reading whole books in english.
>>
>>55223903
When the first part came out the general consensus was that it was the most faithful adaptation of Moorcock's series into comic book form. Even Moorcock said as much. Hell, Moorcock probably still says as much.

However, the issues that have been pointed out since the second part came out, and which in hindsight were around already in the first part, is that Elric is far too inhuman. In the books he starts out as a humanist who's mistrusted by his people because he treats humans as equals and in many ways admires the Young Kingdoms, and who slowly turns into a soul stealing vampire that brings destruction wherever he goes as the series progresses. In the comics he's already a soul stealing vampire before the story even starts and happily kills an entire human family in the name of his god.

In fact, if you've only read the comic, it would be easy to assume that the only thing that differentiates Elric from other Melnibonéans is that he's capable of feeling genuine love. That was not the case in the books. Melnibonéans were very much capable of loving other Melnibonéans, but they felt nothing for humans.

This is true but, i believe people are a bit too quick to judge this particular series.>>55223615
Because what people don't get is that unlike original Elric, this is actually being thought of with a clear plot and character progression in mind.
The Elric at the start of Ruby Throne wouldn't give two shits about Moonglum but we all know that it's going to be a major development for the character and he will change with his experiences of the outside world instead of the bubble that was Imryr.
>>55223903
Download the original comics if you want a fairly accurate depiction of OG Elric.

Or buy them. Titan is doing a glorious rerelease of them in hardcover editions. Russel's Dreaming City makes me cum buckets every time i pick it up.

There's 'The Spire' which has a nice planescape feel.

Also 'Prince of Satar' is semi-official Glorantha webcomic. It's nice, kinda Conan-esque action.

I don't know if that's awesome or depressing.

My favourite sidekick of Elric. Too bad he suffered from the Elric Sidekick Syndrome as well.

I prefer Corum over Elric.
