Over in the funnies section of our blogroll, Order of the Stick sure has taken a dark turn over the past couple of weeks, hasn’t it? That latest one is particularly jarring when you mix the strip’s normal tone (which Xykon is maintaining) with what is going on there.
For those of you who have not been reading Order of the Stick, I recommend it. You can see the first strip here, and you have a few years’ worth to read as you catch up. I read a few hundred in a weekend, and if you have never watched an entire season on DVD over a couple of days, it is awesome.

Order of the Stick is … awesome.
I haven’t read it in ages, as in about a year or so. I have to set aside some time to catch up. :)
Oots rules and Rich Burlew should be deified.
It is a bit dark this last time. However, as this is a comic about them, you have to know that the Hero Rule that I teach my kids when we go to the movies will be invoked, i.e. Good Guys Always Win in the End.
Assuming it’s not a horror movie…
