New comic: The Mighty Nein Origins: Acquired Taste, for Free Comic Book Day 2025!

Beau and Caleb get a tip that an individual they are searching for will be at a meeting at the Taste of Tal'Dorei in Bassuras. When they arrive, the pair are surprised to be treated to some dinner theater and decor themed around a legendary band of adventurers from the area. They get entranced by the story, even experiencing it themselves, only to be interrupted by some interesting new faces entering the restaurant...

Releasing on Free Comic Book Day: May 2, 2025!

Re-imagining the cover of Nott’s origin comic.

Still getting the hanging of layout and and titles and colours but I think it’s kinda fun, and pushed me to actually make a big piece traditionally

If i was smarter than i currently am, i would write a long and thoughtful passage about parallels between Caduceus and Fjord, the weight of responsibility on their shoulders, placed there from a very young age, about family (Via blood and otherwise) and its importance, involuntary loneliness and enduring hardship all by yourself, concluding with the fact that they discovered kinship and family within each other which is really no surprise after all. But sadly, i'm not, so for now i'm gonna lament amazing dynamic that they had, which seems to be lost and forgotten by most in favour of other more romance leaning relationships. A shame, really. Will always be one of my favourites, this one.

Fjord & Jester // on Adventure and Finding Home

I want to explore the world. I want to see the lands we haven’t seen. I want to find things that people are scared of and solve them or do whatever anyone else needs to do. But – I hope she’s a part of that.

"I am terrified of the world, and terrified of what it could do to you, even now. But I don't want that for you. And I know you will never be satisfied to stay in one spot. So, just promise me this. Promise me you will find people you trust. People who love you just as much as I do, okay?"

"I will. I promise."

I love this panel so much because I can just hear it SO clearly in Taliesin's voice.

I find it very interesting that one of the first words/things that Molly say and seemingly remembers after he joins the circus is 'cat', specifically while looking at a black cat.

It may actually mean nothing but my first thought while reading the comic was that it was a memory vaguely resurfacing of Cree.

I've seen people say that it's a reference to Caleb and the Mighty Nein 'taking in strays' but it happens so early on in Molly's path to regaining a sense of self, essentially a time where he was closer to being Lucien than the Mollymauk we know and love that my immediate thought was that it was a vague memory of Cree. Especially since the Lucien novel tells us that Lucien and Cree were childhood friends. It would make some level of sense then that Molly would see a black cat and make a connection, even if he can't fully explain it. I may be completely wrong but I thought it was quite cool!
