The Summoner

An ogre looms over a man and says “Why have you summoned me, oh man?”

the man, looking up at the ogre: I, uh, didn't. I was just smoking weed and listening to metal. I even lit a candle to cover the smell.

the ogre: You played the infernal cords, burned the sacred herbs, and lit the unholy candle.

man: aw man those emails my aunt keeps forwarding me were right

Suze: I was thinking about how you were talking about how we needed more clients and I was like “who is someone who did a lot of bad stuff and probably needs legal representation?” And then it hit me!

Eddie Bloomberg: But you’re still going to help me do it, right?
Zachary Zatara: Yes, but only because I feel like if you go by yourself things are going to go more wrong. Somehow.

Zachary Zatara: I can’t believe I have to explain this but going to hell and selling your soul to the devil in exchange for superpowers is a bad idea.

If You Wanna Be My Lover, You Gotta Get With My Friends: a comic that’s definitely not just a riff on Scott Pilgrim. Hey, this suddenly became one of those “two guys on a couch” comics.

Zachary Zatara: “Come join the Titans,” they said. “We have hot goth chicks,” they said. “You won’t be stuck in D plots with a vaguely homoromantic friendship with a wannabe demon until he loses his powers and gets blown up,” they said.
