So who’s your favorite character? why?
just curious.
Also the best way to read the bean is complete or in chunks. I understand that so if your feeling lost head on back a ways and start reading in groups. This is an epic… it is how i see it and I am not writing it to be read as a daily but as a series.
Enjoy

Hmm.. I forbear but briefly to point out that the leads on draft and riding animals are reins, not reigns.
The dynamic sense of movement is great!

Bean, Siv, Ravna and Groggle. Practically all at the Silver Dagger except for Gort 🙂
Maybe because they are the first characters you meet when you begin reading the story … or maybe because you are really darn good at developing characters, Mr Hanson 🙂

The happy flowerchild and optimist in me loves Per for his mysterious air, cast-iron backbone and sensibility. The other half of me who sees Poe and Clark Ashton Smith as a jolly bit of fun loves the sinister, fractured and insane mind of The Collector and loves the rhyming.

I KNOW I wrote Siv and not Per last night, and now when I check again it says Per, For Shame!

Siv, like I've said before, my kind of character!
Least favourite: rhyming troll. The character itself is intriguing, but long-winded rhyming is not my thing at all, but I seem to be a minority 🙂

Siv is my favourite character, but honestly, I LOVE all the little background creatures of the forest. Reminds me a little of all the details Shirow puts into his backgrounds. 🙂
Also, as many have said, the rhyming troll gets an honorable mention, if only because in spite of his rather vicious/cruel demeanor, he was rather fascinating.

About the best way to read that comics :
I do not read it every day, but every week or so.
What would be a great help would be to have some links to beginning of chapters, or to the transitions, in order to be able to find rapidly where I left the story, and to reread some sequences if I feel like it, but without browsing through the whole comics

Mama and Papa from the swamp are my favorites by far! They're sweet and endearing, but strong and capable and full of good sense. They're pretty cool, and their house is awesome.
ChrisJ » 2 May 2011 »
I like different characters for different reasons. Siv is fascinating, but Groggle is a contradiction of sorts: an ogre with a tender heart.
Onasaki » 2 May 2011 »
I gotta say it's the ryhming troll too for me, as well. Just 'cause he's freaking awesome. XD
Vesko » 2 May 2011 »
Favorite character must be Siv. He is awesome. Great artstyle btw, like the comic.

Poor wagon pulling beast; I really hope neither of these two die from the goblins. As for a favorite character…hmm that's hard. I'm really curious about Per, I like Bean a lot, and the rhyming troll was interesting. I think I'll go with the waitress (who's name I blank on right now) simply because she faces down those in charge of her when they are stupid. I like her spunk.
@Rafnasil » 3 May 2011 »
The name is Ravna *bows* Although nowadays she's fully under Travis wings 🙂
Kiarelle » 3 May 2011 »
Thank you 🙂 I knew it started with an R but didn't want to misspell or write it.
ChrisC » 2 May 2011 »
Gotta be the rhyming troll. Greedy and evil, but you got to feel for him.
NateBBQ » 2 May 2011 »
I really feel for Bean, but I think that Siv has been the most intriguing so far. The dark shadowy character with the mysterious past.
MaxArt » 2 May 2011 »
Meh, I really can't choose. They all can be awesomely developed.
Tia is the cutest, anyway.

I can't say enough good things about the atmospherics of your art. It's so immersive!
