Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The hero's party quit and now everybody expects me to kill the demon King.
Sounds good but can we set it in a world that inexplicably has explicit game mechanics? And can the protagonist be absurdly strong because of some technicality that somehow nobody else has run into? I feel that would really set it apart from the competition.
The universes where each and every would-be hero is terminally stomped for merely thinking about going on a quest are uncountable.
There are countable subsets where something other than that happens, and one of those subsets is where the universe rules provide enough wiggle room for a hero to win.
It is all but certain we live in one of the former. Stories about the latter give us hope that we might not be.
Compare: Why do the Power Rangers not simply create the Megazord in the first place and stomp the bad guy before its inevitable enlargement?
