#TAZGN

[careydraws]

I wanted to post this upset-cat elf as a mood and then realized every other part of the panel was a (goofy) spoiler so I tried mosaic-filtering it out but NOW IT SEEMS MUCH MORE GRIM LMAO.

anyway please look forward to TAZGN6, which is somehow out in less than 6 months. Happy suffering game summer?

i am being completely normal about The Suffering Game

yawp... thats static.... right up in his eyeballs

because damn can Ms Carey visually communicate what the podcast was screaming in audio

[ethersierra]

The crew on this book are a bunch of masterminds!!

This is the opening page for the Eleventh Hour

I thought, how fitting, to open a desert scene with these scavengers, but duh it's TAZ so birds have symbolism!

There are five birds on this page:

And six if you count Magnus,

Leaving one gap there for the bird who went missing.

[herbgerblin]

I would love to have my tazgn but indigo delayed my shipment even though I preordered it :( I think they got cyberattacked

D: oh no!!! I hope they get it sorted out soon!

She's so feral, I love it

I'm still waiting on my copy, but in celebration of the new taz graphic novel, here's my take on Petals to the Metal Taako!

trio panel redraws from some very early TAZGNs... and one panel from Suffering Game >:3

TAZGN6: The Suffering Game will be out in just THREE WEEKS (!!) on 7/16/24!! there's still time to submit your preorder receipt & get an acrylic keychain from :01 (US/CAN). And if you haven't preordered yet, you can preorder through one of these independent bookstores to snag a copy signed by one of the McElroys while supplies last!

(I'm not involved with distributing the signed copies, please direct questions to link! I am always happy to sign books if you bring them to a con I'm tabling at-- for 2024, that's Flamecon, AnimeNYC, and SPX! <3)

this joke....this dumb Proficiency joke right here...

straight up gave me hiccups!

whats funnier, fam: referencing the [in]famous banana vore or pokemons? You decide!

[jelloopy]

Am I crazy or are the Taz Graphic Novels taking a break this year?

did I miss that announcement? bc all the info I can find on the next release date for “The Eleventh Hour” is way in 2023 which I’m not mad about just lost

Happy Crystal Kingdom day!

Finally checked the Crystal Kingdom ebook out and gotta say, not loving the choice to give Upsey a human soul.

rad book review time because last week i got the new taz gn early and eleventh hour is my favorite arc so i wanted to jot down a couple of my thoughts on the book

TUMBLR WONT LET ME HIDE THIS SO ‼️SPOILERS FOR THE GRAPHIC NOVEL AND PODCAST AHEAD‼️

one thing is WOW this one is like a whole 100 pages longer than crystal kingdom and petals to the metal… it makes sense tho considering we are entering the latter half of the story. the previously on page is super cute i love the artwork….

stuff i liked ….<3

first of all designs …. and visuals…. the gns always have really vibrant colors and this has some very nice warm color palates which i love….

i have my ummm gripes with some designs in the gns to say the least bur i actually really loved most in here they were super good. also i liked the thbs cowboy out fits that’s all i will say on the main 3’s designs (clenching fist) i loved cassidy istus and ren

new scene at the start i loved that a lot … i will gobble up any redrobe foreshadowing i can get

THEY ADDED THE JOHANN AND VOIDFISH PART YAAAY!!!! i wish he played his harp tho like in the podcast…

i feel like the way they moved things around to fit the format was rlly well done here on my first read i was like oh my god they cut out the whole lunar interlude but they didn’t!!! i love how they incorporated it in between the loops a lot!!!!!!

nailed this scene i think … very pretty page so i will put it here

i loved the 100+ chapter gag i like a lot of the added gags and the jokes that were kept in too

THE CHALICE SCENE!!!! very anticipated scene and even tho it’s kinda condensed i feel like it’s pretty good.., stolen century foreshadowing aswell :-)

BARRY ALERT LUP ALERT ‼️‼️‼️📢📢📢📢

THE END SCENES!!! extended krav scene and merle writing the letter to his kids wjen the stars disappear and magnus ohhhhhffgfg…. so excited for suffering game ^_^

stuff i did not like….<\3

no fanart gallery this book?? maybe it has something to do with the controversy surrounding the payment of the artists which sucks a lot if so

no luca and redmond… they are cut entirely which makes me sad … i can understand this tho since they probably needed to cut something out to condense the plot a bit.. i do like that ren robs the bank tho even if it sacrifices the magic class lie taako does in the show

the diary of sheriff issak scene did not hit for me like it did in the podcast ok………..it’s alright but they changed the diary entry soooo much and didn’t flow as well imo…. i am not a fan of how much they slightly/completely alter a lot of lines from the show randomly but idk maybe they did it for a reason shrug

more nitpicky than anything: i love the chalice scene and the lup foreshadowing made me crazy but i wish the memory montage displayed taakos childhood of moving from place to place/not having a stable home better as it’s pretty important to his character

also nitpicky but i love the magnus redrobe scene a lot still BUT i wish they kept the part where he looks at it after june gave it to him and we don’t see it til later… idk why it’s changed but i think it would’ve been cool to see his silent reaction before we get to see what’s on the page…

ok that’s all for now…. these are just my initial thoughts after 2 reads (last monday and today) so my opinions could change but overall this one was probably a 8.5/10 best tazgn so far for me cant wait for the suffering game 🕺🕺🕺🕺
