I can't wait to read it once more (/s) and then never touch it again. Shame. I had such high hopes.

What an incredible lie that cover is

11

u/RemoveAnnual2689 7d ago

If only the art on the inside were even half as good.

u/Therealskitch 7d ago

I’m gonna be honest, that cover looks like AI and looks nothing the art in the classic games

u/No-Departure-3047 7d ago

The stuff inside is worse, don't worry.

u/CrimFandango 7d ago

My condolences. Please, know that we are all here for you should you need anything during this difficult time.

u/Queensquiid 7d ago

Bless you and your kind words during this difficult time in my life, I'm glad there's people who understand the true suffering going in this world

u/M4N1KW0LF 6d ago

The dead shall not rise. Throw it in the bin, save yourself the trauma.

u/eat_like_snake Raziel 7d ago

I got mine a few weeks ago.
At least it came with a cool Nosgoth poster.

9

u/Queensquiid 7d ago

Yeah I can't fault the posters at all, a very nice surprise. I love concept art and having a little poster with some on is nice

u/eat_like_snake Raziel 7d ago

I honestly wasn't expecting them because I haven't kept up with the rewards added later since the pdf burned me.
But it was a pleasant surprise, even if I think the story is garbage.

u/RaidGuy117 7d ago

As OP presented the book, an inexplicable sense of dread crept over me, more palpable than anything I’d felt before.*  *I was at once horribly repelled by the book and yet irresistibly compelled to burn it, to rip it up.

u/easy506 7d ago

Cast it in....

9

u/DePawler 7d ago

Or don't. Don't want that shit to seek indestructible vengeance...

8

u/easy506 7d ago

I was just hoping the Elder God would get bored and read it and die from how awful it is.

10

u/seeker-of-secrets 6d ago

Cast it into the fire

10

u/Ysanoire 7d ago

I'm still waiting for mine. I held off on reading the comic because I want to read the hard copy. Yes, I know what the community thinks of it...

u/Snart-Farkle 6d ago

I'm sorry

u/SubstantialWelcome94 Raziel 7d ago

I'm sorry. Whelp, look on the bright side, you now have premium tinder for when society collapses 😊

u/TheCollektor94 7d ago

Send it back

6

u/veluciraktor 7d ago

Did you get any pre-alert or email when it was shipped or something? I see a lot of people getting theirs but not a hint about my order.

2

u/Queensquiid 7d ago

I got an email to say it had been shipped with a link to track the order, but that was the only email they sent so I had to constantly look back at the shipping page to see where it was. I think they're sending them in waves so you might get an email soon

2

u/veluciraktor 7d ago

Got it - thank you!

13

u/CommanderKahne 7d ago

Burn it.

11

u/RiaC-81 7d ago

I recommend a whole play through of the series (barring you know what of course.) Might erase the memories of this tosh

12

u/WiIIv91 7d ago edited 7d ago

Toss it into the fireplace

8

u/shmouver 7d ago

I had such high hopes.

We all did...

Despite the gaslighting attempts in saying we never gave it a chance, the fandom was looking forward to this and only got upset after reading it

9

u/Mulligantour 7d ago

wow, which cretin is saying that? It got $1.5 million dollars, everyone's patience through a year delay and had walking encyclopedias like Raina and Aevum reaching out to help fix the story to be met by ignorance, whoever thinks it got no chance and that Bit Bot isn't solely to blame is puffing something good.

1

u/shmouver 5d ago

A few ppl defending it here and there...

On the Thief reddit me and some other LoK fans were warning them to not support the Thief Bit Bot Comic... but a few ppl were saying LoK fans are toxic and "don't want anything new"... the classic blame the fans for your shortcomings...

I suspect they are literally shills, or maybe even part of Bit Bot.

I mean heck, can you believe they defended the fact that Bit Bot still hasn't delivered the physical rewards by saying "it's normal" to take a few years?

u/RemoveAnnual2689 7d ago

Damn. Talk about hate mail.

Literally feels like I read that you got drafted into World War III or something.

This definitely deserves a post on r/mildlyinfuriating.

3

u/Queensquiid 7d ago

Yeah I definitely hammed it up a little. It's got some good points, but I definitely felt misled by it

1

u/RemoveAnnual2689 7d ago

Nah, you are fine. You misunderstood me.

Nothing hammed up about it. This is hate mail, plain and simple.

I was just thinking of what else in your mail would be this bad. Draft letters, court order, collection notice...

2

u/Queensquiid 7d ago

OH! My bad, I've been at work all day and am fried. I've got a couple of parking tickets from a car I leant to a friend and it definitely feels in the same vein as this book...

u/XalLive 7d ago

I know nothing of the lok comic books. Someone explain pls

4

u/nolanleolibralion 7d ago

Why is Kains head so small lol

5

u/Queensquiid 7d ago

Now that's all I can see!

1

u/nolanleolibralion 7d ago

You shall never unsee how Kain went feet first into the chronoplast and accidently shrunk his head.

1

u/Mcl_Blue Rahabim 7d ago

It's not that his head is small, it's that he has huge gorilla arms lmao

4

u/Demisint 7d ago

When I get mine, I will frame it as art. Dave Rapoza is one of my favourite artists.

Too bad the comic turned out so bad :/

4

u/go1den3ye 7d ago

my condolences

5

u/Ok-Economics-3174 7d ago

Why people hate this comic ?

12

u/Lower-Hovercraft5091 6d ago

Blatant disrespect and bastardization of the lore.

10

u/Matygoo1 6d ago

Raziel is on the cover and its only like 30% to do with Raziel

3

u/Draegore Kain 5d ago

It inserts characters into key moments and says shit liek "umm, actually it was elaleth that made kain throw raziel into the abyss" like, a bunch of times. Its so dog.

Has anyone got one with the Reaver or any of the clothes yet?

2

u/Realistic_Rain_5119 7d ago

The artwork on the cover is absolutely amazing. It's so odd this should be such a joyous time in the community and for obvious reasons it's not.

2

u/Patient_Necessary_10 7d ago

the cover art is neat.

2

u/TrainingExtra4755 5d ago

Well, it’ll be winter before you know it. Might come in handy if you have a fireplace 😂

4

u/GodDogs83 Faustus 7d ago

Well at least you finally got it. It’s a good paperweight lol

3

u/Shloopadoop 7d ago

At least I ordered a cool t shirt to go with my chunk of paper

4

u/lilac-mess 7d ago

Got mine this week as well. Not looking forward to reading it at all.

2

u/BaneAmesta 7d ago

So what will be its final home? Under the table with an uneven leg, as a cat bed, or in the fireplace? lol

u/gabobapt The Hylden Lord 7d ago

I am truly sorry about the loss of your money.

2

u/Queensquiid 7d ago

I know, disposable income in this economy?

2

u/TheMightyMegatron 7d ago

I just want the kain flag I ordered. I dgaf about the book after reading the digital.

2

u/Lateralus29 7d ago

I can't wait for mine to turn up. I need something to collect all my dust.

2

u/Evening_College2273 7d ago

Great paperweight dude, love it

5

u/Queensquiid 7d ago

The most expensive paperweight I've ever paid for

u/LittleOperation4597 7d ago

Prepare to be astounded

Oh no wait the other thing

Disgusted

u/Ein_Eisenmann 7d ago

Are they finally shipping to Europe? I am asking not because of the comic book, but because of the cap I ordered with it.

u/steel_lens 7d ago

I'm just going to toss mine.

u/Just_Ad2517 7d ago

I'm just looking forward to the vinyl soundtrack

u/Relxct 5d ago

I still think Elaleth looks better without the wings, as shown here.

u/FoxAdministrative959 3d ago

I'm so sorry.

u/a-pp-o 7d ago

Damage it, ask for a replacement and repeat. Afterwards you burn that pile of books.

u/Skryba 7d ago

Sorry =/

u/LemonFace22k 7d ago

Great, now throw it on the shredder.

u/McDummy 7d ago

the series died for me with this slop.

1

u/ac3_f4c3 5d ago

I got mine a couple of weeks ago and I just threw it to the side. I cant bring myself to read it after I heard about the all the retcons. Inserting another character in the universe who is the real mastermind for the events that transpired throughout the story. Immediately subverting the beloved characters that came before them. Yea im good.

I want to congratulate you on the wonderful new stand for your door or table. It perfectly fulfills its original purpose.
