    You may recognize some of the characters from Demon. The main character Jimmy Yee, has been the star of my last few books including the Choose Your Own Adventure style children’s book, “Meanwhile…” If you are a child, please do not read Demon. The characters use a lot of profanity and deal with some very adult themes such as murder, camel sex and drug use. Also stay in school.

    But if you’re an adult, oooh, let me tell ya, this story is gonna be hella tight! You will not believe all the completely depraved mischief Jimmy gets into… and out of. Ooooh. He literally has no limits. He does not! I really want to tell you everything but I hate spoilers myself so for now the less said, the better.

    In case you couldn’t tell, Demon is a different kind of series, both in form and content. But at the end of the day, it’s personal. Ultimately, Jimmy is me. When he leaps in front of a semi-trailer, it’s really me who secretly wants to do that. When he acts in a deliberately amoral and antisocial manner, that’s me too. And when he expresses his feelings about the universe being a meaningless and chaotic miasma and consciousness as the ultimate cruel joke on humanity, he’s really speaking for me.

    Anyway, hope you enjoy the comics. I’ll be using this site in the future to post movie and book reviews, offer dating advice, art and writing tips and of course answer questions. That’s where YOU come in! You can email me at jasonshiga@gmail.com or feel free to post something in the comments of the news section of the site.

    Thanks again for coming!

    "Hella tight" definitely tucks me in for a serious, intellectual experience

    no one would care if the author hadn't explicitly said that the character is supposed to be a cool super-clever antihero

    Well then just try and forget that randomly taken out of context sound bite from the author.

    In your defense, Earth Animal, many forms of flatus have existed. Though, you may feel some pride in knowing that your expulsion has inspired religion in some realms. Many believe that there must be a higher power, because a truly random universe could not punish any life so cruelly.

    Demon has terrible writing, plot, art, and characters. I would not recommend it to anyone.

    It is also an amusing trainwreck of a comic, and I enjoy seeing just how awful it can get.

    Demon is the webcomic version of Nip/Tuck. I can't look away.

    Demon is outrageously stupid, like at risk of being repetitive that $87 chai latte bit is so incredibly powerfully dumbassed it literally stunned me

    it's the year 2115, no?

    an 80+ buck chai latte is round about where it would be if we assume inflation is at 3% the next 100 years (or evens out to that)

    of all the dumbassed things in demon, why did you pick inflation?

    Given that Jason Shiga has a degree in mathematics and a fetish for actuary science, the $87 coffee is probably the most sensible thing about this comic

    Marty: The future, it's where you're going?
    Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

    $4.25 venti chai latte

    $4.25 100 years ago would be worth $99.50 today

    but yeah, silly political commentary, sure.

    Lance of Faith - Cleric Attack 1

    A brilliant ray of light sears your foe with golden radiance. Sparkles of light linger around the target, guiding your ally's attack.

    Target: One creature
    Attack: Wisdom vs. Reflex
    Hit: 1d8 + Wisdom modifier radiant damage, and one ally you can see gains a +2 power bonus to his or her next attack roll against the target.
    Increase damage to 2d8 + Wisdom modifier at 21st level.

    man, spell scaling was real dumb in the prototype 5th Edition

    here's this thing that will be useful for a few levels, then become a black hole in your repertoire until 21

    (For comparison, here is an example of how scaling works in 5th edition proper:

    Make a melee spell attack against a creature you can reach. On a hit, the target takes 3d10 necrotic damage. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 1st.)

    Originally I drew this page with the speech bubbles covering the background, until I redrew it. I'm a bad person but I'm trying to be better.

    Wow, yeah, I remember being impressed with the art basically the whole time but that is a crazy improvement. I guess doing 5 full pages each week will do that for you.

    My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

    Me too. I didn't even realize that it had improved so drastically until looking at those two images one after the other.

    lalli speaks, he's just a real quiet guy

    and he only knows finnish, which no one else in the group can understand but tuuri, so he has even less reason to open his mouth than he usually might


    but no language barrier in dreams it looks like, I think a sizeable percentage of his lines have been while he's unconscious

    Huh, all this bickering made me think about Exterminatus again and where the Bookend of Ultimate Dark power arc started.

    Oh, four new updates and......its quite good.

    I'll.....not share this. Because I have faith we will all place nice.
