Viktor comic - Becoming the Herald

333lom·7/28/2015, 5:58:27 AM·19 votes·5,887 views

Hello everyone, the first part of my comic is finally published! Take a look at it here: http://becoming-the-herald-comic.tumblr.com

It will feature the Machine Herald as the main character, giving a bit different perspective than it's usual, on certain events from the lore. It will feature many other champions as well of course, though I find it funny that Jayce's lore will be shown in whole, and it will take just a part of the comic! I set out to do both characters justice, and I hope the story will be one hell of a ride!

Here's a fourth page of the comic, and I don't think it can be called a spoiler, since most of us kind of know that part of the story. http://40.media.tumblr.com/76fcf21f88b91d316786de9fd5ebf3c9/tumblr_ns09nfJqM21u5rv3go4_1280.png

Here's a reddit thread for it as well, if you're interested in helping me out a bit! https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3eju6w/becoming_the_herald_comic_featuring_viktor_the/

Hum, just wanna point out a mistake.

In your introduction you say ''without further adieu'' which... makes no sense. Adieu is a French word, it means ''Goodbye'' or ''Farewell''. The proper expression is ''Without further ado''.

See this for more explanation : http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/ado-versus-adieu

Hope this helps :P

Also I love the comic! I laughed so hard when he ripped his cape in two... XD

+1, Jayce is an absolute shitter.

Very similar to something I wrote. Love seeing Viktor as more the tragic anti-hero than the mustache twirling villain. At least I -hope- this is where it's going.

For one I want to say I have been a fan of your art for quite a while. As a fellow Viktor main it's always good to see someone who shares the same ideals when it comes to his lore. This comic looks like a masterpiece and it deserves WAY more attention than its getting. + 1 for being fucking amazing in every regard. Keep up the good work bud.

Why does this not have more upvotes?! It has the three things a League player could ever want: story, art, and Viktor. What more could you want?

That being said, I love all of your works, but especially those pertaining to the Machine Herald, in addition to reading your theories on his history, character, and interests. To say you are an inspiration for me would be a vast understatement. I wish you the best in completing your comic and look forward to reading each release.

I quite like the premise of this, I am a Viktor Main/Lore nerd and will be waiting attentively for the continuation.

Just one thing: Viktor's dialogue so far seems just a teeny weeny touch too 'normal'. Like how he says, "Nothing will be easy for me, eh?"

It isn't phrased a whole lot like his in-game quotes, and it gives him just a tad too much humanity for my understanding. I know he has some humanity left, but not quite that much.

Besides that, I like the idea, and I'd suggest that if you show the inside of his lab in detail at one point, you should totally add some blueprints on the walls of crude battlecast skins or something.

I quite like how people have a misrepresented idea of Viktor in game, but it did seem to leak out a bit out-of-game, which is sad.

The Machine Herald himself has given you his blessing and approval to depict his glorious background and rise to prominence. Do not shame The Evolution.

(For real, though, I just had to come out of my little hidey-hole to upvote you and show my appreciation for what you're doing, OP. I portray Viktor on the Roleplaying Board, so don't be afraid to check out what I've done with him so far!)

I might be in minority,but i never really saw Viktor as a villain nor as a hero...it all depends about individual perspective,so he is more of a anti-hero to me....also awesome looking comic mate! (SVAKA CAST!) :) it reminds me of another Viktor vs Jayce comic ive seen long time ago,where Viktor was depicted as a man who doesnt force people into his glorius evolution,calling the method of forcing people into doing something "barbaric"

Ugh, and here I was hoping for a Maokai x Nami fanfic.

I mean, nothing particularly intimate - just 300+ stilled images of Maokai waiting to be watered, then the awesome finale in which Nami uses her W to do precisely that.

Sigh

I guess a comic featuring robots and deluded heroes pitted against one another in a world gone mad will just have to do.

Incidentally, should we be expecting Urgot cameos? Dare I suggest - an appearance from the great and clearly honest + misunderstood Stanwick Pididly (stealing science from the rich and giving it to the poor)?

My hopes now set to suitably unrealistic and, above all, absurd standards, I can't wait for the next installment.
