Hello again!
If you’re joining us from Cincinnati Comic Expo, welcome! Please enjoy these first 9 pages which are the work of our good friend and guest artist James Ratcliffe and written by Ed Cho.
Little Guardians will return with Chapter 3: The Anger Demon, on Monday October 8th!
Is Thoom blinded by the Zucchini Energy coursing through him?
I wouldn’t say blinded, but there is a lot of crazy energy stuff swirling about for dramatic effect.
I’m also going to point out what a great job James did with this page. I love the upside down fence stuff. That was not in the page specifically and he added it.
Not blinded, just possessed by the Zucchini Guardian (seen it twice before, first time when he threw the giant zucchini at his Plum, then during the Demon Bee Invasion)
So Thoom has demonic strength, but suffers from a devilish lack of coordination?
To a degree yes. Thoom swipes for Kat and Dossman, and they are able to evade. The momentum causes Thoom to go barreling into the fence.
High Strength, low Dex: Common monster problem. And the kids have a +2 dodge bonus to their AC due to terror.
Not to mention that most races with Small size get some kind of racial bonus to giants/large creatures.
