On a vacant black morn, was darkness stillborn, a poor and fatherless bastard.
To swirl in the mass, of hell's foul warpath, and evil redeemed for ...

FEATURED COMIC --> Book in Hat
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, July 13, 2022
A blue hardcover book wearing a red hat with an unquenchable desire for adventure pulls an older, dusty, grumpy and green hardcover book off the shelf as a companion. Imagine a mysterious, magical mustache gifted by a generous French gentleman, saved from a fire. Descend farther down into an abyss ...
