My Name Is Q

My Name Is Q is a webcomic using a style similar to that of Order of the Stick. Created and developed by Quin Azevedo using Corel Draw PHOTO-PAINT 8, the series is hosted on the Giant In The Playground forums. In can be read here.

The story is about Q, a Physical God Shout Out to Star Trek the Next Generation, loses his powers and becomes a mortal where he is a powerless elf. He is found by a group of adventurers, who claim to use his infinite god-like knowledge to find treasure. He is later used to defeat the Darkness-wanderer, another Physical God Evil Counterpart.

While arguably not the best quality of art or story, with the only source of humor coming from Fourth Wall breaking, it is actually Better Than It Sounds.
