Revision as of 16:51, 9 January 2014
Harkovast is a traditionally drawn fantasy webcomic which has been hosted on Drunk Duck since the 16th October, 2008.
The races of Harkovast are embroiled in a bloody and bitter battle against The Nameless, a force made of literally Faceless Goons intent on destroying the rest of the world. While the races struggle to overcome deeply entrenched hatred of one another, a lone group set off in search of the Shogun, who may be the only hope they have.
Also, it's a Furry Comic!
Other tropes associated with Harkovast-
- Action Girl: Chen-Chen can hold her own in a fight. Very well.
- Always Chaotic Evil: linked to The Nameless Faceless Goons.
- Badass: Shogun, who, along with being a badass samurai, has a replacement metal fist and a Katana equivalent of a flick knife.
- Badass Boast: Shogun:
