8-Bit theater is over. Well, it had a good run, I guess if it went for too long it might have gotten boring, confusing, and off the topic quest. It already was kinda, but in a good way. So, anyone else going to miss the thing?

I was never a big reader of it, I only glanced at a few strips.

But a sprite comic that managed to attract such a high amount of readers must have been good. At least it got a proper ending =)

What's 8-bit Theater?

It was too long. A lot of the pages were pointless rambling attempts at some vague humor while others were just repeats of the light warriors doing their one dimensional stereotype schticks.

Fighter says something dumb. Black mage acts angry or exasperated. Red Mage ignores the drama and goes on nonsensically about how something in the problem could be solved. Thief makes a snarky comment. Rinse, wash, repeat.

The last page is nice, but I feel 8 Bit was like the last ten years of the Simpsons. Random and long having forgotten its original charm.

That wasn't fun. That was lame.

I'm glad its over. The comic had suffered from even its author being sick of it! The writing was pretty keen in a few comics, but really it just dragged on and on.
The ending was good though. I liked seeing all the characters drawn, rather than being sprites.

It was the best sprite comic ever made…

For all that's worth.

Play final fantasy, insert your own funny dialog. There you go.

Brian Clevinger–the author–has gone from a sprite comic, to living off the money he made from said sprite comic, to writing for his own published comic, to writing for Marvel. That's gotta say something about how good he is.
