Memorable Quote:"The overwhelming sense of whimsical and benevolent lightness. The quest itself, with its meander amidst many zany lands, is where to best plant an orphaned tree. It is a sojourn motivated by kindness."

Rating: As with the other volumes, I highly recommend Book 7. It gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling you get when a story comes together perfectly.

Memorable Quote:"If you like whimsical fantasy comics like Groo or Bone, you’ll love Farlaine the Goblin, by cartoonist Pug Grumble. If you’re a fan of the Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting Planescape you’ll love Farlaine the Goblin. Or if you’re a fan of humor. Or tight storytelling. Or cartoony artwork that matches the mood of the story perfectly."
Memorable Quote 2:"If you have any part of you that hasn’t grown up yet, I recommend Farlaine the Goblin."

http://www.worldcomicbookreview.com/index.php/2017/06/19/farlaine-goblin-book-5/
Memorable Quote:"We do not know who the writer of this comic is. We would very much like to know. The reason for that is because this comic is fun, clever, whimsical, and entirely beyond the skills and resources of the average creative writer/artist."
Conspiracy Theory:"Our best guess is that there is some large company sitting behind this publication and choosing Kickstarter for reasons unknown (global brewers do this – sell lines of “craft beers” under rough-hewed sub-brands in order to tap into the snootier end of the beer market). Or perhaps some well-known and honed creator/publisher such as veteran Dave Sims is having a quiet laugh."

Memorable Quote:"I wish I could say that the best thing about Farlaine the Goblin: Book 5, Vaultlands is the Uncle Scrooge reference, but the truth is that there are so many “best things” about this delightful edition of a fantastic series. Farlaine is a fantasy adventure. It is epic fantasy on a small, but no less engrossing scale. Farlaine the Goblin is in the spirit of the Looney Tunes and Lewis Carroll, and Book 5, The Vaultlands epitomizes all of that."
