Hey everyone!
We know this is super late, but this page serves as the tenth and final extra page promised to you when we reached the tenth milestone during our Kickstarter campaign.
We're also aware that some of you had been having some difficulties visiting the site. The issue is fixed now and it shouldn't be occurring any more.
Also, we're doing some changes to the Aikonia site, and adding a new feature that we hope you're all going to enjoy! We can't really talk about it too much yet, but look forward to more details next week :)
And that's all! Have a great weekend!

Nah, I think the sound effect might have been the sword saying SHH when it comes out of his scabbard. Posted on February 2nd, 2012 at 12:03AM

Exactly what I came here to post. A magnet strong enough to pull the sword out of his scabbard from a distance like that is going to be orders of magnetude stronger on such close contact. Posted on February 2nd, 2012 at 03:09AM

Alex (Hehe3301) replied:
by a magnitude F=(dr)^2 as he moves what that looks like 15ft? it will be 255 times as strong, and that sword flew. <---- sorry guys im a physics TA Posted on February 2nd, 2012 at 07:21AM

Hmmm... this "new feature" on the site, which you "can't really talk about too much yet"... is it a revolutionary new technical development, the idea for which just sort of... came to you? Have any of your friends started acting really differently recently? And avoiding the dentist?

I may have to stay away from the site for a while, just to be on the safe side... Posted on February 2nd, 2012 at 05:29AM Reply

How does their face jewlery not fly out and stick to the thing?

Is it magic and just for weapons? Or did they make it out of something that looks like gold but isn't magnetic?


... IS gold magnetic in the first place? Posted on February 2nd, 2012 at 09:01AM Reply

Mutterscrawl replied:
Googled it. it is not.

Though I'm still wondering about like, the buckles on their clothes and stuff. Posted on February 2nd, 2012 at 09:02AM

Shadowdragoonftw replied:
Most buckles and buttons and like are made of either gold or silver, and neither is a magnetic metal. So, there you go. Orcs are smarter than most people assume. Posted on February 2nd, 2012 at 09:10AM

qq replied:
If you want to be realistic, it has to be "weapons only" + magic. Even if you ignore position sword is carried in scabbard(sword comes ot rather straight ahead, so he's probably on same elevation as stone, so blade should be pulled toward stone, trough scabbard, turning around and pulling his belt ), he would feel some pull from all his armor, and chain mail parts of his helmet(not sure if they are still called chain mail while on helmet) should react somehow, but are resting instead.

But hey, it's supposed to be funny, not scientifically correct. Posted on February 3rd, 2012 at 02:47PM

But while people actually use swords, rocks are generally just collectors. Posted on February 5th, 2012 at 12:03AM

I just came here to say this page doesn't have a title..........
Did anyone else knew each page had a title or am I a weirdo who sees useless things like that?
I have no life......
Oh and I like this comic by the way.
Woohoo. Posted on February 2nd, 2012 at 08:38PM Reply

Where are you seeing titles at for the comics? I just went back and checked, and haven't seen any. Well, there are little headers at the top of the Guest Week strips, but... not really titles... Posted on February 3rd, 2012 at 04:39AM

Andrew-David replied:
Good job, Koakuma :)
This page actually does have a title, it just doesn't show up because you're on the site's homepage.
If you visit the page by going to http://aikoniacomic.com/page/94 you'll notice the title shows up! Posted on February 3rd, 2012 at 09:38AM

Oh I see it now, "Bardan tradition".
Normally even if it was the newest page I was able to see it (like I saw the title of page 95) but I couldn't see this one last time, dunno why.
I like to search for titles everywhere, I was in chapter 2 when I realized there were titles and then looked at all the older pages to see what were the older pages' titles. Posted on February 6th, 2012 at 09:00PM

I completely missed the "creeak" sound effect until somebody mentioned it in a comment; I guess that being outside the panel borders, it didn't register to me as part of the page, so my brain just left it out. Posted on February 3rd, 2012 at 01:41AM Reply

Am I the only one getting annoyed by that one guard's obvious attitude problem? Somebody needs to start getting off the other side of the rock in the morning. Tsk tsk. Posted on February 5th, 2012 at 08:54PM Reply
