About this Collection

This second volume of Rich Burlew's acclaimed webcomic-turned-print-series collects strips from the 'No Cure for the Paladin Blues' story arc. The Order of the Stick faces new challenges as they navigate the city of Azure City, dealing with paladin Miko Miyazaki's rigid code of conduct and a series of courtroom dramas that test the party's unity. Along the way, Roy Greenhilt confronts his father's ghost, Vaarsuvius grapples with the consequences of their magic, and the team's quest to stop Xykon takes unexpected turns involving goblin politics and the mysterious Monster in the Darkness.

In "Ominous Would Have Worked Too," Rich Burlew dives into the evolving dynamics between Roy and Miko, sharing insights on how their relationship developed across the story. The issue also includes translations of Haley’s altered speech from strips 247 to 251, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. The cover, both penciled and inked by Burlew, captures the tone of the chapter with its expressive, detailed artwork.
