This is the first time I heard of 8-bit Theater. I don't know if this is exactly how the comic was. It was probably this that got me introduced to webcomics in the first place. It was amazing to see this new medium. It's great to see how much depth the characters have enough though they're sprites. The perspective is great.
These voices are fantastic. It's a pity this had to end. Even the actual comics is over now. I really don't see Black Mage being that evil in this. Well, it's probably more so as the comic/cartoon goes on.
