Summary

This week, we return to the world of Souls comics to see what's been happening since the last time we checked in. We cover the Dark Souls anthology series Legends of the Flame (Part 1 and Part 2), which has a smattering of not very good short stories that are, putatively, set in the world of Dark Souls.

We then turn our attention to The Healing Thirst, the second volume of the Bloodborne comic. It's a standalone arc about two men, a scientist and a priest, who are trying to discover the cause of the Ashen Blood plague, and it's really good.

For reference, here is a link to the first Dark Souls comic discussion. Additionally, the first Bloodborne comic discussion, Death of Sleep, was an episode of Adaptation Decay. We've bumped its Patreon tier down so everyone who gets this episode can also hear about the previous part.

Some of our landings were desperate adventures. We are now prepared to meet the inevitable counter-attacks with power and with confidence. I'm Oh My name is Gary Butterfield.

0:46.3

My name is Cole Ross.

0:48.2

You're listening to Bonfire Side Chat.

0:50.5

It rekindled a thirsty favorite.

0:52.8

Yeah.

0:53.4

As we revisit the world of Souls Comics.

0:57.9

This week, we're going to be talking about Dark Souls Legends of the Flame,

1:02.2

which is a two-issue run of the execrable Dark Souls comic,

1:06.4

and then we're going to be talking about it.

1:08.5

It didn't get better while we were gone. Nope.

1:09.6

Just, hey, that rock has been laying there in the yard for a while. Let me see what's under there. Oh, a bunch of gross bugs. All right.

1:17.0

What if I kicked it this time? Yeah. And on a better note, the second volume of the Bloodbourne comics, the Healing Thirst. Yeah. Which I like better than the first volume of the Bloodbourne comics, the healing thirst. Yeah. Which I like better than the first volume

1:30.8

of the Bloodborn comic, which I generally liked. Yeah. We did these, did we do the comics stuff

1:37.1

for adaptation decay or for old Bonfire Side Chats. So we did the Dark Souls comics as an adaptation

1:42.8

decay. Or no, we did the, we did the Dark Souls comics as a bonfire side chat back in kind of a, like, midseason kind of thing. And then we did the Bloodbourne comic as an adaptation decay, which I made, when this comes out, just bump that down to the $5 so everybody can get it. Yeah. If you're hearing this. It's reasonable to me. It's old. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we've covered this stuff a while, but it kept going while we had our backs turned. So we thought it would be a cool idea to revisit. And we'll talk about this at the end. I kind of want to read the rest of these Bloodborne comics. Same. You know, and so we might do that. I don't know what people think about that. We don't have anything pressing on the docket before Eldon Ring. You know, there are things we could do, of course, but there's nothing like I'm super horny to do and there's nothing that really demands. Yeah, immediate attention everywhere. Yeah. And this did confirm, you know, even when something's bad, it's information. Yeah. Immediate attention everywhere. Yeah.

And this did confirm, you know, even when something's bad, it's information.

2:41.9

The Dark Souls comics, they just don't do a good job.

2:44.1

I'm not sure.

2:48.4

I mean, I think that it's a problem of leadership almost when we compare the two of them.

2:52.1

You know, I really just want to talk about the Darks, the Bloodborn comic, but I think the contrast. We can't scoot through the Dark Souls one. Yeah, I read it. I'm getting some fucking content out of it. No, but the, but the, uh, the contrast is worthwhile. The Blood Born comics are made by like a team. You know, it's the same as as you know, it's the same writer and the same illustrator.

3:09.0

The Dark Souls comic is kind of taking a different approach.

3:14.6

You know, both of them are anthologies, but like the Dark Souls one, it's like the
