The Order of the Stick #½

Rich Burlew's beloved stick-figure fantasy series gets a special collected edition with Good Deeds Gone Unpunished, gathering stories that expand the world of the Order. The cover depicts two armored stick-figure warriors in the foreground — one in blue armor, one in red — swords drawn amid a rocky landscape, while a winged figure and an axe-wielding companion clash in the background. It's a charming snapshot of Burlew's deceptively simple yet expressive art style, and at $24.95 this 2018 Giant in the Playground release is a fine addition to any Order of the Stick collection.
