Comic #884: The Monkey's Paw (Patreon)

I can never be fully sure what knowledge the reader has, so I was a little worried about people getting the joke in this one. In order to understand this punchline the reader needs some knowledge of the Legion expansion as well as the current game. They also have to know what a Monkey's paw is, which I hope at this point is a large enough part of pop culture that it won't be a problem. 

I tried to incorporate a little bit of extra exposition to help fill any knowledge gaps some readers may have. The dialogue in the second panel ended up a lot longer than it was originally. I wanted to make sure people knew that monkey's paws granted wishes, and that he wanted to get an axe. The third panel makes it clear he's trying to get a legendary.

For those without the background, Krom wishes on a Monkey's paw for the new legendary axe, and instead gets a legendary from back in Legion. On top of that, the Sephuz's Secret was a pretty underwhelming legendary early into that expansion, and it was a disappointing first drop.
