Describe Swords here.It's like if Fighter could draw and made a webcomic.Swords is a webcomic by Matthew Wills about a fictional universe where swords are very important, taking many different roles, as well as being filled with sword themed wildlife. While the comic has a unique lore and an on-going story, it also features many one-shot comics that just end in sword puns. | |

Katanas Are Just Better: Discussed in LVII, "Katanas Are Cool"; apparently the Barbarian's son thinks so. He, however, sheds a single tear at his son being a nerd. | |

Our Elves Are Different | |
| Swords (Webcomic) / int_15fc9fb | comment |
Our Elves Are Different: The elves in the comic are unusual in that they more closely resemble orcs than humans, though given that orcs were originally defined as being corrupted elves this probably makes more sense than most depictions. What's most interesting is that while elves do appear to be better than humans, it's the orcs who are the most technologically advanced (to the point of having their own Steve Jobs analogue). | |

Klingon Promotion: Non-lethal version. Because the Sword Tapir defeated Joyeuse in one-on-one combat, and because she was technically queen of Hiltshire at the time, that meant the Tapir is the new king of Hiltshire. | |
