The Order of the Stick

The secret character backgrounds of the Order of the Stick's six members — what each was doing before they joined forces. Seventy-two pages of all-new comics presented in nostalgic greyscale, detailing the lonely and pathetic lives that preceded their even lonelier and more pathetic teamwork.

Six stick figure heroes brave the perils of a fantasy role-playing game in hilarious comic strip fashion. Strips #1–120, plus 18 new comics.

The Order of the Stick leaves the dungeon behind (having blown it up) and ventures into the great outdoors, encountering bandits, dragons, assassins, and the most terrifying foe of all — paladins. Caught between the forces of Good and Less-Than-Good, their stupid little adventure becomes a stupid epic adventure to save their world.

The epic battle between good and evil becomes more epic-y than ever as the Order leads the charge in a massive siege while navigating prophecies, revenge, true love, heroic battles, villainous treacheries, and one very good party. Continuing directly from No Cure for the Paladin Blues, covering comics #302–484 plus more than 30 pages of bonus material.

Divided by the events of War and XPs, the heroes struggle to reunite. Haley leads the quest to bring back their fallen leader while Elan contends with new threats at sea — and direct competition for Haley's heart. Meanwhile, one of the Order faces an offer they should have refused. The fourth compilation of the Order of the Stick webcomic, covering #485–672.

Reunited and back to saving the world, Roy leads the Order to the Western Continent — a desert land of scheming warlords, death priests, and dim-witted bounty hunters, plus shocking surprises for Haley and Elan. Can Vaarsuvius reckon with what went down in the last book? Can Belkar pretend to be a contributing member of society? The fifth and largest volume of the Order of the Stick story, covering comics #673–946.

The Order heads north aboard a pirate airship to save the world in style — while one of their own faces a battle inside their own mind. When the gods themselves take a closer interest in Roy's band of misfit heroes, the consequences prove too big for the page. The sixth volume of the Order of the Stick, covering comics from #947 to the end of this story arc, with new bonus comics and a never-before-seen map of the Northern Continent.
