Little comic about the discovery of the augurs 🐌
After a long day in the depths of the pthumerians’ tombs, the guardians of Byrgenwerth were finally heading back to the surface.
On the way back something caught their eyes and made them stop. In a small corner covered in mold and inbetween old candles, they saw what look liked crystalline pearls against the wall. More disturbing was in front of it, the mummified remains a a huge invertebrate.
They got closer. The gatekeeper and the groundskeeper exchange looks while the graveguard went to take the dead gastropod.
They couldn't believe it! Phantasm! The signs of the great ones! They finally found them!
Liam : We absolutely need to bring them back to Master Willem! He will be ecstatic!
Gehrman : I know! But we need to be sure there's no risk to bring them to the surface like this. It could be disastrous!
Dores : Maybe we can just take the mummified slug for now. Leave the rest here and go tell Master Willem. Then we'll go back to got them.
Liam : But... we can't just leave them here like this! If something were to happened while we're gone... the provost we'll never forgive us...
Gehrman : Hm... oh I might have an idea!
They took delicately the slimy eggs and put them in a urn. There it should be safe for now. No Dores don't lick them just to see! They left a lantern not too far from it and head back.
At their returned, they show the Provost the remains of what could indeed be an augur from what he told them. They explain they might have found eggs as well. The Provost couldn't believe it. He rush them to show him. They needed to get them back into their care!
After retrieving them the scholars tried to take care of them as much as possible. They could only pray for the day they would hatch, wishing live still remains in those little pearls.
After no prior signs of life, one egg finally move. The provost panicked took it in his hand and witness a miracle.
After all this time, they finally encounter a phantasm. An augur was born.
---------------------
I know in lore it probably didn’t got that way. It seems to be the Healing Church who found them while looking for Isz 🤔 but well i had this idea in my head since a while and i’m happy to have finally done it!
Willem : Crying of joy
Laurence : Yes that's really an augur.
Rom : *fangirling and is very excited soon she will have dozens to take care off!*
Micolash : wow very cool!
Caryll : Omg are they speaking to me?!
Everyone else : ok cool slugs I guess

Do you consider the Bloodborne comics canon or officialized fanfics?
Hi!
I kinda don’t consider them canon, but I think the Eileen one (which is my favorite) is probably the closest to something I feel like could be canonized. It’s subtle and obscure enough—and of all of the stories, it has the strongest Bloodborne vibe.
Cheers anon! <3

Just finished reading Bloodborne: Death of Sleep. The art is gorgeous and captures the game well, but I have some gripes with the comic overall.
It borrows several lines from the source, but fails to give them the same gravitas or impact; they are more reference than narrative element. The characters are a bit rambly and stilted in a way that doesn't quite capture how I imagined the mannerisms of Yharnam.
The Hunter, whose lack of identity and even gender I appreciate a lot, doesn't struggle with any of the regular beasts. They can mow them down without issue, which misses point of the Soulsborne series; every creature lurking in these lands is a threat, at least the first few times. Maybe the comic couldn't spend that much time on monster fights, that's fair, but they probably still shouldn't all lose their heads instantly (or with a "pop", they're not puppets).
The Child is an intriguing addition and I like the ending, but with how closely everything else ties into the game's story, it has difficulties blending in.
As a more overarching criticism, I would have liked to spend more time in each location. I guess they weren't sure if they would get more issues? Every environment in Bloodborne has such a strong identity and vibe that panel-dropping them robbed them of their dramatic impact. I want to bask in them!
The first Amy and the reveal at the end? Good stuff.

Here's what I have been up to this last few days, a little Bloodborne fan comic! I'm happy how it turned out.
I love this game, it's mechanics, differents parts, characters, enemies, music and of course I've been fascinated with it's lore for more than year now.
The Black Church Set description is always a point that fascinated me, yet make my skin crawl each time I think about it :
Most Healing Church hunters are elementary doctors who understand the importance of early prevention of the scourge, achieved by disposing of victims, and even potential victims, before signs of sickness manifest themselves.
Their black attire is synonymous with fear, and that peculiar Yharnam madness.When a cancer is discovered, one must pinpoint its location, reach in, and wrench it from the host's bosom."
It's not talk enough and when it made us understand what horrors and in what state Yharnam was living before the hunter show up.
Additional I mixt this with my very own story concerning Gehrman's past. After Lady Maria passed away but before the Hunter's Dream.
I wanted to represent how we pass from the old hunters to the church hunters & doctors taking personally matters in their hands. As well as the harsh reality some of the inhabitants faced.f
