Never story overview

I was talking to my step mother today and she told me that she tried to read Never but was like wtf is going on. Well, she said it nicer than that. So in the words of Chuck 'Here's what you've missed or might need to know.'

While visiting a tavern, Aalex and Roald happened to save the life of Len from the Crown. The Crown is an organization of soldiers who work for the King to find and kill wielders, people who can use magic. They do some other stuff too, but that's the main purpose. Thing is, Len didn't even know she could do magic. But she ends up going with Aalex and Roald anyway because she's scared, alone, and the Crown kind of knows where she was last, so...not good. First thing the boys do is try to get some help from an old friend who's probably willing to give them some food and clothes and stuff because she has a bit of a crush on Aalex. (Who doesn't really?) Len has started to discover that she can channel other people's magic once she's seen them use it but she hasn't figured out how to use her own magic, if she even can. There's also been some tension between Len and Aalex who don't really trust each other, but that's mostly over with now. Oh and Roald has a thing for Len. Mostly he just wants up her skirts. Sort of.
The Crown is still chasing the trio and are currently using the helpful friend with a crush on Aalex to discover where Len, Aalex and Roald are headed. They also have a necromancer working for them, which is kinda weird because she's a wielder but she's able to get information that the soldiers wouldn't get otherwise so they use her shamelessly.
And that's what's happened so far...

Of course tomorrow is the update day for Never, so you can find out what happens next in only a matter of hours! Hope that clears things up and of course you can go back to any part of the comic by using the archives page.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that Len coloured her hair black, so yes, it's the same person as the blond from the beginning. It's all part of their plan to hide from the Crown.

  1. I'm the stepmother saying:
    {"You're right, I never say WTF out loud; in print maybe...

    and I NEVER, NEVER, NEVER (that's an ad for your comic) say "like". Shudder. "like you know" - triple shudder.
    Love the comics. Will now go back and read NEVER from COVER TO COVER."

  2. Haha, thanks Bunty.
    And I'm glad we cleared up who's the one who murders the English language the most. Sorry English.
