My name is Matthew and I'm the creator of "Swords", a webcomic series all about magical swords and the people who live by them (and sometimes die by them, too).

Starting as a single strip on Reddit that got a burst of popularity, Swords is now a huge world filled with Demon Swords, Ageless Gods, and Heroes fighting for a laugh or two. The series has just turned 6!

Never trust a professional Sword Fighter. They're very disarming.

Arguing with an epee is pointless.

When my first "Sword" comic was appreciated by the audience, I knew I had created something exceptional. The series doesn't take sides or try to offend anyone by making light fun of various fantasy clichés.

    I've always wanted to create comics. I used to post more serious, long-form comics on my deviantArt, but I always had a very niche following. "Swords" took off not just because it got lucky and became popular on Reddit early on, but because I had enough experience to recognize that it was a good thing that needed me to devote my attention to it.

    More accurate than Web M.D.

    A good comic idea usually comes together in a few minutes, but sometimes you need to let it cook in the back of your mind for a few days. Whatever dialogue I thought up when I started usually gets tweaked and optimized as I'm drawing the episode, which can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours to draw based on complexity.

    Mimics are typically inanimate, everyday objects, but they can mimic anything :)
