Premise
Goblins started in 2005,[1] and as of 2025 is still updating.[2][3] It is part of Hiveworks Comics.[4]
The comic's setting is based on a Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game and parodies these games, in that the rules of reality follow game mechanics; characters are aware of this and can take advantage of these rules. The story follows both a group of goblins, including Chief, Big Ears, Fumbles, Thaco and Complains-of-Names. It also follows Minmax and Forgath, "adventurers" based on RPG player characters. Goblins mixes comedy with bleak situations and gruesome violence.[1][5]
Reception
Goblins won the 2011 and 2012 Aurora Awards, a Canadian literary award, for Best English Graphic Novel.[6][7]
