I wonder - will she also lose her fangs, and gain human eyes?
Fangs... No. they are dental implants from after the car wreck that killed Tina 1.0, and caused Tina 2.0 / 2.1 to come into being.

Eyes... Maybe, I posted a few days/weeks ago that it seemed that the swirlyness of her pupils were getting smaller and smaller, and that maybe if/when she stopped thinking of herself as "We are just a bunch of demons piloting an empty body", and more as "I am me"... then they will turn fully human-like... but, as usual, I can be wrong, only time (and Paul) will tell...
I think the empty sockets that used to be eyes, will stay the same. The "swirlies" are there just to remind us that they aren't really eyes at all, just a projection of the collective to keep people from running away screaming. Tina is not "alive" in the human sense, just an empty shell being piloted by a collection of demons.

The crisis is not quiet over. As i said Jet is going to wonder what happened, how it happened, and why it happened. I kinda doubt she is going to let that slide too long.
Ambush questions are fun. Watching the mental impact of them as they distort, or crumble, opinions based on faulty logic.

Are they really implants, or is that just what she tells people?

You guys are overlooking the obvious. Her wings are white because she finally got to go to the bathroom.

ducks into corner to dodge flying objects

I'm still hoping she finally divulges what the 5 winged beings of which she is a part are and what their purpose is...and what the result of her getting white wings will be...

I'm pretty sure I recall something from the archives along those lines, but would not know where to begin looking. And every time that happens and I look regardless, I get all caught up and off on a tangent...

Atomic is right... Bells should be ringing all over at the moment. I expect Phix to show any moment to congratulate Tina on her evolution and give a pep-talk.

Well, it's either that or her finally having been to the toilet... :D

I'd have assumed that the white wings were just a reflection of how Tina was feeling at that moment...except I wonder if naming the strip "White Wing" was meant to suggest that it's a more permanent change.

Either way I think today's page is just beautiful and touching. :)

Who says this is Blackwing transformed? There are 5 winged creatures. White wing may be an entirely separate being. This is just the first time we have seen it.

While this may be true, and while Tina is a covey of demons (i.e. the rats running the ship), we have Phix telling Tina that there is another who is already what Tina may become...

All I know is when I saw Tina with white wings my clenched fists shot into the air as I hissed "yessssssssssssssssssss!!!"

I have to wonder if Jet crying is because she sees Tina, white wings and all and thinks she's dead and gone to heaven? Waking up to that image would be a shock to anyone.
You know that light at the end of the tunnel?

Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

*sigh*. Yeah, I admit it... when it comes to paying up properly after committing punnish bathroom humor, I'm definitely in arrears.
