The One Who Loves You 2013-09-20

That face!

[NOTDilbert]

Er, what is that sticking out of her back?!

[shadowinthelight]

Er, what is that sticking out of her back?!

Pretty sure that's hair.

[dex drako]

Er, what is that sticking out of her back?!

I was going to ask that too. almost looks like wings in a way.

[Fairportfan]

Yeah. I wondered, too.

Maybe it's the robe that was Guidance's hair, as Monica tosses it aside?

[Atomic]

And just keep in mind "The one who loves you" might not be Jet! My peanut butter addled nose smells someone (something?) else waiting in the wings.

Covey of demons, indeed!

[ActionKermit]

You know what we're going to get tomorrow, right?

One-panel Jaguar Girl full aspect.

Looks like this was spot on. The weatherman forecasts a 60% chance of a primal roar followed by M hunting down the Tar with her demons at her side sometime with the next dozen pages or so.

[Opus the Poet]

I believe this is the first time we have heard a demon give a fan(girl?) squee.

Not quite. It is from the side and is not the full page, just the larger panel on the page. Several people made that call before this as well. Heck even I got poetical about it. lol.

No claws or tail though. Dang I was really hoping for the full Jaguar look though this is pretty darn good. Lots of astral fire. Monica is ready to kick ass and take names.

[Fairportfan]

...and she's out of bubblegum.

True it might not but it probably is. The is Jet's CSpace and her demons. So they consider her the most important person not someone else. It might be one of the other demons but that is going a bit far. But I do recall an old folk song titled 'My Demon Lover'.

[zachariah]

Wow. That really gave guidance a turn with the transform.

Now why would this change justify 'I can see why she loves you.'. Is the brawler aspect of Jet strongly attracted to other strong fighters? Of does Jet want to fight Monica to bond with her? Some people do become good friends after a big fight.

[Timotheus]

Monica has wing stubs! I'll bet a dozen chocodiles that they're the base for a full set of astral fire based wings for when she needs to fly. (Just call her 'Stormy')

[MerchManDan]

Interesting to see: This "place" has a floor and at least one wall.

Huh. Where's the rest of Guidances body?

[txmystic]

...and she's out of bubblegum.

She has come...to kick ass, and chew bubblegum...

oops, wrong order...

As for the thing in her back, it looks more to me like a really sharp fin of some kind, but I'll go with the hair robe.

This tar is nasty. was it borne of emotional trauma or did it appear by other means?

Models are known to smoke to control their weight. With tar this bad she must have been chain smoking with no filters.

It is being masked.

It just occured to me yesterday: I don't know how it got there, but... It's Armus!

[illiad]

Yeah. I wondered, too.

nope, it was there Thursday... some sort of 'edge' by the 'hair' ???

Paul?? clarification???

[Yamara]

And I believe I know why The Tar attacked you. It wanted to make you feel worthless, and make you give up.

And the ethics daemon finally calls it. Rape is about control and dominance, not sex or overwhelming 'affection'.

Has anyone mentioned that tar burns really well?

The minute I got here, I was violated. Did I miss something funny?

There aren't two sides to this issue (not two equally ethical sides anyway), but while this arc was entering its darkest pages, I received my pre-order of Wapsi Square Book 3: The Timekeeper's Daughter, the cover of which has a naked Jin, hands dripping with the blood of rapists, on a black background wreathed in cleansing fire.

Turning it over, I saw white capital letters stand out boldly in the upper left: HUMOR

Which is accurate, I suppose, but the irony had some extra levels just then.



Also that's a beautiful sketch of Blackwing on the inside cover, Paul. She looks great in White.

Which reminds me. Time is running out to pre-order Book 4....
