LET IT BEGIN!
AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
AAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaah
Uhoh!
Yeah!! can’t think of a better way to ring in the season ! I hope you were able to get even a bit of rest on hiatus! can’t wait to read the comic !
Everyone looks kinda older, are we getting a time skip?
I was just thinking the same thing. Michelle looks a few years older here…
XD But she has the same FML expression she practiced wearing so often in her early Spfinxian years…
Ooooooooh, I hate when there is no “edit comment” button, and dorky ol’ me makes a SPELLING mistake of all things!!
Sphinxian! Sphinxian!! Please ignore my previous sputtering and read the correct version only.
Considering that she seems to be decked out in twice as many luck charms as before, she likely (still) has reason to …
(I wonder whether, by the end of her arc, she’ll be a walking heap of magic trinkets?)
Like wearing chainmail witha trinket attached to each of the rings?
She said the story would take place October 2006, so a year has gone by.
One of the top things I noticed is how Greg has gone from a goatee and sideburns to a full-on beard. His hair has at last joined forces, and thus doubled its power.
Kory said a few weeks ago that it’s set at Halloween 2006. That’s a little more than a year after the start of the previous story arc, “Obverse and Reverse”.
I assume there’ll be either flashback or exposition to tell us how long Michelle’s been back and how the situation with ‘Carver has been handled.
Oh my god it’s happening. Everybody stay calm! EVERYBODY STAY CALM!!!
STAYING CALM!
oh man i’m hyped!!!!
LET’S FREAKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
New logo too!
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
‘The Midnight Sun is rising soon, with miles to go before you stream…’
It’ll still feel like forever, and you know what they say about lurking fans…you’re DEFFINITELY doing something right! With awe and gratitude, Welcome Back!
First comment ever, but I’ve been reading for years: I am so hyped! Thanks for sticking with the project ❤️
Yay!
Aaaaahh!! Is that Greg with a beard?. :D
**wild cheers** Oh, GREAT crowd scene! I can figure out ALMOST everybody out for the most part except for the totally human-looking, horrified/unshaven guy behind Michelle to the left. Who’s that? Anybody?
Poor Michelle doesn’t look like she’s enjoying having everyone’s eyes on her. Greg looks pretty happy, though, and Jim, Lorne & Merial look smug and content (and possibly well-laid.) This should be *good!* :)
Bloodcarver’s medallion form?
My guess? That’s Ike’s manticore-turned-human father. Look at him compared to Ike. Same under-eye marks, same severe nose hook (albeit Ike’s is currently lion-shaped.)
Also… Is that our honored author, bottom row, third from the left?
Here’s my stab at identifying the faces:
Top row (l to r): (obscured), (obscured), Jimothy.
Row 2: Tim, (new face; “Square-Chin”), Merial, Lorne.
Row 3: Ravi, Abby, Michelle, Greg.
Row 4: “Old Man” Carter, (new face; “Spike-Chin”), (new face; “Cleft-Chin”; ‘Carver?).
Row 5: Remy (?), Alec, Lily.
Bottom Row: “Statler” (?), “Waldorf” (?), Sam, Leah (in human form, with wig).
I think middle-top is Tony, out of the obscured faces, possibly
And hooray! Tomorrow, SD _and_ HtbaWW update! Best day! :D
I checked, and the three guys a gave “chin” nicknames to are the same three new faces shown in RQ140. In that illo, “Spike-Chin” was wearing a necklace that might be a medallion.
In this crowd shot, I /guessed/ that “Cleft-Chin” might be the Bloodcarver based mostly on the mustache.
I *thiiink* Dean might be under the back half of “MONSTER”S”. Just see a bit of his hair & ear.
I see there /is/ another person between Alec and Lily. The title lettering is just translucent enough to make out his snout and the markings around his eyes. I think you’re right, and it is Dean.
Happy day! Wonderful Halloween present!
I’m so happy to see this starting up again =)
Well, now I have the Meat Loaf song stuck in my head for the rest of the morning.
Oh heck yeah! This has been my favorite webcomic for ages and as much as I adored the reader questions, can’t wait for it to continue!
<3
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
Yeah! Tomorrow!
Are we there yet?
