    It’s like… I want to know what happens next, but don’t at the same time, because then it will be over. Damn you for making me invest emotions in this story, Mr. A!

    Oh Mary Ann, you little rocker you…

    Unless I misread something or got the date wrong. V would HAVE a good reason to turn up. Serenity was supposed to turn up for her apprenticeship wensday. Plus it says she was unavalible to comment, not the usual ‘didn’t make any comments’ thing.

    Unavalible would include being on the other side of the world, don’cha thing? ;)

    yes who or what is tapping on the window, Jack Frost perchance?
    And is that Mary Ann’s hand or another one of the little beasties in the background?

    I ordered the book, I didn’t think to see what size it is, probably the usual 5x7ish, but wouldn’t it be really outrageous in 81/2×11, just dreaming…

    Oh, and I was also curious if that was Mary Ann’s arm, or one of those animals behind her. I think it’s her arm, I just never knew she was metal, lol.

    How adorable….. MA’s soooooo metal! (‘Course Zoe *was* a punk….)

    @Claire: akshly it’s January at least, mebbe February.

    @Grim: “unavailible for comment” just means she didn’t talk to the press. As usual for V. & Maggie *might* be right, after all!

    p.s. I missed those pigtails! & doth Sera protest too much? ;)

    -awesome, Aaron- you truly do use your design skills to set the tone for each page, all the way down to the tiny details. bravo.
    now, next on the agenda: Sera talks to Vicious!
    “Hey there, Vicious… about the apprenticeship…”
    “Cute pigtails!!”

    …did you just confirm Mary Ann IS a metalhead?

    Cap’n! Dere iz tooo Much Pressah! She be tooo damn cute!

    Okay, for all instances, THAT could be a moth. It probably IS a butterfly, since I generally can’t figure out a reason a Moth would be there. But there still is the strange white streaks.

    Though if was V… could totally see her doing the ‘Over worried thing’

    “You didn’t turn up on wensday, you didn’t call, then its on the news about some witch attacking you.”

    Damn I’d love to see the expressions coming out of that kinda thing…

    You have no idea how happy that little “I… love you, Tess–NO NOT LIKE THAT” made me. I am so happy that they’re okay.

    I’m glad I ordered the graphic novel because now I can just sit back and read this whole thing through in one sitting. (My computer would hate doing that on the site.)

    Hey if Sera doesn’t want Tess, I’ll take her!

    (There should be little buttons “I’m Bi for Tess!” I’d buy ‘em.)

    Oh man, I wish I had a sister, half or otherwise, to teach me the ways of metal. As it is, took my 16 or 17 years to find Alice Cooper (for shame!).

    I love that Sera can control such dimwit creatures as goblins. I didn’t think they had a brain TO control.

    awwwww….I love Mary ann. She reminds me of my niece. ^_^

    I’m assuming you already know about the Coblins..
    because they know about you, sir. They know.

    I love Sera’s hair like this.
    I loved it in WTN, and now it looks even more awesome.

    I wonder if that’s going to be an ectoplasmic butterfly, by any chance..

    …wouldn’t that be a little TOO obvious? ;) And there was already a table in there. The last time we saw it, however, there was some poor SSI Swat guy bleeding all over it.

    @grim: Hey, it’s a *teeeensy* butterfly! Besides, nothing’s really too obvious for a whole *one page* of foreshadowing……. ;)

    And I thought that table was all short, like a coffeetable…. tho I guess the legs can grow if Sera wants ‘em to.

    I’d figured “Coblins” was a typo, but usually Aaron would’ve fixed it by now…. “cob” does have precedence in that sort of elficological stuff, maybe it’s slang or something for “goblins with a job”?

    @Grim: hehe, Call it “profiling”…. but that’s the reputation anyway. ‘Course *I* know better ;) But ya gotta admit in V’s case it’s pretty accurate.

    @Alpha Oh I’d admit to that stereotype, you’ve got me there. A woman once said she though everyone in London was polite, courtous and gentleman. The mental image of such a person robbing you drove me into laughing fit.
    But don’t forget shes a JAPANA-british artist. The japanese are largely more polite and formal than us, if only due to how it’s how they do things.

    @Grim:True, Kimi Whisper probably had lots to do with it, tho surely Dame Glaurie gets major credit. & the fact that dad’s a mild-mannered physicist or something surely helps too. I mean, that sort won’t even *sneeze* without permission. ;)

    (there i go, stereotyping again!)

    But mainly, V’s just NICE! :D She’d def’nally knock. Even *with* an invitation!

    That or make her presence known before hand in some presence annoucing way. We do tend to do that.

    Nothing works better than a JCB through the in-laws front door, so a workmate once told me.
