First off, the art is VERY well done. The action is captured very well. Secondly, the story is also progressing nicely. We get a further nuance for our dark elf rogue (she showed us this side of herself earlier when Kaitis was first put in the cell, but now we see that she realizes what she has got herself into). The easy thing would be to have Smoke just beat Shade, but the logic of the situation doesn't allow that. Jeremy has done very well to have Shade be the better fighter (he has been fighting and killing others, while Smoke has been avoiding conflict). That makes the denoument much more difficult, and ultimately may cement the whole group together.
It is funny how we just all assume that Straha can defeat Venril with minimal help from Penny and Khris. Given that Shade did not think he could beat Venril unless Venril attacked him first, this should be quite a fight. Straha's rage and special ability can only do so much.
Notice that this episode also helps deal with the problem of Kaitis finding out who her father was. The explanation that he was trying to protect her, given her peril, makes sense. It looks like Kaitis bought it, and will probably make up to her father. It certainly should make a special reunion, though there is a lot that has to happen before that.
Thanks, Jeremy, for a very entertaining comic. |
