You’re saying that Anthony could have just picked up the phone and made an awkward call to the girl who had a crush on him instead of going on a six year quest and cutting his hand off to talk to a psycho pomp?

Coulda talked to his daughter, too.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Anthony does not strike me as a "abandon the first idea he has just because a better one comes along" kind of guy.

Pretty sure he thought the six year quest and hand cutting was a better plan.

Anthony could have reasonably assumed that if Brinnie could do anything for Surma she would have. They were friends too, after all.

1. Anja with that subdued excitement watching the sigil start to spark is cute.
2. The fisheye perspective of the room is cool.
3. drat Brinnie has aged well. It pays to be a valkyrie I guess.

I suspect that is just her uniform. Which also begs the question of are valkyries (and psychopomps in general) always "on call" or do they have shifts and if you die at the wrong time you'll get a different one?

What's the hourly rate?

How big is the chance that Anja completely forgot that that sigil was given to her to use only in a case of emergency and Brinnie teleported in fully expecting a battle or two.

Yeah I think that we all pointed out that that is ominous as hell when this page dropped. I gotta say this whole chapter is a masterclass in comics. The paneling, the flow of the comic, the goddamn 2 page spreader, the tempo of the jokes, the art in general, the chemistry between everyone, both in writing and in drawings, absoluetely amazing. That page where Robot smacks his broken finger against the wall just to experience pain just for it's novelty! And just before, "She gave us each an Ocean"!
What's your favourite chapter as a whole? Gotta be a few different opinions on this one I bet. Inb4 whole page of people just saying "Stone".

I unironically loved The Stone. I know it was en vogue to complain about the pacing, but it really worked for me as a "holy poo poo" piece.

I absolutely love the two Realm of the Dead chapters. The first from Kat’s perspective, and the second from Annie’s.

My favorite panel from the two is when Annie gets mad at vampire guy for forgetting about Mort and the grim reaper dude just slides out of the way like “nope, nope, just nope.”

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
