It is interesting that Mark never explicitly says he's from outside the city, even though literally everything he says and does implies it (Such as, for instance, saying he's guilty of trespassing on the page after the one ronya linked).

He also seems significantly unaware of how the barrier works - "But this place will be back to normal soon, right?" - for someone who had grown up in the city. But yeah, I think he's being coy about it because he's aware that saying he's from outside is likely to produce some weird reactions from magical girls.

It's interesting that Mark swears "Jesus", but the city usually cusses by the Founder (but Undine still seems to recognize that it's a swear)

Unfortunately(?) it's an April fool's joke from 2015 and there's been a handful of new pages since then.

Well GWTB doesn't really have a throughline story or anything so you can post the ending without actually ending the comic and it still works just fine.

There’s an update that’s not really an update today. Cagle has a new publisher to put books on actual store shelves, which is pretty neat. Update is the cover art and a news post.

Team Alchemical is pretty radical all together like that. No wonder they were so popular in universe.

I am sad I never noticed the angle they are picking up on in that she is very childish. I am used to petty childish villains in fiction as just a style rather than a detail of interest for them. Makes you wonder just how long has Goops actually been around.

Kokoro has fair reason to be happy. The club came together to work on the Goops mystery, giving her a good ending to a tough day. And she's beating up monsters, which she always enjoys. And, for the first time, she's not only out with Undine but she's out with her teammate and her girlfriend.

Also grief isn't some constant thing that stops you from ever being happy. Given Cassidy is still not confirmed dead and all the stuff Tenebrais pointed out, of course they're happy.

Poor Vedika. I'm not sure I'd want to strengthen them either given how she's seen how accidentally peeking into someone's mind, even vaguely, can complicate everything. All that on top of the unpleasantness that is "I physically cannot touch anyone in my transformed state without poo poo getting weird."

See I get that, but I think that they're really underestimating the usefulness of secure long range battle communications. If they can get Vedika's powers working more reliably she could end up being one of the most useful members of the group, even if she never kills a single monster.

They're young teenage magical girls. They're still in the mindset that punching/stabbing things is the best approach, if at first it doesn't work just punch/stab harder.

Well here's hoping that growing out of that mindset is part of how the story develops. Being willing to talk it out and share data is a good first step towards that.

For sure I agree that her powers are some of the most potentially powerful. I just meant from the perspective of a young teenage girl who views herself and her powers as directly responsible for a clusterfuck that nearly tore the group apart and may or may not have gotten Cassidy in mortal danger (yeah I know we know she's dead but the group doesn't), she's justifiably frightened.

Honestly would love to see what happens if she touches a monster when transformed though. Prediction: Goops controls the monsters like a hivemind and by touching a monster, Vedika can speak to Goops directly.

Vedika also gets quite a bit of psychic backwash so I think that would/will end up being a really bad thing.
