Since this is a new thread, which may draw new readers, should we use spoilers when discussing older chapters? Just wondering.

If y'all are reading through page 1, wondering whether you should give this comic a try: stop before you spoil yourself on something. It's really great! Read it all and talk about it with us.

Jeanne is waiting for someone, or something. The only option I can think of is the hunky green elf. Which begs the question, what happened to him? Also, wasn't Jeanne on the forest side of the waters when Annie first encountered her?

Maybe she isn't bound to one side. It's the river that she's attached to. Unless you're speculating about why she was on the other side.

Welp, nevermind. Helps if I read, you know, the next 5 pages...

I will say that it was a pretty elaborate arrow that killed Mr. Green, when I think any arrow would have sufficed to just kill him.

I don't think they'd make such a big deal about the arrow if all they needed it to do was kill something. The faeries wanted Annie to smash them with a rock, so I don't think it takes all that much for a magical creature to die.

I said this when it was first released, but that arrow is designed to trap something - probably a spirit - not to pierce.

Who is the man on top left here? It isn't Steadman, Sir Young, or Diego.

I always assumed it was the, now, head master.

I never found the comic that explained why the forest dwellers couldn't ford the river. If the faeries wanted to die they could just ask the scary ghost who was eager to kill.

She might do worse than kill them.

EDIT: Hey, here's a fun thing we can do. This was the page that got me into Gunnerkrigg. I remember a bunch of goons making a big deal out of "It goes up again!" and I wanted to see what the hullabaloo was all about.

Doesn't hold a candle to my favorite panel of all time, though. Panel Four.

I don't think we can really blame Coyote for treating Ysengrin like crap. Ysengrin is a pathetic hanger on with no sense of humor and anger management issues. Whipping boy is just about the only useful function the guy can serve.

I think he's a little smarter than you give him credit for.
