A few people were asking what Rades was pouring out of that bag back on Page #80 — I told you it’d be explained! Granted, maybe he originally intended to use it just as a distraction, but I think it still served its purpose. (We also love seeing your comments trying to predict things that haven’t been revealed or explained yet in the story — we always get a kick when you guess right!)
As for this page…sometimes when I send Vid the comic storyboard I get some good-natured groans if it’s a particularly complex layout. I really don’t know what came over me with this one. But Vid’s a champ and nailed it, like always. 😀
Another triumph of engineering! 😀
The question is what -else- that very visible explosion will attract.
Considering the mood Rades is currently in though, I think the only thing he can’t defeat is kindness.
However, my thought that his sister really thought she did a good thing for Rades is reinforced.
Even after he sicced Skoll onto Aklar and knocked her off her feet she is worried about Rades safety.
Ah, siblings… 🙁 and 🙂 at the same time.
Beautiful work Vid! The overall design is fantastic and man, just /man/, what a great comic!
It’ll be interesting to see how things unfold when Rades gets back to the other sans the eye. Or when they come find him after seeing that explosion from Shattrath.
I do especially like the construction of the second to last row of panels.
But yeah, siblings.

“At least the stuff out there I EXPECT to stab me in the face!”
