All of Jacks magic has a spark of the real stuff.
that mid panel with Crystal's eyes is gorgeous. Love it Joe!
I'm not sure I would call it good. Effective, yes. Necessary, possibly. He's using magic to fuck with her head and convince her to do something she doesn't want to do. That's kind of a dick move.
It's just like when Hannibal and the guys would trick B.A. into flying whenever they needed to get somewhere by air, usually with drugs. The alternative, having her panic in the tunnel or refuse to go in and still be there when the vampire hoard breaks in, is much worse. This is just a bit of magic valium.
It may also depend on how far is he going with this. Is she actually going into the tunnel into a hypnotized state or is this to clear her mind and allow her to react more rationally.
Hypnotizing her out of a panic attack. That was quick thinking. But then this is Jack's sister. He probably isn't unfamiliar with this reaction of hers. I wonder if Crystal is claustrophobic?
Dude. That vertical panel of Jack looks very banner-ad-worthy. Dunno what the text would be, and it doesn't represent Zandra at all, but...Dude.

So...Through the fire and the flames, they carry on? :P
Oh, Jack is good at this. Even I am feeling calmer now. Fire can be quite mesmerizing. It's interesting yet a little spooky to see him use it in this way.
I think in some ways, Jack has changed more over the course of this comic than Sandra.
Well, cool to see how Jack handles her claustrophobia. Also, your art's changed in this image, less use of cross-hatching for shading.
That's what 90% of my dreams are like IRL, except for the ambiguous nudity.
Never mind "what if": focus on what is. 7@=e
okay, whatever you say, Jack . . . waaaait a minute! Where are my clothes?!
...that, in her relaxed mind's eye, the chains on her ears are gone
I love the layout here. The way edges of flame are paralleled into the edges of the cloudy sky. It's really a beautiful transition.
Also, the shift in orientation and perspective of the panels gives a good sense of going from a closed in space to something very open in the final one.

I just thought I would let you know that designer Alexander Wang has stolen Crystal's earrings.

P.S. I can't believe after all the time reading the comic I only recently found out her last name is Clarity.
I like the idea that he's actually hoping to use Crystal's and Zandra's connection to each other to find Zandra by following Crystal while she's hypnotized.
