It's not showing off if you're dealing with vampires.
Anyway. Perhaps I'll see you at the convention tomorrow! Either way, have a great weekend. Week. Life. So on.

Can't limbless still fly? Just for the visual alone... :-p

Not quite sure, but I think he's impaled on a tree branch. Or at least caught in one.

Personally, I'm wondering how he can sort with no nose.

Lacking a nose, a "snort" is much easier than a "sniff."

Oh... oh gods. "For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples.
And that grin from Betty, let us hope that she sticks around and does not return to slumber in her warren.

I can't decide what exactly Bloo's expression is supposed to be. I think it's somewhere between awe/wonder and "WTF did I just get myself into!?"

I believe it's a bit of both. Impressed at the ability to hide the sun, and realization that Zandra is that powerful.

She was in chains that held a god and broke them...

Somewhere Fenris is looking at the broken chains and is going "You're taking a page out of my book now?"
Then one glare from Betty sends him back to the doghouse. Or whatever passes for it in Norse mythos. :P

Turn-based combat? Ooookay.
Also Tomie is copying Jack again.

I want you to know, I read your response but initially thought you were responding to the second half of SWAS's comment and not the first part. It took on a very different meaning that way.

Something tells me Mike ain't waking up at all. Not after THAT surprise Jack gave him.

She's wearing the stuff she got from that one goblin. The one with all the discount assassins.

And here I thought to myself Zandra was already fine on the "show of force" department. I stand corrected.

I'm waiting for Bloo to zoom up for a direct attack then Zandra grabs Bloo's head and plants on her an eye-popping deep French kiss.
It's somewhat fan service but it was long-ago established her assorted demonic secretions can be highly corrosive, after awhile Bloo's head would melt. And the talking non-bleeding torso has me wondering if anything will take out these vampires besides destroying the head.

She was able to do the deed with mike and they can drink her blood so either they're built of stronger stuff or She learned to control it.

She could also spit, or slice and dice with her tail/claws. Hell, she could probably rend her with her wings.

I'm really certain that "Withholding the sun itself" is showing off with vampires. Also humans. Definitely solar-powered calculators and plants.
I think it's only not showing off if you're dealing with clouds.

And In the Ending The Demoness Conquered the heaven and the earth. And the earth was with form, and Substance; and Light was upon the face of the world. And the Spirit of The Demoness moved upon the face of the Lands. And The Demoness said, Let there be Darkness: and there was Darkness. Very Very Epic...I think the Cop peed herself and I do not Blame her....

Apart from the truly epic shading in this page alone, the range of expressions and emotions shown is priceless! And the only thing left in my mind is to see Tomie hit Jack up the back of the head with a book, rolled up newspaper or some object conjured from herself XD

It is the comment from Sam that strikes me the strongest.
Sam, who by his own admission, holds no real faith - not in gods or religions, and seldom in those around him either.
Sam, who holds himself dependable to his friends and allies, but shows time and again a bitter drive to self-reliance and separation, not quite trusting himself to need the help of another when the chips are down.
Sam, who we have seen drop a variety of small curse words here and there, whether as emphasis or expletive, but still holds unconscious care with one name at least.
On his lips, the words 'Sweet Jiminy' mean so much more than a mere unthinking moment of blasphemy. It feels, indeed, much more akin to the desperate, whispered, instinctive prayer of the truly shaken.
Sweet Jiminy.
Jesus Christ.
Dear God.
Help me.

Definitely the best spoken line on the page.
Also, I love the way Zandra's stripes interact with the clouds in the background as she blots out the sky. Most excellent.

Wellp, she just pulled a White Fatalis on you, Bloo. What're you gonna pull to try and counter that? Can you even pull anything to counter that, or are you just another Velocidrome, ready to be cannon fodder for something much much more interesting than yourself?

"And Zandra said 'let there be darkness!' And lo and behold, the Sun reacted to the command. It did not dare to show it's burning face again until the mighty demon allowed it, for even it feared the fiery gaze of the mistress of miscelaneous.

The alignment of the panels with her wings in panel 1, all that perfect shading, the look Tomies giving Jack, this page just keeps on giving.

Just wanted to pop in and say, "hot damn!" I lost track of this comic 5+ years ago and found a link to it on another site. Three days of archive binging later, I'm caught up!
I really missed this comic and I'm glad it's still going strong!

Welcome back!
Joe's work here is truly grand, and has only gotten better over time. Enjoy it with us again, but be warned, Joe has told us this is pretty much the final arc of the comic. It's still going strong, but intentionally not for much longer. You've made it for the grand finale.
