Issue 993

A few moments later, they rose up and walked around the park, holding hands and chatting. Then they stood in silence. Nabile was watching the falling snow with childish wonder, whilst Jazan was struggling not to shiver beneath the multiple layers of clothing he was wearing.

Geneuinely heartbreaking recap of the situation at hand. Shiishika's regret is well portrayed. "i created a living being but designed a servant" is an amazing line! And the first and last expression panels are great!

This colour palette is so cozy! Love the overlay of the flashbacks ontop of the process breakdown. Is this Sura's room all covered in yyb stuff?

Twillie
The character work this arc has been fantastic. It hard to put into words how well the conversation reads as a genuine heart to heart. Love twillie's on the floor poses and Cherry help ease the tension

I am ALWAYS here for exploring the fauna and flora of darigan citadel! Love the way you explored how it's come to change the meridell landscape too. I'm sure those bladed daises are causing problems as an invasive species (as the farmers certainly have found). This was a nice introspective piece with all the calming effects of going for a nice walk through nature. Reminded me of walking through fields and along the river as a kid.

Butterfly Effect by Carolyn

Always a pleasure to take a stroll with your telling of the Borodere siblings! The inclusion of little ecology/biology tidbits in your stories always makes them so fascinating- and I liked Jeran's mini naturalist arc here lol From polite accommodation of Lisha's musing to "gimmi that book I want to learn more". I mean, they DID sound like very cool beetles

Home Cooked Meal by prulletje1852

ADORABLE, as always! I know you didn't plan the timing of this one, but in our current omelette economy, a homecooked meal makes more sense than dropping 10k on the store-bought kind!

The Life and Times of Bomb Jammer by Kat

A stroke of genius to have a former bomb squad Defender diffusing fugu at a restaurant. Makes sense he's the right one for this specific high-stress retirement gig! Excellent work depicting the tension in the kitchen too.

The Floating Islanders - It's Alive Pt 2 by Themeguy

Your writing is always top shelf and the wit never disappoints. "The dark undertones of her poetic introspection resonate with my gothic heart" is a triumph, a resounding success. I am excited for part 3 (this is the closest I could get to eyes emoji just know that's what I'm doin right now, peepin)

Life Improvised : Trick AND Treat by Kengplant

Griff's dramatic entrance is EVERYTHING (sorry ShereKong but the man stunted on you big time). Also what is that I spy in his office on the wall... already got a picture of Lar up there. I love this family so much, precious, each and every one of them

(also yes that's Sura's room, he's a stinky, messy, gymrat sports boy who never cleans it)

Blossoms~ Digging Deep Part 7 by Twillie

I love all the poses and positioning here. You never waste a panel (on this one or any of your comics) and this one has such good motion to it. Poor Twillie though, being a guardian is hard (bless Cherry for being the glue holding it all together!!).

The Fright Side: Uninvited Guest part 2 by halloween_luck

Punchline here is immaculate and also I love the way you draw these characters. I'm hopeful to see part 3 in the next issue!
