Oh man if that's Nyx's brother I'm gonna freak out
Also is vira walking him on a leash. Like no shame but Also, thank you prize shop for avie #385 It looks to me more like she's got one of those pointy-thing-on-a-chain type weapons, and we just can't see her other hand. I just checked back, and you can see it more clearly here. Although she does seem to have him on a figurative leash. Re: The codes: Yeah, "Gourmandizer" doesn't work for me. It COULD technically make sense in an eater-of-worlds kind of way, but it's just such an odd pick. It's too long, the sounds are too soft, it doesn't land, it has more connotations with food criticism than with all-devouring black holes. Don't like. Hoping it's a Neopets specific word or something we all just haven't thought of yet. A few people have also noted that the second word in the cipher already starts with G, so "gourmandizer" would map G onto G. Which is kind of lame as ciphers go.

Double-posting here, but like. Does anyone else think the comic is at its best when nobody's talking? I've seen a fair bit of criticism of the comic's dialog. Speech is stiff and stilted and all the characters kind of sound the same. But the silent pages are actually pretty brilliant. There was the intro with the reaction montage of Meridell getting greyed out, that frankly beautiful page of Baelia watching the stars, Nyx's flashback, and probably others, including the most recent page. The dialog-less pages (or even single panels!) are visually striking and emotionally evocative, while the pages with speech are just... cringey like a compulsory 9th grade creative writing unit. Clearly they just need to make the rest of the comic silent and it'll be amazing.

The art would probably still come out kind of funky, but I do think the pacing for today's comic update was really good! Good compositions and angles, their full reveal of the Yurble is A+ for me.
Also, now that the Altador Cup is over, does this mean they'll put the Void Within icon back on the home page? (pleeeease TNT >>)

Bit of an art bump on that last panel today. The construction on his face, while not perfect, suddenly looks way more solid and the lighting is good.

The fact that it's from dialogue is all the more impressive. As Fraze pointed out before, usually the dialogue is meh at best and cringe at worst.
