Anna, I know you live in a web comic, but this isn’t comic books. The ‘can’t kill the bad guy’ rule exists in fiction land so we know who to cheer for in comic book land… and so the bad guys could appear in later issues, in web comics and other media, we’re more allowed to put down the obviously dangerous monsters. And the goods guys WERE ALLOWED TO KILL THE BAD GUUYS! Beowulf killed Grendel!
Aren’t you forgetting who those mythological beings really are?
Freya is occupying Jason’s body. Aphrodite is occupying Robin’s body. The Sphinx is occupying Katie’s body. Lycos is occupying Samantha’s body. So as far as Anne knows, Loki and Hermes are the same way – gods occupying mortal bodies. Especially since Freya and Aphrodite are both goddesses occupying mortal bodies.
As far as “reasons to not simply kill the bad guy” go, not killing the innocent people they happen to be possessing usually comes pretty high on the list.
THAT… is an actually logical answer, thank you.
Aw, great, now Loki’s got Cyclops helping him.
here comes a new challenger (Hermes joins the Brawl!)
I know it wasn’t Hermes who wrote the poem about “Golden apples of the sun,” but he does seem to have the concept down in a way that Yeats never would have imagined.
And this comic exemplifies why you *always* kill the bad guy! lol
Someone pointed out above that everyone Anne’s run into before this has been a mortal possessed by a god or other mythical figure, which means she might not realize Loki isn’t “riding” some mortal schlub at the moment. It makes sense.
you know that he’s asking for it just like another trickster in comics.
First blood shed in Wotch history and it’s a minor gash. :3 Even in that inevitable darker evolution the series stays clean.
Check again
There’s blood when Robin gets stabbed in the Most most Dangerous game
“Horse-mothering”, heh. Sleipnir has a weird origin, doesn;t it.
They’re forgetting that Anne is not just a “mere mortal”–she is the Multiversal avatar of Primordial Chaos, the embodiment of of the principle of Yin, and as the embodiment of such a fundamental concept, she ranks with such entities as Fate, Destiny, and Luck.
side bar,
look like some took off centaur-ed domain.
It is back
