I hate to post this on a public forum, but I tried to set up a new account on the forums and kept failing the security check. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong, I don’t know what the “security check” is actually checking…
ANYWAY.
Panel 5 appears to have missed some editing. The spelling there is… …pretty bad. The other panels appear to be fine.
PLEASE feel free to delete this comment once you read it– you probably don’t want it here. If I could have PMed you in any way I would have done so, sorry.
Seconded. Hope my corrections don’t sound too obnoxious:
“This flimsy [noun missing] is highly entertaining, you monkeys have come a long way…. what is that? Why does Loki have such hugely ridiculous horns on his helmet? Even during his stupid headwear phase, the trickster [or Trickster] was never so… garish!”
“While this is highly entertaining and I wish to read more of these… comical books,
“I fail to see the relevance with Loki framing a misunderstood beast of great power…”
Obviously capitalisation isn’t important in all caps. Also, missing quotation mark is intentional, as the next line starts with a quotation mark from the same person. But those are all about my grammar. The spelling should be accurate.
I would say you could be right, but think of this as someone speaking vs what we know now. She is of old Norse mythology and not from our present. By definition of Head-ware she could be referencing about the ‘make’ of his headgear and not that it is actual head-wear.
Also she is calling him a Tricker vs Trickster. She is conveying his as a tricker of sorts. This is after all dialect from someone ‘not’ of our timeframe. That may be the intent of the writer and how people ‘butcher’ the language.
Forever I’m wandering, around in my head,
Wondering and pondering, words we once said.
Thinking on thoughts, where memories do tread.
Contemplating creating, both the living and dead.
Such challenging follicles, quite often run red,
When the heir of the crown, is so easily misled.
Seeking what’s fair, without fear of bloodshed,
Yet do not despair, for the wise are well read.
Across tales ever told, fate winds a fine thread,
Through turbulent times, our stories are spread.
Forms ever changing, willing minds must be fed,
Until mankind divines, wherein meaning is bred.
In context and style, we let pass aside dread,
And instead with a smile, seek what lies ahead.
While dreams often falter, faith has not fled.
We recall the encounter, and fall softly to bed.
First panel: You’re in denial comic book nerd. It’s kinda clear that Sonja is slowly becoming her own entity.
The fact Freya finds the comics so entertaining so fast suggests she absorbed some of Jason’s traits when she incarnated through him.
Also, can you blame any of the gods not wanting to politely go back to the screaming silent void of oblivion or (as I believe the ‘nice’ solution is going to be) be trapped in some digital bird cage?
Some of you might be wondering why Jason keeps large piles of sand in his mind, next to his comic books.
The obvious answer is to discourage fallen Jedi from poking around in there. They find it’s coarse, irritating, and gets everywhere.
I don’t see it as sand as more than all of his comics (and other belongings in his mind) have been strewn over one another and he has to reorganize them all again.
Looking forward to this storyline getting over. Hopefully if the comic continues after it, we’ll get back to furthering the main overall plot and some much better writing, or at least something on par with the older comics.
No offense to the artist, but I just wish Anne would come back or Ian would take money to draw it again. The current art is not awful, it just hasn’t felt like the old comic.
that experssion at the end is classic.

flimsy (flimsie) -british- noun a document, especially a copy, made on very thin paper.
Wow… that panel was REALLY bad. I got it all fixed.
You still missed a couple.
“head-ware” -> “head-wear”
“tricker” -> “trickster”

Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but it seems to me that the last speech bubble in the last panel should be attributed to Jason.
Yeah, that would make a lot of sense. Doesn’t make much sense coming out of Freya’s mouth.
Think of it as her admitting Jason figured out the riddle that she couldn’t. That’s how I looked at it.
Y’think I hadn’t tried that already?
It STILL sounds a bit weird.
It would be less weird if she said, “And I think _I_ got it.” Or at least more grammatically correct.
But I think it would still be more logical if Jason said it.

You really might want someone to proof read this…

And the penny drops
Heh. Perfect way to get the message across. XD
And there was a mighty, loud, thump as the clue bird landed upon Freya’s brow.
Methinks that I shalt rename the “scurrilous Loki” to be the “mighty Sore!”
Yes, the eagle has landed, and Freya is making the connecting that Loki is tricking her into doing his bidding.
Some of you might be wondering why Jason keeps large piles of sand in his mind, next to his comic books.

I mean, it’s like “Welcome to Sandy Land”!
I don’t see it as sand as more than all of his comics (and other belongings in his mind) have been strewn over one another and he has to reorganize them all again.
ooooohhhh, now it connects….
Whooot! You tell her, Jason! This is why, despite Anne being the main character, you are the best Wotch character. Peroid.
Seems that the last bit of text in the 6th panel should be separate from the rest and going to Jason, not connected to Freya.
Look at Panel 4. She doesn’t think he’s capable of understanding things and then the last is telling him that he gets it as well as she.
panel 2 looks like a munchkin card.
Looking forward to this storyline getting over. Hopefully if the comic continues after it, we’ll get back to furthering the main overall plot and some much better writing, or at least something on par with the older comics.

i can’t believe that worked
