Wow. This comic's always had awesome art, especially in the recent chapters, but Tom's really outdone himself in the last few pages. I wish I could print them out and wallpaper my room with them or something. They're so beautiful!

Now I cant stop imagining the page quote being read by John Cleese circa Monty Python. Specifically his tone of voice in the "The Larch" sketch.
Like I said a few threads ago, the art is getting seriously impressive. The subject matter just lends itself perfectly to fantastic and wildly varying graphical styles and effects.

Naw, she's just kind of "hmm, well that's interesting." or perhaps she's thinking about the strange tidal effects caused by pulling the moon out of the sky. Or maybe she's looking for the secret enigmaron base.
Coyote is a total showoff.

"It is magic....Faerie cannot be explained away with talk of inebriation, pre-Christian religions, or cave men. Magic is the nature, the tool, and the weapon of the Folk, and nothing makes you so vulnerable to them as refusing to believe in it. Magic will be thick on the ground tonight, and if you are busy trying to explain it away, it will have you by the throat in an instant."
-- The Phouka, in Emma Bull's War for the Oaks, Ace Books, 1987, p. 128
And not at all by the way, I concur with everyone saying how gorgeous the art has been for Annie's visit to Coyote.
Annie poking the moon just surprised the heck out of me, and makes me giggle to look at it.

I think it's fair to say that Coyote is, indeed, very powerful.

Very cool..
unless Coyote just hypnotized Annie with those glowing eyes and it's all just an illusion.

You know, as scary powerful as this implies Coyote to be (whether or not he ACTUALLY tricked the moon into coming down for him), Annie is just TOO DANGED ADORABLE in the last panel. D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Panel 5 would make a beautiful banner. If I wasn't already a Gunner fan, I'd DEFINITELY check it out if I saw that somewhere.

I gotta say, Tom you're really outdoing yourself in this chapter...the story is unfolding real nicely and the artwork is spectacular...it's always a pleasure to open up my computer in the morning and to see this comic first thing.

...is that for real? or is the trickster playing a trick? How do you define reality? How do you know if something isn't real, even though you can see it and touch it? Don't answer, those are rethorical questions. ;D |

"It seems that someone had pinched the moon, and Coyote offered to stand in as replacement. Everyone agreed that he made a fine moon, but from his elevated position Coyote could see everything that was going on." Hahahahaha ! |

Now there's soemthing you don't see every day. Although I have to wonder if it isn't an illusion.
It seems like every second page is a real "wow" moment in this chapter.

Artistically, this has to be one of my new favorite pages. The glowing effect of Coyote's eyes after he enters the sky, the detail of Annies in panel 5 as she looks over the moonscape, the outline of her hand as she reaches out to touch it...and then it all gets popped by the last panel.  |

Wow. That page was just awesome. *faints* I love the reflection of the moon in Annie's eyes, as well as her poking it to see if she was imagining things. And Coyote....whatta showoff. |

Annie don't break the moon plz A lot of other people are using it .. and somewhere, due to a mysterious lack of tidal force, a group of children wandering the mudflats drowns in the suddenly returning flood. |

It'd be sweet if annie carved her name on the moon, Bond villian style.

I wonder if there will be a new crater on the moon when it gets put back...
I have no problems with Coyote being able to do this. Trickster or not, he's still a deity, and messing with the sun, moon, and stars tends to be part of the basics for beings like that.

I wouldn't have advised Annie to poke the moon - for all that we know, when Coyote brings the moon down like that, it squirts whipped cream into the face of anyone who touches it.

Breathtaking art.
I'm just dying to see what Kat will say when Annie tell her she touched the friggin' Moon.

I take my speculation regarding his eyes and hypnotism back.
Obviously he made the moon glow and as we learned a few pages before, his eyes are the moon thus his eyes are glowing too.

Kat: *wide eyed* "Hey hey, so tell me, you saw it up close--were you able to observe the effects of solar winds on the surface decay bla bla bla bla...(trails off into scientific jargon)" Annie: "I...I just poked at it a bit." |

"Poking the moon" sounds very much the name of a near impossible hand in poker....

Honey, I shrunk the moon! Except -- assuming this is not some petty illusion -- except that I think what Coyote has done is far more impressive: He has temporarily elevated Annie to his own god-like status. Not that he's made her or the moon big or small; simply that she is now in a state where size doesn't matter. === |

I love how when he brings the moon down, the sky becomes black, and what was the trees becomes starry.
