I also assume Jeanne will "double-die", if only because it would be awkward if after they set this up they fail and have to do it all over in a later chapter. I agree that they will probably "win" this fight against Jeanne. However, that might not lead to her leaving the world right away. I could imagine a scenario in which Annie frees Jeanne from the arrow, but Jeanne decides to remain a ghost for awhile longer. Jeanne could then explore places outside the area in which she was trapped, before finally letting Annie take her into the next world. If anyone other than Jeanne is going to die in this arc, I think the most likely candidates are Parley and Blue. If Parley dies, she will have fulfilled her goal of releasing Jeanne, and it will propel a development arc for Andrew. If Blue dies, it could push Red further away from her house-mates and closer to Annie and Kat, promoting her to a more prominent role in the story. Overall, though, I think the most likely scenario is that everyone except Jeanne walks away from this scene alive.

It's starting to look like the correct answer is City Face.

It is likely that no one is going to die ... but for all those who say it's not that kind of story, well, I remember people saying that about another story I follow.
And it wasn't. Until it was. And then 3 important people died and 2 were crippled in the course of 4 chapters, leaving most of the remaining protagonists with PTSD, when no one but a barely mentioned side character had died in the >35 chapters before that.

What story are you talking about? It's hard to assess your comparison without context. Just because no one died for 35 chapters doesn't mean it's not "that kind of story". I call GC "not that kind of story" main because in past chapters Tom tended to resolve any tension quickly and rather non-dramatically (just look at the setup of "The Torn Sea" and then it's conclusion). But of course Tom could surprise us at any turn, it's not like he never surprises is.

Webcomic, book, TV show, other? I'm just trying to find out whether I know the story in question, that would narrow it down at least.

I still wonder whether the seemingly too easy victory in "The Torn Sea" was a hint about the Seraphs' real goal. The point where Annie and the others began winning without any setbacks was after Kat's interest in the robot-building project had been rekindled. The Seraphs had thus achieved their objective, and could allow the humans to undo their work. (It might also explain why the ship's adulterous desire for Lindsey went seemingly unresolved - perhaps it was just playacting to keep anyone from suspecting the Seraphs' true motives and wasn't really pursuing her.)

Don't mouse over or click if you're not willing to be spoiled.And I can think of a couple of points in this series where tension was resolved quickly and non-dramatically before the plot took a turn. To the point of receiving criticism once.

Quoting from the linked Wikipedia page: "Following [stage], [creator] posted a notice on the [website] warning [followers] that [creation] would be incorporating darker and more mature elements to the story in the future and that [follower] discretion is advised."

That was done because it had attracted some fans that were younger than the intended audience since it had been relatively lighthearted for so long. I don't know if that's the case for Gunnerkrigg. Plus since Tom is just one guy and not a company he's probably less concerned about possible backlash.

But I might be intrigued to revisit it now!
I don't think the setting is really comparable to GC. There are a lot less weapons and and no terrorism going on here. Well, time will tell what kind of bomb Tom will drop on us.

So I guess, now we are betting for Kat, right? Annie will kill her

Andrew's death seems to be gaining support. I still think it's unlikely that a major character will die at this point in the story, though.

As Annie prepares to be the psychopomp for Jeanne and the Green Man... are either of the two even technically dead already? Dead in the material world but not in the ether? She died but he was kept alive by the arrow's power? Hard one to call.

She died but he was kept alive by the arrow's power? Ya know if you are talking about Jeanne and you start a sentence with "She died and--", then there's only one way to finish it. Well, two ways, actually, depending on whether you are a human or a robot.

This poll saddens me with its lack of an Eglamore option.
