Oh, right, this was going on, too. Nearly forgot this wasn't only about Annie in the ether and Kat in her memories :-D

I can see why the Blue one needs to stay, and Parsmit. But I think they could evacuate Red from there now that they're on plan B. Maybe Red has some sort of role.

All the other fairies had some sort of etheric power. Did we ever find out what Red's was? EDIT: Or is it just the power of Hair That Goes Up? |

You will see that Red plays a crucial part in it: |

I think the most important thing to mull over on this page is: "CLANG"!
What we've seen about Jeanne so far, it would have been intuitive to assume that her etheric ghost ecto-blade could beat any iron sword, but apparently not.
Also, Parley is not wielding the coyote's tooth, but a normal sword.

While trying to think of a Princess Bride joke, I noticed something. Is Robot right-handed?
Since Jeanne is fighting right-handed, going southpaw (southblade?) would give Robot a little edge (pun intended). I would imagine the robots are ambidextrous. Then again, Diego's ego could have had him place plenty of his personal quirks into the machines; both physical and emotional...

Ok, why were robots eyes orange in the previous page, and green in this one?

Hooray! It is indeed Robot! Our Robot! Ok, why were robots eyes orange in the previous page, and green in this one? Just a random guess: maybe they flash back and forth. Since he's not actively attacking in that panel, they are green. Or maybe for artistic reasons, Tom wanted both of their eyes green in those two panels. Or it was an error. Who knows! While trying to think of a Princess Bride joke, I noticed something. Is Robot right-handed? Since Jeanne is fighting right-handed, going southpaw (southblade?) would give Robot a little edge (pun intended). ... Do you think he'd be as or more effective fighting with the new hand Kat gave him? Interesting thought... It's noteworthy how that hand goes all weird in Blue's illusion. |

The Coyote's tooth is i think of the table after the accident, or maybe it a plan C or something, Because they have so stellar racord on risk assessment thus far, now they are going like "oh no, that thing is dangerous, better not use it unless we absolutely must!" How I see it, they went to the danger flags fying and trumpets blowing as usual, and got rescued by robot who's keeping Jeanny busy and still partially in illusion. |

The area around robot's head is also dark and jagged, as though there is a tear in the illusion?

It looks like Jeanne's blade was able to tear through Blue's illusion to reveal robot's true face. I wonder if using him as a distraction was always part of the plan? We didn't see him in this scene but here it looks like he came from behind Jeanne so he would have been "off screen" as it were. No one else is reacting with surprise to his presence in the illusion, which makes me think he was included in the plan rather than showing up as a party crasher. I'm so curious how the set up for this ruse happened. What's the range on Blue's ability? How many people/objects can Parley *bip* in at once? Presumably they tested Blue's ability on another ghost before trying it on Jeanne and suspected that Annie interacting with the arrow might set Jeanne off to the point where they would need a distraction to keep the illusion in tact and keep everyone safe. |

Also, Parley is not wielding the coyote's tooth, but a normal sword. From my point of view the "clang" is because Jeanne is fighting in the ether world, where she fights with a real sword. And Blue is tranforming Robot with his weapon into Jeanne's realm. So far, we haven't seen a swordfight between her an anyone fighting with a blade as well. |

The new vertical groove in robot's face has me at a loss. Though so far we've only seen it in the Bluniverse.

In the art critique department, should Jeanne's left hand look bigger than her right one? Her right arm looks as if it should be closer if anything.
