It all looks good to me. This is fineI haven't been in the thread-making game for, like, years but ended up doing this one because I figured people would at least jump on a chapter opener
cumon step it up

First thoughts are that this is a play on words regarding how alternate-reality Annies work while also getting another serving of Annie2 being honest with herself, all set to the search for the lake water and goose bone.
Wildspec: The lake water container has broken and it has seeped into the ground, warping the landscape around it constantly.

As far as speculation fuel goes, the chapter icon looks a little fiery:  |

Based on the graphic for the chapter title page, it's almost time for MAD ANNIE: FURY COURT.

Now That's an interesting title card. Even a little ominous. There's a lot of ways perspective could be taken. The first one that jumped out to me was how Annie and Kat view the ether differently.

Perspective can also be timewise. Annie can look back on how she's evolved over the years. Maybe Rey's got some perspective on his previous heinous acts?

Is that selfish if she scream "there are at least two Kats out there without Annies and I don't know where MY Annie is!" at them? |

Kat pops into a series of post-apocalyptic alt-realities (holographic perspectives on the true five-dimensional reality helix), each of which is shittier than the last. She does this using paintings with footsteps science, but all she manages to do is accumulate more and more fake Annies waving bundles of homework, making petulant demands and fighting each other. She drops them all off at the Nightmare Zone when she's ultimately cured of her need to have an Annie around in the first place. NAILED IT

If this is Kat trying to sort things out, she'd probably look into getting an appointment with the group Clippy mentioned, Temporal Affairs. Clippy "claimed" that new timeline/dimensions were created when Loup "shifted" the two Annies here, but he may have been partially misinformed.
It would be an interesting chapter, if we saw the Court/Loup struggle from different peoples' POV. How do others view all this brouhaha?

What we've all been waiting for: A chapter about Brunelleschi. I don't know about you all, but Im having a hard time getting perspective on what Im actually looking at. Are we inside a (ruined?) building, lit thru a domed annex in the distance? (But if It is this ruined, with floor deeply covered in rubble, there'd probably be a hole in the roof/ceiling but no light comes from above...). Or are we outside, with some weird glow-y thing coming into view (Court drone?)? Seems more likely the former, but the lighting still puzzles me a bit.... |

Heh. I'm not sure I believe my own late-night wildspec, unless the the Brunelleschi of the Gunnerverse is a temporal engineer.
But then again, what was his idea? (No, not the dome one.) Two parallel lines which converge on the horizon.
Maybe it's time for some convergence.

Well, at least one thing is clear -- there is some ruined reinforced concrete in the foreground. Maybe we're looking at things that are close to the roots of one of the great trees inside the Court. That would fit with a search for Coyote's gifts. And with the roots disrupting everything, the rubble could end up anywhere. Maybe we're looking out of a tunnel and the ruins came from a lower level plowed up by the Tree?
What doesn't fit with anything I can think of is the domelike structure. Maybe that's a new element about to be introduced, like bas-relief Saslamel in the previous title page.

The first thing that popped to my mind was the Zero Punctuation review of Fallout New Vegas, where Yahtzee says "Perspective thus gained..." after describing getting his legs blown off by a landmine. So if this chapter isn't about one of the Annies gaining perspective via spontaneous eruption of a fireball to the face, I will be disappointed.  |

We are looking at what remains of the Court in a timeline where Annie did not come back from the Forest. |

In which we check how the forest creatures (well, the ones not frozen in time) are taking this whole attack/invasion thing.

I just noticed that Tom sounds like he's thanking Gunnerkrigg Court for reading this comic. ("Thanks for reading this comic, Gunnerkrigg Court!")
THEY KNOW.
