I think he still cares about her, but feels a little rejected. Here he was, hoping to set himself up as a father figure to the poor girl, and he ends up losing the position to the guy who (probably) tried to murder the kid. It is not a recipe for a happy camper, and I feel sorry for the guy really.

Maybe Kat is a cyborg. That explains why she looked so horrible to Zimmy. It also explains why she can read machine code(her real eyes were replaced), and why the robots consider her an angel.

Maybe Kat is a cyborg. That explains why she looked so horrible to Zimmy. It also explains why she can read machine code(her real eyes were replaced), and why the robots consider her an angel. Actually, reading machine code would be a function of the brain, not the eyes. So, she's just had a better driver installed. ;D |

What are people theories on who Rey killed? At this point, I don't think the reader has been introduced to him. I'm not sure. We've seen plenty of characters from Surma's days at school. I think they had to be in there. I think Rey possessing someone destroyed/ended Surma and Eggers relationship. If you go back to the page it's detailed you'll see Rey possessing someone crossing the bridge which to me says the person had to be allowed to cross the bridge in the first place. I actually think it was either Eggers or Anthony, and that Surma made a deal with Coyote for their life. To me it seems like something Coyote would enjoy, destroying a relationship because he would find it funny. So basically the payment for their life was a destroyed relationship and that she could never tell Eggers and he pretended to not know that Anthony was Annie's father at Annie and Coyote's first meeting because he thought it was funny to humiliate him. Of course, I can't prove any of this |

Tom said it wasn't anyone whom we'd met in the comic yet.

Tom said it wasn't anyone whom we'd met in the comic yet. If he had said it was someone then we'd spend 1000 pages speculating. If you go to page 493 you'll see Coyote says "Why he killed that young man of course!" in a tone that suggests that he believes Annie knows who (I added the emphasis). If you go to 495 you'll see Coyote says "He steals the body of a handsome young man..." And Tom doesn't say we haven't met him, he just says" "No, you do not know who the guy is yet." Anyway, so who has been described as a handsome guy in Gunnerkrigg court?: Eggers by Kat way back at the start and Anthony by Donald in Microsat 5 |

Coyote may be a god, but he was never a god of life, even if he wanted to I don't think he could put a soul back into a body after Rey takes a body.
From the description of the power it seems for Coyote he basically completely mind controls them, for Rey it takes out there soul and replaces it with his, the soul going into the aether.

You'd have to prove that's what Reynard does when he possesse someone before I discount my theory. Coyote said that he can possess bodies without harming them and I think Coyote puts these flaws in his powers on purpose when he gives them away. Nothing stopping him from temporarily removing said flaw |

Y'know how people were saying that Zimmy could rewrite the world if she could control her powers? Well what if Smitty being put as a medium was a test to see how good his powers of being able to create order were, and then to have him collaborate with Zimmy to create some fucked up shit that they could control?
Smitty, the monster tamer

Boxbot is the main villain. He pretends to be terrible so that nobody suspects him!

My speculations and theories
1. The reason why Annie's dad is away is because he's finding a cure, finding a way to probably retain that "fire" inside Annie so that she wouldn't suffer the same fate as her mother.
In my opinion it's quite possible because as a father Anthony would care for his daughter's own well being and he wouldn't want Annie to die in the same way as her mother did. He also wants Annie to be happy, since falling in love usually leads to you know what then preggers then childbirth then Annie dying a slow, drawn out death. He would've wanted Annie experience love and all that stuff.
2. Smithy and Parley probably did it since Coyote said they smelled more like "Husband and Wife".
Bonus. Something that's been really bugging me.
Would Coyote's blade be able to cut Ms. Jones?
Is Ms. Jones made up of the same things as we are? Blood, flesh and etc.

Hey, this thread is for *wild* speculation. Not going to a kite-flying festival and speculating that there might be some wind.  There has been a lot of guessing on that question. I like my guess that the blade would go right through her but have no effect on her. There is, however, no evidence for any guess whatsoever. Probably not. Such materials do not have the structural strength, physical resilience, or density she has demonstrated, nor the long-term durability and resistance to extreme temperatures (and changes in the atmosphere) she claims to have endured. But then, archetypes, deities, and creatures with at least one foot firmly planted in the etherium work under different rules. |

My first assumption was that that Jones is indeed flesh and bone like us, just rendered magically invincible. Her apparent weight puts a hole in the theory however. She appears to weigh far more than a person her size should. www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=725www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=585 (Look at how far she sinks into the bed) |

Good eye. I never noticed that she sunk that deep in Parley's bed. I theorized that she maybe flesh and bone but a helluva lot denser. If you read Marvel comics, more specifically Thor, it is shown that Asgardians are three times denser than regular humans thus contributing to their super strength and endurance. marvel.wikia.com/Asgardians"The Asgardian gods are extremely long-lived, but not immortal like the Olympians; they age very slowly upon reaching adulthood. Their body density are three times denser than normal human beings, contributing to their superhuman strength and weight. Their superior physical vitality enables them to harness magic more easily than humans, though both races possess some extent of mystical potential" This would also explain why she's so heavy. So she maybe made of flesh and bone like we are. |

Maybe that's why Anthony wasn't interested. He can't stand dense people.

Are you calling Brinnie fat? Well, the depiction of Valkyries in opera can't have helped matters much. I wonder if Brinnie might have felt like having a few words with Richard Wagner over how, by turning her and her sisters into opera characters, they've left the world with a distorted image of their size. |

There has been a lot of guessing on that question. I like my guess that the blade would go right through her but have no effect on her. I've been thinking, that it's similar to the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object. I always thought, that a good solution to force/object paradox, was a swapping of properties. The result being an immovable force and an unstoppable object. Following that idea, if someone tried to cut Jones with the tooth, we'd end up with a tooth that takes on people's names and a still unbreakable Jones that laughs like Coyote... *shudder* This must never come to pass. Never. |

Well an unstoppable force and a immovable object are essentially the same thing, they'd just phase through each other if we take mr minute physics word for it.

Well that scenario is impossible since it presents a paradox.
If there's an unstoppable force then why is there an immovable object?
If there's an immovable object then why is there an unstoppable force?
Also an immovable object would collapse under its own gravity creating a singularity and an unstoppable force would require an infinite amount of energy which is impossible in a finite universe.
