In order if likelihood in my opinion
Attack being stoped by Annie with button, Annie stops attack with sword, Loup stops it with his powers, Robots promise is magically binding, Coyote is unable to actually kill as an echo, Rey counter attacks, Kat does something that would typically be considered impossible, Coyote eats Lana, Atta recuses everone with flowers.
Lana being devoured would give Loup new reason to rampage, but I still don't think Lana is dying. Great page, love the crocodile Coyote.

You left out "Lana saves herself through superior Noobmen reflexes." imho most likely is a romantic save by Jerrek, though.
[edit] Ysengrin loved Coyote no matter how badly he was abused... but Loup/Jerrek isn't exactly Ysengrin. If he stops Coyote's attack or not, he might be able to get mad at him for Lana's sake. Being able to stand up to and/or resent Coyote would be a step forward to recovering from that abuse, I think... [/edit]

I don't get what you mean by that, what button? I think Annie defending Lana with the sword sounds right though |

I also thought initially that Annie should press the button, but didn't Kat calibrate that speciffically for Loup? Wouldn't that mean that Annie would accidentally trap Loup to just sit and watch his girlfriend die?

... Robots promise is magically binding... Nice twist, except that promise was made by Loup. |

... Robots promise is magically binding... Nice twist, except that promise was made by Loup. Well, in the comic logic the promise was between Jerrek and Robot in a time where Coyote was INSIDE of Loup, so yes, it could apply to this manifestation. In the descending order of probability, "Lana KICKS COYOTE's A** SO BADLY HE DIES AGAIN OF PURE SHAME" |

I wonder if Annie slices Coyote in two with his tooth if that will cause his ghost to cease to exist or just get absorbed again by Loup. That would be a quick way to stop this little temper tantrum in its tracks.

It REALLY feels like this isn't Coyote. It feels A LOT like Loup. Like the Loup that we've seen internal monologuing sometimes inside Jerrek's head.
Man, this is weird.

I'm disappointed in Coyote. I can accept a lot from him but being a hypocrite. He himself has gotten lost in a disguise before to the point he almost stopped existing. He has no grounds to berate Loup about it.

Loup is nothing but a mix between Coyote and Ysengrim. He shows Ysengrim's insecurities and obsessiveness over people he "loves" combined with Coyote's arrogance, narcissism and sadistic playfulness, and both creatures' bad tempers... Coyote looked "nicer" than Loup because we have only seen him in good spirits, controlling everything, manipulating everybody like puppets, playing with them like a cat plays with a mouse...
But now? Coyote died for this sadistic prank! He spent centuries preparing this! And now the joke is ruined! Ruined!
So we are seeing the part of Coyote that made Loup into a temper tantrum-prone creature now...

I've been withholding judgement because Coyote is known for bluffing like this.
That said I am becoming more inclined towards believing that he's genuinely upset this time. The motion lines make this look more like an attack than the grandstanding of the other example.
Of course, that might be exactly what Tom wants us to think before it turns out it was a bluff after all.
Honestly can't be sure of anything until after it has actually happened when it comes to someone like Coyote.

Yeah, not buying it either. He provokes a reaction. Isn't he still attached tho? So cage will at least get him somewhat No, see the previous page. The question is, what would happen if the cage separated them? |

Coyote is in a rage at his plans going awry. He first confronts Jerrek/Loup, his eyes right up against Jerrek's head and his claw on the other side; Jerrek looks quite apprehensive. He accuses Loup of having become "lost in [his] disguise."
He then turns to Lana, who no longer looks sanguine and happy as Coyote comes rushing toward her in fury. He opens his mouth wide, his head becoming huge, as Lana falls backwards in fear. The image is distorted as if seen through a fish-eye lens; the horizon is warped upwards to the left and right. Speed lines indicate how fast this is happening.
So ... will Coyote chomp Lana? Well ... Coyote-echo, anyway. I note that we're seeing his mouth with a degree of detail and from an angle where the missing tooth should be obvious, and there's no missing tooth. We already know this isn't the real Coyote. It's unclear that he can chomp Lana. But even if he can, will Loup intervene? He's right there, and he has all the power of Coyote (and Ysengrin). What's more, Annie is also there; will she try to protect Lana? And then there's the matter of Kat. Will the Angel intervene? But this assumes that there will be any need for intervention. Coyote's echo may know that he's all bluster.

He's taking this well.
I'm guessing nothing will happen to Lana. No matter how it comes about.
Coyote wanted to be dead. It doesn't get more dead, than your plans falling apart, and being unable to chomp people.

Wild guess: Lana is part of the disguise; therefore even if she dies, it's just Loup in an etheric wig and bodysuit.
Or! Coyote echo is bluffing. Either for some "trick Loup and Annie into doing something dumb" reason, or because Coyote Echo isn't actually real, therefore can't harm Lana.
I had some crazy idea about Annie pushing the button, trapping the wrong person - Jerrek/ Loup, and somehow trapping Jerrek leads to killing Jerrek, fulfilling the prophecy, but I can't figure out the ending.

It's not quite clear to me what goal Coyote wants to accomplish by eating Lana (who'll probably taste foul to him) apart from managing his own anger.

It's not quite clear to me what goal Coyote wants to accomplish by eating Lana (who'll probably taste foul to him) apart from managing his own anger. I think it's about a substitute for his usual anger management. I get that he'd be mad, since the manipulations that he spent years on didn't go the way he wanted and another god has apparently interfered with his plan... but Coyote seems more mad than he should be considering much of his plan remains intact, or at worst seems very salvageable. And sure, humans are just like ants to Coyote, and arguably Lana isn't even a real human. Eating her up would probably mean less than crushing an annoying ant would to a human, maybe about as much as a human hitting a desk with a fist in frustration because they forgot to save and lost some work. He might gain something from it in the way of knowledge that Lana knew (even though she probably wouldn't be that tasty) but Jerrek/Loup seems eager to spill the beans about this new god. I guess it's an act of revenge against this new deity that messed with his plan... but a teeny one considering how low his regard for Lana is, and it would seem to be counterproductive in any future manipulation of "Loup" and Antimony, therefore harmful to his plan. That clawed hand in panel #1 reaching for Jerrek but never grabbing him may be a clue. I think what Coyote really wants to do is abuse the crap out of Ysengrin as he's accustomed to doing but he can't do that because Antimony's watching... so he's just going to eat Lana instead even though it doesn't seem very useful, and might be harmful. If Coyote was a human I might think this was a bit of an impulse control problem peeking out. |
