EDIT: Ninja'd. I'd guess it's a skylight. Why isn't there light coming through there? Because the weather looks like this. |

Could've been pointed out already, but Jones is incredibly heavy (or can displace solid matter). [587] shows her sinking knee deep in Parley's bed, while the kids barely sink at all. |

Ho ho ho, you should have been here back when that page came out. There was practically a civil war about whether that made her a robot or not, or if her skirt was actually just longer than we thought etc. It was amusing to watch. |

[554] Panel six: Strange beam of something shooting off into the distance. The path for the bound dog, perhaps?

I definitely didn't notice (for whatever reason) how our secret couple do that fantastic little grump in panel four when the quad pulls up. Made me chuckle. |

[614]At the bottom, notice how the back of Jack's head is outlined in a kind of ghostly way? And there seems to be some sort of force-field thing blocking all of Annie's etheric hair. Spooky. Though, of course, it could just be art embellishment.

Though, of course, it could just be art embellishment. I said something about those lines when the page first came out, give me a second to find it. Edit: Colours. We see them alot, and generally they are used as tangible 'dividers' between the characters, so as not to get them mixed up. The border around pretty much every character is black, not out of the ordinary. Here, we can see that Jack is bordered by white, in whatever it is that he's doing/is happening to him. His border breaks Annie's, which is interesting. While the pictures in the etherium are notably very fluid, Jack brings a jagged edge into the mix. Not exactly sure if it's relevant, but it is something different, and different can lead to change. Also rather nice looking. Anything else I have speculations about can probably be answered by the next page, I'd imagine. |

I don't think it's Jack's aura pushing Annie's back. I think it's the spider's. That is quite possible, and indeed possibly even quite probable. Again, see above. |

[23]As Annie and Kat head towards the Greek Mythology section, they pass a group of scenery paintings, each with a set of footprints going straight from the foreground into the distance, as if someone stepped into the painting and kept walking. I wonder if this will ever be referenced again, or if Tom just threw it in to add mystique? I tend to think of all the events of Chapter 2 as inconsequential to the overall story, with the exception of Annie and Kat becoming friends. [51]Reynardine to Eglamore: "I almost took you, this time." By "took" does he mean "possessed?" Is he saying he almost got past Anja's eye tattoo thing? Or is "took" just another way of saying "beat in a fight?" [80]Nothing new to point out, I just remembered how much I like Reynardine's pose in panel 5.

He stated (in one of the "Questions to Tom" threads, I think) that the paintings were supposed to have a role in the story but later were dropped. Don't force me to dig up the link now, it's after midnight. |

He removed the question about them from the unanswered question list (which will need updating tomorrow!), so that's also a good indication that we should forget they existed.

[52]Reynardine to Eglamore: "I almost took you, this time." By "took" does he mean "possessed?" Is he saying he almost got past Anja's eye tattoo thing? Or is "took" just another way of saying "beat in a fight?" I've thought the same thing myself, especially in light of Rey's glowing eyes of bodily possession as he speaks with Eglamore just before the scene transition. |

Yeah, I'm 99.9% sure that's what he means by 'took'. |

It's possible that Rey doesn't know they have the tattoos, and doesn't know why keeps "almost" taking him.
It's also possible, I suppose, that A D and J don't know for sure that the tattoo will stop him.

He'd have tried, and have...errored, (Failed) although we can't really say with any real definite answer, as we did not read past that. I wonder if Rey even knew that symbol did anything to him in the first place, like, when he was first captured. Anja did say that she and Donny had designed it, Rey wouldn't have seen it before. That is to say, does Rey even know exactly what the symbol does, and how it does it? |

Re:52
I recall Tom saying that if Rey had gone back into Sivo's dead body, the body would remain dead. Therefore Reynardine had at no point in the past left Sivo's body, since the body was still alive until he finally left it for the doll. Therefore at no point in the past was Reynardine very "close" to jumping from Sivo's body. It's still possible that he was close, but no so close as to try to leave yet, but it seems unlikely. I think instead that Rey was close to incapacitating or killing Eglamore, as would enable him to escape.

If I recall correctly, the last panel in the scene on the roof (after Annie has fainted), Reynardine's eyes are yellow and it looks like he's just starting to come out of Sivo through them. This suggests (but does not prove) that he is going to attempt a possession of Eglamore.
It may be that the host body dies only after a certain stage in the transfer, and if Rey is blocked quickly enough, no harm is done.

Y'all don't forget that Reynardine can make his eyes glow for cool effect: it doesn't have to mean that he's attempting a possession. Here for example. |
