So it's all going to hell right the fuck now

Fuck, what if Smitty isn't even the only one who dies? How many of them are even going to survive this?

Wow. Square in the chest there Smitty. Hope you carry your Bible close to your heart.

Oh no, Smitty really was stabbed!

Also, Red and Blue kinda look like they're drawn in a different artstyle this page.

Tom actually did it. Also is that the dead Forest Elf pulling a Dr. Manhattan?

Jeanne "hits" the esoteric part rather than the physical part. I wonder how this will effect Smitty.

"Let's go save the murderghost, what could go wrong?" Oh, I don't know, maybe the GHOST will MURDER YOU

Annie and Kat can't die, Blue dying would be weird.
That leaves Red and Parley.

All those rainbow-threads gotta be attached to something inside him, yeah?

...

Oh...

>Parley and Smitty are No Longer In This One

She's not going to get named Blue, is she?

can a photoshopfag swap kat and blue's skin tones?

Kind of looks like Annie's chopped Smitty's head off, Perseus-style.

Now there's a vintage meme

Seriously, though, that's some nice design there. The elf-zombie-hand surprise doesn't draw your attention before your eye reaches the final panel.

Exquisite!

He really does have a talent for layout.

What does this mean for Smitty? How is this lucky? She got him right in the fucking chest.

What will Smitty's psychopomp be?

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART

Smitty's expression doesn't quite match the one of a person who's been stabbed

...

It's a moment frozen in time. The blade's not even all the way in yet, this is likely a half-second after the stab. At that point his surprise is probably still from the fact that Jeanne was so close at all.

Stabs aren't instantly painful. People say it feels like being kicked and the pain after the shock of it.

>MFW the hand

NOT ONE STEP FURTHER, YOU MONSTER

so he loses his powers or his powers become ggodlike

>No Tandead elf.

That's rough buddy.

>the elf will now emerge and stop jeanie's rampage and they will peacefully depart
>smitty will emerge essentially unharmed thanks to his luck

I'm scared that the battle is almost over, since it'll be another 2 or 3 years until something happens again

Naw, m8, we won't have to wait. This is going to kick off heightened tensions between the Forest and the Court, since with Jeanne gone there's no stopping anything from the Forest from crossing the Annan Waters. This is going to allow Coyote to put his on-hold plans in motion. This is going to force the hand of the Headmaster and his cabal.

Shit is about to go down.

We still have at least 10 pages to go in the chapter.

>parley dropped her sword
yup the knife is coming out

they're so shocked they turned into animu

>elf will now emerge and
.. open his right hand saying, "Take this"

He'll be fine. She probably just pierced a lot of his bones.

I think Tom's just trying something different for the profiles. Good on him, that is probably one the things that he is weakest at drawing (or at least never seems to get quite working with the rest of the art-style). I'm not sure if it worked out too well here but it's good that he's pushing himself in that regard.

My prediction on Friday was that with Smitty gravely injured and the Jeanne situation made worse, the gang make a retreat and blip out of there.

They'd have to face consequences trying to explain what happened to Smitty and Kat's brainjacking Annie. Meanwhile they have the arrow to examine to figure out what when wrong. Keeps the ball rolling.

But with that boney hand coming out, it looks like might happen afterall.

>"Wow, thank god I was already missing that particular section of my chest! Shame about the hoodie."

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss!
Get eaten by a Zombie, Annie!

...

This is my dream.

Maybe he was focusing his powers so badly on Jeanne and Parley that, as an unintended consequence, they stopped working on automatic for himself.

Yeah, Parley could've really easily stabbed Parley here instead.

So, Parley is going to also become a vengeful ghost lady bound to the lake where her lover was killed?

you missed her on the boat in the 4th pannel

The date of smitty's execution...has been moved forward.

is this the moment when GK switches tone and becomes a survival horror comic, like Crossed?

i, for one, certainly hope so.

where's robot/shadow?

for Jeanne and elf-boy to be freed, Parley and Smitty must replace them!

nice work Annie, you stupid bitch.

I don't know what crossed is, but a 'getting out of the gorge' arc would no shit be great! :D

Though it was Parley who insisted that they confront Jeanne without talking to Jones.

>parley dies
>no way to escape

>hoping anything becomes like Crossed
exile yourself from modern civilization you cock harlot

>No blood
>blood

I don't think anyone is dying.

inb4 this was the plan all along and he was really some trap the strings were wrapped deceptively around.

>no way to escape
The others are hunted down, but Kat is biding her time, repurposing the tech she brought, training, steeling herself, preparing primitive traps and pulls a Predator.

Main gauches conveniently don't draw that much blood until pulled out.

calling it now, smithy's power work into place making the stab miss organs, blood vessels and even nerves.

...

Can Annie pls die, Tom?
Annie needs to die super bad.

Somebody drag Imaa back here to draw Kat caked in mud and wielding a bow.

And sporting sick gainz!

Who do you think wrote this?
But I don't have much time tho!
I wish I could draw gunnerkrigg right now, but every time I do I get carried away.

Smitties powers are so annoying that they needed a quick asspull for Jeanne to be threatening again. Tom probably wants to get rid of them more than he wants to expand them.

If that were the case he could simply write restrictions into them.

underrated post

>survival horror
>Crossed
Are you touched in the head, boy? How is Crossed in any way survival horror? It's not even really horror, it's just torture/murder porn.

...

Oh you! *insert that face made of japanese shit I don't know how to do*

I bet that knife went into him exactly the right way so as to miss all his organs, bones and arteries/veins.

> not wanting GK to degenerate into torture/ murder porn

Looks like it hit exactly where his heart should be.
>inb4 situs inversus

Jeanne probably cut the strings connecting to her before she attacked so the wound is probably fatal

Parley can escape perfectly fine.Her teleports may be pretty damn random but they probably still suffice when the coordinate is "anywhere but here."

You can't teleport if you're dead.

>gee isn't it lucky i have no organs because i am in fact a robot

That's not even the right shade.

...

Cease

nice to see Dickleaf pulling a Jason here

Okay, that's it!
I'm gonna have to draw Kill la Kill AnnieKat and Predator Kat now...

>it's actually a theater dagger
>she didn't realize she died with one because she never had to use it up until now
>jeanne commenting after being brought back to her senses by elf zombie: "lucky boy"

>Kubo

It would be a legit ballsy plot move if Annie's freeing of Jeanne and elf-boy was balanced out by Smitty's death and Parley loathing and hating Annie forever as a consequence.

And the rest of the Court being pretty pissed off also: "So, you got one of our most promising students killed by recklessly interfering in something that you didn't have a clue about? Expelled, bitch."

>her heart was run through and left to die there.

What are the odds of Parley replacing Jeanne?

20%

If they expel annie she could just move over to the forest. And visit the court as she pleases because the river is not protected anymore.

Nothing changes.

I want exactly that.
I have wanted it ever since Annie became forest medium.

I have some mixed feelings on this. On one had, I like Smitty and don't want him to die. On the other, this could seriously be a legit ballsy plot move as says.
I'll just remain content in the fact that whatever happens next will at the very least be some crazy bullshit.

And Tony will just be fine with that? And Coyote? Renard?

>And Tony will just be fine with that? And Coyote? Renard?
Why wouldn't they be?

Tony will be ok with it because it means his daughter is safe and Coyote and Renard have no reason to not be ok with it.

If it turns out to be another fake-out, Tom can fuck right off. On the other hand, if Smitty dies, Tom can also fuck right off.

I don't know what my point is.

Nobody is dying aside from Smitty.

Blue had her faux-death so she is safe.
Kat and Annie? Nah, get used to seeing these two until the epilouge chapter.
Red? Good God, I hope so. Yet, unlikely.
Parley? 2stronk. I doubt it.

>tfw now that Smitty is dead Parley can be my gf

>safe
>in the forest
Tony got pretty fucked by the psychopomps. I don't think he's much of a fan of the Court now either, but I doubt he'd be happy with his daughter hanging around with all the etheric bullshit that inhabits the forest.

I can't remember if Renard has some issue with the Forest but I have a vague feeling returning to the Forest isn't a thing he can do, for some reason? I might be completely fucking wrong with that one.
