A mother will do almost anything to protect her child. Even if that child has done something horrible. That Typh/Tiff, feels shock/sorrow for that, possibly she will find out for herself.
Typh’s mom coming to his rescue against the father he adored seems to have been an eye opening experience for him.
Does the mom seem non-chalaunt in panel 3, like she is saying “you have a bit of dirt on your cheek, let me get it with this knife”
Hmm
Ok Maybe the Barbarian of this world aren’t a bit more homophobic than what is usual…
But just to say… In the ancient world [like Rome for example] BEING active NEVER was a big issue, it was STILL dominating the enemy. Being passive on the other hand…
Well, we know its at this point that Tiff’s brother is holding the servant girl at knife-point. I’m guessing either Gillian had another knife and mortally wounded him as her dying action, or Tiff comes in with the enchanted sword and does it. Other option is Gillian’s blade was poisoned.
Mom’s faces in panels 3 and 5 are a little too relaxed.
Also, the way that knife is moving in panel 3 only seems to make sense if it just came out of Dad’s neck.
Gillian looks angry in panel 3, not ‘relaxed’, and as for panel 5, she’s just had a dagger inserted forcibly (and without anaesthetic) into her heart, looking shocked, yes, but not relaxed
But do agree about the dagger in panel 3: the way his (black) blood appears to be wrapping around the blade like that gives the impressing the blade either was fuly inserted or impacted Rave from the side away from him (difficult to show it correctly because the tip is cut off by the panel border)
Well no panel 3 expression really DOESN’T seem angry.. seems more like “Meh” or somewhat disgusted… but definitely doesn’t give angry vibes
The movement of the dagger is also strange
Well, one thing that this page doesn’t do terribly well is demonstrate that the action here isn’t one immediately after the other. I suspect when I go back to edit dialogue that I’ll add a text box to try and give a better sense of time.
Frames 2, 3, and 4 especially have time elapse. The entire spat between Gillian and Raviner takes over a minute.
@Wu I think it was more a case of Dad being homophobic than Barbarian of this world being more homophobic.
I call it now his brother Kills the Slob.
@chemiclord: yeah, either an image of Ravin with more wounds from the tussle with Gillian in the middle there or (more simply) some additional text from Tiff about her amazingly lasting a minute in a fight with him (more elegent though *lol* )
There’s a lot of resemblance between Tiff and her mother, huh? Like, enough that I could probably mistake one for the other if they were taken out of context.
To a degree maybe one could argue that comes from simple genetics, but wasn’t Faden’s curse apparently turning Tiff into what her ideal example of a woman would be?
She’s turning into her mother; the woman who stood up for her, even when it meant death. Looks like this moment had a pretty big impact on how she views women as a whole.
A thousand reasons to want you dead, and they all fade into insignificance beside the one reason to want you alive: you are her child.
No matter how you came to be, or how your relationship soured, you were not her enemy when you were in her womb, you were not her enemy when you lay in her arms and drank her milk. You were her child.
Okay, Tiffany is really the spitting image of her own mother. The resemblance is so uncanny, that you may have thought it was Tiff who got stabbed at the second to the last panel….
Wow, extra strip this week?
She looks detached in the first and last panel of her attack, because her lips are closed. Fighters generally snarl, baring their teeth, when they attack, her mouth is barely open even when she’s spitting blood. Her lips are open in the panel where he takes her dagger, so it’s not that she can’t open her mouth.
@SGM I don’t see her expression in the fifth panel so much detachment as it is the sheer shock of tying to process, “Oh, I just got stabbed.”
Silly Green Monkey: look at panel 3 again, her mouth is open
If her lips are parted, it’s only barely, and definitely not drawn back in a snarl like his—Behr’s had a combat face all along.
