    Never underestimate tiny kids with instruments!


    I’m alarmed by the colors in panel 2, though. It’s not just Thea’s magic swirls that are taking on the yellow of Arpana’s power - it’s bleeding into her skirt and hair too.

      We know there's Seven Deadlies that make up one set. If Thea replaces the black void in herself with essence from all four anchors - well, what set will she be completing??

    Gotta admire the feisty and loyal kids. I wonder if the instruments would provide better defense if played than if wielded like clubs, but not much time. Interesting that Arpana's magic had musical notes.

      Actually, one of the kids is hitting his cymbals, and I'm not sure the flutist and the drumist aren't playing a few notes in the 4th panel. Maybe not, it's just the natural way to hold an instrument.

      The guitarist (cytharist?) is swinging her instrument, OK.

      Let's say she is playing percussions.

    Never underestimate the obnoxiousness of screaming children!


    I love these brave little kids. I love seeing the "make lots of noise and angry movement to catch someone off-guard and drive them away" strategy pay off. I love this comic.

    If the Anchor is sentient, then it's a spirit. That means that Thea is a spirit eater of some flavor. Don't like that color bleeding into her dress and hair.

    I also wonder if she'll have a harder time trying to eat the other two anchors. Her's is the one balancing against Chomolungma, whereas Widdershins and Tapu Tohunga Motu are a different pole of anchors.

    Won't attack kids. Not completely lost in herself, then.

    Two down. Two to go.

    i love that the little purple kid's first reaction after "defend against the attacker" is concern for that attacker. <3

    Beware of Tibetan kids with instruments - they are not afraid to use them

    So anchors have a limited about of power that (apparently) recharges.

    Arpana: How are you so strong?

    Thea: I had to be, to survive.
