Jack seems perfectly okay with this situation. ^_^
Is that fan lady a certain someone from Darken? Hmm... being a snake isn't such a bad thing to be.
Thus bringing my total of hidden Darken cameos to 4, I think.
There's 3 others?! * re-reads the entire archives *
They're all on walls, if that helps.
Leon and Violet were on the theatre posters, and even mentioned in dialogue.
I believe the other is Zathras. With some sort of magic act.
If that isn't a cunning plan to get us trawling through the archives and generating lots of pages hits, it will do until a cunning plan comes along. Didn't have anything else to do this weekend anyway... The only cameo that springs to mind is the Violet and Leon play in 'No Rest for the Wicked', possibly with Violet herself in panel 2.

Oh ho, and looking at the posters again, is that a Sherlock Holmes callout I see?
Depends on the snake. That looks like a constrictor. :P With plans for the evening. <_<
Given Jill's usual methods, a poisonous variety would be more appropriate.
I have got to read this. Darken, you say?
Is that Jill?
Well, she always did wear the right clothing for this time.
I feel very sorry for the (presumably very rich) man she's walking alongside. I hope he's gotten a lot out of his life, because he's certainly not going to get too much more.
THAT IS WHATSHISFACE THE TWIN BROTHER WHO RAN THE SCHOOL.
THIS IS A BLATANT DARKEN CROSSOVER.
I AM APALLED/GIDDY!
Correction: Cameo. Couldn't find the word; was too indignant/excited.
Maybe, but an alternate reading is at least possible. The snake is often a symbol of treachery and so she may well be up to something painful for someone. But the man may merely be her partner in crime whose spirit seems to have a worried expression, quite possibly based on the lady's plan being quite risky.
of course, we are highly likely to never find out.
Yeah, if it's Jill...he's going to be a corpse very, very soon. And I doubt that she cares much about painless; she's much more concerned about untraceable.
Is it bad that I thought that just from the spirit, before I saw the fan?
Nope. The woman's poison. She's so much poison, she gives snakes a bad name.
So she actually HAS a soul! And it is infinitely more okay-looking than I imagined, too!
Jack still seems to be in shock that he no longer has his power. However, it seems as if he can still see that Ben is a wizard. (Because Ben wouldn't be able to see his own corona, yet there it is.) It must be a pain to draw for two different pairs of eyes looking at the same thing when the differences are so great!
I still think they need a good bath and a strategy pow-wow--preferably with Wolfe! Rushing off to the party in their current state will only cause an uproar and warn Voss and Envy.
I was fairly certain we were viewing it via ben-vision at that point.
Huh. Just caught that Mal's eyes stay blue in spiritvision even like this. That is interesting... still, we did know that even without his Sight, he has something that even Envy can't steal.
Oh, and his aura is still visible, too, which is interesting, since Mal's wasn't in Mal-o-vision - and in fact still isn't. The latter, I imagine, is just the usual convenient perspective stuff, but the former intrigues me.
unless his blue eyes IS his aura?
Ben is so scruffy and adorable <3
But Mal seems... alarmingly okay with this situation...
Was Mal ever happy to have his 'gift?'
Only when he got to sic malforms on other people, I think. :p
Is that Jill from Darken I spy making a cameo there?
Is it just me, or does it look like Ben is trying really hard not to look at Mal?
Now the question is: Has he already glimpsed something he shouldn't have?
....We're going to get to see Mal's, aren't we?!
I think the orange aura is that of a man just beginning to realize he is doomed.
I think that for the very first time, Mal is getting to see the beauty of the living sky...
... and already he doesn't want to lose it.
That, and the pleasure of not having to see people's inner ugliness.
He keeps looking at the sky, though, so he might be coming to terms with it.
Interesting to note that Ben does not even consider maintaining this situation and his acquisition of spirit-vision. Envy wouldn't get that much from him, methinks...
Ah the old age walk a mile in the other man's shoes... Only this time it's one man stuck in a pair of tight shoes as the other one is doing just fine. Just wait till they get to somewhere crowded.
That's my favorite line from that movie!
That's going to be a fun argument...
"Take it back, I don't want it!"
"What the bleedin' 'ell makes you think I want it BACK?"
And I STILL think Jack hasn't lost the ability to hear spirits...although Voss didn't know what he was taking, so it's possible the whole shebang is with Ben now.
Haha, grats! One is just barely visible, but people did seem to spot him, if the comments were anything to go by.
This has to be my favorite part of the whole comic. I just LOVE this kind of stuff!
I like the fact that even if Ben is the one with the sight, Jack's eyes are still blue.
