Whew! And with this dramatically appropriate moment, we're at page 600 of Widdershins! Hooray! This is where the chapter really begins.
I'll be taking a break next week to buffer up for the upcoming cons I'm at, and to finish off production of the print edition of Vol 6. During that week, a buddy of mine is going to entertain you with some guest strips, look out for those Tuesday and Friday, then I'll be back the week after.
Cast: Benjamin Thackerey, Harriet Barber, Heinrich Wolfe, Henry Barber, Isabelle Holt, Jack O'Malley, Nicola Barber, Sidney Malik, Verity Cunningham

Mal is such a boss in that first panel.
(is Wolfe going to help by playing violin? I bet Wolfe will help by playing violin)
Yeah, no joke: that determined face. "Let's get this done."
Mal's character development is awesome.
As i said somewhere else about another character - Mal is becoming a mensch.
I'd rather say: he's becoming aware that he is one.
I gladly accept the correction
Wolfe is providing the background music for this scene. On electric violin.

Dunno. If electric violin, this feels more like [https://www.youtube.com/wat...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p0BqUcQ7i0 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p0BqUcQ7i0") to me.
Time for some gratuitous violins

When he chucks that scarf over his shoulder, I don't think it's violins that start playing...

It's never a good sign when the map starts fizzing....
Can't it be both? :)
Guess if they touch the other doors, they alert the other witches.
Grandma Izzy just felt it at some distance without a connection. Ben and Sid were startled by it close by. I'm pretty sure the magical universe just went 'ting' in which case the other witches just sensed it. So did the deadlies.
Effectively Mal just rang the starting bell.
Hang in there, gramp'
Love the scarf flip.
Scarfs are the new capes!
The Shadow had a scarf cape before it was cool

Too late.
Oh, yeah - here it is - the "determined heroes bravely march into battle against overwhelming odds" montage.
I suspect so. They were there at the start, they must be there at the end of this story...
Well, when Cat told Nicola [But...don't let anything come back here with you](http://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/april-22nd-2016/ "http://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/april-22nd-2016/"), we knew that something was coming back with them.
Ooooh, look at Mal, being all boss-like, nice :)
The story is awesome and I can't wait to see what happens next, I've got a question though. Will there be a Kickstarter for Curtain Call where you can buy all the seven books? I'd love to have them all and I've missed out on previous Kickstarters.
There most definitely will, though it might be later in the year than my usual effort.
It wouldn't be a proper Widdershins story without some police brutality.
600 pages! Wo Ho! So, Ms Ashwin, what advice would you give your past self when you were first starting? Hopefully not the same as Doc:

I am just glad to see that henry is still alive.
When sheer stubbornness transforms into determination... :)
PLEASE tell me there is 600 more comics coming and that this isn't like a final story arc. I like this comic. Reading it since the beginning.
Kate has already mentioned that the next story continues in the Barber's Widdershins with a new character who has already appeared in the background in previous chapters.
Got a few more ideas yet, don't worry!
I was trying to figure out whose bag that was on the background. Sid had it but I didn't see him give it to Harry. However, as Harry and Mal entered the door, I saw that Harry was wearing it over her right shoulder.
The items imbued by deadlies' ermmm... specificities.
and now the game TRULY begins
Dang this was a good build up.
Right, got the scarf, I guess this'll have to do for the Companion... now where's me ruddy phone booth?
