You may have come to the same conclusion as our intrepid trio here.

This is the end of Part One of Season One. We'll pick up on Monday with Part Two (but look for a teaser image a few hours ahead of time).

Related Comics:
"light in the darkness"
"shadows in their funeral cloth"

(Hint: we have some information about ONE of these so far... but which one?)

What do you think? :)

-----

As usual, if you like what we're doing here, one way to show your support is to vote for Autumn Bay at Top Web Comics.

"notice my shrug" Hehehe!:D

Yes, magic be real and stuff! I feel like they still aren't prepared enough with that knowledge~ ;)

You are wise, Seabiscuit. There is NO way they are prepared.

Now let's see if that stops them.

(We'll get back to them later. Someone new is on the way next...)

I mean, on the bright side that'll give them a lot to blog about, and at the end of the day, blog topics are what's really important, right? ;)

We will learn that, sometimes, talking about certain topics isn't always the best...

But yes, having roper blog topics IS important. :)

Okay, I think I know, but I don't know if I know what I know because of what I've seen so far or because I know you. You know?

The sad thing is that sentence started out to be serious. By the 12th "know" I just said 'to hell with it'.

They sure figured that out in short order. Though I'm more impressed that they're aren't brushing the guy off as a loon.

Have you ever talked to someone who's spouting the craziest stuff you ever heard, and your every rational thought says "ignore this", but some part of you just "knows" that there is some deep truth buried in there, so you need to pay attention, and then later you figure out what the person actually meant and you realize they just handed you the keys to life, the universe, and everything?

It used to happen to me all the time, working customer service related jobs on the heart of the Midwestern United States. Late at night, you hear some serious Truths.

That's where this came from. (Sorry about the novel here.)

Saw the vote incentive... wonder what the appropriate music is for throwing dudes through plate glass windows?

Knee-jerk reaction says "Bad Reputation". You can't go wrong with Joan Jett.

Her theme song, though, is "Private Investigations" by the Dire Straits.

Joan Jett is always a solid answer. My suggestion would be "Rocky Road to Dublin" Dropkick Murphys' version. "One two three four five!" *crash*

Bah, geography. So I suppose 'Shipping up to Boston' is also out? And what about Little Dublin?

Ah, never mind me then.

You know, I think there is something seriously wrong with my physics. First I sink for no apparent reason and now I'm suddenly cloned.

Haha! I love that line, "Notice my shrug" XD

Congrats on getting through part one. Looking forward to reading more. I also wanted to mention that I really love your "related comics" section in the author comments. I read so many comics that it's nice to be able to look back if you don't remember a detail.

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

Heh. I know that I sometimes get a little subtle about things, and that there's a lot going on, and people have actual lives and such. It's basically my version of "previously on" that you see on a lot of tv shows. Just a little reminder of just what the heck we're talking about here. :)

"Light in the darkness" = Nesariel? Of course, that would be TOO simple for the likes of your writing, Prof... lol

EDIT: Are blue eyes a dominant genetic trait in Autumn Bay, NY?

Professor Etheric
Right phrase, wrong answer. (Well, maybe not WRONG answer - that entity DOES glow, after all.) :)

About the blue eyes... with these three, it was just a matter of how they were designed. Really just a coincidence.

I know it may be obvious after seeing various people use it, but this is just kind of a combination confirmation of the fact / capstone to the part.

Also, I know it was a short-ish part (the next one is longer - one of the benefits of not being beholden to a print schedule is that I don't have to adhere to 20-22 pages per "issue" or what have you.
