So that's why giantitp is down.

Apparently so.

Nah, you full agree with me. Cause thats pretty much my feelings too. I just didn't extrapolate my feelings as much.

I half agree with Woas. Haley getting hit with non-core spell was an event. Haley actualy solving the problem will be another event. This strip was basically describing how she was in trouble. We already knew she was in trouble, so re-establishing that is not integral to the plot in any way. So this strip is just a filler strip. Now, it's pretty darn good filler, and I did enjoy it, but it's still filler.

So the Lightning Orb literally knocked her into "Next Week"?

She needs a saviour... Belkar anyone?

Yeah, we don't know what it was he made his spot check to notice in the warehouse, he could show up at any moment with something that could turn the tide of battle.

The comic is following a tried and true philosiphy of good-guy/bad-guy fights. First the good guy gets some blows in. Then the bad get gets her turn. Then, when all seems lost, there is a last minute rally. From a story perspective, I'd say that one lightning orb to the kisser isn't much of a bad guy turn, unless Haley's way wussier then I thought or Tsukiko's way more powerful. I like how the ante's been upped here, truly putting Haley on the edge of downfall.
