If y'all are reading through page 1, wondering whether you should give this comic a try: stop before you spoil yourself on something. It's really great! Read it all and talk about it with us.

Jeanne is waiting for someone, or something. The only option I can think of is the hunky green elf. Which begs the question, what happened to him? Also, wasn't Jeanne on the forest side of the waters when Annie first encountered her?

This sounds pretty plausible, but I'd go one step further and guess that Jeanne isn't 'used' by the Court at all. I think she's out to get revenge on court-siders, which is why she went after Annie and not the fairies - and why Muut comments that she's 'still so angry'. Not sure how Diego and the birds fit into things, though.
We still don't have any proof that she's a murderer, though. All she's done so far is give Annie that odd scar on her spirit-self.

One of the things I like about QC its its story format. Obviously the story arcs are linked, but they're also pretty well-contained and separate in mood and perspective. It's a scheme where I can remember a fun plot like the camping trip and just hop back to it to go through again. So I was wondering, do people have a favorite story so far? (Here is the list.)

Off the top of my head I'd pick the medium training one. Sure it's not very action-y, but I like the interaction of the characters and the little mysteries that pop up.

Hah, I knew there was some reason I had been doubting Jeanne's violent tendencies.

She's saying "when I thought she had cut me" because she doesn't know she's been cut yet. Later in the ether Coyote points out the cut and she was like, wait, what?
But that shows that it doesn't hurt. And the cut never shows up until she's traveling through the ether, so clearly it's related to her powers.

The cut is magical and shows up whenever magic is going on. I think it just has to be ether-related, not necessarily specifically Annie's powers.

I thought everyone knew this already.
I figured people did too. I'm pointing out that Jeanne wasn't trying to kill her, at least not in a literal, cut-poo poo-up sense-- there was something else going on there.

Gunnerkrigg Court is the kind of thing I'd love to see made into a series of movies one day. Maybe it's not the perfect series but it's very entertaining and I for one would go see it opening weekend.
I prefer to picture a TV show. Half an hour seems a decent time for each story.

I'm guessing that Parley's glowing heart has more to do with etheric communication. It appeared when she touched Annie during her projection. A guy in the webcomic thread suggested that maybe Parley is just a lens for powers--Smitty's order-inducing is turned into teleportation that puts her where she "belongs", and Annie's spiritual powers become, uh... this.

A few months from now, some crazy things are going to happen in the court, and Annie is going to sleep fearfully with Coyote's tooth tucked under her pillow. She will awaken to find that it's vanished, replaced with a gigantic diamond and a note reading "OH WOW, THANKS! - TF"

I wondered upon first read if it was "YOU" in the first panel. Might imply that other death gods have bent the rules before. But "waiting" seems more likely now.

Jeanne isn't even fighting with 10% of her true power. Kat will have to design an intense training room that has 100 times normal gravity and compresses 10 years into an hour.

Oh, hey, this hasn't been referenced in like 15 chapters... in one tiny panel before she talks to Jones. Seems like Annie's going to get a "stop being a butt" chapter sort of like Kat had with the injured bird. Her shortcomings have been on display for the past like 10 pages.
Speaking of, I like the detailing of Kat's room with the X-Files poster and bird mask. And a lil' robot dude.

e: okay a few panels. http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=365

vvv Seems like it just means that she's putting on a polite face for people that immediately disappears when she leaves them. She also seems more irritable than usual in general.

And I guess this is why Reynardine hates Anthony so much - he believes Anthony left because he blamed Antimony for Surma's death.
Well, and also that he married the love of Reynardine's life.

I'm unclear on how that second link is foreshadowing, though, I still take it the same way: the fact that Annie is transferring in means that Surma has finally died. I guess it'd make it more likely that Kat would like her, but genetics tend to lend to that anyways.
