M.c.P posted:To be quite honest I would have been more comfortable with angry-bitchy Kat than forcefully apathetic Kat. This just seems so... Off for her. It does, but it also makes a lot of sense for the age she is. I mean, look at her, all teenager-lookin'. I wouldn't be surprised at all if both the girls had gone through pretty drastic personality changes over the summer, and continue to go through more over the next couple years.

FronzelNeekburm posted:Guessing it actually sends Ysengrim off the deep end when they take Shadow 2 back to the forest, Annie refuses to tell him about the sword, and he assumes the Court just came up with a weapon to kill forest creatures. Nah, the court can already do that. Remember Eglamore's sword?

Fangz posted:I don't really think the Court is all that paranoid about Gillitie Woods, at least not recently. They seem pretty confident in their protection from Coyote, and generally direct action by the woods have been rare and pretty overt. Eh, this page seems to support MikeJF's interpretation better. Though I wouldn't be surprised if increasing aptitude/weirdness corresponded with increasing danger in the Gunnerkrigg world.

idonotlikepeas posted:Sky Watcher and the Angel (25) is the best chapter. That's really all there is to say about it. For second favorite, I'd have to choose The Coward Heart. One of the most intense chapters in the comic. I also have a soft spot for A Handful of Dirt, if only because that's where I really started enjoying the art.

Coyote's whole deal reminds me of the themes that Neil Gaiman uses in American Gods and Anansi Boys. I like it, and I hope we learn more about it in time.

MikeJF posted:Blindsight: Eh, intellect wasn't a disease in Blindsight. Just the opposite. Intellect was fine. Consciousness was not. Intellect without consciousness was what the aliens/vampires were. If I remember Blindsight correctly: The things that Coyote describes (seeing symbolism in things etc.) were used in the book as precursors to or symptoms of consciousness, whereas pure intellect would just perceive the world as it is. So even if he's not using the same word, it looks like more or less the same idea to me. I guess that this page might explain why Coyote describes the Court's scientific endeavors as man's attempt to become God. They're trying to see nature for what it is, to strip away the meaning that their minds have invested in it, and in doing so to strip away or control the power of creatures like Coyote who live off of that meaning.

Hah, I completely missed the significance of Jones calling the old guy "master Samuel" on Monday. Not that it's a surprise that she's been around longer than he has at this point, but that was a dead giveaway that she'd known him as a kid.

Ghost Party posted:I really want Kat to get with Paz if only because Paz would appear more often. I really like her character and wish to see more! But I have a feeling it's not going to work out. This for sure. Paz seems really smart and more grounded than the other main characters - see this chapter. I think she'd be a good foil to them. And also this is all way too cute, Kat had better be nice, etc. etc.

Tenebrais posted:Don't forget that up until this point Annie loved and trusted her father. I don't think she'd dream of him acting like that. From a ways back, but it's worthwhile to note that the chapter after that one saw Ysengrin, another person who Annie trusted and loved, turning on her and trying to kill her. She even mentioned at some point that it's been kind of a pattern in her life. So it's understandable that even if she still trusts Anthony, she would have subconscious anxiety about him. And I don't think this is "too long" for a dream sequence. Yeah, with three times per week updates it's a little maddening, but so far it's just three pages. Gunnerkrigg Court has always worked better from an archive reader's point of view.

So I've been pretty checked out from the comic for a while, but decided that I want to finish up my collection of the books since it seems like things are starting to wrap up. What's the deal with Volume 5? Did it just have a really limited run in hardcover and go completely out of print? I guess I'd rather have it in paperback than nothing, but it's weird that it's the only volume that doesn't seem to be available.

So I used to love Gunnerkrigg Court but kinda stopped following it, uh, a year? two? ago. It was around the time that Annie got split in two, I wasn't really feeling where the plot was going and just forgot to keep checking in on it at some point. I was thinking about catching up with it, but skimming the last couple pages of this discussion it seems like things have only gone downhill since then. Is it worth my time to catch up with the comic, or should I keep the good memories of it that I have and make up my own ending?

Against everyone’s advice I’ve been skimming some of the recent pages as they come out, and my main takeaway is how much the art has devolved over time. Look at some of the old pages like that one of the dead robots linked last page and it barely looks like the same comic

This is a good page. Not a complaint, but it's hard for me to tell here whether the perspective is weirdly skewed, or Annie is a giant, or those are tiny replicas of the Monument Valley rock formations on the ground. I will accept any of the above answers without complaint.
