If you live in a capital-c City how often do you see the borders? You could live your whole life in NYC, London, LA, Paris, Chicago, etc etc without leaving, and certainly if you followed the lives of kids growing up in one the world outside of it just wouldn't ever rate mention if they didn't have family to visit outside.

Brannock posted:Anthony Carver, the comic's ultimate villain. The static in the speech bubble, the chapter title and the shock and desperate attempt to track him down on the part of all the adults nearby gives off a super villain vibe. Dr. Wily-ish (so he is responsible for boxbot!)

The Walker posted:The fact that Anthony and Surma have a kid together just seems stranger and stranger, particularly when you take into account that the two of them seem to lose contact with the rest of the group during Antimony's childhood. That's going to be an interesting chapter to read, though not necessarily a fun one. I don't recall that we've read anything about them getting together during school and plenty of total prats as children grow out of it as adults. Though with Anthony Carver it looks like he may have just grown into an entire different type of prat.

Bongo Bill posted:Somehow I get the feeling he's not just running a clinic somewhere; this is giving off some seriously sinister vibes. There aren't many other ethical things a person can do with that many sterile disposable blades. I've had the idle thought 'maybe he's Dr. Wily' since the static background on his speech bubble and it just keeps getting hammered in. Why are you helping a mad scientist Donny  (I jest, but not that much)

Paramemetic posted:I'm throwing my lot in with the idea that Jones is a sort of emanation of the very Universe itself. Not really human, but in a human form. She's standing outside of time and has known the entire history of the Universe in her primordial state from its beginning to its end all along. She's in a human form because she knew what humans would look like before they existed (that is, if we're even supposed to understand her as physically in that form in this history). Her purpose as such a being is to observe on behalf of the Universe to make sure everything is following the Rules, which is why she's lurking around the Court - they are up to something unnatural, attempting to achieve Godhood on their own and she is there to make sure they don't disrupt the fabric of space-time in the process.

Boogaleeboo posted:I mean clearly he's not the greatest father in the world due to his crippling lack of competence at dealing with emotion, but I don't get what makes people think he's going to be a total monster. He's just kind of poo poo being a person. It's not a war crime or anything. I'm pretty cool with considering a father whose response to his wife dying is to abandon his young daughter a monster, tbh. Maybe just replace 'kind of' with 'extremely god drat' before poo poo person.

The worst part is that since one of the few traits that have been expressed about Anthony other than his concentrated awfulness in every way is that he studies martial arts, so very few of the cast could reasonably succeed at punching him in the face.

Itzena posted:No, I don't think this is being resolved in this chapter. We're going to get at least one chapter sans Annie, probably more. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if this is the central conflict whose resolution takes the entire rest of the comic to achieve and everything up to now was setting the scene.

Since the worst thing that could possibly happen is Anthony being in the other room and coming in right now to stomp on Kat's attempt to get through to Annie that's pretty much what I expect to happen.

Brightman posted:Reality: It's none of those and Tony is just a weirdo jerk. Not only is spending your evenings doing nothing but sitting quietly incredibly weird, he's theoretically a teacher but does no actual work in the evenings (otherwise some of the papers would have to be his). Keeping your daughter in a giant blank laboratory is one thing but not having any paperwork to do as a teacher needs an explanation, tony
