I was just thinking we had not seen Alex in the boss fight yet and it was time for him to reach Dan, who has not chosen to wake up yet. Dan is either counting on his lady (or his Mom) to rescue him or he has lost conciousness and is unable to make that choice. Niviene’s spell ensure that he will not wake up until he wills himself to do so, a possible flaw in the plan in this case. We will see if Gilgamesh is vulnerable to the attack or just bats Alex away. Alex is following the Hero Rules by loudly announcing his intention to attack, thereby giving the villain a chance to react. As Gru’s lady would say, zap first then announce it.
Alex, you are no paladin. Run the dude through then answer his question. Now he knows you are there, can deflect your blow, and put a serious hurt on your very physical body which just happens to be right there in dreamland.
Go Go Alex!
Give us a home run slam!

I just noticed that Dan opened his eyes in panel 3, so perhaps Nicole has already come to the rescue.
Alex at the last minute…
I think his eyes were open before. More like they’re bulging.
How distracted can an omnipresent being get?
Is this like OOtS, where you yell “Sneak Attack!” when sneak attacking?

Yaaaaay! Go Alex go!
YEAAAH ALEX! *fist pump*
O-kay. And there I hoped for Alex to do something clever. Dumb from the beginning to the end… yeah 🙁
At least he has Excalibur. That counts for something, right?
This is going to hurt.
But they’re not open in the real world, where it counts.
Go, Alex, go! <3
If ya gonna attack from behind – then keep quiet and do the thing. Alex, Have you learned NOTHING?
Gil swats left … Alex suddenly and abruptly changes direction. ouch.
maybe if he used Excalibur as a spear instead of swinging it in the wrong direction
Alex, Alex, Alex. That is NOT how one performs a proper back stab maneuver.
Gil is not impressed.
Young people nowadays and all that.
Great timing Alex, but maybe could have swung BEFORE saying something timely.
