Me thinks we have a new Merlin. Granted he doesn’t know any magic yet, but he certainly seems like he would grow up to act as Alex’s advisor, as Merlin was for Arthur. At least when he isn’t reading or being Alex’s brother… Nevermind then, he won’t have the time to be Merlin even if he wanted to.
If Dan was reading that book, wouldn’t his head be tilted more in the down position. It currently looks like he was about to fall asleep with his eye half closed.
Just my opinion. Hope it doesn’t upset you.
Speaking of the book, I’ve noticed something the past couple of days. It looks like one side of the book is longer than the other. The cover and pages in Dan’s right hand extend further from the binding (out of frame) then the cover and pages in his right. See panel 3, where the side on Dan’s right extends well past the stripe in his shirt, while the cover on his left barely gets there.
Yeah, I know; I’m picking nits, but it’s driving me nuts.
Yes, you’re right the (audience’s) left side of the book is longer. Didn’t notice until you pointed it out. I went back to see Dan’s expressions since Alex woke up. It looks to me like Dan is half asleep on the train. Notice the eyes are almost closed in all frames except for the last one when Nicole grabs his book.
I think that it is just the fact that his younger (albeit, barely) brother was risking his life throughout the night, do Dan probably stayed awake all night in order to watch over him, but now he is nodding off because he sacrificed the time he normally would have slept.
Sigh…ever since Felicity status as a spy was revealed, it’s like were just jumping at suspicion at the slightest change in anyone. Orion, Arvamas, now Dan…
Dan: “NOOOOOO!!! I was finally about to see Dreamland for the first time! WHYYYYYYYYYYY?!” 😛
Geez Dan, Alex is showing you he has a mature side, caring about others, people you aren’t even sure exist, and your head’s in a book. Cold, man.
“Nicole, I am afraid I’ve been thinking.”
“A dangerous passtime.”
“I know.”

Alex has certainly come some distance from the guy Dan complained didn’t take anything seriously.
Dan: “Where do people in dreamland go when they die?”
Oh, gaston!
Uh oh…what’s up with Dan?
LIKE!
Second that!
I’ve only seen the movie in swedish though, but the referencs is still clear 😀
Possessed by Nicodemus.
That was my guess as well.
I was thinking reading and struck by a thought, so more pensive.
Ooh, love Nicole’s new lipstick color.

A serious brush with danger tends to have that effect on people!
Oh dear. That could take quite a few chapters to resolve, wouldn’t it? He certainly does seem less attentive than usual.
Dan guesses that war may not be over? Pirates, Nicodemous body not found, etc.
They just dumped pirates into ocean and “stole” the ship.
🙂
Dan’s going to Dreamland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Panel 1: This is why, when I am World Overlord, I will use an army of orphans.
