That wolfman in the second panel looks so guilty to me, like he wants to apologize for almost killing her or something, but doesn’t know what to say. I’m not sure what it is, but the others look more angry still, and he looks more subdued to me.
Yes, I think “Something’s happened” is a fair assessment. The question now becomes, where are the beasties rushing off to? The hive mind must still be intact because they all took off at once. Is Gil’s mind still intact and running things, or are they thinking on their own for perhaps the first time in centuries, if not forever?
And as noted, Nicole should still have blood trickling down her neck.
The rather brief boss fight was a bit of a let down. I presume that Gil crumbled to dust due to the effects of his extreme age suddenly taking effect. I was hoping to see Dan use his special power. Perhaps he can at least drive away the rest of the Nightmare beasts. And I was really hoping to see Mom come to the rescue, but she likely would have had trouble with 3 beasts.
There is still the dragon and the children. Nick could redeem himself by releasing them after healing himself, or turn into the next foe by trying to replace Gilgamesh and take over the Nightmare Realm by continuing to drain them.
The NBs went from open mouthed aggression to closed mouth almost fear. Escape and try for some damage control while grovelling in front of the new boss. Best guess: The NBs are necessary to maintain balance, but the ones who won’t willingly fulfill their original purpose will cease to exist. They probably fear Alex most of all.
Bit of an understatement there girl 🙂
Dan and Alex’s mom made pizza rolls!

Lest we forget, she’s very smart too. 🙂
Which means she gets to state the obvious now and again. It’s a perk of the job.
Maybe they’ve been controlled pawns all along?
How many pages till the end ? I’m sorry this is about to end, after all … 🙁
Ooh, did she make extras? Pizza rolls for breakfast, yum! =)
They all retreat….!
At least they were nice enough to wipe the blood off her neck before they left.

Not many. Maybe 30-50?
They’re all going back to hear the explanation of the two swords thing.
and How’re they getting back? portals being in itty bitty peices and all
Maybe Nicodemus is controlling them now.
And from this moment, a hero is born! A fighter for truth, reality and the things everyone else already noticed. Hail Captain Obvious!
The blood is in all 4 panels, you just have to look closely because it blends in with her skin tone in shadow.
I was thinking the same thing.
Sudden loss of purpose!
Uber?
They can’t. They’ll all have to build new lives in the suburbs.

So they’ll fit in really well then 🙂

At least they did not all explode when Gilgamesh died. It would be very messy.
