Thom should be lucky she didn’t squeeze “something else.” Still, looking forward to when Ruth finally tells Tim the truth.😉👍
Especially since it appears that Ruth has PARTIALLY morphed her hand to Noxian form, probably to use her Noxian claws on Tom’s thigh.
Questions about the Noxian species:
1). Are their physical appearances(skin color, eye color, hair color, tail) passed down from parent to child(Ex. Yellow Noxian + White Noxian = Yellow or White Noxian) or is it completely random?(Ex. Green Noxian + Red Noxian = Blue Noxian)
2). If you had a guess an exact number, how many Noxian’s inhabit the world of Nox?
3). Would you consider Noxian’s to be more extraterrestrial or supernatural creatures?
Bonus: I remember you said hybrid children always physically look like their father’s species, but is there any noticeable difference between hybrids and non-hybrids genetically?
If Mama ain’t happy, ain’ nobody happy
You’re killing me here, mate.
Now she’s scared to tell him? lol More waiting… -_-‘
I mean it’s not the very best case for that kind of news but it would certainly make the rest of this make more sense to him. Also rip it off like a band-aid, it’s easier that way.
Thanks for the new page Brandon.
Give her a moment more.
There’s a very large plate of pasta to be dealt with!
Guess she’s not ready to tell her son what she is yet & luckily for her husband, it’s not his thingy she targeted
I mean “tell her son”
This “little” hard squeez to say : not now, another time…
Sorry post wrongly
A Little sad.. the fact that Ruth Backed Up from revealing herself to her son… Really sad.
Personaly, I fond that illogical considering she already trier to Do so a few jours earlier un the morning.
Agree. It doesn’t make sense, it would be good moment for that.
It will make sense in an upcoming page.
Well. You decide, Brandon, anyway. In that case, that would be Nice if a other Noxian person is hère I suppose.
,
When it happens you will be glad it wasn’t just revealed during a dinner conversation.
One shocking revelation at a time?
It’ll come soon. I have… A PLAN!
Besides, there’s a scene covering this “will she, won’t she” coming up.
Will they/wont they’s are a stupid trope that NOBOBDY likes.
Okay then.
Larry: “I have a plan!”
Balki: “Oh, God!”
—“Perfect Strangers” repeated lines.
Haha, I always remember it being the other way around, but that was from the early fog of my childhood.
Hey Brandon. Apropos of nothing, here, but are you ever planning to write a proper Cast page? That’s something I always look for when starting a new comic; if there isn’t a quick primer on who’s who, I usually give the comic a miss. And yours has been “Under Construction” (i.e., empty) since day one. Might want to think about fleshing it out sometime.
Yeah, I really should. I’ve thought about it, but I really have no idea what to write in any sort of compelling way.
You could start with a re-post of that page of Noxian tail finials?
I don’t even have it anymore. No idea where it disappeared to.
Have you looked UNDER THE BED?
What are the chances that “the monsters” have taken it?
It was, after all, very revealing.
It doesn’t need to be compelling, just a character photo and a quick summary of who each person is and their significance to the comic would suffice.
Example:
Timothy Newton (photo): the main character, an adventurous and sometimes sarcastic boy in high school. Thomas and Ruth’s son. In love with Shadow.
Shadow (photo): a cute and curious monster from the alternate dimension Nox. Tim’s childhood friend-turned-lover. Likes cookies and collecting socks.
You get the idea.
I got a few more summaries for the cast page:
Ruth Newton (photo): Timothy’s mother and Thomas’s wife. While she’s hard on Timothy sometimes, she loves him dearly. Unbeknownst to Tim, his mother is keeping a MONSTROUS secret from him…
Thomas Newton (photo): Timothy’s father and Ruth’s husband. He runs a photography business in the town of Ellis, Ontario. Like father, like son, he and Tim have a lot in common.
Midnight (photo): Shadow’s best friend in all of Nox, she’s one of the few Noxian’s who knows about Shadow’s relationship with a human. Dislikes Timothy, but tolerates him for Shadow.
Enjoy👍👍
Fuck you, ruth. Tim is going to hate for continuing to lie.
Right.
He’s okay for no, UNTIL!
BILLY MAYS HERE!
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!
There is ALWAYS more, of course!
I cant wait!
Lol I miss Billy Mays
We still have Discount Billy Mays, the other Home Improvement guy whose name I can never remember. He sounds like Mays but without the bombastic delivery.
Forget Billy Mays and all the others. Ron Popeil is the man who coined the TV term, “But wait, there’s more…!” as far back as the 1950’s.
Probably gonna wait until one of them is halfway out the door before revealing Ruth’s secret as revenge for Tim storming out earlier.
“Hey we’re going to go to the store.”
“OK, see you later.”
“Oh by the way Ruth’s Noxian like Shasow.”
“Wait! What!?”
“Byyyyeeee!”
No no, I have a pretty epic reveal coming. Way better than just “telling” Tim.
But some things have to move along first. It’s coming though. One could say it’s a climax, even.
Wherein Ruth knocks Nightmare upside the head when Red goes too far trying to get back in with Terminus?
Lady Blackheart (Ruth) would probably be less-than-upset if Nightmare can drag Wormy Termy’s attention AWAY from his proposal of marriage-slavery to Shadow, her protege.
Of course, her two men, Tom & Tim, will first need to neutralise Wormy Termy’s plans for WORLD DOMINATION and SUBJUGATION of HUMANS!
Nightmare would then be welcome to Terminus’s twitching, whimpering remains as he faces the Noxian equivalent of a trial for murder of his High Lord Pax.
But will she really try “to get back in with Terminus”?
No hell hath fury like a woman scorned, etc.
I don’t remember exactly what Nightmare knows about Tim’s hybrid status, she could either try dragging him to Terminus or attack Tim if you think she’s more likely to be out for revenge. Ruin the whole plan by offing the key component. That woman who got abducted might be pregnant with the only other hybrid the story’s alluded to so far, who knows where that’s going.
Why? An even more reliable and thorough way to screw Terminus over is obvious: get someone else to implement his grand idea over his head: open that door (most likely also dangerous for everyone, but she doesn’t seem even as smart as he is).
Mortis locked down right in the way probably is the only reason she didn’t already try. But getting Shadow out of the way may be a part of it.
The reveal kinda already happened though 😀 In ch.4 page 197-198 she showed him her real form and although he didn’t particularly seemed to pay much attention to it, he did saw her and then immediately run away!
The idea was he didn’t even look at her at all, since he was in a hurry. So, she was willing to do it then, but things are different right now and she has flip-flopped.
Ruth will have to reveal herself if she goes to pry Shadow from her sister’s captivity. I’m sure the justification of why Shadow will not be able to marry is because she will already be spoken for, by Ruth to her son – probably to Tim’s surprise. In the end while unexpected, Tim probably will not be opposed if it’s a long engagement.
Oh, it’s all planned out. I can’t say anything of course.
I just dont understand why its all planned all a sudden?
You’ve established already that she was going to tell him a while ago. Suddenly its this big secret she specifically does not want told? Why the change of heart?
The change of heart was all a part of the plan. 🙂
