#349 “Her Only Choice”
It looks like Tim and Midnight have arrived just in time… or have they?!

The Monster Under the Bed
“Embrace your fear.”
Think you guys can follow those guys?
As best as they can.
Uh oh, is Tim about to be heartbroken?
We already know they come together in the end, so that´s a definite “no” to that.
However, HOW we get there remains yet to be seen.
Operation Night Flame continues.
It has a name, now?
Is anyone else getting an assasin creed vibe from tim?
I doubt he’s that good at parkour!
Oooooh the susepense!!!! I sense a misunderstanding sneaking up T-T
So we are going full Korean rom-dram now then? -_-‘
But it was still a decision nonetheless…
Get out of jail, or rot.
Why are her hands positioned like they are bound?
Shadow knows the smell of Tims fear, there is no way she would not sense him.
She’s just being respectful.
These two girls definitely are on the comic side of this opus. Well, did Terminus really have the right to free Shadow like that? I am wondering.
Probably not, but he’s the leader of the Brotherhood now so who’s going to tell him No other than Moonlight?
It is what I supposed. Second point. How did he get the keys of the jail?
Tim also has to hide from the Noxians, thus he probably suppresses it as much as possible. Shadow taught him to control his fear, after all, and those two girls did not notice anything on their own.
Then again, his control my slip from surprises like this.
shadow can smell Tim why she not knocking this guy out running to tim
why dragging the story everybody knows they end up together if see first page Tim shadow
wheres rest story girl got pregnant Tim friend who’s afraid bully blonde girl secret service people
Brandon’s not going to be that kind to Terminus. Shudder.
Because she isn’t stupid?
Punctuation, my friend!
Coherence trumps punctuation.
Just kill Terminus. It’d be three against one if they ambushed him right now, political consequences of him being abruptly murdered in Moonlight’s territory be damned! Of course that would leave his plot thread with an unsatisfying end, so he can’t die yet for the sake of the narrative.
While WE know Terminus is a killer, Shadow, Midnight, and Tim:
a: don’t know Terminus killed High-Father Pax and Lord Mortis,
b: are not killers.
Actually, there’s no definitive proof that Mortis is among the dead… just that he’s been ‘disappeared’ and removed from the leadership of the Brotherhood.
Yeah, I’m thinking (hoping?) that Terminus has Mortis tied-up and hidden away someplace, but logically (and historically) an usurper, having killed the leader and framed the second-in-command with the crime, and surreptitiously restrained said XO, would at the first opportunity kill him and carefully dispose of the body where it wouldn’t be found.
But I don’t think that has happened. Mortis has to reappear and denounce Terminus as the real killer, leading to the inevitable hostage taking and escape attempt, only for one of the heros to take him out. Also, Mortis has to tell Shadow that he’s her father. :p
Lord Mortis was gut-stabbed.
That’s a slow & painful death without advanced medical treatment.
To be generous, I guess he’s lost three days out of maybe five, (Depends how badly the intestines were nicked and how much faecal contamination has leaked.)
I don’t see Nightmare rushing for medical support. She’s probably watching him writhe.
No. High Lord Pax was the one who was gut-stabbed [Strip #206] (arguably by himself when he wrested the knife out of Terminus’ hand… the other option being Terminus deliberately released the knife) and passed away in the next strip [Strip #207]… right before Lord Mortis walked in on Terminus and Nightmare demanding to know, “what in the Inferno is going on in here”.
While I would love to see that, Tim would be dead weight in that fight, Shade and Mid are in robes while Termite is in armor and has that dagger.
Which raises questions about the legalities of Noxians walking around openly armed. I don’t recall Pax or Mortis wearing blades.
Close shave
They’re wide-eyed for multiple reasons.
And now for Midnight and Shadow to swap spots while Terminus babbles unaware of anyone but himself
That would be funny, but… I have other plans. Plans you guys should like! Plans you’ve been ASKING FOR YEARS ABOUT. 🤯
Wait, what? He got that scar from Midnight grabbing him on panel 2?
No. Wrong shoulder, wrong angle of ‘attack’. The grab in Panel 2 would leave marks on top of the shoulder, not lower down on the back.
I know, I was mostly being facetious. Wondering what has been asked about for years that will finally be addressed.
God damn it! >_<
We know what the terms are no doubt. I hate these types of scenarios, even if just threats for drama.. It feels like reading Korean rom-…. anything! ugh
Thanks for the new page Brandon.
Of course Terminus will demand something of her. You don’t make deals with the devil and get off for free
Indeed. Let’s hope she stays strong and comes to her senses. Maybe what Moon found out could help too. I’m conflicted on whether Tim should make himself known right now. It might help prevent a lot of confusion and give Shadow a mental boost.. but if he gets captured now, it would be bad. MN stupidly didn’t suggest they talk to his parents (mom) before going. They are alone for now.
When Wormy Termy rocked up to the debutantes all, he brought a ceremonial armed escort.
How far away are they when he goes to a dungeon interrogation?
I’ll bet they’re hanging about the entrance, listening & watching.
In other words, this is a REAL BAD TIME for Timmy to reveal himself!!
Oh, I can just sense the misunderstandings and total absence of context from a continental mile…
Cómo desearía saber inglés para poder seguir la obra
Brandon, I thought I would let you know that the Delve comic button has been broken and it shall lead to the site https://delvecomic.com because it leads to some not working page. Best wishes.
