Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

This right here is good storytelling. All the comments have gone from calling for Tony's head to just confusion.

If this wasn't well studied already, psychologists could definately use this to track how popular opinion of someone changes they more they get him into their monkeysphere

Yeah, seeing the reactions in the comments is a really interesting thing. Since people just get so invested in it, they just give their unqualified reactions to what's going on.

I'm so flabbergasted at all of this straightforward storytelling.

Who is this webcomic authored by, and what did they do to Tom?

Idk, I think part of the draw to balanced storytelling is a time to be mysterious, and a time to just throw the cards on the table. Especially for what's ultimately a popular, mass audience now, crowdfunded. I think this is Tom laying things out for people in a way that brings closure and is easy to understand. Not necessarily ideal, but it's not bad either. I'm certainly enjoying the wild ride here, and Anthony has a pretty interesting narrative voice.

Anthony is extremely direct and rational, of course he's going to lay out all the evidence, present his opinion on it, and let his friend judge the facts for himself.

Up to now the viewpoint character has mainly been an emotionally... complicated teenage girl (more complicated than usual) with all kinds of romanticism who just doesn't care about a lot of the meta level stuff going on in gunnerkrigg unless it relates to her own personal affairs.

Tony is a lot more mature in many ways and knows a lot more and the story reflects what a self aware adult would do and say, even if he's if anything as flawed or more than Antimony.

I like that the outline of Annie in the secondpanel is Surmia's (is that how you spell her name?). Really reinforces what Tony's saying.

Surma. Her name is Surma.

On a more recent note, I just want everyone to take a moment to appreciate how Coyote's character has been summarized in one image now.

Things are happening!

I really like this chapter so far, the art is cool and it has an archetypal feeling to it for sure.

Things are definitely happening. I wonder if this is winding up for an end game of some sort?
Haven't heard much of Jeanne in a long while, though.
I am impressed Coyote fit four mouths on one body like that.

I was thinking endgame myself, actually. Especially if Annie's horcrux gets discovered.

My new pet theory is that if conventional human Annie gets knocked up, she won't die after giving birth... since she appears to have separated herself from the Fire Elemental within...?

Ysengrim siding with Annie's dad on these issues is hilarious. It's like he's turning on the Dad without even knowing it.
