Suspicion…

For those of you who use Comixology, they let me know that The Young Protectors: Volume One has been included in Comixology’s “Indie Super-Hero Sale” that runs until Monday, October 1st. Looks like they are offering a 33% discount, which is pretty darn good. If you haven’t picked up your copy yet (or want to give Comixology a try), you can grab a copy of The Young Protectors: Volume One here.

So! Spooky isn’t liking the answers Anaado is giving. In fact, I think he just called his old bestie a liar! Is Spooky justified in his doubts? What can Anaado say to to allay those fears? And why is Spooky’s doubting face in Panel 2 just so gosh darn adorable?

Tune in this Saturday to find out! Hope to see you there! 😀

I don’t believe him either!

And the reason he looks so adorable is because he has that sort of Tom Sawyer squint going on. 😀

That squint is very cute. 🙂

Finally!

Asking for trust after what he has done is asking too much!

And now, more fireworks.
I mean, seriously. We’ve already seen one temper tantrum from Anaado. I hope Spooky has a plan on how to handle him despite being currently de-aged and de-powered.

Well, if Anaado has been truthful than his power has been fading so any future temper tantrums won’t be so impressive.

Anaado doesn’t have any pants because they BURNED AWAY IN A SWATH OF HELLFIRE!

Ha!

“I have a great condo on some swamp land in Florida, cheap too! It’s a great investment!”

Anaado is a liar..

O.o

That’s our Spooky! *thumbs up*

Now about returning Kyle.

ANAANDO: And when you get back into the world, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you…”

Only ‘issue’ I have with this, is Spooky saying this before trying to get himself aged again. He should have gone along with it a little longer and mentioned the need to be old again, before he could perform this/any big spell that could take them back to earth – also since Anaado apparently don’t have that magic boost, according to himself here.

To see whether Anaado could do that, and give him some powers back, and/or to see how eager Anaado would be to get the spell without helping Spooky return to his powerful state.

I’m sure there would have been some other flimsy Anaadscuse why he couldn’t age Spookster back at this point. “Well, you see, that was back at the location where there were some remnant magic-trinos in the ethersphere, but now they’ve all dissipated. Oops! Should have asked earlier.”

Ha!

Maybe Spooky’s already figured out how to reverse it on his own and is using it as a way to seem helpless and keep Anaado feeling he has the upper hand? We’ve already seen he has more up his sleeve than Anaado thought.

You know what? Despite what I’ve said in previous comments… Anaado, you are NOT at Duncans level of deception XP

I agree with Danish as well. Going slow and building trust back would have gone a long way, I think. Was Spooky too blunt, too quickly?

He got into Kyle because he was relaxed and an easy target. To possess someone without work he needs them to be willing and Spooky isn’t quite so willing anymore.

That is the MOST suggestive sentence I have EVER read! 🙂

Surprisingly unintentional! O.O *pats self on back*

I love how honest Spooky is… I strive to be the same, and it’s really encouraging seeing it in action here.

It really shows now how much of a grown-up he had to become in order to survive his ordeals. Even when it’s coming down to saving the two loves of his life, he remains rational and won’t let emotion take over.

Yes. This is probably the hardest challenge he could face for not losing himself in emotion, but he’s still Spooky Jones. Our Spooky Jones. 🙂

Yeeah. At this moment I have two questions (for Anaado). 1) Who are you, and 2) If you’re still the real Anaado, who do you work for? This sounds like a way to get someones (??) hands on magic secret intel.

SOMEONE wants to know how to do this particularly spell, but who?
I’m happy that Spooky came to some sense, after his very fast agreement to just give up his body for Anaado. He might have given it up willingly for Anaado alone, but Anaado’s chipper behavior just comes off with *all* the wrong wibes.

One important detail that *someone* forgot that as much as Anaado used to know Spooky, the opposite was also true, and Spooky ain’t buying this chipper behavior

My suspect list starts with:
– Laampros.
– Platinum Priestess (‘smells’ like her temper tantrums/drama flairs, so maybe my suspect #1 instead)
– That demon overlord/hell king that had Anaado trapped (just woke up, can’t remember name).
– Anaado himself, meaning without pressure from someone else, but prison turned him.
– One of the above/someone else that Anaado/Spooky used to know in hell, is ‘borrowing’ Anaado’s body.

I’m loving the speculation on this page (and last few as well.) 🙂

I see why everyone is cheering Spooky on, but I have one concern. Now he’s letting a demon know what he thinks. It’s never a good idea to let a demon know what you think.

Honesty is the best policy.

It is indeed risky. But Spooky rarely plays his cards close to his vest…

omg I’m glad x’D
I mean it does sound completely fishy, like a scam seller trying his hardest to convince you everything will be fine…
I’m so sorry if Anaado is actually genuine and honest but safety first >//////<

C’mon! Look at that cute, sweet face. He’s totally trustworthy. Really. Kinda.

Be careful, Spooky!

Thanks goodness! Spooky wasn’t hit over the head with the stupid stick…:) Now he should run!

When it’s just his own life at stake, Spooky is so much the running type… 🙂

Score!

Hallelujah! The jig is up!

Ya know I started thinking, what if this really ISN’T Anaado? What if its some other demon that took his form to trick Spooky?

That or Anaado has some darker plans…

I mean… Who would trust him. He is an even worst liar than I am and believe it or not but it means a REALLY bad liar. And if he’s not lying I mean what the heck Anaando how did you manage to fail so much like that. Are you training to be extremely bad at everything you’re doing or something ? “Haha I took us to hell but how we’re going to go out of here is going to be a surprise for the two of us lmao”

Oh thank goodness.

*SCREECHES* I KNEW IT. MY BOY, FOLKS o(*≧□≦)o
oh god what’s gonna happen noooowwww TTwTT

smart spooks

He has a right to be suspicious. Anaado is up to something.

Finally! A little doubt has crept in. Whew!

::Throws hands up::: Hallelujah! Granted, this is probably going to go sideways fast, but thank goodness Spooky’s starting to see the light, so to speak.
