All the myriad ways eh, Alex? This was a title in a story some decades ago. You and your artists have made it manifest in horror. Spooks has his hands full! As do his fellow heroes and the kids! Next step? Uh. Run in circles scream and shout?

Ay! That was close, Cory! I guess Mitch is having no troubles with his Mach 2 speed but I really hope that neither Spooky nor Cory get caught by any of these gates >____>’
And I wonder how much time passed since they called for backup? Are they already close by or will it take forever until they arrive? Will anyone even be able to help? AND WHAT DID PP CAST?!?!?!?

From the frying pan to the fire, William.

Only minutes have passed. Help is still a long way away.

You will find that out on the very next page…

PP’s spell is gonna be something like “now you’ve activated my Trap Card!!” except we have to wait nearly a week to discover its effects.
nuuuu cory it’s not, uh, totally your fault…
Going back and looking over all the gates is a fun game. I like the one in panel 1 here a lot ^w^

I can’t explain this but PANEL #1 reminds me of SAILOR MOON … (SMH)

How could things possibly be made worse?

Well, it could be raining.

Yes, it could be raining…

Ha!

Wait for it…

LMBO!

Delete me.

Did you see that portal slice through a mausoleum?

call me impressed

That dinosaur on the other side will be confused seeing a slice of mausoleum crashing down next to it.

I have some coprolite in my rock collection. It’s not one of those really hard rocks. It’s softish for a rock, brownish and if you squeeze hard enough, it might crumble.
We all know what coprolite is – – fossilized dinosaur poo, and I think that answers your question.

Hah! I had no clue what that was but it sounds like a political statement!

I have a rock and mineral collection.
My answer to NoiseShaper was that the dinosaur took a dump at the sight of the mausoleum and that dump lasted long enough to become a stone.

Ha!

Yes.

Glad you like that, Dave. 🙂

So we have Jurassic Park meets Pirates of the Carribean. I hope there’s a portal to Ghost Busters too. Our friends could use a little help.

Which Ghost Buster do you think would be the most helpful?

A portal that brings in people with phasers or related tools would be nice. Couldn’t call them that thought. Lol, “beam my butt aboard, very funny Scotty, now the rest of me”!

Hopefully if Spooky gets his hands on the artifact he can get it back under control…

That seems like a very good priority.

I wonder if Spooky can put a containment bubble around the artifact, if that would shut it down at all? Either stop it from getting more blood from the crazies or stop it from projecting the portals. Assuming that’s how it works at all, which it might not.

Isn’t it broken? If it is a very powerful artifact, how exactly do you fix that. I know Spook’s got the “moves like Jagger” but still. This was a demon suggested item.

Time to play “Dodge the Portals to Different Times, Places, and/or Universes!”

A high-stakes games indeed.

Thank you b3nc0!

I wonder if that slice of mausoleum landed and, over time, eroded to be roundish in shape.

OMG! The REAL invention of the wheel! TEMPORAL PARADOX!

Why am I thinking of the first episode of “Sliders?”

It’s been a long time since I saw that. Were there an abundance of portals in the premiere? I just remember the one portal that Quinn went through in his basement.

I think when the bunch of them get sucked through there are a couple of portals, but the abundance of them in this YP scene has “Uh, oh” written all over it! And the potential of zipping from ones real world to another did remind me of that!

Indeed. One they had to repeatedly find and chase down that opened in random dimensions and times I think.

I remember Sliders, but I wasn’t a fan. I liked the premise, but I just found the characters unpleasant. After a few episodes, I was all “let them stay lost” and I stopped watching.

It’s interesting that Cory asks, “Did I do this?” Strictly speaking the answer is yes, but…

I went back and checked pages 53 and 54 where the Sphere got damaged, and there was a lot of debris flying around. I’m not sure that Cory would necessarily be able to see directly the blood spilling on the Sphere, although he might be able to see the glow/energy discharge that’s it’s giving off now.

Given how fast events are happening, should we take it as a point of characterisation for Cory that when something goes improbably wrong immediately after he uses his powers that his first reaction is to guiltily wonder what bad thing he caused this time?

The answer to your question is yes.

Poor guy. You almost shred a city with one little telekinetic whirlwind, and you get guilt fits for the rest of your life.

Strictly speaking, not responsible. Total and complete emotional meltdown. In normal folks it would have been broken furniture and maybe punched people. There would be police and a hospital most likely. He just happens to be potentially very dangerous and at the time uncontrolled.

Good question and I would say, uh, no. Unless you treat him like an explosion and he is responsible for collateral damage. It was in the heat of the moment in a battle so, I would stick with a solid “no”.

Hello Campers,
What greater chaos is going to raise the trouble level tonight?

Page 63 is now up in glorious color, and I do mean glorious color.
The line-work was spectacular and the colors just emphasize it.

The New Page is Up:

Doesn’t seem to be quite up yet. Page ‘page-63-1’ still looks like a patrons-only page to me, and the next page ‘page-63’ has a broken link to its image. I can, however, see the art at amwcomics.com, and it’s quite wonderful.

There is a technical issue.

Looks like they’re working on it. ‘page-63’ briefly had the gray-blur image, and then no image at all. I’m sure it’ll all be fine and proper soon.

Goodness. There was a ‘page-63-2’ there for a bit. I can only imagine what mildly-rude words that certain software must be hearing.
