The Dreadful -- Chapter 4 - Page 17

Due to Brian being at Megacon, page 101 might not get uploaded this week.

But if it doesn't get posted, I'll get him to post three pages next week to make up for it

Hmmmm, I got a question Matt: How maneuverable/capable is Erin in flight? I ask because she has been shown flying a good distance (like when she was first introduced) but then the time she tried to fly away from Liz and company it was almost like she tripped in midair and fell, or was just out of energy or something. And here, one would think she'd have just kept flying away if she had the capability, but instead she opted to hop across a wide ravine and seems resigned to fight like she's cornered. Did Kit injure her flying capabilities with that lightning attack, or does she need to get good speed in order to take off, like a plane or something...

I've probably overcomplicated it and made it more confusing than it needs to be, but it's a combination of things.

The first time when she was flying around she was at "full health" so it wasn't a problem. The second time she tried to fly she had just been hit with magical lightning, and so her body was a little unresponsive (remember, not even Kit could move around much after that instance, and it took Kit awhile before she could even feel her hands again). The most recent time she tried to fly is a combo of a few factors: She's a bit out of energy, thanks to Ith running like she did; she is still slightly weirded from the whole Ith situation; and she took it for granted these things were just zombies she could pop in the head once and be done with.

Now they're pretty much on top of her, and they're pretty fast. If you notice how much ground they covered between panel 1 and panel 3 of page 98.

Hmmm... I got the impression from the text that there was no flight primarily because Ith and Erin were both trying to work the controls at the same time, which is inherently complicated... but even more so given Ith's lack of experience in the body.

I'm honestly surprised that Erin is as mobile as she is. She died and came back as a possessed body (which unfortunately for Ith is possessed by the former host as well, fortunate for Erin however... Or is it?)

Okay so...page 101 seems a little screwy. It's not displaying for me, and word is that it's not displaying for other people too.

It should hopefully be fixed soon.

In the meantime, I've set this thing up: Link.

It's a goofy little thing on Twitter where I type crazy shit. Mostly Western themed, though I put in other stuff occasionally.

Page 101!

It's finally displaying! At least it is for me.

No throat-punching?

Sir, I am disappoint!

I just love the second panel.

Anyone taking bets on whether SpiderBurke is also going to show up?

I'm not. I'm waiting for something more brutal/inventive.

Erin apparently lost her gloves between panels 3 and 4. Not nitpicking; I just noticed it myself.
