I think he died. Prey 4 his sole. :<
What was that at the top about this being bizarro week? Also, interesting change of facial markings/colorings on horse boy. Have to say, don't remember seeing or hearing of mab ever being even close to that angry before. VERY scary!
The good thing about being royalty (soon to be Mab that is) is that you can legally call impaling someone with a spear an act or war. The bad thing is that the person Mab is impaling won't die from it...
:tmyk
Aww, she looks so cute when she's angry.
Excuse me, waiter?
There seems to be a spear in my chest.
haha.
Shooting the messenger sounds like fun. Or stabbing, in this case.
"You got your spear in my chest!"
"You got your chest in my spear!"
What's with his hands in this one?
Mood fur, perhaps?
Mab looks just a -tad- upset.

His hair changes as well. I would guess that it was the shock of being stabbed from behind, and then the irritation that goes with it.
I wonder if Fae feel pain.
This is officially the most incensed Mab I have every seen. And let me tell you, she looks terrifying. Stabbing a guy in the back, with a spear, is so far the most violent thing Amber has shown us. Bravo, and I want my mommy.
Ahh mab didn't zoom off to the fae kingdom, she when spear shopping!
Also why does this comic seem like the end of a commercial
" getting your revenge with a spear through the chest .. priceless
.. for everything else there's mabstercard. "
Fun fact: stabbed fae go choonk.
Point the first: Why isn't Jyrras using this time to sneak away?
Point the second: Huh. Mab's not using her +2 voulge.
so does Mab go through a color shifting phase as well, or are the my little pony faeries the only one who change colors at nauseam?
Yea, Mab does seem a little upset.... Her little forehead stone even seems a little redder then usual. Wasn't she the one that said she hated violence? The situation must really call for it.
Albanion is like one of those doll... thingies. His hair changes color depending on the surrounding temperature. Mood Pony. He also seems to have lost that fine necklace of his.
/obviouswhisper: I think she's still upset ... we should flee.
I demand blood! And so does Mab!

Nah, she got it from her parents. She just hasn't summoned the tidal wave yet. ;)
Hey, Bizarro amber's coming back. She said so. :<
Speaking of mood pony:
I love those little details. His hand going on the fritz like a TV, his antenna sparkles turning into bulls-eyes, his mane going from a splochy pattern to a stripped pattern. Actually, with the stripes showing, one has to wonder if he is actually base-zebra or something.
What strikes me is more interesting is in the third panel, after he recovers his wit how his entire pallet has shifted noticeably. The violet tail/mane, and the yellow tips to his wings (which are also darker) and the yellow antenna sparkles. Also notable is that his cheek marking is not only a darker purple, but a kinda gothy double down spike from his eye instead of a squarish block on his cheek.
One has to wonder if this is the look of the Albanion of legend that caused the destruction of the Mythos race.
Sorry for the entirely useless over analysis, I just love details like that. :)
BTW: Mab seems a tad peeved. Maybe even worse than "blew my glade up" peeved. I think I'll chip into the "reach minimum safe distance" camp.
I think the zebra stripes on Albanion's fingers are his color-changing effects going nuts because having a spear thrust through one's chest tends to be a tad painful.
Also, I would suspect Mab isn't using the Voulge because she totally doesn't have the class skill to use that (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_719.php). :P
But yes, it appears someone's angry.
Seems to me that since a Fae can't die unless they feel like it, playing real life games of Doom or Halo or something are a good clean way of having fun while enjoying being outside! At least you'd be able to get exercise while shooting each other and running around blowing stuff up.
:mowninja
Can you tell I got BF2 recently? :p
And yes, Mab seems to be at the point where those that cannot decide not to die when injured should likley flee. :)
Anyone got a remote? Pony-boy needs adjusting again. Maybe hit him a couple times over the head too for safe-measures. :U
Let's not forget that angry Fae tend to equal large chunks of land exploding... and Mab seems downright maaaad.
Reminds me of a Queen song this arc does.
*hums 'Fairy Feller's Master Stroke'*
-nar
That's going to leave a nasty mark.
EDIT: Nice aim, though. I don't think that managed to pierce the major airways. :B
Hmm....so I gess fae DON'T bleed.
So much for my "bathing in fae blood" idea, drat.
I like the way Albanion's color is always shifting, it reminds me of a cuddle-fish. :)

One, shock. Two, she totally doesn't have the class skill to use that.
This comic was clearly meant to be a trap to get me to wake someone up to discover that I've snuck on the computer with wild laughter. Joke's on you, though. If I can drop several CDs without disturbing anyone, I can laugh without doing so.
Not a happy Mabby here, when she stabs Abbie in the back. Looks as if she is in the same mood as Pip goes when he goes " Grr ... " . It seems too late for Jy-Jy and Lorenda to sneak away, so is this the time when Mab makes an adventure ? :mowninja
Odd that she'd buzz off to wherever just to pick up a spear for ineffectual stabbing. Bless.
Maybe the Spear's to drag away the Fae-on-a-stick?

Maybe this is where Mab can strike at the heart of the situation. She wanted to go on adventure. She is called to do her duty in the Fae kingdom. She has a long term chip on her shoulder with a few fae, and has to get back. She can partly solve these problems by getting hold of a few of her friends at Lost Lake, and have them follow her through the fae gate in Dan's room. It has possibilities as a plot,and I just want to see how much damage and carnage, Mab, Wildy, and the others could do in an assasination type of auction ... :mowninja

( remember what happened when the being doing a documentary tugged on Mab's antennae in one of the previous sections ... )
No one seems to have noticed that Albanion's hands have been switching colors the entire time.
I think people have. :<
I will say this. Of all the charactors in DMFA Mab is the most dangerous when angry.
Allow me to explain.
1-in the blink of an eye she can completely destroy a specific area of land.
2-when she's angry she can go from calm to psycotic is 0.2 seconds flat.
3-when she attacks she gives no warning (what some would call a "tell").
4-when Mab attacks she goes for the decisive attack on the first move (well it would have been decissive for anyone other than a fae).
I am now starting to think that Pip is there as a first line of defense. Poor Albanion, what's worse Pip's teeth or Mab's aresonal (she has to have an aresonal considering she's gone on numerous adventures with Dan).
Oh and Albanion's hair has been changing colors ever since he's made an apearance. The decoration under his eye changed it's shape in the last pannel so I really think the spear hurt.
Mab did Pip growleys. :mowtongue
Can I be the first to say that Albanion's color-changing ability is ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN' AWESOME? It beats mood-changing eyes by a longshot. Honestly, he looks great in that last panel for someone who is in severe pain and/or shock (judging by his expression, he looks to be a rather deadly combination of irritation and agony). I especially like how his colors went all wonky after he got stabbed. Akin to the static on someone's TV screen.

She must have just learn that Nutmeg want one of the souls of her parents, and Alban forget to tell her. I am with Mab on this one, He should be speared.

I would assume so. I mean, look at his face when the spear goes "CHOONK." I would say that is representing pain.
As to Fae bleeding, I think fae are only physical when they want to be. Sort of like beings from a higher dimension, their bodies in this world are only as real as they want them to be.
Goes back to the whole "Fae choose when it is their time to die" conversation I suppose. Looks like Fae are pretty immortal until they are damn good and ready to die.

Hum, interesting! Her jewel turned red then, as well. I wonder if it has any other colours, depending on mood?
*wonders if she should just tell them that in the most recent comic she forgot to add the shiny highlight to Mab's gem...thus making it look like its darker than normal...*
Nah, wouldn't matter at this point anywho, kind of moot now.
Also, people would read way too much into it. In fact, it would come to represent an entire subplot that would spawn such hackneyed fanfics that you'd be forced to curl up in a corner, shiver for a while and, I imagine, eventually have a blanket gently laid over you by a kind-hearted otter.
See, otters make everything better.

I'll remind myself never get on her badside...Part Deux
The last frame gives me chest pains. :erk
I would say that fae feel pain. Wildy's beating of Azlan seems to indicate that, though he also suffered no adverse effects.
Perhaps Albanion has damage reduction...
I wonder if Mr Fay-On-A-Stick is going to appear in the cast page sometime, or if he is a plot convenient?
He's in the Demo101 "Fae" section.
That boy has a nasty habit of changing his colourings every other comic, and apparantly sometimes even once per panel...
A spear, obviously. Since a hatchet you would most likely have to dig some form of hole, while a spear you can simply shove directly down into the ground with enough force.
And I think if you have the strength to shove something through a person's torso, you have the strength to plough something through the ground.
oh yes
Yeah. Albanion's tye-dye!
While I agree that it's easier to drive a spear into the ground than dig a hole for a hatched, I'd have to disagree on the strength required. The ground around here can be exceptionally tough(to the degree that a lot of the city I live in is undeveloped, because even expensive earth-moving equipment isn't sufficient to break ground), and I recall a story about some guy being stabbed by the butt of another guy's spear, which went right through him. While the human body is surprisingly more durable than it at first seems, it's still quite fragile.
By comparison, there's a reason "solid ground" is referred to as "solid."

I agree with the strength required to dig through the ground's vast toughness, but I think that it still takes strength to drive a spear clear through a person's torso (especially with the butt of the spear :erk). Obviously, you should know that meat is tough material when raw...
Well I would asume not all bones can be broken that easily. When it comes to be a fae as old as Alban, It would be most more tricker than most wouldnt you think so by now kiddies?
I bet he's not actually a horse, but really a lava lamp. :D That's why his colors change.

Well, Fae are practically creatures of pure magic, right? So it would obviously take something that could disrupt that magic completely to kill one. Then there's that whole limited number thing, too. Maybe if that number changes the universe starts hiccuping because a constant changed.
And anyone who's coded knows that constants can't change. Bad things happen.

Hm, if they are pure magic, which they seem to be, then the only way to kill one would be to use the magic(i.e. drain it away), However, being as a Fae seems to be composed of *QUITE* alot of energy, you would have quite a problem of storing or getting rid of said energy - Perhaps you could get a few hundred 'Cubi to tri-wing status with the energy.

Ah, a set number of Fae souls is possibly there to insure that each Fae has just the right amount of magic energy to be Fae, but also not too much magic that they would become unbalanced/insane and/or explode, which would cause a change reaction as the magic energy exploding outwards would be adsorbed by all nearby Fae. They would become unstable or produce offspring, whichever they can manage to do to keep from exploding themselves.
As for rebooting a Universe, it will rewrite the laws of physic and this time maybe magic will harder to find. and and I will see you at the Big Bang restaurant at the end line.

It has to come out of a boot to be a shank. If she made it in prison, it would be a shiv, not a shank.
Well her boots are too small for it to be a shank, and exile is not technically prison, so I'm gonna go out here and say its a spear.
