I lol'd.
Kria is very much a matured lady. :U
Edit: Is he teleporting? Nice. Probably something demons can do that an (inadept?) cubi's without Warp-Aci Cannot.
I don't really know what to say about this one. So is this Aliph's house, or Kria's? Im a bit confused now.
Also,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
EDIT: Damn, beaten. Merge I guess?
I think he is using Magic to teleport, demons can use it, Warp-Aci are just more convenient
the best responds always come a few hours later
There is a certain level of maturity that comes with Dealing with Demons... Kira has just proven that she is a child at heart.
One would say with (flirty) Kira and (guardian) Lorenda the one in the most danger is Dan (how will he escape that estate with his pants in one peace on I do not know, Kira already claimed his shirt).
Kira made this comic extra funny.
We always knew Kria was simple and straightforward, she's not in the mood to change that right now.
Is it just me or is there something wrong with the layers to the middle panel, as if the background was put in front of the characters?
Hatsuyuki is probably right about the teleporting, I just wasn't thinking fade-out teleport.

Nope DP is teleporting making his escape via magic hence the faded out look

They're fading out, as if for a teleportation effect. That's why they're semi-transparent. Its not that the background is in front of them, its that they are not wholly there - you can see his wings on the wall, for example, and the wall THROUGH them.
And Kria's "comeback" was pretty poor (in terms of being effective) though, to be fair, it was probably undeserved on Dark Pegasus' part - Aliph was trying to warn her.
But, yes. Kria is Kria.
I think the real question is what is going to happen next time, when she deals with Dan. I strongly suspect, however, now that Dan is Lorenda's "boyfriend", her behavior towards him will be much improved, less flirty and more "incredibly obtrusive into his personal life".
The other question is whether she knows healing magic. I suspect she does; we know she is at least moderately competent at magic (enough to be allowed to teach it, as well as to resurrect Dark Pegasus); I suspect she'll be able to patch him up.
8) So, this seems that this time Dan does not get the bounty on DP's bones. So much for that cremation ceremony too ... And, does he have to worry about someone jumping his bones ?
( Hey, does this mean that Regina can have fun now with her step-uncle, instead of being tied down with the limitations of the soulstealer household. )
Yay now we can go back to Dan's emotional/mental breakdown... or whatever is going to happen to him now he wasnt able to kill DP
Kria is now my favorite. :>
Go sibling rivalry! And go Kria!
Okay, and Regina has left the building. Darnit. This just delays her and Dan's next battle, by which time DP will have taught her a few things. And knocked some sense into her head. Also, Aliph seems a little... prejudiced perhaps towards Dan. Justifiably, given Dan's career choice, but I highly doubt that Dan would kill Kria, let alone Lorenda. Then again, DP doesn't know that they're actually friends. This is getting interesting.
Amber's ability to derive humour from such a serious situation astounds me. :goamber
I wonder where DP is going to teleport to. "Our own homes" implies he (used to?) lives with Kria, so unless he has a few spare castles around, I'm not too certain where he could be headed.

Outside of this comic... I had only ever heard the term "butt-face" once before... Kria has quite the odd choice of names, indeed...
sibling rivalry brings out the best in people...but certainly not in their witty comebacks, it seems :o
i wonder of kria has her house set up so specific types of magic are easily used, but others aren't? it might help prevent magic-using adventurers from causing unwanted trouble.
but then again, kria does revel in mayhem. soooo...

Most Creatures can teleport unaided. Aniz did so in Abel's Story and he didn't require a warp-aci. As I understand it, they are mostly a fashion accessory.
As for Kria, it looks very much to me like she is a 'retired demon' in the same way Dan is a retired adventurer.

Anyway, now that Aliph and Regina are gone, I suppose we'll see if Kria really was fooled by Lorenda's ploy, or had been using it as a convenient excuse to save the hot cubi beefsteak from being pummeled into low grade hamburger by her brother...
Heh...the panel made me laught too.

I personally believe Kria just wanted an excuse. I suppose we'll see it sooner or later, but Kria doesn't seem "stupid" enough not to notice. Her character is more like random, not stupid.
btw. Did those red markings on DP face change? I looked around a bit and to me it seems they have been different each time he's been around. Often just slightly, which could be Amber just doing it a bit different each time, but there are several times where difference is more noticeable. Possibility it changes each time he is resurrected, which would be somewhat nice detail?
Yay! Finally a new story-arc!

And one where a creature murdering twelve beings only results in a fine. The only repercussions for dissident behavior would be the responses of those slighted. Demons run their society on power, so I get the impression they don't feel obligated to adhere to anyone that they can't be intimidated by, or any sort of legal code.
The way I envision the whole 'who's house it is' thing, (and I could very well be wrong on this of course), there isn't really any legal deed to the property, just whomever is inhabiting the place at the time. Of course, I would imagine total strangers don't come in out of fear of being killed, but, by this view, anyone could say, come in, throw Kria out, and face no legal repercussions. Now of course, the response to that behavior would likely be Kria, and her relatives and friends, coming in and getting rid of whomever threw her out. But, if the invading person(s) are powerful enough to throw Kria out successfully, I would think that such an arrangement would stay.
Now I don't think DP would be willing to throw Kria out of her own house, and probably not able. But, I suppose if he could, and proved to be stronger, then there aren't any authorities that are going to intervene on the matter.
Naturally, this is how I perceive the system to work anyways...
Heh, Kria's gone old school on DP (I like Dark Buttface as his new name :) ). I find Regina's expression very interesting here, as she looks at Kria as they fade out -- she looks very worried, concerned -- seemingly not just for herself (note that she's even helping DP there, holding him up).
Kria is someone she has great respect for -- is Regina taking DP's statements at face value? Very likely, considering Dan almost turned her into finely sliced deli meat. Perhaps she's also realizing that she may have greatly offended Kria by attacking Kria's guest in her own home? Or perhaps she's thinking that she may have brought the wrath of Dan down upon her family, at least upon her Aunt and Uncle (she wouldn't care about Lorenda of course)? Perhaps the realization that she has managed to hurt and endanger people she actually admires and cares about will take her a tiny step towards maturity (but of course, this *is* Regina we're talking about).

Well, Regina was sent there to act as Kria's maid for a reason. Whatever it was, she seems to have botched it very badly. All the worse if the 'incident' she was sent there to lay low from is the one that inspired Dan's righteous outburst.

Well... There goes the action sequence. So, will we stick with Kria, Lorenda, and Dan? Or will we follow Aliph and Regina for a moment? Oooh, or do we switch back to Abel, Jyrras, and Alexsi? Maybe we'll have a non-sequitor scene change and see what Azlan is up to.
Never realized how hoof-y Aliph's legs are. And Aliph provides a nice little piece of beefcake, don't he?

True, with Regina, this may be much more likely -- that and she just remembered that she didn't get to eat her ice cream either.

And one where a creature murdering twelve beings only results in a fine.
Which is a result because the trial is controlled by the same type of critter as the offender (Being or Creature). Obviously, there is some sort of legal system that holds power over the citizens, otherwise they wouldn't bother with it even if the judge/jury is always biased in favor of the offender because of his/her/its species.
So a creature can get away with murder of beings. And beings (adventurers) can get away with murder (slaying) of creatures. Their peers protect them in court. So what does that mean for an adventurer that becomes a creature, or turns out to be a creature? It stands to reason that suddenly adventurers in that setup lose their "legal protection". Does this mean that say, Dan goes off on an adventure, slays a Demon, and that Demon's family takes him to court. In the past, Dan's judge/jury would have been beings, who would have been biased in his favor. Now, since it turns out he's a creature, his judge/jury will also be a creature, and that bias vaporizes.
It looks like Dan's not going to be resurrecting his old career as an adventurer if he wants to stay out of legal trouble. Or at least, try to avoid the provable-in-court hacky and slashy.
Final Thought, now that it can be proven that Dan's a creature now, can all the parties he's brought "harm" to during his adventuring days come back and demand a retrial? Demand compensation?

Actually, his judge would be a 'Cubi. Dan seems to thrive on justice, so his behaviour would likely make perfect sense to such a person. If he went around killing other 'Cubi, then he'd have a problem but he swore not to do that. I wonder if this kind of culpability is why Dee made him take that oath...?

Maybe that's another angle of it. I had thought she made him take that oath because she had enough foresight to consider the possibility that he could be an incubus (I think Jyrras needs to make a home test kit for that; find out if you're cubi in 5 minutes), and did not want to risk damaging relations or starting new hostilities with other cubi clans. A clan doesn't need more enemies then it already has, and considering some of Cyra's enemies (dragons) I'd make that a pretty high priority for all clan members.
ahahahahahahahah~
I didn't see that coming. Also, I bet Regina is happy to take away her from Kria...unless she's pulled into doing the same chores she was previously doing for Kria but now for DP.

the lighting in the panel with DP and Regina sees odd to me... and it's not really all that funny... I mean I admire the effort that went into it . However, I just find this strip as enjoyable as some of the others, but it's not at its best. I'll stop talking now.

Actually, looks like the markings are a bit longer. He's missing one of the spikes on his forehead, though. He's got two in comic 153 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_153.php) and only one in the current comic (aside from the one on his nose). Maybe he lost one in the last fight? Or this one, since those red marks would hide the blood. :)
Meanwhile, to paraphrase Barf in
Spaceballs, "Nice fade out."
that *does* lend itself to questions. how would one represent the lighting effects of someone who is only *partially* transluscent? does the shading fade, is there shading at all? how does shading translate from a more solid portion of the flesh to a further faded version?
this is going to hurt my art-brain thinking about.

his spikes are add-ons. make-up to look spookier. says so in his bio. so likely, he didn't put them all in.
baddies always have a few rat-holes, so we can expect DP to have some sort of backup base while he goes off to recruit cannon fodder. ONe wonders how seriously Dan is going to press this, once he gets healed.

Yes, but I was under the impression that they were add-ons as in, plastic surgery, not add-ons as in, temporary tattoo. I mean, how would one add a nose spike to make it last through whatever you were doing, including a fight? That would have to be some very strong glue, and I don't wanna think on how much skin you'd remove trying to take the sucker off. :<

Magic, obviously. Or a trade secret among demons.
I guess Aliph likes Regina....
also, Aliph has digitigrade legs, while Kria has plantigrade. I wonder if it's just a random genetic thing (like red-hair or whatever)
Angel's reaction: "LOL Buttface!"
Anyways. So, they will meet again, as always. And I personally hope Dan enlists some help and gets an adventuring party going. Maybe dear Mommy would be willing to help now that her baby's got the clan-mark. :3
Re: DP spikes
The second one is just in front of his hair, and the same color. It's there, you are just misinterpreting it as hair.
Regina probably gave Aliph a hurried briefing of the situation right after his resurrection, so he knows Regina can't stay.
Well, now she gets a chance to learn Evil Plots 101. >:3
Dan has reason enough, when he gets healed and back to lost lake, to gather his friends and hold a council of war. Or at least a briefing. Lorinda has questions, and everone who was involved in the encounter with Regina six years ago needs to be brought up on recent developments.
Exposition opportunity!
Some talks of the judicial system here, but everything that I've seen talked about in the comic, especially that fashion oddly enough lead me to think there is no overbearing law system there. Looks like most of the world is city states or at best smaller areas or rule. Which is one of the reason that a lot of people can go from one area cause a lot of trouble then be just fine in another area. Not a continental area of authority. Hence, Aniz killing people in the demon majority city but being in Cubi majority or ruled territory they were not in fact going to turn him over.
And yes, this one was lol worthy... but-face. >D

Well, Regina Is family, after all. None of Amber's characters are shallow and adhere strictly to the typical stereotypes. DP has his objectives (resurrecting this dead god of his), but that doesn't mean that's the only thing that's important to him.
What I think is interesting from this story arc is, despite the hatred Dan and DBF has for eachother, there's a lot of traits they have in common together (stubbornness, bigotry, stubbornness again...) It makes me wonder what DP's origin is, how did he become the demon that he is today. Might he once have walked a path similar to Dan's when he was his age, and made choices that took him down a different path? Will Dan have to make these same choices as he comes to terms with his cubi heritage? Just how many adventurers turned cubi stay adventurers? What do they do with their suddenly elongated natural (or unnatural if they get a craving for soul food) lifespans? Do many of them eventually get sick of it all, and give into the temptation of going evil?

Who knows? Abel seems to be a reasonable sort, though all told he's still comparatively young. What he'd be like at 2000 is anybody's guess.

As a new-born fan of the
God of War series, I will point out that Kratos - then-current God of War - died in
God of War II, and just came back more badass and awesome than ever. And more violent, but this
is God of War we're talking about. A god dying doesn't necessarily make them any less awesome: it just proves the kind of enemies they made.
Besides, maybe a Fae killed/got rid of the Dark God. In that case, it's not the god's fault.
Heh.
Makes me wonder what Amber and her brother's coversations sounded like in their early teens.

btw. Did those red markings on DP face change? I looked around a bit and to me it seems they have been different each time he's been around. Often just slightly, which could be Amber just doing it a bit different each time, but there are several times where difference is more noticeable. Possibility it changes each time he is resurrected, which would be somewhat nice detail?

ahahahahahahahah~
I didn't see that coming. Also, I bet Regina is happy to take away her from Kria...unless she's pulled into doing the same chores she was previously doing for Kria but now for DP.
I wonder how Dan will break the news to Bigg's that he couldn't defeat DP and stop him from escaping.
I get the feeling Dan won't be seeing Biggs until DP is dead and cremated...
He probably has to, it's not like Dan knows where DP will fade away to.

Heh.
Makes me wonder what Amber and her brother's coversations sounded like in their early teens.
Good question
*Charline chuckles* DP's sentiments seem rather hypocritical. It's obvious that some demons harbor a thirst for revenge just as long as adventurers. He's always so arrogant about his race. Fa'lina would wipe the floor with him in an instant. Just look at the damage Dan gave him with only a half-assed attack devoid of any forethought. ANY trained Cubi would quickly dispatch him once more.
Because we Cubi are in fact the ultimate race! :mwaha

Oh. Ha! I never noticed. :B Nice catch.
I think the fact that DP seems hypocritical is a large part of this arc. His attitude is the same as Regina's: "You'd think he wouldn't take it so personally (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_972.php)".
I also noticed that DP is taking Dan seriously as a threat now. What's going to be interesting is whether DP tries to continue prior plans or goes into hiding.

Alondro, some race of Munchkins called the Fae would like a word with you... and the Dragons too, for that matter.
This promises to be interesting...
Reading waaay too much into the precise wording, I found DP's line "For your sake, I hope your immature decision doesn't result in you and your daughter's death" to be rather interesting.
The guy's died about 3 times now. Is he saying that he's not going to try to resurrect them if the worst happens? (In which case, Kria is probably going to torch him herself next time, even if Dan doesn't) Or is he suggesting that Dan won't leave enough left for it to be possible?

I think you are.
Other thing is, though, it may not be possible to resurrect just anyone with Aliph's technique, either - it may be specialized for him.
It seems like the resurrection ritual would be very valuable.
