19/12/2010 [DMFA# 1178] - Unexpected, Terrifying, AND Hilarious

[Icalasari]

Abel looks both insane and sexy in the first panel...

Edit: Fixed your title. Hope you don't mind.

This was one freaking awesome update

Lorenda's face in panel three made me laugh.
She's acting like a kid who was just told that there's an all-you-can-eat event at the local candy store

[Madmann135]

I will skip my mind in gutter moment and say... Lorenda is surely cute and scary when she is excited.

[Inumo]

Abel's initial reaction (aka 1st panel) seems a rather sudden and odd change from the mind-snapping of the last comic... It looks like he just heard something ridiculously funny, whereas the previous comic seems to be shocked. Then it changes to anger... Rather crazy mood swings.

[Nino]

Wow, Abel's really pissed about it, like he's not only extremely upset that Devin is undead (as opposed to dead), but like he's accusing Lorenda of being responsible as well. Just look at that angry face in panel 2.

You mean like Fa'lina?

I think the first panel is him trying very hard to mask the fact that he's unpleasantly surprised about it.
I absolutely love his expression in the last panel, though.

[Captain]

best third panel ever.


I think Lorenda is gonna explode (if she hasn't already).

[Tapewolf]

The other point I was going to make was that until recently, Abel thought Devin was a product of his own insanity.  Now that he finds Devin is actually real, he's switched more into a 'Who's done this!?!' mode.

This could get very, very interesting when he finds out it was DP who dunnit.  It could potentially see Abel helping Dan against Dark Pegasus.

until first blood. 

[Tapewolf]

until first blood. 

Depends on the kind of help, I guess.  But yes, good point.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Not only that, Abel's response to "you knew him when he was alive?" could well be "He wasn't when I left him."

... which could be taken in all the wrong ways. *cough*

[Ghostwish]

I think if suffices to say that Lorenda is now the envy of all the Abel fans out there.

[That_wolf]

Abel's experiencing a MASIVE mood whiplash. From panicky, to herp derp(I'm sorry, his "Open... ice tray" face is hilarious) to mind snapped, to deceitful, to anger, to confused, and finishing off at "Help?"

Amber is always good at Scarey and Cute at the same time.   Lorenda is acting like a teen-age who was told her teen idol is coming to town.  I wonder that Teenhood fantasies she has of Devin...

PS... Amber, December is too BIG to go hiding under the couch... ...It is most likely under your bed with the other months of the year.  They slip under there, when you are sleeping.

[D'ymkarra]

Talk about running the spectrum of emotions....Abel seems a little relieved that Devin is still 'alive' (even if he is undead), seeing as he felt kind of responsible for his death in the first place.

Woo boy...this could lead to all sorts of strange and funny.

[joshofspam]

I take it Devon has been like an older brother to Lorenda.

It isn't so surprising that she would get all excited in possibly reuniting an old acquaintance for him. If Abel is now going to the party I see them both making snarky comments about how stupid DP and Dan are acting at the party.

[Inumo]

Just realized, Amber set the backgrounds to match the moment more. Abel's first, weird laughing-without-being-happy panel's drippy brown with cream, then the next panel where he appears to be getting angry is a darker brown. After that, panel three is suddenly tan, with a small cream-colored circle radiating out from Lorenda, and panel four is cream with a sun burst centered on Abel/Lorenda.

Woo, go Amber!

[Angel]

 

I think that about sums up my reaction to all this. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[entropicage]

Which just leads me to ask... What's so important about someone knowing Devin when he was alive? Is it for Devin's sake, or Lorenda's? Does she have some sneaky plan, or just want to know more about the blue wonder pre-deathification?

[LionHeart]

According to his cast page, Devin has no memories of his life. Lorenda might be thinking that Abel could help to fill in some of the void in his memory.

Yeah, I'm sure Cookies 'n' Cream would enjoy that. "So, he pulled my head-wings, stood up, and got splashed all over my face."...

Well seeing as Devin didn't recognize Abel at all, chances are the three of them sitting down to try and jumpstart Devin's memory, would end in epic fail 

[Tapewolf]

That and they held each other in contempt for about 16 years until the day Devin died and Abel "turned into a monster"...

[Cassi-kun]

It could potentially see Abel helping Dan against Dark Pegasus.

But there is Abel's relationship with Kria to consider. She's something of a motherly figure to him, even if only marginally. She was part of his life when his world was ripped apart, could he really assault her brother?

Which makes me realize: does Abel know that Lorenda is Kria's daughter?

[Tapewolf]

Hard to say.  She was tempted to sell DP out when Dan showed up.

Also, it is possible that he overheard Fa'Lina implying that Kria was responsible for the massacre that killed Devin during the hospital visit. 

(e.g.  http://missmab.com/Comics/Ab_085.php  ...and later pages)

...which might mean that he has less than affectionate feelings for Kria.

Which makes me realize: does Abel know that Lorenda is Kria's daughter?

It hasn't been revealed yet, as far as I know.  But it's going to be interesting to find out.

[Captain]

I thought it was obviously no, he doesn't know Lorenda is Kria's daughter.

[Cassi-kun]

Shyeah, a better question probably would have been does he even know she's part of the Soulstealer family at all.

[Kirishala]

He does

Yea, he knows Kria is
Abel might not know Lorenda is a member of the Soulstealer clan.  When one talks of Friends to new friends, you may not remember to state their last names.
