So… how many of you just read this page twice, once for Peter’s panels, once for Mium/Naomi/Nathans? How many people just read them in order? 😀 Pfff, Narrative flow is for chumps!
I don’t think either Naomi or Mium have any discernible fear of heights. Or really acknowledgement of their existence.
Poor Naomi, no one else seems to be out there just to fight for the fun of it. How strange. I mean some could point to Rovak, but realistically he’s tried harder than most to talk his way out of fights. Sometimes. He’s just not very good at it. And usually in the middle of committing rather large scale crimes (you know, abduction, terrorism, arson…). Hmm, does blowing buildings up count as arson? Probably not. The house did seem be smoking a bit by the time he was finished with it at least.

There is an “interesting” typo in both Peter and Nathan’s lines.
Also, it looks like they’re both a bit confused.
Interesting…
Fixed, thanks 🙂
Pages like this are why I love the writing in this comic. You can see the schemers trying to account for each others’ plans, and, well, when you have more than one plotter and more than one plan…
Huh. Speaking of which, the writing of this comic reminds me of HPMOR quite a bit, in all the best ways (minus the focus on pedagogy, of course – more lore-oriented). Smart characters playing carefully with extremely powerful resources and all that. [Perhaps a bit more like its unofficial sequel, Significant Digits.]
I will take it as a compliment (I take most things as a compliment for simplicity’s sake 😀 ), but what’s HPMOR?
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality (hpmor.com). It’s a Harry Potter fanfiction, technically, based around the idea of “if Harry were smart,” but basically has a life of its own.
It’s hard to do intelligent characters in a way that is simultaneously “genuinely intelligent” and “not simply omniscient,” but I think this comic pulls that off really well, as comics like this illustrate.
First panel: “Mium can be pretty good at message passing”
Second panel: “She seems at least somewhat placated”
Fixed, thanks 🙂
Panel 6 (under some quantification): “a sniper” (first bubble) and “and then” (beginning of second bubble)
Haha then/than the most classic of all PastUtopia writing errors. Back in the ol’ days barely a page went by with the the wrong than. 😉
Fixed, thanks 😀
