Oh wow. The last time I looked at gunnerkrigg court there were hardly a dozen pages. Glad to see it's continued going for long enough that there's a sufficient quantity to actually read! I can catch all the way up tonight, and then i can check again in 2036.

    Yea you might be seeing them out of order, for these kinds of comms you gotta sort by new. All pages I post in order as they're released tho

    This comic is also one that isn't very drop in friendly, at a minimum you gotta go back like....5 chapters lmao

    You're probably not seeing them all in order, if you're only seeing them here. And obviously, you're not getting all the story context.

    But yeah, the comic itself is a little bit fever dreamy. It's not unusual for a strip to only fully make sense a few strips later. Particularly for big action moments.

    Highly recommend starting it from scratch, if you're curiou Even though it does start out a little, uhh..... "kiddie" maybe.

    I've only ever heard of this comic seeing it posted here and it's like a fever dream. The story makes no sense and the pages jump from one scene to a completely different one with no rhyme or reason.

    Literally, she made the cup hot because she either misunderstood the assignment or chose to do it 'wrong' on purpose.

    Narratively, I think it's intended to show us Noa's character, maybe that she takes the wrong approach and doubles down when questioned, even by the instructor. Maybe that becomes her source of strength?

    I'm a little worried that her title as "the muscle" when she grows up means she brute forces magic and has acquired an absurd amount of durability through layers too complex for kat to deal with quickly or something. She came around the corner ominously, alone, opposed by a character that just got antimagic lasergrids, a fire elemental with ties to multiple demigods and death, and a teleporting dragonslayer. I feel this foreshadows that something real stupid is about to happen.
