When I think "avenging angel", I think something like this, though that may just be because I play too many video games. tongue

The outfit makes me wonder... is Noah going to start crushing on Grace? Or is it just hero worship?

That's what I'm wondering too.

If he starts thinking "Aphrodite and Hephaestus" when he sees Tedd, things will get complicated. Let's just hope he won't be Ares...

Angels were, originally, not even humanoid.

What about the cherubim? They were...

...

...well they stood upright at any rate.

When it has eight appendages and four faces, your argument is invalid.

That's not the awesome part. Those faces were a man's, a lion's, an ox's and an eagle's.

(And, of course, four of those appendages were wings.)

Basically, the cherubim are fucking metal.

Two of those wings supported the throne of God.

Wait, so which were the ones that had 2 wings for flying, 2 to cover their feet, and 2 to cover their faces?

Ah, I see.

Also, Shive is putting up a Sketchbook tomorrow because he's rewriting the next comic. I honestly think he should make that his schedule, because it happens so often. Update 4 days a week with Sketchbook on Thursday.

[up][up][up]My thoughts exactly. I don't mind a comic four times a week, I mind if I get a comic four times a week while I expect one more.

One of the angles was covered in eyes. And when I say covered, I mean... Just look it up. Go find a bible. We could probably use the quote for eye scream.

If he's going to purposefully do 4 updates a week, he shouldn't make it mon-wed + fri. That's a silly schedule. If you must take one weekday off, make it monday, friday or wednesday. The work's nicely grouped together, that way.

Maybe it's because she's female but I'm thinking less angel and more valkyrie. Might also be because I'm pagan, not Christian.

I think some competition for Grace's affection would provide some interesting drama. I'm jumping the gun here, but seeing both Noah and Tedd holding requited love for Grace would make a good subplot.

Oh dear. Anyone know where AHR's reset button is?

Cakman, that's your job, isn't it?

But um, yes. Nanase and Ellen. Or, arguably, Sarah and Elliot.

Now we wait for Noah's motivations to be properly explained, and see if that's going to mess up any relationships.

Though, to be fair, Noah x Grace would be kind of amusing, since it'd be all 'hey look! The pseudo-sues have decided to hook up with each other and leave the rest of alone! Yay!'
