I don't see why it would be. This hasn't been a particularly important or altering moment for any of the Annies thus far. Nothing to make a big change come about.

Actually I think this is the first time we've seen swearing in the comic period.

Do we know which Annie this is? If it was the one with Eglamore that might explain her frustration.

Damn, City Annie's anger is a sight to behold.

Short hair and makeup, that is the one (City Annie) that was with Eglamore.

I don't think this is the first time there's been cussing, but I can't remember the previous instance(s).

Zimmy's outburst on the Sound-Effect Bleep page image, Jack's father calling Surma a C-word in a flashback, Jimmy Jims' assessment of Tony's character, to name a few.

All censored.

Erm... "damn", "damned" and "damnation" aren't at all heavies in British cursing. Nor are other religiously themed "curses" seen as particularly nasty, even in polite conversation.

Just saying. <_<

So, whatevs. <shrugs> If this gets your knickers in a twist, you don't want to head down the Bigg Market on a Saturday evening.

There has been swearing before that was just covered up, like Kat called Red a bitch in the chapter she discovered hair gel.

Fire Head Girl! Been a while since we've seen Annie really freak out at someone or something.

I think there's been a 'damn' or 'hell' or two from some of the adult characters. It's just Annie specifically I can't recall seeing using that kind of language before.

It's a relative thing. When a character who has never sworn does so, that at least merits a "huh".

2201 Who indeed? And Rey has fire powers now?!

Yeah he does, Annie(s) can share with him. That's even been mentioned in dialogue earlier, I think.

It's obviously Eglamore.

It's Eglemore's new girlfriend.

Page 2202.

I feel bad for this, but I'll repeat: we had nothing foreshadowing this person's existence or had any way of guessing she would interfere in the events of this. I'm feeling quite a bit underwhelmed by this whole story.

if this is a long term character, their intro is just their intro and doesn't necessarily need foreshadowing. this'll also read differently when read as a book and not having to wait days between pages.

It's more the fact that she just kinda swooped in and saved everybody without us having any prior knowledge of her existence, from a predicament we already couldn't have known the characters were in in the first place.

She's a deus ex machina in an already poorly executed mystery. I wouldn't mind the first part much normally, but together with the second one, it's striking me as odd. This story is usually better written than that.

Plus Tom forgot to draw her arm-wrapping when she's eating the wisp-leg.

I'm sort of wondering if the crew is actually out of the Lotus-Eater Machine yet.

(For what it's worth, it's clear that we weren't meant to solve the initial mystery; there weren't really any clues and the In Media Res start was meant to make the readers feel as unbalanced as the main characters clearly were.)

The mystery was potentially solvable, until the comic suddenly went "NOPE! All those clues are WRONG NOW!"

Did you feel the same way in the first scene of Saving Private Ryan when all these people who weren’t Tom Hanks pulled out grenades out of nowhere to blow up encampments so the allies could advance?

Please note, anybody getting itched by this... you're worrying about a little bit of a Matrix arse-pull... within a wider multi-dimensional spaghetti situation entirely cobbled together out of etheric wossname by Loup which we have already been following for a while now.

This whole "random green lass and the whisps" business is still small potatoes compared to what has happened to the shuffled Annies. Not to mention their dimensions.

Give it ten pages. You'll probably find out that it's a clue to something bigger.

No doubt. But until then, all I've got is a poorly built narrative that took weeks to even start making sense.
