(Mod edit to add a courtesy link to El Goonish Shive.)
Yay! Its back again! I stagger my reading of it to Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday cause there aren't enough good webcomics on those days, so I am not the best person to lead a real time discussion, but it really needs a thread. So in Monday's we see the mysterious return of the dark figure. (linky)
Who is starting to sound really, really desperate.
Also, is it just the art upgrade, or does Ellen's green ray seem more... jeeze, what is a same word to use? Powerful? More powerful then usual?

I'll admit it, I like Jerry, and I like his interpretations on the characters. Grace's is a bit clichéd, but it makes up for all the sugar she oozes out of her pores.
New User HandleAHR: Dan Shive is also paranoid about his Ho Yay being gratuitous: His comment on an edited page in book one mentions this.
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."Well, she's finally cracked.
This should be interesting. Let the horrific wave of righteous fury commence!

Ohhh fuck. Now,I would flee,but it's obvious that he's going to be the target of her rage,so... *munches popcorn*
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.I'm enjoying this current arc, because it's never what I was expecting as Shive advances the plot.
Case in point:
What I expected in the cave: a mess, the hammer switched with a false one, something along those lines What I got: Jerry
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah...God of Awesome: I was talking about ALL of the previous arcs since Ellen showed up./ Also, it's pretty obvious that the immortals tailing Elliot are the ones that gave Susan and Nanase their powers, but rejuvenated (hence the amnesia)
Likes many underrated webcomics

I retract my previous "Oh fuck" and replace it with "Fucking leg it!"
I'm largely ok with these last few strips, but the whole Super Saiyan mode struck me as a bit...odd. Does she or does she NOT have strong magical abilities? Wasn't the whole point of the hammer ability due to the fact she had no training?
New User HandleNothing quite calms down homicidal rage like a few kittens, bunnies and a puppy.
I'm kinda hoping the one on Susan's head stays as a Head Pet.
Which it will not with 90% certainty....
Sonic hates SOPA

That was an actual spell and not a Happy Place? Aww,I wanted apocalyptic destruction...
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.I too shall conclude the illusion is fuzzy, despite not being able to reach out and pet it.
Sonic hates SOPASarah in Panel 4 reminds me of a pissed off Index.
What's the trope for Panel 3? I'm sure there's one. It's like a Non Sequitur, *Thud* without the Thud.

Wait, when did I get a manga blog?

I have an extra dollop of hate for Shive's Yuri fanboyism, because I see a lot of my own yaoi fangirl fascination in him, only as a yuri equivalent. So I can empathize, and that is what makes me hate it even more because I am always EXTREMELY paranoid about gratuitious Ho Yay in my stories and I do try and present it the same way I would present any of my straight couples, and Shive strikes me as not trying much.
It's pretty much 'I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING CAUSE I DO IT ALL THE TIME MYSELF! YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME!'
