No rough page for this one - originally I had this and the next page smashed into a single page, but I hated it once I sketched it out! What looked ok in the roughs stage looked rushed and confusing in the sketch stage. It needed a few extra panels of downward spiral to work, so here we are, taking a few extra beats for Ethan's realization and Malthus gearing up for a terrible time (;╹⌓╹) aaaahhhh

Time for one of my favorite spell-breaking scenes, where Gandalf exorcises Saruman from Theoden (and in the movie, sends the bad guy flying across the room). You can watch it here if you haven't seen it. https://vimeo.com/129509723

Again, Malthus completely misses the point of "love." the fact that Ethan is able to recognize this isn't Al so quickly *means* they love each other. No illusion can fake that.

Ahhhhh Nahhhhh! Hasn’t Ethan suffered enough? 😭😭 Al HAS to know what is going down right now! Lure that fucker Malthus out like they did in that past episode with that little girl who was possessed! Then cut his head off before the transfer!! Shit! Now my blood pressure is up! Not a good thing for this vintage daddy, right now! 😅 Sorry! I’m getting too carried away! 😘
