Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There's one Loss, one Balthazar, one Miep and one crewmate. Bonus comics don't count.
FIRST PANEL
1: A Colossi and Doshin the Giant are about to square off the background. Is it the third? I've never played Shadow of the Colossus, Spirit of Gotham.
2: It might be a bit hard to see for the untrained eye, but the guy being carried off is Jack Baker, the Resident Evil 7 main antagonist.
SECOND PANEL
3: Another Master Hand is playing the gotcha game, although I guess we can almost consider it cheating when they do it in a place that you were probably already going to look. Still... gotcha, Lord Circe.
4: It's been ages since I last put one of these in, but that palm tree shape in the background is an Alolan Exeggutor. I used to put those in every Young Adult Red comic back in the day.
THIRD PANEL
5: This whole panel is one big JoJo reference, of course. Found by Cameron Devera.
6: There's also a little Pikmin sprout in the ground because I've been playing Pikmin 4. Not so random, Jon Brouse.
7: Miep is watchng Sephiroth approach Malenia from behind a bush. She's visible underneath Sephiroth. Good catch, Green Dragon 53!
FOURTH PANEL
8: Malenia's circle thingy on her shoulder pad turns into a crewmate in the lower left corner of this panel. Impressed you noticed it, Brandon Digwood!
9: Apparently, Red and Blue are also on the island. Blue has carved "Blue was here, Red is a loser" into the tree behind Layton and Sackboy, which is a reference to what his anime counterpart Gary did. You got it, A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends.
FIFTH PANEL
10: Balthazar and the emerged Pikmin are running away from the second phases that are about to clash. The Pikmin isn't chasing Balthazar, Ethan Cross.
11: Lots of the dialogue in this comic is straight from actual games or cutscenes, particularly "now, I will bring you despair" and Malenia's monologue when she transforms into her second phase. Glad you pointed that out, Generic Hero!
EIGHTH PANEL
12: This week's loss is visible in the big butterflies that are coming from Malenia in this panel! Glad you were the one to notice it once again, Trigger!
13: There's another Gobbo watching in the background. I think last week's comic has turned me into a Croc stan, Pokedude14.
Details that have not been found are marked italic.
Comments
Generic Hero
Malenia's dialogue when she transforms is taken word-for-word from Elden Ring, as is her saying she has "never known defeat"
Michael Alessandro
The Third panel is a Jojo reference! Sephiroth is doing the classic Jojo walk!
