I hope we get to see someone punch Voltaire in his smug face. I'm not sure if it would solve anything, but it would be cathartic. I doubt that Sirleck would be trying to possess Mr Raven. Magus isn't just a powerful wizard, but one that is virtually unknown to the world. While Raven might be a powerful wizard with an incredibly long life span (and there have been hints that elves can be killed and will stay dead if so), he also has a fairly integrated life as a teacher, both of history and of magic. Also I get the feeling that possessing a half-immortal would be unwise in general, because otherwise, why not seek out a half-immortal to take before now?

Though if Edward comes up empty that means either Elliot and Nanase's logic about him doing background checks is flawed (possible but unlikely with how well they know him) or there is more to the issue than there appears. He's a highly influential person that works for the FBI, the agency that performs most, if not all, of the federal government's background checks. Especially as he would have the clearance to more restricted sections of knowledge in those checks. If the knowledge exists and is available to government systems, Mr. Verres can likely get access to it, provided it's not above his security clearance.

Also, if they talk to Mr Verres first and their suspicions are true, then they will have vetted data proving their point if/when they go to talk to Susan about it, because Mr. Verres is going to have a bunch of exposition and a chart or two.

We don't know if Netflix and it's equivalents exist in EGS, but Youtube does and has enough popularity that the FBI Paranormal Division can't reasonably stop the secrecy leak that resulted from Cheerleadra and Justin versus the Fire Monster getting recorded by all the patrons of the comic shop, forcing a paradigm shift away from discrediting the existence of magic. In real life, Youtube and video streaming services like it were in many ways the forerunners of services like Netflix and Hulu. So it's possible that the movie streaming (and home delivery) services exist in the EGS-verse, just Moperville has a larger than average number of people that prefer going to the store to rent things. I'm not sure about other rental chains, but Blockbuster died due to bad business decisions in the face of a better alternative. Their punishing late-fee policy, Loading up on too many new releases to the determent of their other sections, among other things. Presumably, Tensaided understands his customer base well enough to make coming to his store a pleasant experience in itself. Either that or his customer find his antics enjoyable. Maybe both.

Well, effectively, either route is potentially going behind someone's back. Either go behind Susan and ask her mother, or go behind her mother and ask Susan.

Yeah, she might be upset, at least until she learns more about Susan's past and all the trauma therein. Susan got to grow up in wealth, while Diane got to grow up with a more complete and loving family.

Well, Mr. Verres does have enough friends in high places to make him effectively immune to being outright fired from his job, even for something as bad as almost killing a suspect that had voluntarily surrendered. He also is likely to be rather trusted by his superiors as he's been rather open about the various abilities that the main cast has. Also the TFG might not be outright illegal, just regulated. Authorities that are in on the masquerade have the means of confirming identity even through spells and such that would conceal it, even something like Elliot's Cheerleadra and alter-egos spell, which has clauses that can mess up other spells relating to identity, such as Nanase's fairy doll spell. I could see Edward bending things a little to get his son the licenses and such that would be needed for ownership and/or manufacture of the TFG (probably holding the actual licenses himself as Ted is/was a minor and the US government doesn't let minors hold most licenses)

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1093 I think the fact that the french vampire preyed on women allowed them to use the hammers on it, and the hammers' magical nature allowed them to work on the vampire.

And presumably, any magic object could be used to hurt vampires, just non-weapons probably would not do spectacular damage. (the stun hammers bypassed the vampire's resistances, though they did only stun it still)

I think Ellen's Copy Beam gives her powers if the powers are intrinsic to that form, like Nanase's guardian form and theoretically Elliot's Cheerleadra form. I doubt it would give her any powers that aren't intrinsic to the form being copied. So she wouldn't get Susan's spells if she copied her form and I doubt she would get Grace's abilities if she copied her, as Grace's abilities are intrinsic to Grace, not any particular form she has (Maybe with the exception of senses gained from antennae if Grace has those out when copied)

Well, the question I have is: Why are there both female and male representations of two particular aspects of his personality? And does it signify anything important? Is it a Chekov's Gun, or a Red Herring? Likely nothing too important. Elliot has been stuck having to regularly transform into a girl for a while by that point and he tends to be a rather laid back guy for the most part (he seems to get that from his parents), so it's possible some of his subconscious has picked up more feminine qualities. He still seems bothered by being forced to transform into a girl at that point though maybe with a degree of grudging acceptance.

It's Elliot's version of Curiosity and Logic, or Diane's angel and devil. Just a representation of his mental state. I wonder what each aspect represents. The one in the robe is obviously Elliot's libido and the superhero is likely his Superego/Protector aspect. I think the black-shirted female might be his Logic. I'm stumped on which is which between the other three though.

True, though thrown weapons could work, such as javelins or throwing axes.
