I would be much more uncomfortable if Dan would censor the comic just so we can discuss it more easily. It's Dan's comic - WE need to adapt. (Also, actually avoiding all politics would get complicated quickly ; even the Uryuom's claims they are not aliens can be taken politically, and thats 2003. Not speaking about the sexual "minorities", that's still political topic isn't it?) True, if he copied the spell it should be able to do that ... of course noone knows about it yet but it still opens the possibility for someone to "borrow" it ...

Yeah, but George has insurance for that. He might not be only one. If that insurance company isn't stupid, they will use footage of the incident from youtube to promote that option, believing that the incident was isolated - and up to now, they still think the additional money for monster insurance was worth it. Of course, tomorrow they might regret it ... or maybe not, because the total number of cars wrecked by vampires still wouldn't be THAT high.

Well it did scare her how savage she was, she effectively lost control and let her animal instincts kick in, and it could have been much worse for Dr Scuiridae. That's why it's important for her to have no remorse for aberrations. No cure. ... aaand allies should give her space. Right. Yes, but seems she only progresses very slowly.

Well, if Pandora happens to be available. Problem 1, Sam has to admit he's a a she. Problem 2, Pandora is kind of preoccupied right now. Problem 3, Pandora might not be able to do it if she resets. 1) ... or Sarah needs to notice. I mean, she would still need to admit it, but it would be hard to deny if Sarah blurts it ... 2 & 3) ... other immortals should be able to do that too. Actually, his spell can only permanently change HIS gender (or her). Although he DID mentioned he will be probably able to make wand for changing gender permanently. It would fit the pattern, but I think she will only get such spell AFTER the possibility of Tedd doing it will be explored.

I think that's actually him already noticing changes, not related to what he's saying. I would assume that if Ashley would have actual talent for transformation and not just desire, she would be markable no matter how likely she is to use the spell. Talents are stable, it's the desires you can sabotage by just thinking too much. Ashley is really really nice and can't imagine someone else being ok by being transformed by her. ... you know, forget Elliot. She would totally get gender change spell the moment she meets Sam or whoever wrote Elliot the message and her niceness gets on the other side.

The Omega Form might be automatically reinforcing the claws even without the berserker mode. Also, what's so bad on berserker mode? Of course, Grace would prefer claymore to using her claws, but then she needs to buy one and put it in Susan's trunk.

That's technically true, but I still think that there is reason why he didn't revealed it right away and this doesn't seem like better place. Also this. They don't want to be cured now and they might not like being cured even after you do it. Where it was mentioned he was "undying"? Hard to kill, sure, but it may not be harder to kill than "normal" werewolves. Werewolves in Underworld lived just as long as vampires and I vaguely remember several others, but yes, usually it's not mentioned.

Hopefully they'd be upfront about what they want, and make it clear the recruit has a choice to not do it. I would be hopeful about that as well, but unfortunately Helena and Demetrius don't have a good track record in regards to that. I would actually say that they are already aware of Adrian and Noah but they wouldn't try to "recruit" them because they would need to be upfront about it. And they are likely afraid to approach Susan and/or Nanase again. Greg? Well ... maybe ... "One of"? That may be true but competition is great. I think Nanase's royal-level talent is still better, or at least same with her having headstart. And obviously, professionals like Adrian Raven, Edward Verres or Agent Wolf (one of most powerful wizards in the mid-western United States) would be more powerful, not speaking about Noriko Verres (she's likely not in Moperville, though). And, well, Grace has lot of power in her technically-magic ...

Yes. If the company doesn't do anything tangible - say, it's in insurances or loans - it will still be unlikely someone else than regulators would care. And I suspect that CEO's in such business rarely possess high level of empathy. It might even be SAFER for him if he can laugh at accusation of being monster with some witty remark like "sure, I have it in job description" or "only from 9 to 5". I think that number of CEOs is big enough that even with good coordination it just isn't worth investigating. I think he shares that trait with Bad Tom, though BT's a sand-lot bad guy compared with a big-league villain like Sirleck. You need lot of experience to get from Bad Tom to Sirleck, yes. Maybe, if he didn't hit Susan (and without magic reset), he would be aberration in 40 years.

Wasn't Liz's mark supposed to be something with not pretending? Also, I sort of expect that if Dan didn't said what spell Liz got in EFTM he is keeping it as big reveal in main story, why would it appear now, outside canon? And, yes, if Elliot can transform someone else it would be first time. Pandora really, really wanted to give Ashley a TRANSFORMATION mark but COULDN'T because Ashley is too good to use such spell. She COULD give her some healing but that was useless to her. I suspect Ashley only really changed by meeting Elliot - meaning, she might be markable with transformation spells NOW but because Pandora already stopped marking left right ... Sure it would be game changer but personally I think that having someone who main eight can kill without second guessing it will be better. Susan just started to get out of depression caused by killing one vampire, she doesn't need reason to get back. Also, I would guess that if Ashley had this kind of power Pandora would notice.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=673 probably, http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php for now. Nanase should've escaped sooner. Also, apparently Rhoda is VERY distracted. I'm not surprised Mrs. Kitsune is ok staying this age and Nanase is not. Nanase's age is best from those three options and unlike Akiko Nanase already knows why (Ellen).

While you personally might only have one channel, the phrase was referring to possibility of having more - meaning, two or three - with the additional danger that trying to tune other channel took some time, as you needed to manually find the correct frequency for the channel by tuning some knob connected to coil. Only later TVs with "support" for more than one channel appeared, with the first versions having physical switches which controlled which tunable coil will be connected to the circuit, so you could tune every coil for different channel. ... wait. Actually, the phrase likely predates TVs and refers to radios, which rarely got support for multiple channels until they got digital tuner.

It isn't, but being a really rich obnoxious guy who has to have a lot of enemies and a lot of people looking into his misdeeds for justice or for blackmail isn't the best strategy to hide either. And Sirleck clearly enjoyed lording it over his minions a lot, over and above living a life of luxury. I would assume he's as rich as he dares, and as unknown as possible. ... or, this might be limit of how rich can he be without getting famous. Like, wouldn't surprise me if he would be 402th richest american just to not end up on Forbes 400 (although there are likely other ways how to not end up on such list than not being rich enough). While valid question, I would note that 1) His inability to do anything more with the secretary might also by caused by his host age (and, in fact, I would assume the eating and drinking is not as good as with younger host as well) 2) I suspect he ALWAYS enjoyed power more than more mundane pleasures.

If this happened in real life, they'd most likely panic, and so would I for that matter at such a sudden change. First, they do seem to panic. Second, so what? They deserve it. What ellipsis? ... funny how can we say this confidently despite the comics being grayscale I suppose next set of laws they wanted to talk about has something to do with "immigration".

Sooo, Nanase is still child? Well it SHOULD revert in few days ... How? Sure, this isn't canon, but still, Ashley shouldn't have any magic. Also, would totally try in real life, despite the high likehood they wouldn't actually learn from that experience.

So, Susan successfully recognized someone based on description "she looks just like you". (Obviously, except hair and height.) Not sure who is more nervous. And both react to it by looking elsewhere ... The problem with "choosing the same entrance" is that ANY entrance might be the one the other will use.

Because ruler of the world is the best place to hide at, right. He needs to keep low profile, because body snatchers are considered the worst kind of aberration and if he would be revealed as one immortals and wizards would be queueing to kill him. (Also, it explains WHY are body snatchers considered the worst kind of aberrations.) (Also, ruling world is overrated. Too much work, too much publicity, everyone is blaming you for any problem even if you didn't caused them ... not sure why would anyone want to do that. Although you can avoid some of that if you are not official ruler.)

She would have been old enough to watch Voyager when it was airing in prime time. Voyager run prime time 1995-2001. First contact was in 1996. Susan is 18. Assuming it's 2014, Voyager started before she was born and she MIGHT be old enough to see the LAST season in prime time and remember it. Starting to watch something on last season seems like VERY bad idea. Although it IS possible she saw one episode and it made her convince her mum to buy all Star Trek DVDs, I wouldn't consider it likely, especially with Voyager. (It would be different if she saw Once Upon a Time when like four - that MIGHT be something to turn child, and if Mom bought incorrect Star Trek next ...) Of course it will be different if the year would actually be 2003. In fact, I would argue that when the Red Alert ST:TNG comics was going out in 2004, Dan still wrote the comics as if it would be 2002 and Susan being Star Trek fan would make more sense like that.

I don't think it's meant to be closed in front. I have some like that, some of them only meet at one point, some don't close at all. I 've heard them called bolero jackets. I know. I just had the funny idea how it turns into normal jacket when she gets younger.

Gotta remember Susan is a big Trekkie and owns all the series and movies on DVD. Unless magic is involved, she FIRST saw some Star Trek, THEN became Trekkie. And given her age, whatever she saw which turned her Trekkie was almost certainly re-run. And while she doesn't like them per say, I imagine she does still have the DVDs and does include them in marathons especially if she's showing them to friends for the first time. She probably has the same philosophy as Justin. "Horrible, they may be, but much to talk about, there is"...I'm not sure if there is a more Trek way of saying that though. I'm not sure about showing them but yes she has the DVD. Not only to not take a fairy, but to not have any place she could hide a fairy, if she had any reason to summon one! Yeah any reason. Really surprising.

And Nemesis hardly ever, thank goodness. There are worse movies than Nemesis - like Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Highlander II: The Quickening ... wait, didn't we already talked about this?

Not sure about Contact, but First Contact is repeated in TV quite frequently. She knows that about Grace. Not that this was the time she found out - her lack of surprise proves she already knew at that time. I also think that while she never met full Uryuoms, she knows about them. She though she's android on start of Painted Black, but they probably explained a lot to her during that arc.

I'm not really sure I would want to be 18 again. Being 18 and remembering everything I know now? Don't see any problem, just lot of opportunities. Although, being 18 and having two 8-year old children might raise questions ... There might be better ages to be ... but from those three options (Akiko's age, Nanase's age and Mrs. Kitsune age), 18 sounds best. Ups. Fixed. Possibly. Or he is not sure how to continue. Note that surprisingly, she still can't button that jacket.

Sounds like something Sirleck wouldn't enjoy doing, but considering it will be worth it ... Why does it sort of bother me that you have a detailed plan for doing this? Too much empathy?

That time was not on purpose. Are you sure? Note that those Gemini twins had same mother but different fathers, so I don't think it needs to be taken literary as twins. Edward also has lot of experience with the dangers of lying, as he already explained to Tedd. In this specific situation, lying could easily get Diane killed, so I don't think he would risk it. I think it can't be explained just by her hearing her name ... on the other hand, hearing her name said by HER VOICE .... ... good point. She surprisingly decided to NOT take fairy with her. Since Susan's involved, it should be titled "First Contact". Agree. Those movies appeared around the same time (well ... not so close to each other as I remember ...) and Susan might watched both but only one is StarTrek. Also, we KNOW she saw First Contact explicitly (as if there would be possibility she would miss that).
