Ser Pentrose

Preferably fair and impartial reviewers.

I think those would be rather small revelations. I mean, big for Tedd and Nanase, but the revelations Pandora talked about (through Dex) were likely something less personal.
There is question how many people are markable, meaning have some talent (those are supposed to be rare) or sufficiently strong desire. I think this is the only thing keeping her from marking EVERYONE.
I'm pretty sure that if you disenchant the spell which makes vampire vampire, they won't turn into human. They DIE. And that's exactly what they deserve. Surrendering is overhyped.
(Imagined Pandora in her Chaos form, with several dozens of limbs, juggling hundreds of balls, as well as several chairs, chainsaws and various other items, throwing them hundred meters to air.)
 

maly, you can have your strings back when you clean your room, and no stuffing everything into a black hole under your bed this time!
 

I assume that the shrapnel hit you in the knee?

"So there I was, exploring the wastes when I came upon a radroach nest. I tried to be extra quiet to not disturb them as I passed by, but stepping on a bloodbug corpse ruined that plan, that's when the Deathclaw appeared. the Deathclaw took one swipe and knocked the shotgun that I had just modded to fire explosive rounds, right out of my hands and into the radroach nest. I managed to finish off the Deathclaw by kiting it around with my rifle, but by the time I got back to retrieve the shotgun, the largest of the radroached was just finishing swallowing the thing whole. When it burped, it fired off a round that exploded nearby causing shrapnel to hit me in the leg, there was no way I was going to get that gun back, my scavenging days were over because of that radroach."
You know what's funny, I'm currently watching someone play FO4 and they just came upon a room (not in the vault) that had a number of radroaches, one of which was Legendary, it dropped a Quickdraw Submachine Gun though but I wouldn't be surprised if this was the area that Grace got the shotgun.

That's so un-Uryouom.
Transform the entire star into a mutant goat that eats the planet...

Well, all the aberrations we've seen were wearing clothes that fit them reasonably well. Spidey's had some serious custom tailoring (which he may have done himself, but then he'd still have to acquire fabric, thread, buttons, and preferably a sewing machine and a reasonably-secure work space). They may prefer to not live outside in the rain and cold. They may need to eat ordinary food to maintain their bodies, more often than would be satisfied by their need to drain victims of life-force. Most probably need to travel every so often to avoid attracting too much attention. They may have ambitions beyond living a really long time - Sirleck for example.
Money would be useful.
However, if I were an aberration and learned that someone was trying to draw a lot of aberrations to Moperville, I'd be careful to stay well away from that city. Preferably on another continent. Because the expected consequence of a concentration of aberrations is a concentrated aberration-hunt. 

Surprisingly, I haven't heard about single device you would insert cow and flour in and it will produce hamburgers and shoes. Apparently, automation didn't get that far yet.

That's what I'm expecting.  Laser scan your feet, then 3D print a pair of shoes custom made, complete with adjustments for any medical/orthopedic issues.
Could be five years, could be twenty, but it should be within my lifetime. :-)

I just had a thought regarding this comic. What if Pandora wasn't the one controlling Dex? What if it was Voltaire? I know the urn symbol on the pendant hints towards Pandora with the old roots of the Pandora's Box myth, but I'm not sure we've had a definitive yea or nea if that is what the symbol means.
Meanwhile, Dex was mentioning 'for the greater good.' Pandora doesn't really seem like the type to care about the greater good. She cares about her son and things being interesting. I imagine she could use 'for the greater good' as means to manipulate someone into doing something interesting, but what we've seen of her direct action, she prefers to nudge things into motion and then let them develop organically (much more interesting that way).
Voltaire, on the other hand, is certainly willing to use 'for the greater good' to advance his agenda as seen in this comic. I don't know what he would have gained from killing everyone at the dojo, but little is known about Volty's plans or end goal.

Bah, she harmless. There's nothing odd with her being that nice it's just how she was programmed.
 
What? we're overdue for a "secret robot" subplot.

I have just spent the past week looking into the development of gunpowder and this was the exact mental image I didn't need. Thanks, Critter. I now have new meanings for 'blow job' and 'banging hot' I easily could have done without. 

I see it more like euthanasia -- they're too sick to live, and should be put down as swiftly as possible for the good of all.

Or there is also Pratchett's Theory of L-Space.
Knowledge equals power. Power equals energy. Energy equals matter. Matter equals mass.
This means that a well stocked library will actually distort time and space around it, i.e. a good library is really a rather genteel black hole that knows how to read.

Some topics combine the two, like people who use physics (and very large, very expensive equipment) to try to collect that one last rare particle that they think will complete their collection....

And I was trying to point out that BEFORE they had the technology, such an expansion would simply not be practical.
Examples: It was not actually Cristopher Columbus who 'discovered' the New World. It is known for certain that a Viking expedition made it to the Americas but that its attempt at colonisation failed due to attrition and logistics. It is also believed (and has been proven possible) that an Irish monk named Brendan went to America 500 years before that. But in both cases, sea travel remained too dangerous and impractical for a firm logistical line to be established, and so colonisation remained impossible.
It is not a question of 'waiting for the right technology.' It is more along the lines of heavier-than-air flight not really being widely undertaken until around the time of the Wright brothers. Greedy, expansionist rulers existed LONG before colonisation became technologically practical. Once the technology was there, it was really only a matter of time before the kings and rulers of Europe would figure out that there was LOOT out there -- and sent people to go get it for them.
Why 1492 specifically? It required two conditions. One, a man with the vision and technology to go out and look for loot. Two, financial backing from wealthy expansionist nobles -- and it turned out that Spain had the resources to spare, having just finished the Reconquista and having cleaned house inside her own borders (robbing and expelling all the Muslims and Jews). And so Cristoforo Colombo managed to cross the Atlantic and discover new lands to loot, plunder, subjugate and exploit.
An interesting little fact: A lot of people back then already knew or suspected that the Earth was round. They thought Columbus was an idiot, not because it would be impossible to reach India through circumnavigation of the Earth but because they had done the math and worked out that it would be a LONGER way to sail to India from Spain if you went west, not shorter. They were right, but Columbus happened to bump into another continent on the way and so his idea ended up making a profit anyway.

Say, I know I am about two weeks late, but if I may refocus the discussion on the page initially under discussion again: I hate that this page doesn't show the title of Elliot's book. Looks rather blank, based on panel 2. This may, of course, be a mistake by Dan, but it creates more doubt that the totally normal book really is Elliot's spellbook. (Maybe it really is a totally normal book?)
And, to weigh in on the whole gender discussion; I feel like this page further confirms that Elliot could be agender or gender-neutral in some form, which I have been suggesting since back when this page came out. I am happy ^_^
If Elliot got a new power, may it be "turning other people into men"? That would be amusing, knowing Ashley's comment on this page. It would be the cutest non-binary relationship :3

Voltaire is Pandora's Ex
They were not able to have a chld.  But Pandora had a son with a mortal and that kid gets all her attention.
Volty is setting up machinations to humiliate, hurt, or kill Pandora, Adrian, and/or anyone close to them.  All out of petty jealousy.
Jerry did warn Susan, Nanase, and Grace about the hissy fits that can erupt when two immortals who chose the same name show up at the same place.  A jealous rage where any number of noncombatants may be injured or killed would not seem out of character.

Highly appropriate for today.
 

Time travelers do a lot of voluntary policing of each other, and it also turns out that reality is somewhat self-correcting.
Example of both

You know I did not think it possible to like him less than I already had yet somehow I do now.
BTW, having dealt with a good deal of chicken ordure lately, it's slightly more pleasant than him.

Because I think he is a piece of chicken ordure.

I'm guessing someone similar to Elliot or Ellen behind the beard.
The bartender needs a source of hair.
The hair will be discovered in the dark British ale and we will then be reading
HAIRY PORTER AND THE WRITER'S  BLOCK.

I use to find it easier to just wait till they would start clearing out the new releases, and buy their 2nd hand copies rather then rent and risk a late fee. It was often cheaper if I did not get a rental back in time as well. I miss rental places because I enjoy the extra extra features like deleted scenes you do not really get through streaming services. There is still a rental store in the town I live in now, but I am in a remote location where the internet is expensive and limited (the highest plan in town I know of is 50GB / month and over $100) so many people have not bothered switching to netflix.
