This is a good page. As the great comic artist Bill Watterson would say: You have escaped the tyranny of square panels. The page starts out more or less in a standard format but then the panels take on a more jaunted, angular order, broken up by the white and black sigils that make up the border. The borders are one of my favorite aspects of the whole comic. They really set up the whole comic's distinctive vision. The slanted borders in the bottom three are my favorite. Another reason this is a good page is that its one of the first real good looks we get of Edwina and Cassandra, if to a lesser degree. The darkness is a major factor of this comic but it is good to have a break from the darker shades and see the characters in more light. I really love how Edwina is designed, such a unique character in both body design and outfit choice. The eyes are a particular favorite of mine. The backgrounds could use a little more work but there is enough here to get across where the characters are.
