Ouch, putting your sorrows in a stone dragon never helps anyone. It's what Robin Hobb taught me.

Also: Heh. Goat-invasion.

wow...this was batshit insane.... AND poigniant (sp?) damn... this was really good. i actually have no words.... at least Betsy can still love... right?

That's one thing I really like about this series--this isn't taking the easy, "extreme" route with it's premise. They kill their enemies because they believe it's necessary, but they still feel pain and remorse from their decisions. It makes the threats they fight feel that much more powerful and effective.

Man, that first art swings back and forth between pretty good and pretty not. Really digging the second art, though.

Ooooooh that comment about Brian making Betsy do it sent shivers down my whole body.

I'd seen some of these scans before, but "Braddock brothers, together to the end" drove it home. My soul hurts.

I MAGICALLY CAN'T FEEL NOW THUS DEFLECTING ANY BLAME FROM ME TEEHEE

YOUR SO MEAN WHY DID YOU MAKE ME MAKE YOU BREAK YOUR OWN BROTHERS NECK ON SHORT NOTICE

and if it's that kind of time paradoxcouldn't they break the timeline:
by informing Jaime of what he would eventually do
preventing him from ever doing it
preventing the event from ever occuring
preventing -this- from ever occuring

come to think of it wouldn't killing Jaime prevent the need for killed jaime thus preventing the killing of jaime?

Terrible Art. Terrible Writing.

Remember when we said X-Force was going to b a big fail and called it Stabbity Force and now it's one of the best books Marvel has?

Just reminding everyone that not all new changes that come around in comics will be bad. Fans just hate change.

If she didn't feel any grief then there's no reason to rub Brian's nose in it. Even the other emotions she'd feel in this situation, like anger at Brian refusing to do it, would be based out of sorrow that she had to kill Jamie.

So if she can't feel that then there's nothing to trigger those other emotions
