>>152812719Martin my boy, take the L.
>>152812770
>>152812781
>>152812761Martin is a chad
>>152812795Guess I underestimated him.
>>152812792
>>152812811
>>152812822Some quick thinking from Hay Lin.
>>152812836
>>152812856Neat use of Will's powers here.
>>152812875Elyon's been cramming. Last issue she wasn't this strong.
>>152812891Elyon seems to like that tail.
>>152812913
>>152812891That's actually a funny joke
>>152812932
>>152812946
>>152812959>Absolute Power!
>>152812980
>>152812987
>>152813001
>>152813013Careful what you wish for, Uriah.
>>152813028
>>152813037
>>152812987>>152813001>>152813037I remember reading this specific issue when I was a kid and my mind being fucking blown. I thought it was so cool
>>152813049
>>152813090
>>152813098Will too heavy for the roof to support.
>>152813117
>>152813143

>>152813179
>>152813191It's Irma's dad!
>>152813211
>>152813232
>>152813239I really did like the way they portray Phobos early on as this fearsome recluse.Too bad his trait of not showing himself to anyone unworthy will be completely tossed out later.Supposedly the original text here doesn't sya vain, but rather that he wished not to talk to anyone but himself.The murmurers seem to be somewhere inbetween an extension of himself and their own thing, so they are an exception.
>>152813295
>>152813315
>>152813326Old man.
>>152813356
>>152813371
>>152813395This is Uriah's parents only appearance until Arc 6, and they don't look the same in that one, so I guess even the people making the comic forgot this one appearance
>>152813453
>>152813459
>>152813477Cedric, chill.

>>152812511This comic is highly satanic because it has WITCHES
>>152813674Phobos in person!
>>152813708
>>152813735
>>152813751
>>152813766
>>152813779
>>152813790Cute.
>>152812699For Gods sake Irma! Have some pity!
>>152813558This guys design reminds me of the characters from Prince Of Egypt. Very Disney-esque animated style.
>>152813735>>152813751hmmm
>>152813578I expected the school bully to try to expose Witch.
>>152813790What a dick.
>>152813803Collins is in a mood today.
>>152813853
>>152813803oh yeah, Nigel
>>152813866
>>152813885
>>152813893
>>152813904Hmm....
>>152813917
>>152813927Will is particularly moody today.
>>152813933
>>152813942The rebels seem pretty leaderless.

>>152813990Rude.
>>152814007This power is gonna see a lot of use once she properly masters it.
>>152814007I'd destroy her with my penis if you know what I mean heheh.
>>152814013
>>152814027>>152814023Interesting taste.
>>152814037Hmm....
>>152814048
>>152814060Kinda funny how they chose Vera (true) as the name for this character.
>>152814099
>>152814099>>152814112She purposely choose to look like a fusion between Cornelia and Elyon
>>152814112

>>152814147Irma...

>>152814267
>>152814275
>>152814293
>>152814301
>>152814311Interestingly, Irma doesn't mention Elyon not being Cornelia's best friend anymore in the old scanlation(and thus most likely not in the original either) just that she's not Cornelia's true friend but an enemy.
>>152814347
>>152814357
>>152814372
>>152814386Cedric acting here is a bit dumb, but I guess he'd rather act and carry out Phobos command than fail and be punished.
>>152814406
>>152814414
>>152814429Vathek being pretty cool.Too bad that he'll be toned down a lot after this.
>>152814447Meanwhile, Elyon is still in Cedric's corner.
>>152814461
>>152814474
>>152814484I don't think Taranee remembered to photograph it.End of Issue 6.
>>152814447It would've been even cooler if at the end of the story it was revealed that this was all an act and the real plan all along. But this isn't Gargoyles.
Issue 7: One Day You'll Meet HimBoth the Cover and Title Page has:Art by Gianluca PanielloColors by Andrea Cagol.
>>152814625Concept: Francesco Artibani and Paola MulazziScript: Paola MulazziArt: Stefano Turconi(Layout) and Manuela Razzi(Pencils)Inks: Marina Baggio and Roberta ZanottaColor and Light Direction: Barbara CanepaThis is Canepa's final issue, I think.Surprise appearance by Stefano Turconi, who is otherwise mostly credited with doing art for WITCH side stories way later on(Arc 5 onwards until the end). Wouldn't be surprised if he helped out in the background earlier though.Paola Mulazzi jumps on board here too, and will stay until New Power.
>>152814665This issue is when a lot of stuff changes or is introduced, and a lot of it feels executive mandated.
>>152814688
>>152814707Will really wants to be praised...
>>152814718
>>152814688Like what?
>>152814730>>152814750I'll bring things up as they come up.
>>152814765
>>152814781
>>152814797
>>152814730>>152814765>>152814781jealous Will is so cute
>>152814811
>>152814811>>152814823idc what the rest of the anons opinions are. Taranee is an upper Witch girl and her relationship with Nigel is the best in the series.
>>152814823This issue will push the idea that Elyon and Cornelia were besties really hard, when before, Elyon was just a friend of most of them.
>>152814853>>152814843Too bad about how it ends.
>>152814869Time for another new thing.
>>152814881Enter Caleb, Cornelia's dream guy and true love, the only one she wants according to this issue.Meanwhile, an earlier issue was hinting at her and Peter.
>>152814910
>>152814853I think Elyon was a better friend of Cornelia than Hay Lin & Irma by default as they were in the same class. Will just sort of took over that spot.It just doesn't come off that way in the beginning as Elyon is the punching bag of the group (they all sort of make fun of her) and Cornelia is snobbish and honestly kind of a bully, even to her friends.
>>152814929>>152814930Fair.It's just that this could have been brought up a lot earlier if it was planned, rather than being pushed now.
>>152814951
>>152814960
>>152814968Vathek has lost quite a bit of his menacing look.
>>152814975And he's a henchman again.This time to a guy who was not even suggested to exist before.
>>152814988
>CalebThe way that storyline was solved still cracks me up
>>152814910Caleb seems like marketing interference, definitely >"We need some action hero for the romance, can't be all of these girls falling in love with boring high school guys"And then by the cartoon they decide even more focus needs to be put on Caleb.>>152814975is the bone retractable.
>>152814995I know some people in these threads really enjoy villain Elyon, and it is time to say goodbye to her now. Elyon immediately turns from heel to face on this page.
>>152815014
>>152815022I believe this is the first issue to suggest Phobos actually intended to do anything with Elyon beyond making her another servant like Cedric.
>>152815038
>>152815046
>>152815054
>>152815064
>>152815075From skilled and sadistic mage to wimpering maiden.I like good Elyon, just not the way this was handled.

>>152815204
>>152815210
>>152815218
>>152815230I can believe Elyon being intended to be the real heir instead of Phobos was always the idea(her name means Supreme or Most High), but it certainly comes off a bit awkward here.

>>152815418Irma is definitely a bit chubby compared to the rest. Nothing is wrong with Martin, he's just a geek and Irma is superficial
>>152815412Lilian is confused,

Why is Will's life a disaster after another?>>152801523
>>152814951To be fair, this is a honest question. I always found it jarring so far how Elyon seemed 100% on board to be evil for no real apparent reason

>>152816794
>>152816808And that's the end of issue 8. I'll post a few little extras, but that's it for the main issues for now.
>>152816825
>>152816838Cornelia is the only WITCH whose date of birth and age isn't listed, but she has been said to be born on May 10th, and being in Will and Elyon's class she has to be 14.
>>152816860
>>152816760Why is Hay Lin going commando?
>>152816825Why can't Will tell her mom?
>>152817668Will: "Hey mom! I'm secretly a warrior powered by fairy magic from another dimension to stop an evil prince from taking over the word!"Mom: "Aren't you getting a little old to be playing pretend?"
>>152818029I mean Will do a demonstration.
How difficult would it be to date Will or Elyon?
>>152818130Yeah but then her mom might go to the cops, and they'd go to the government, then the news finds out they'd never know a moments peace.
>>152818573What are you basing this on?
Why is Will so lewd, anon?
>>152818525>Will would always be flaky and self deprecating you'd constantly have to help her out. Also she's a massive spaz as well but she'd be easiest of the two. Besides being a flake and being super overreactive>Elyon is implied to be a bit of a creepy girl, type to act normal one second, then ephemeral and out of it another, just staring or talking about macabre or weird stuff like fate. She'd probably kidnap you when she moves to meridan but afterwards she'd probably be the best of the two but before that you are basically dating a chunnibuyoBoth are walking timebombs in own way though
>>152819722Will looks like she'd be constantly complaining about something and turn annoying at times
>>152819511Cause she doesn't have and does not realize how attractive she is.>>152819722What's the chances most of it cause by the divorce?
>>152820381Think that has to do with her low self-esteem, yes. Honestly her mom is so nice idk how she can be so low on herself. Also find it funny elyon comes from a happy home and does all this evil stuff though as she said "they aren't my parents they are my kidnappers".>>152820373I think she's the opposite she'd definitely be super needy both would. They are way to into their guys and low on others/themselves. think will is pretty patient with matt at times just super low self esteem she'd more be type you'd need to give a boost almost daily. "But you didn't say you loved me At worse they are jealous types, will over thinks things and elyon would be slightly yandere esque remember elyon was crushing on cedric but when she saw will kissing matt she instantly went crazy. Saying how she'd never get to do that again. Also think will is pretty patient with matt at times just super low self esteem she'd more be type you'd need to give a boost almost daily. "But you didn't say you loved me yesterday" she says through sobsWhat they should really do is kiss
>>152820652For Will I think seeing her dad being absent and neglecting along with the moving did a number on her as well.What did Elyon even sees in Cedric romantically?
>>152820737>What did Elyon even sees in Cedric romantically?Molestingbut all jokes aside many young girls want older boys and menYep really will's dad did numbers on her indeed, though think her petite figure didn't help. Honestly elyon and will are like 2 sides of the petite awkward girl route. Become a schizo hating everyone femcel, or become a desperate needy self hating femcel. No in between apparently, though think will becomes a bit more confident in later arcsAlso both are pretty snarky which is fun
>>152816807I think it's hinted at that they're starting a new life. But that's for later issues to comment on
>>152820737>What did Elyon even sees in Cedric romanticallyhe was a cool older guy. Elyon has always been interested in older guys >>152801634
>>152815014Chick, you lured them into multiple traps while all they wanted to do was talk/save you.
>>152815075>>152815097Bitch you have magic powers, use them?>>152815165>we can be friends againHUH?
The story seems to be all over the place, and frankly it's not really well written overall. This is at best a 5/10.I'm gonna pick up and read a random PKNA just to cleanse my palate.
>>152815014I'll never recover anons, all jokes aside I remember we last storytiming this part and god it was so shocking I hadn't read in so long I'd forgotten. So sad to see I still love elyon but weird to make her so good and heel turn and not make her the 6th guardian or something. They basically made her good just to barely use her it's kind of a waste maybe disney execs were scared of giving a 14 year old girl a bad ending with the bad guys.
>>152814429>NoOoOoOo! Violence bad!!!Story has been so good so far, why must it do a nosedive here?
>>152821283Fair.Arc 1's story is a proper mess due to executive meddling and change in direction.
Has anybody here read Fairy Oak?
>>152822212It seems really hard to get a hold of a translated version.
>>152822270Ah, I hadn't thought about english translationsI read it in spanish, so I kind of assumed you guys also got one.
>>152822306I know the first book has an English translation, but the book seems unavailable to buy.Not sure if the latter books got English releases.
>>152822317They're a cozy read, and the art is really cute, but you're not really missing out on much. Unless you're like an 11 years old girl.
>>152820381Will is definitely super attractive
>>152820737Not having a proper masculine role model in the house can fuck a girl up mentally just as much as it can mess up a boy.
>>152815075Couldn't she just smite that guard with her magic powers?
>>152823567Don't ask.
Following the storytime now and I think I'm enjoying how forward >>152805126 >>152805150 >>152805441 astral drop Will can be compared to regular Will
I asked in the w.i.t.c.h. /aco/ thread but I didn't get an answer. Which of the girls is the better lay? Who is most skilled in bed? Who is most complicated or annoying to date and why?
>>152815135>Will tries to look like the girl she thinks is Matt's girlfriendTop kek!
>>152812566I want to groom a cute little guardian!
Why is Susan nose big?
>>152812625kek bad luck Will
>>152824066>Best LayHay Lin > Cornelia > Will > Taranee > Irma > Elyon>Most complicated/annoying to dateWill > Elyon > Cornelia > Irma > Hay Lin > Taranee
>>152824946But why? Cornelia seems like she'd be a deadfish in bed.Also Elyon looks like she'd be heavily into bdsm stuff>Most complicated/annoying to date>Will > Elyon > Cornelia > Irma > Hay Lin > TaraneeWhy do you think so, anon?
>>152824995I'll admit I mostly pulled the best lay out of my ass. But Cornelia seems like she could have a freakish side sexually.>Why do you think so, anon?Will & Elyon seem a mixture of depressive and schizo. Cornelia seems high maintenance and wouldn't stop complaining. Irma lacks the ability to take anything seriously. Hay Lin is a bit ditzy but otherwise tolerable. Taranee seems the most calm (might be a lack of self esteem, but nothing we can't work on
>>152825042I love Will btw. Her relationships are some of the best content in the comics. When it's good it's cute and when its bad its pure drama. Taranee's relationship as well, but her trouble mostly seem to stem from external factors that Taranee has no real control over, wheras Will is mostly internal.
>>152825042>>152825066Will makes for good drama but true, she'd be a downer in a relationship
>>152825112idk if she'd be a downer. I think she's pretty cute, but she's too insecure about if you're into her.
>>152813586That's so cool. I kind of wish I could live in that painting
>>152814112Grooming Elyon into evil!
>>152814765Sounds like a pornstar name kek
>>152814853I kind of like that, could even have been sisters
>>152814881>while you wait for your true love, you may as well dateElyon is a huge SLUT!>>152814951Its unfair that girls can chat with each other in their undies and they won't stay like that for men>>152815097Agreed, I prefer sadistic Elyon
>>152815261Feels like the Mother of Dragons scene in asoiaf
>>152825995We all prefer our sadistic elyon, elyon is more of a creepy girl just stares makes even the creeps feel weird>>152825812She groomed herself into evil, also love implication she didn't need to fall to far. She met a guy got told she was a princess then was ready to commit mass murder and kill her friends
>>152816071Making child soldiers is something to wonder
>>152816517>But why?Bet Will moves like a pro!
I wish I could go back to this era
>>152818715I mean that's usually the reason in kids shows the kids don't tell the adults. For example, in Digimon the reason Takato didn't tell his parents about Guilomon is because he feared the government coming to dissect him.
>>152815261Oh now they're just gaslighting the poor girl.
I want to mate with Will!>>152827149Elyon got groomed by everyone around her
Next story time when?>>152827134Well, Guilomon is basically an alien so, but I get your point?
>>152826089>She met a guy got told she was a princess then was ready to commit mass murder and kill her friendsMarry the woman willing to commit genocide by your side~
>>152827296I mean you saw what they did to Eleven in Stranger things.
Sex with Will with the intention to make her feel like a proper woman.
>>152827172>Elyon got groomed by everyoneEveryone, except me
>>152827480This. She deserves love and I want to make Will feel like a real woman and loved using my cock!
>>152827806Pretty sure her mom would stop you.
>>152828243I would love to dick her down too
>>152828365But would she let you and what do you see in her?
Is it weird if I desperately wish I could be a guardian even if I got a cock?
>>152828878They are both fiery women but I like WIll's self hatred
Would Elyon make for a good girlfriend?
>>152827462Elyon's one mistake was not killing the guardians before they filled her heads with lies>>152827172Elyon deserved better specifically to be queen of them all
Why didn't Cedric try manipulating the guardians like he did with Elyon?>>152827172Why is she full of herself?
>>152830667They didn't have enough daddy issues, and he knew will and elyon hated each other be like owning a cat and a dog
