>>154366913That's the end of Issue 61. And of Cedric, the first villain of the W.I.T.C.H. series.
>Comic Cedric is redeemed by love but dies>Cartoon Cedric has evil GF and both surviveShould've found himself a Miranda.Miranda and Orube do look a bit alike, Miranda just looks younger

>>154367743Ludmoore almost certainly has to be a descendant of one of Escanor's knights, if not from cadet branch of the Escanor line itself.
>>154367812Ludmoore seems very happy to see Matt.

>>154367909
>>154367918
>>154367930
>>154367933I mentioned this during the last storytime:I thought this particular bit in the comics either inspired the Z is for Zenith transformations in the cartoon, or the cartoon inspired this.But it seems to be genuine coincidence.This comic came out May 2006 and the cartoon episode in december 2006.With the production schedules the two went by it is almost entirely unlikely either knew about the other while making them.
>>154367961Though it is possible Artibani was still in contact with the comic crew, and he was the consultant for the show, so perhaps not coincidence.
>>154367969
>>154367973

>>154368184And that's the end of Issue 62. We'll close out the arc with Issue 63 in a while.
>>154365965ENTER this Victorian goth
>>154366137This is my first time seeing Phobos with a murmurer fuckslave.
>>154366341>I really like this artist's Hay Lin.I do too and also the girls in general. >>154366269 last panel is genuinely stunning.
>>154368016>one last wordthe original Italian had "un ultima parole", because the one word was "fine". Another English translation had "two last words" to match "The End". "One letter each, then" makes less sense in English, but in Italian it's followed by "and an exclamation point" better fitting the number of Witches.
>>154368207Might be a few hours.
>>154368152When she came in initially I remember people really hating her as she was combative and antagonistic to the girls. But credit to the crew they really managed to evolve her into a beloved character. And like most side characters I think they drop the ball when they just let them fade out of the story not to be mentioned ever again.
>>154366500Every time I see a woman snatched by a flying dino I have Jurassic World flashbacks
>>154368538Back when the comic was ending, there was a poll about about who should be the returning character for a role in the final arc. Elyon was comfortably leading, with Orube still in an impressive second, but then a bunch of Orube fans actually made fraudulent votes and sent her into the lead.Elyon was declared the winner regardless, but it is to this day unclear if the comic crew actually knew the poll had been hijacked or just claimed as much since Elyon had been such a certain winner in their minds that they had already planned around her and the poll was little more than an advertisement.
>>154366822>>154366837Starcrossed love strikes again...
>>154366925EXIT to a real one.
>>154368583I think those polls are just a meme. They don't wanna end up with a scenario where the audience dictates the story
>>154367679that "water" is too viscous...nasty
>>154367909>...Ludmoore likes Matt a bit too much.First living being to enter his domain in decades. I can understand.

>>154370676Damn
>>154370757>feeds herlol yes he knows Irma well.
>>154371297Thanks anon. These threads have been great to follow
>>154371297Thank you for posting.
>>154370743Is Lilian like 10 if so, then why she looks five?>>154370848Why Irma's boyfriend reminds me the show Chaotic for some reason.
>>154371297Can someone please explain how Taranee was terrible during the dance arc?
>>154372367like how they came to decide that Taranee should be the one girl to be the terrible girlfriend or how she specifically was a terrible girlfriend?Because I don't know why they decided this. Taranee & Nigel had the best romantic storyline in my opinion so I don't know what spurned them to write the end of their relationship like it. It seemed ooc for Taranee to me as a reader. I look at Irma or Cornelia as the more self centered characters
>>154372319Lilian is supposed to be about 7-8, same as Cristopher Lair. The comic has a tendency to make her extremely undersized, even compared to Chris(who sometimes is as small but usually a little bit more correct in size).The age gap between Hay Lin and Peter is about as big as the one between Hay Lin and and Lilian(4 vs 4-5 years)

Would your teenage self-had the chance to either befriend them let alone romance them?
>>154373468>Seno, cresce o non cresce?>Breasts, grow or don't grow?
>>154373629Nah I was too nerdy and awkward. I might have hung out with Martin. I was more introverted so I'd probably be slightly put off by how forward he is while also being jelly at how easy it is for him to speak with others.
>>154373688Pretty sure Hay Lin would try to befriend you.
>>154373750Thanks, that's nice of you to say anon
