so um. so uhhh this is what i imagine their first fight to be likeee twirls hair cutely

needed to come back to magma and this was the perfect way to do it honestly

basically the jax/pomni situation but a THOUSAND times more violent. no seriously i have a feeling either amanda tried to kill wooly right there or they tried to kill each other it depends on what actually happened. but come on it must’ve been the worst fucking thing ever for amanda to want to kill him even after all that time so of COURSE she would be outraged in that moment

some things here. i headcanon their teeth got sharper as their relationship deteriorated and they get extremely sharp when they’re feeling strong negative emotions and fighting. no but actually srs like amanda must’ve been so upset, so betrayed, so heartbroken she would’ve just attacked him as hard as she could, just punching and kicking and biting him until she got tired

the line “i feel like there’s nothing left in me” indicates she’s spent so much time crying, grieving and letting her emotions out she physically can’t bring herself to do it anymore and that indicates she’s done worse things to wooly

references DUHHH

how do we like my inconsistent ahh art style guysss if i can figure out how to make magma comics im fuckin set

The Pedestrian

Every so often when reading comic books you encounter something weird. This is no surprise as COMICS! ARE! WEIRD! is a whole thing in the medium, but you get different kinds of weird. In this case, this book feels like salt: sodium and chlorine are both quite deadly to humans, and mixing them together produces a nice little food addition that makes your food taste better.

The Pedestrian is about a guy in a skintight suit going around a small town and helping people with problems, from helping someone parallel park to preventing a mugging to fighting off an eldritch abomination that seeks to control the residents of this town by mind control, wearing the symbol of the red hand to prevent anyone from crossing him.

Yeah.

But for all the story has a strange setup it's grounded. The supernatural elements aren't clearly defined (and fuck me if I know what any of it meant!) so we rely more on the characters' ruminations that should relay the themes to get an idea. Me, I see a lot focused on "the little evils", small problems that people can fix if they only step in for a few minutes and help.

To me, the Pedestrian represents the little rules and laws that keep society ticking: cross here, stop at red, slow down at this turn, proceed with caution, these are things we've agreed to do as a sign of respect to one another. And it's when those little laws and agreements are threatened that things can spiral out of control.

I've never read anything quite like The Pedestrian. For the sake of uniqueness alone I think you should give it a read.
