I really love the subtle redesigns of Molly and Schmen’s costumes. Schmen’ looks a little more elegant, but still tattered. I like the cut of Molly’s skirt and the purple sash. “But it’s all right. I forgive you.”
“She didn’t come for you. Unicorns are not to be forgiven. And we are on a quest.” The Last Unicorn” comic issue #3 Poor Schmendrick. You can’t talk to her that way! She’s a Unicorn! I’m a Magician! We are on a QUEST! We do not have time for normal non-magical folk and their silly concerns! We are doing IMPORTANT THINGS! And Molly, completely unfazed, ignores his antics and is just, “I’m coming.” There’s no room for argument. You never had a chance against Molly Grue, Schmen’. “Well, you’re going the wrong way.” Every single time that she one-ups him, his reactions are gold. It starts here with frustration and exasperation and slowly becomes dependence and trust, and later something more.

“Then why do the leaves never fall here? Or the snow? Why is it always spring here? I tell you there is one unicorn left in the world, and as long as it lives in this forest we’ll find no game to hunt here. […] Stay where you are, poor beast! This is no world for you. Stay in your forest and keep your trees green and your friends protected. And good luck to you, for you are the last. ”

I will tell you a story,” Schmendrick said. “As a child I was apprenticed to the mightiest magician of all, the great Nikos, whom I have spoken of before. But even Nikos, who could turn cats into cattle, snowflakes into snowdrops, and unicorns into men, could not change me into so much as a carnival cardsharp. A last he said to me, ‘My son, your ineptitude is so vast, your incompetence so profound, that I am certain you are inhabited by greater power than I have ever known. Unfortunately, it seems to work backwards at the moment, and even I can find no way to set it right. It must be that you are meant to find your own way to reach your power in time; but frankly, you should live so long as that will take you. Therefore I grant it that you shall not age from this day forth, but will travel the world round and round, eternally inefficient, until at last you come to yourself and know what you are. Don’t thank me. I tremble at your doom."

The Last Unicorn #4 Preview

“The story goes that a witch built it for him, and he wouldn’t pay her. So she swore that one day it would sink into the sea with Haggard, when his greed caused the sea to overflow. Haggard moved in right away. He said no tyrant’s castle was complete without a curse.”

“Kind of rickety, if you ask me.”

Dear comic-verse Molly. Keep being awesome.

Molly Grue is not impressed by your rickety castle, Haggard.

I loved that this comic stayed so close to the novel.

“Where you’re going now,” Schmendrick answered, “few will mean you anything but evil, and a friendly heart —however foolish— may be as welcome as water one day. Take me with you, for laughs, for luck, for the unknown. Take me with you.”

The rain faded as he spoke, the sky began to clear, and the wet grass glowed like the inside of a seashell. The unicorn looked away, searching through a fog of kings for one king, and through a snowy glitter of castles and palaces for one built on the shoulders of a bull. “No one has ever traveled with me,” she said, “but then no one ever caged me before, or took me for a white mare, or disguised me as myself. Many things seem determined to happen to me for the first time, and your company will surely not be the strangest of them, nor the last. So you may come with me if you like, though I wish you had asked me for some other reward.”
