The Man

Dec 09, 2008 17:45

This week's webcomic is about, and from the point of view of Arthur.

I'm kind of crying here. Essential Petrelli canon - and, as need be, essential Ritual canon.

I'm kind of crying. It's kind of not right, and kind of the way it's got to be. And kind of beautiful.

you gonna be around tonight? I'll be on AIM for awhile :)

Just now going to dl this comic and see how angry it makes me. *G*

Oh, hey! I didn't hate it! It was kind of awesome, actually.

And, thank god, Nathan looked like he COULD have maybe been the right age in relation to Peter even. I wonder, though, how they managed to inject an early twenties-ish Nathan with the serum without him, y'know, knowing about it. I suppose they must have erased his memory.

I'm going to miss Arthur. :(

God, me too. I already do.

I'm glad you liked the webcomic - I liked it, too, even though I wasn't that into the artwork (though it had a lot of complexity going on in the details; that's good comics writing right there). But oh, man. I can't decide if this Josses me, or if it actually fits in perfectly. Arthur takes boys to Pinehearst; a great buck shows up; Peter can't shoot, but Nathan can. Peter cries all the way home.

Now what I wonder is - was Arthur born with abilities, or did he induce them in himself? And - yes - when did Nathan recieve the serum? And how? And...

Oh, Arthur. Ohhhhh. :( And oh ANGELA. The 'better than God' line was originally hers. I just don't want to think about her saying that, but... I can see it. I can. Like I said, I'm crying.

OH, god, yes. It is pretty perfect. And Nathan saves Peter from needing to take the shot. As he does. *cuddles him* OMG.

Aww, I heart it. Poor Peter, crying over the deer. So him.

And Arthur's weird backhanded love for him... and the family photo montage... *sob*

I swear it's almost too much.

It just makes everything we just learned about the Petrelli's so much more poignant.

And it sure makes my job as a fic writer both easier and harder! :D It doesn't quite Joss "Ritual", but I'll have to retcon like crazy if I want to keep up with canon.

I mean, hell - shooting a deer - or worse, failing to - is not something Peter could ever forget. Oh, damn this show.
