Turns out that they really aren't dead. Maybe the army should fall back?

Well, the Sisters weren't elves before, but apparently they are now...

Hmm their clothes look Kryptonian to me.
And yeah, rejoice for once again very bad things are about to happen to the Legion (poor bastards)
Also I like the bald guy, he's funny, I hope he doesn't get killed horribly (though I now he will)

First time I was up this late(early) and no Richardy Action. Oh well, we need story line too...

Honestly this is rather dissapointing. I was expecting some sort of giant golden thingymawhatzit of pure epicsauce. All the fusion seemes to have done is make them glow, remove a good amount of clothing and make them seem kinda purish. Wierd. Well. I hope they now have tha bility to shoot beams of death from their eyes.

yes they were, they just had hoods on...check the earlier pages
Apart from the stylo red and gold clothing, ... I dont see any big difference

Ow btw, there's still firespitting dragons floating around... Legara doesn't seem to be at such a big disadvantage
And yes, the bald guy is funny

P.S.: who tought that the glowing yellow bulb from last thursday was actually a new temple?

Actually, if you'll check the pages where they attacked the Bloodrage and lost, you'll see they're clearly not elves at that time. No pointy ears, no blue skin. Very human looking.

Someone did think it was just the mountain collapsing away revealing the actual temple underneath.

He gets +1 experieince points.

edit: The elfiification is probebly a part of the fusion. Not like it did much else

Woo! Time for a battle scene! At least, I hope so.

It's hard to say how human any of the Sisters looked before, what with how covered they were. If you can't see their ears, then you don't get to say they weren't pointy before.

Besides, I've heard a theory or two about why their skin looked a tad pinkish before, though I can't for the life of me remember what they were.

It does seem that the sisters were only half themselves before. the "fusion" may have renewed their original appearance. I had always wondered why the Matron was a different look than the rest of the sisters who yes indeed were all bald and whitish.

It might have been a purity thing =/

either way, awesome sauce still is had! I was right about the temple emerging as several others.

I like how an entire army is pouring out of the temple and i love the expression on the captain's face xD

~ sigh ~

This page.

Oh, well...

Yeah, I'm gonna go with saying SohLar didn't always expect them to be the same race as Tah'Vraay.

Something in that post, coupled with the earlier theories that the "fusion" was a Mass wedding/Orgy, I just got the idea that the sisters are now blue, not because of some magic, but because they are coated in the Brothers' blue sperm. I know that's probably sick and wrong, but I felt it worth mentioning.

Well, it looks like Cale now has some competition in the "gender vague" category.

Ok im starting on some theories here...

1. the sisters who joined were human and the fusion changed them into dark elves
2. the sisters were always dark elves and as an act of purity and safety became human
3. the women emerging from the temple were locked away in the temple itself and the "fusion" was needed to release them and many of the sisters are still human and inside the temple.

I think 3 may be more likely as Tah'vraay did mention "welcome to your new prison"
perhaps that is what she meant?

Nah, I think "Welcome to your new prison" was a statement of her dislike for the sisterhood, as she's clearly shown to be less than fond of the Matron and her "daughters"

All of these are pretty viable except the second one in my opinion.

There is also the possibility rhat the sisters are made up of a mix of races....

I still say my Blue Sperm idea is the most plausible

While i am thoroughly dissapointed in the lack of Cale and Benny conclusiveness, I do loves me a good Legion thwomping and i do believe that's what we may get

Also i'm glad i called the whole just a temple thing and didn't set myself up for disappointment at the possibility of magical ownage device.

Edit: also in accordance with the whole sisters looking different.... i think that's just what they were meant to look like

Though the blue sperm one seems the most out of context of the plot lol

I thought the golden things was a giant egg when I first saw it, but figured that would just be silly. Good call on the temple.

Also, just to apologize, I'm sorry for my rapid-fire posting, I'm very talkative and can tend to get this way when I'm trying to avoid going to sleep.

As long as the post is relevant and not repetitive then there is no problem with a lot of posting.

First response upon seeing today's page: That's one hell of a dead bird. I like that bald guy, thats what I would have wanted to say, plus his sense of humor/what he said reminds me of Rayne from LICD, which really shouldn't be surprising given that the same two people work on both comics.

Second response: Why the hell did no one go super saiyan? I'm a tad disappointed.

Third: this one's for the debate about the daughters, while yes they clearly seem to be bald yellow-eyed human chicks in previous strips, what's to say that they didn't have some sort of illusion spell cast on them until they fused with the brothers?


Also, what happened to all of the brother's plate armor?

Good question on the armor XDDD

I dont think they had an illusion on them cause they were dead in the past strips and still held their human appearance.
Perhaps the fusion did something to awaken their dark elf blood or they are completely different persons. =/

Well, the way I figures it, the illusion wasn't something that they each cast on themselves individually, but rather something that was cast on them by some one else and the spell/curse or maybe even enchantment was kept on them even after they died.
Maybe the enchantment/spell was supposed to protect the secret of their dark elf heritage or something.

Also, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who is confused by the disappearance of the plate armor.

Maybe they really did sex eacother up and just produce babies really really really quickly and their babies are born as full grown adults... it could happen.

Im guessing that somehow both the sisters and the brothers are connected
So when the brothers were taken away, the sisters used some sort of preservation spell
Now that the 2 are together a fusion has taken place to make them one race

Could also be why all the sisters look like clones

I think the brothers and sisters are bonded Dark Crystal style, and these are their 'real' form. Except in duos instead of vague pulsating tall white things.

The sisters were totally the Skeksis.

Lol

rational theories 1, insain theorys a billion

Baldy gets smart-ass points. Me likey.



/facepalm
What has been read cannot be unread. Now I'm gonna be "HmMm"-ing for a week!

Interesting idea though.

If the human appearances were magical, we would have seen in that strip with Tah'Vraay. My guess is that the human bodies are just proxies for the Dark Elves/Drow\Whatever to use until they're physically summoned back to that world.

Maybe they are wearing their halloween costumes from last year? IT would make sence with it coming up and all.

Well, Legara was built by Vulii decendants, and when Cale went back in time to Gamlon, it was stated that it was the only elven nation left who oposed them. Now, I know that sisters are suposed to be an organization, but I believe that the same principles still aply, so given that it was stated that the sons were exiled, could it not be possible that the sons wanted to fight, but sisters concluded it would only lead to the slaughter of their kind, so they did some mumbo-jumbo to separate themselves from their errant menfolk, which turned them humanlike. It sounds plausible that they found their new forms shaming, so they started vearing clothes that covered them up more or less completely. Now that the separation is finally over, they are all back to their originals.

I believe the term the good captain's aide-de-camp is looking for is "Oh, snap!"

<WoW troll accent>Dem Legarans, dey be fucked, mon.</WoW troll accent>

Except the sisters wasn't dead, it was an illusion to make the legara army think they was almost defeated.
shown here

Does this mean that Cale and Benny wil turn blue, too? j/k.

We know the previous state was an illusion. What if this is an illusion, as well? Perhaps an illusion, based on trith, but still...

Interesting...
Is this the remnants of the last elven nation going to war then?

I wonder how old the Matron really is...
Page 287 implies that the Matron was the one to send the Sons into exile (which was a long time ago, but how long?).
That appears to have been to hide them, completely, while the Sisters (shouldn't it be Daughters?) hid in a more visible way, either via body modification or an externally applied illusion that holds even if the person die.
(And in page 148 you can see dead sisters that are not an illusion to fool the Legion.)

Apparently the Matron thought that splitting her people and hiding them was the only way to ensure their survival. The growing realm of Legara or what was to become Legara was a threat to them it seems, or was more nations than that a threat? Too little information... *grumblegrumble*
One wonders how they made more in the meantime though... Artificial wombs using preserved sperm and ovaries respectively? Oh well.

It doesn't seem to the them that are glowing as much as the light and reflections from the temple.
Both genders have cleaned up and put on some fancier clothing though. Btw, the sons "plate armour" seems to have been clothes, except for the shields. Perhaps reinforced silk, it's frequently been used as cheap/light armour historically.

Anyway, I think the fusion is more than just a slight change in appearance. Exactly what it entails we'll probably see later on.
And, Tah'vraay is a 'failed' Sister? I wonder if that was by choice, or if her weak grasp of magic (which is what her one pink eye seems to imply, instead of both being yellow/orange) forced the different role upon her.
Still, she's been useful as a free-roaming agent and go-between I imagine.

Heh, and the bald aide de camp reminds me of Haskill.


And a sick, twisted part of me imagined the elves marching out of the temple singing:
I love you, you love me, we're a happy family.
*and switch*
We're off to kill Legara, the horrible legion will die!
(to the tune of 'We're off to see the Wizard')

Not read through all the posts sorry but why have most people got the impression that the sisters have changed?

Why would they go from being kick ass mages that can summon giants and banish RICHARD! to the plane of suck to become foot soldiers?

I think that they're just another type of sister than the ones coming out of the palace, as was shown most of the mages were dead keeping up the shield

as you can see the sisters still retain their mage like aura (with light clothing and wielding no weapons). the brothers seem to be the one in foot soldier form.

I don't think there's another type of sister. and the mages were not dead from keeping up the shield. it was an illusion to delay Legara's full assault on the temple.

male elf: /looks around... "hey... i want cool yellow glowy eyes like the girls! this is so unfair!" /pout

and yes, you'd think that the fusion would have at least given them freakin' laser beams on their heads or something...

I don't know.. I kind of like the fusion effect. though I expected some "archon type energy ball with a celestial being inside burning away in a flurry of white fire that can throw shockwaves around."

Still, don't the brothers and sisters (should we call them siblings??) look majestic?

Aw, I haven't seen that film in ages. What were the little hobbit-things called? Gelflings?

I wonder where they got all those new clothes... Were they keeping them in some secret closet with a note saying: "in case of fusion into blue form break glass"? Or those "daughters" really aren't the sisters we saw earlier and the fusion was some kind of summoning ritual.

And yeah, no dark archons...

Hey there, long time lurker, first time poster. Had to refrain from jumping into the swarm of first posters from the last couple of "omg" pages. Anywho...

Anyone else notice the lack of the floating blue yoda-ish members of the Sons/Brothers/whatever-we're-calling-them?

Maybe that's what the fusion was. They took all of the short ones and threw them into some giant magical blender of some sort with the sisters/daughters/whatever-they're-being-called, and out came the bald blue elven females.

Not sure how the clothes worked out. I doubt you can make clothes with a blender.

Also, was I the only one to have the song "I'm Blue" pop into their head while reading this page?

The way I see it the fusion combined the Sons and the Sisters and then seperated them out again, this time with the differences between them much smaller.

Cue Starcraft Archon voice: "The Merging is complete" ...
...Not quite the way I was imagining.

In response to the missing armor question, maybe they removed their armor to keep up with the unarmored sisters. That weight would get in the way of a long march, and they probably want to kill those troops and escape before more arrive.

On a different note, the next frame should be the commander with his fist in the aide's face.

On a further different note:
"Remember how I told you this was a safe place to guard?"
"...Yeah?"
"...I lied."

Yeah perhaps. Similar to how the Guardians of the Universe were later reborn as both males and females instead of just males.

devin is right...

judging from the pictures and from how the ears of the sister changed to elven from human ears, but what if they was elven all along..

remember, the pirate captain she is one of them just not with out there magic, her appearance would suggest this fusion was to bring them back as there true formed race, that is extremely powerful since the sisters worshiped the light and the sons were mages and melee fighters

and the son were exiled all them was put in "prison" what if the sons and the sisters did this to themselves so they wouldn't be killed by the the vyaul{sp} i cant remember the race the legion descended from you know the evil race that cale wants to kill so bad.

what if they did this to make there race appear "weak"?
