[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page!
My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est:Lilith is absorbing the magical energy stored in the Tear of Gaia as her soul is reunited with her body. I love the way Powree drew Lilith in the first two panels. The drawing of her in the second panel is one of the best in the whole comic. Powree sometimes provided sound effects like the “ZAPPPP” in the first panel only in black-and-white. I then often spent some time to give them fitting colors and blend them with the background artwork.

A flying tower, a maybe-nuclear reactor of some sort, an unknown amount of elves and imps, and the presumed new water coolers that Eldor put on every floor. And who knows what else. Eldor wasn’t a very “all your eggs in one basket” sort of character, but everything he was doing looped around into it suddenly being about a flying tower, an example of all your eggs in one basket.
It goes from “Lillith is the only person who can break a Time Suspension Shield”,(Monster 58) to “oh, we had a thing to do that all along”, to “Lilith is the only person who can break the tower that would break the TSS, just because someone might want to stop Eldor.” At this point the tear of Gaia is destroyed, so what would have been the harm in letting the tower complete it’s purpose of opening the TSS? Though it was probably all a fake report from Eldor, The way back Home 22, says Lillith could cast a spell able to destroy an area the size of Askaroth, which is listed as a country. Blowing up the Tower might not be a large enough explosion, but it’s sure larger than any normal fireball spell!
@ Vicious Sand:
The big spell is about ten pages away.
@ Vicious Sand:
Blowing up the Tower was never a Plan or Goal. It Just happend die too the amout of Energy being released by merging Liliths Soul Back together with her body. It’s a side effect.
The contrast between Lilith’s expression here getting her soul back, versus her back when she had her soul removed is striking.
The sheer intensity of the energy and visuals of this page are very impressive. Very well conveyed!
@ Vicious Sand:
It was a very well-defended flying tower. Not twenty pages ago it one-shot a whole army including at least a half-dozen dragons.
Also, again, Lilith’s soul was necessary for the Tower to operate. Lilith, understandably, wanted it back instead.
