If that's true, then who's Adam?
A figment of Hetty's imagination?I wonder how deep we can take this.Quote:

The real question is, will "Madam, I'm Adam." ever be uttered in this comic? :smallamused: ...do nine men interpret? nine men I nod...
Adam is Danny's brother. In order to cope with his brother's death of congenital heart failure, he made up a supernatural wolf-monster and blamed it for Danny's death.Quote:

Interesting choice of words there. "I can't" instead of "I won't."
I'm getting Strangers on a Train vibes
something tells me this will end up less "strangers on a train" and more "throw momma off the train"

I wonder what Hetty was before she was trapped in the doll body. Female, yes, probably. Also probably not very strong, hence her interest in beings of power. I suspect not human, although perhaps not a member of the Forest. She's becoming quite an intriguing character. Which is good, because I think we're going to be with her for a while...
By panel 7 she appears to have forgotten all about the whole "you should kill Annie" thing because she's rediscovered her original goals for today. I guess she must be one of those people who only live in the moment, flitting from whim to whim as they strike her.
Call me slow, but I only got now why Jones finds shadow's uniqueness relevant. http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=979 He's as unique as she is.
Am I the only one who is incredibly bored by this story? :smallsigh:
Oh yes, Hetty, have the flammable cotton doll carry the inflammable fluid... (eye roll)
Pin and needles and a vindictive doll; this will not end well.
You may simply be being too impatient. We've gotten hints of much going on, new characters and situations in play; we'll have to see what develops.Quote:

Nope. He's spent way too long on showing that Hetty is evil. Which means either she's evil or there's a twist rather than her being something more ambiguous.Quote:

How come, it hasn't dragged on nearly as long as the Jones arc did. :smalltongue:Quote:

WTF that is a needy, manipulative, passive-aggressive, monotonous petty evil pain in the ass. I think of her as Rey's miserable little cousin that repeatedly is stuck on the side of the road because she ran out of gas since she is too self-absorbed to remember to fill-up.
He still has to go rescue her because...hey...family.
I'm sticking in to see what Hetty is planning to do to Adm. Pins, matches, and lighter fluid. I wonder what else she's getting?

She is doing all the bad things that Rey can not.

Also, Zimmy's "summons" are temporary illusions that are "only as real as you let them be" and Hetty clearly has a life outside of Reynardine. Besides, Rey doesn't believe that Annie is a cruel, capricious b***h (which, incidentally, is what needs to happen for a Hetty to spawn from Rey's death). A bit thoughtless, perhaps, but otherwise he was defending her.
But Jones was an established character who was a complete mystery, so at least I was interested in finding out her origin. Hetty is a completely random addition, just talking **** about the main characters and trying to convince Rey to go evil.Quote:

It is the symbol that shows Antimony's possession of the doll, and by extension, Reynardine.
Let's see. Can't be Jones, she and Rey meet at school. I don't think Brinnie because we haven't seen that she and Rey even met. Besides, there's no indication she continued to live in the Court after graduation, more likely she'd be in Asgard. I doubt Eglamore, I think he lives at the school. So...
It is a puzzlement.
I believe it's Annie's mark of ownership on Rey. Hence Hetty's irritation and outrage about it.Quote:

He also doesn't look like that bad a guy. Maybe he should stop being nice and just put Hetty in a box for a few years until she mellows.
(We've seen Rey can adjust his form. I wonder what Hetty's words will lead to?)
The last panel today makes me grin, the two of them look so comical in that simpler style.
Hetty has a hilarious glare face in that panel. "THIS IS SRS BSNS."
Well, if Adam is real then Hetty must be real too. Unless Rey has developed a split personality, is seeing a imaginary Hetty, did the fiberglass thing himself and has generally fallen completely of his rocker. But I don't think so.
How did this dork come into possesion of Hetty?
