Description Edge Chronicles stuff again!

All throughout the Edge Chronicles series, there's a feeling that Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell - the authors - are rather mean to their characters. I need only mention names like Mim, Spooler, and Forficule, and all the readers will know what I mean! Anyway, it had been bugging me all along. Then I came to 'Vox', the second book in the third trilogy. Right at the begining of the book Orbix Xaxis, that oh so unspeakably horrible villain, has two young prisoners executed! This was more than I could handle. I put down the book and drew some comics. I felt better after that! Here's the first one.

Part Two! - [link]

Mim was the Gnokgoblin woman traveling with her family across the Mire in "Stormchaser." Screed Toetaker... too their toes.

By the sounds of it I'd say you've read Stormchaser? That's the second in the series. It's actually three trilogies, plus a little more.

Well you can't blame me for being disturbed by the way Chris and Paul tend to treat their characters!

And yes, I should do that hiding-exposition-in-props thing more often.

I've read Winter Knights. Poor girl! Still, it could have been worse. At least she didn't DIE or something! Would have made the timeline a trifle bit impossible if she had...

I love your face "when you come to a decision". The fact that you have to do "your dirty business" (Comic drawing ) is shown by taking your glasses off makes me very, very joyous. It's like....washing your hands before you dig into someone's skeleton closet. Very very interessssting *rubs fingers together*
