Poor tiger.

I am sure he tried his best.

I do really wonder what history Amon and Isolde have to elicit that kind of response...

They grew up together in the brothel.

Oh? I'll need to dig around and read into that.

I hope Amon is well

I finally got first comment

i think he's been "poisoned" to mimic death where he will then get his freedom or the same gimmick but severe illness to be taken to a hospital or something where security won't be tight

nah, it's an OD. . . it was inferred pretty heavily in previous pages

But who would know? They design was crudely convoluted. Good to actually know that, though... Such a shame.

Oh sorry, not referring to the dream sequence. Yeah, that one's hard to make out. Intentionally, but still. I was more referring to the scene where he speaks to Jigurandae, which granted, they talk in double-speak, but I was hoping most people would realize they were discussing drugs :P

Pardon my ignorance, I'm not up on anything remotely drug related, I am gladly ignorant of it. Personally, want nothing to do with it, but I know it is just a part of some stories, inevitably.

I honestly thought he was trying to buy his way off the island. I didn’t even consider it was about drugs XD Looking back though it makes sense.

Might urge the hyenas to send him off sooner.

oh god he overdosed

Poor buggers better off not waking up

I hope Dhaval gets to make sweet love to the baroness.

He did. It was quite brief

I love how the last panel of this page kinda mirrors the last panel in the last page.
Ooof, poor Amon though. ;w;

Amon looks like he finally found his peace. At least he looks peaceful.
And if I didn't knew better, I would say Isolde is in love with Amon.

I think that Isolde would never admit it, but yes...she harbors very strong feelings for him despite being so distant.

I think she would never admit that do care about anyone other than herself. But I think that's just a shield to protect herself.

It is indeed. When one is battered and beaten so much people will go to extremes. Some like Isolde, others go the opposite. One reason I identify with Isolde but I try to stay moderate.

Well said and agreed from experience. The world and terrible events within can drive a person to become a cold and bitter or distant individual.

He is tripping harder than a school bus full of museum going children.

This is an emotional climax and I love how Isolde is finally showing (and getting to show) how much she actually cares for Amon. It's lovely little things like this that gets to show just how deep you make your characters. A little bit of her mask has fallen away. I also really love how you did Amon in that last panel - he truly looks limp and unresponsive. The only thing is, that the whole rest of that final panel doesn't live up to the moment with how Isolde is depicted and even the background character. Their posture and poses make them inconsistent with the emotion - to the point it breaks me out of the story.

Iyanee's the only one in the background as far as I can tell, and it's supposed to be 'she just came in'. . . maybe the next page will make it more clear? Their reactions are a lot more pronounced on page 95.

Agreed, but even someone who just came into the room would have their attention drawn by a loud and distraught person yelling and shaking someone on the floor. Her gaze would naturally be drawn to that and her expression register some hint of surprise, from forward snapped ears and maybe widened eyes or a straightened spine to a hand to the mouth or chest. Isolde, already in the throes of full on reaction, is even more starkly off in her pose.

Just to add, in case my remarks come off as a bit abrupt - the only reason I mention this is because it's so jarring. You're usually -very- good with body language and the art enhancing the writing. The whole exchange on the page where Amon is seeking and then speaking with the black leopard for example, is masterfully done. The stances, side looks, everything about that interplay that the words are concealing is revealed in how they're shown interacting. Even the background characters are glimpses into people at a party for different reasons, each one written in pose and expression.

Isolde seems so worried about him. Would she stay behind if she knew what he was sent off into?

Dam, he tried to kill himself.

Oh, no... if he were dead, they'd be commenting about him not breathing, right? But the hyena's pause before she says "ill" is alarming...

Whatever Amon took, it can't be good

Opiates overdose, opium or possibly morphine. Amon has a history with abusing it. Heroine is a more modem invention, and wasn’t really available to the very late 1800’s / early 1900’s so I wouldn’t think he’d known that (thankfully). All of them come from the opium poppy plant and all of them can and will kill you if abused.

Oh Dear.

I think I'd be more upset with him if he recovered.

Why, if you don't mind me asking?

Because if he's going out of his way to escape his life (which in this case is looking very very bad) and replace reality with a dream he may as well be able to die there. Better for him to go his way than live through sacrifice or whatever he thinks would happen plus having everyone he cared about being disappointed in him till the end for nearly ODing. Big picture it's worse in that he'd be replaced, better if he revolted, better yet if he didn't get high (subjectively because I am an ass who won't' tolerate recreational drug use. and yes he mostly gets a pass for having it forced on him in the beginning) and instead took some form of initiative/agency which he sorta did talking to Luther a little bit.

Of course as an audience member I can see the meta narrative suggesting that he survive and escape the assumed fate through Luther. In which case the near-OD is probably just maintaining character consistency and/or provoking an ah-ha moment that causes a change in Amon that another character wasn't set up to provide.

If I'm wrong and he dies then he is likely providing an inciting incident for other characters to take action in the plot.

This isn't meant to be negative towards the creator(s), the story is flowing very well and the art is fantastic. I'd just a person that believes in a persons right to choose to die under significant circumstances and also find rec drugs distasteful.

You’d be less upset if your friend died in front of you than survive a drug overdose?

You're heartless. He's getting sold off to be a sacrifice, remember?

I think we’ve all at some point known someone like her. That one person in our lives that always acts like they don’t care yet when times are at their worst they are always there. Amon is lucky to have someone who cares about him this much in the world of suffering and hopefulness he has endured. Throughout his story he’s always been someone I’ve felt a strong empathy for and wished I could be his friend, help him, and show him a better life.

that's some strong stuff if he OD maybe an intentional OD since he is aware that his usefulness is coming to an end and well its never been stated what happens if they outlive their usefulness

YUSSSSSSS ...NEW PAGES!!! ...with the things going on in my life, I almost forgot this story!
uuuuuhh now I want to see both a second Dhval - Baroness apointment and what is going to hapen with Amon!!

Taaaaa!!

*If I understand correctly ...this comic is not ready yet right? ...like on sofawolf press to buy it...is it? (and not cencored XD)

Rukis...you stabbin my heart again love! XU

It was bad enough with everything else! WHY YOU TORMENT ME?!?

You must revel in the tears of the feline overlords TT^TT

I'm so sorry amon. You've done well to protect dhaval.

If he wakes up he may be unhappy

He's peaceful =( I hope he's good

I thought Isolde hated Amon? Why would she care about him when she was mean to Amon in Crimson Divine? What history do Isolde and Amon share? What did Amon do to himself?

At least say something automated

Pity we didn't get to see Dhaval's time with the baroness. But now we got a major firestorm incoming, Isolde does care about him, always figured they had some kind of real friendship between them.

Wake up, Amon!! You can’t go out like this! The suspense is too much to handle! 😱😱 I love the embarrassed expression Dhaval has - it’s cute. 💚 And the texture of Amon’s head fur in the last frame makes me feel like I could ruffle it. I can’t wait to find out what happens next!

Why do I have a feeling this is how he escapes?

I think this is a means of escape for him. Still, I really hope Amon is going to be okay. Honestly, he's one of my favorite characters, I just love him

Live Amon live.

"Start an IV drip with D-5-W and lactated ringers STAT! Lets get a heart monitor on and 02 by nasal cannula at 100%..."
