O_O well this is intense.... Love how you draw Eli he looks so mighty and huge, but still he's a bit of a coward in the last few panels.
She takes controll back...
It's good to see Eli back down and he sounds like maybe he too has had enough fighting for now, but who knows! I never feel easy when these two are discussing peace! I like the way the 3rd and 6th panel form an almost complete picture of Eli's stature, not sure if that was intended or not but it works well just the same.
I can see his mind working at top speed (top-notch art again!) which means he's probably going to try and do something very stupid next - as if threatening Kim's parents didn't already qualify for that...
Hmm, it's interesting what Banes brought up. Yeah, it's hard to imagine a parent allowing their children to be sacrificed for anything, but it's different the other way around. In a remorselessly Darwinian sense, the parents have already served their biological purpose once their offspring are grown and able to fend for themselves. They are more expendable.
That's really true!! Were I a parent being held hostage with high stakes involved, I'd scream for my kids to 'LET ME GO!!' (I think, anyway - I might wuss out!)
I seriously hope that Eli believes what Kimber Lee is saying, and this "comprehensive" attitude isn't a counter attack plan. Well, only 15 seconds remain!
Dammit, Eli, you don't know who you're dealing with! I must say, it's unusual for the threatened family members to be the parents rather than the spouse/kids. I have thoughts on that for later (and maybe there are symbolic/mythology-reasons ... But I like it! First off, it's different, and second, it feels way more dangerous in a way - It's a stronger possibility they're not going to survive! The tension! Ack! Paint more, KL! FASTER!

Well, you'll see how the peace talks go next page... and dang, Panels 3 and 6 effect was unintentional but I like what you pointed out!!

Hey! Kimber Lee's eye is almost back to normal again! She's got wolverine like powers for sure with this God Strain!
KimLuster at 4:33AM, April 11, 2017
Haha that she does!

I was thinking the exact thing while working on next page! ;)

He's not likely to surrender while his breath still comes and goes.
KimLuster at 8:01AM, April 10, 2017
You're probably right! ;)

Eli's ultimately just a spineless bully. Now that he's finally facing a force as strong as he is, he'll probably capitulate.
KimLuster at 7:59PM, April 7, 2017
Most bullies do, don't they!!

Yes, you've touched on some of the 'metaplot' reasons (which won't really appear in the story) why I did it this way!! And I'm trying lol!!

Okay mom, pull that loincloth off.

Siblings can be the worst when it comes to things like that. She's seen him in the shower growing up. She knows about the baby pictures.
KimLuster at 7:50PM, April 7, 2017
But..but... that's Mom's brother!! ;)

Then Kim point and laugh. You will see Eli literally shrink into a little nothing and skulk away in utter shame.
