Favorites pages, panels, scenes?

(1/3) > >>

Jitter:
User Turnstylus asked on Disqus today: “This may be a question for the fan forum, but I'll ask here anyway: what are some of your favorite scenes/panels?”

I agree with them! So, share your favorites! I’m sure we’ll remember many great ones by reading each other’s faves!


I responded on Disqus so I copy here:

Some of my favorites:
- the Dalahästen train in the night, passing by some buildings, some blood on the circular saw but before the giant’s attack
- aerial view of the Danish base at Øresund
- the dusklings flowing out of the old building after Emil fires a shot
- Lalli arriving alone at Reykjavik, and the seawall subtly shows what kind of world we are in
- chapter cover of the team walking among the cartrolls
- aerial view of the old settlement/ ex petrol station, where they went for supplies and met Speedy McPlorp and the other Kalma (acid trolls)
- the lake cows emerging from the water in the night

Oops quite many! I like this comic!

More keep coming to mind but one I have to add:

- the underwater skulls Lalli is standing on in the Scary Reedy Place when he and Reynir go looking for Onni for the first time.

The language tree page.  It is what got me hooked on the webcomic. 

Kevin_Redcrow:

* Lalli invoking the moon goddess at the train station. The large panels were so atmospheric, I could hear Sibelius' 2nd Symphony, 1st Movement playing in my head
* Lalli hopping onto the train immediately after, and the guard being startled that Lalli was not going to cause the fuss he seemingly expected  :D
* Reynir bashfully asking the gods for guidance on being a mage
* Mikkel interrupting Emil's blunt inquiry about washing facilities at the pick up point by bear-hugging him and Lalli

 :lalli: I agreed about Lalli's invocation to Kuutar.
 :lalli: Lalli leaving the dream sea behind at the close of our first view of Lalli's travels there.
 :emil: the blood drip onto Emil's face, followed by ...Tooth Scary
 :emil: Cthulhund's transformation into spider-beast.
 :reynir: The page as the team waits in the dark to make its last stand. Kitty's eyes grow huge. A spark ignites as the first beastie encounters the perimeter.
 :lalli: Lalli floating in the dream sea after escaping Emil's dream space, with the coils of huge serpent filling the whole background.
 :reynir: :tuuri: Reynir escaping the Kastellet infirmary with Tuuri.
 :onni: :lalli: The sequence of Onni falling chasing after Tuuri & the Swan, segueing into Lalli kneeling by the waves (the single most beautiful page in the comic imho).
 :lalli: :tuuri: :emil: :sigrun: :mikkel: :reynir: :siv: :torbjorn: :onni: :trond: The family tree, which has supplied me with endless inspiration.
 :reynir: Reynir starts praying for aid, and the stave glows around him.
 :onni: :reynir: Reynir & Onni have coffee & cake with Pastor Anne.

Spoiler: deja vu episode • show I just got a deja vu episode, and I remember having had that dream.
I was writing down my favourite scenes from SSSS, because the comic was ending (at the time, I thought, no say it's just a dream!).  I laughed because many of them featured Lalli, and were the really scary & tense scenes.
Then this thread started today and halfway through answering it, I laughed....

tehta:
I agree with many of the Lalli & Reynir pages. I get the sense that Minna used to enjoy drawing them (and their magic, and the dreamspace) particularly.
To add one that has not been mentioned: the double-page spread where Lalli blasts the housetroll and knocks himself out of the dreamspace.
Onni's magic is awesome too: I love his owl attacking the ghosts, and his summoning of Kokko.
Also:

--- Quote --- the Dalahästen train in the night, passing by some buildings, some blood on the circular saw but before the giant’s attack
--- End quote ---
the skeletons in one of the buildings it passes! So creepy.

Finally, I could add a whole series of Emilalli moments, but I will settle for the one where Emil tries to say 'good job'. The facial expressions are priceless.
