The Dreadful -- Chapter 6
 

Chapter Six has finally begun!


And we start off with Judge Catherine reciting poetry*. Because, why not? Cryptic meanings are always fun, because it gives people a chance to theorize over stuff.

For convenience, here is the link to the opening page of the previous Chapter: Page 107

Page 132!

Kit overhears some sex.

EDIT: This is also the first page where we get to see some devikin who aren't Kit and Poe.

Poe always was more of a lover then a fighter :smug:

P.S. Seriously did not see this coming. Literally :dance:

Shootin' time.

Of course with Kit, it's always shootin' time.

Much to Kit's chagrin.

Page 133!

Kit handles the situation the way she knows how.

With bullets. Because Kit's reliable like that.

Wow.

You may sort of bash yourself for what you perceive as bad story telling, but I want you to know I really did not see Kit's sister this way.

The whole comic Kit has basically had Poe on this can-do-no-wrong pedestal, and this basically brings her down to a much sleazier level. When Liz insinuated that maybe Poe is the one who shot Kit, I gave the theory a passing glance that lasted all of a second before I went "NOPE" based on what was shown of her so far. I didn't think she had it in her.

Now, I wonder if Kit isn't just kind of delusional about her and that has made me consider her a suspect in the shooting again, and the whole idea is no longer just Liz being a bitch.

Maybe she wasn't just trying to turn her against Poe. (Obviously, Liz has ulterior motives, but still)

Wait, having sex is sleazy? People who have sex are more likely to shoot their sisters? Hm.

No, but being a hooker in a wild west brothel is kind of sleazy, and it doesn't really fit the image that I feel Kit has been painting of her sister so far.
