NOTES

  • First appearance of Theon Tenfield, another human from Earth
  • Theon is following a specific path, like Bromance and other Knights; he will not tell Cornelius exactly what he knows about the Beyonding, because that could keep Cornelius from learning for himself, which greatly diminishes the power gained by the knowledge
  • Cornelius’ blade seems to warp and bend, which is a reflection of his lack of confidence using it
  • The cave in panel 9 appeared previously in a picture on the wall of a roadhouse, in #174
