    …and the chances of survival for the nice, wooden, flammable town of Baron’s Crossing have just dropped significantly.

    I wonder where the power comes for all of Diamonds’ cyborgy attachments – do they have an external power source, or is it magic based, like most of Hunter’s tricks?

      Diamonds is 100% powered by SCIENCE.

        I see, I see.

        So presumably, if this trend keeps up, instead of asking for “a bag of oats”, Vane’ll soon be asking for “a bucket of Science for my horse!”

          My only hope is that at some point you get to use the line “He’s more machine than horse now.”

            I’m sure it’ll get said plenty, regardless. Readers will see to it.

      inflammable. ‘flammable’ is used when labeling combustibles to suit needs.

    Great art work here, and story is quite interesting. The art is Disney-esque in the classic animation style. Good stuff. As for Diamond, he’s becoming more of an apparition then a horse. And seeing there is no real power source (steam) one would say it’s black magic. Miss Black reminds me a bit of Eastwood as the “Pale Rider.” Pale being the operative here. Walking dead?

    That’s a really nice way of showing gentle shafts of light.

    And DAMN!! I know Diamonds has gone through a lot, but he didn’t just lose his leg here… I wonder if SCIENCE let him keep his heart. D:

      I will confirm he’s presently still possessed of a horse heart.

        Huzzah! That said, I don’t think he needs a heart to retain his soul. 🙂

    I can’t help but feel sad for Diamonds every time I see him, because I can’t quite shake the feeling he wasn’t quite… alive when she made him all steampunk-ey. Sorry, Sciencepunk-ey 😛 As bad-ass as he is, it makes me wonder if he’ll still be a horse by the end of this comic?
    I’m just an insane horse lover ^^; But I still love this comic! Best I’ve seen in a while, by far!

      Thank you kindly, and rest assured Diamonds has quite an arc ahead of him.

        Your comment responses speak kindly (and loudly) of and to your character. The things that you DO confirm and/or deny in your comments are so…respectful of the reader. You’re awesome, you rock, and your comic is my current favorite. Keep it up, SB, and I’ll keep reading and following.
        Maaaaaad Love.

    For those curious, the power system is that of an orphan’s heart. Don’t worry, he wasn’t using it anyway.
