It’s a great coat. Thinking it might be this one — https://www.nexttownover.net/?p=2174 — with the “alterations” made. Hopefully whoever did them in the end fared better than Eliza 🙁
But I thought tracking down that chunk of red was why he was working so hard in the mine, as you showed in your third link? How does he come to find it outside the mine, just by turning over a rock?
I think he’s inside the mine in those middle 3 panels. And I think this little interlude may have knocked it loose: https://www.nexttownover.net/?p=2580
Typical. I discover this just in time for a break. However, considering the number of webcomic artists who have burned out lately, by all means get a little distance and take a well-deserved rest.
It’s not the same rock as in the other panel before. In the panel with the red crystal Hunter’s removing a big chunk o’rock from top of the crystal. He was not holding it before 😉
Enjoy your break and your time with family, Erin. It’s been a fantastic ride so far, and it’s great to continue seeing glimpses into the story of Vane and Hunter. We’ll be right here when you get back.
Yes, that’s what he was doing, seeking more red rock.
My only question is, was his theft of the Book of Alchemy planned or incidental? It’s just happenstance he noticed a hidden library because Vane just happened to choose the blue rock to use the machine with… I doubt he could have foreseen that.
Glad you’re taking a breather! Enjoy yourself in suffering your family… in the Next Town Over! Mwahahaha!
I’m so confused.
You have a good time Erin, enjoy your vacation. I know the surprise you have for us will be a good one. Thanks for such a great comic.
Erin, enjoy your vaca.

He’s got a bigger specimen of this red whatever crystal now. It’s apparently what he was mining for. Just like he said, not gold.
Has he? Aren’t we still seeing him in the flashback, with him still wearing the pretty duster from the last page?
He hasn’t had a coat like that in a long time. Not since Whiskey Bend.
Oh, wait, nvm, I see from the last page’s comments that Erin confirmed this is the present. I was confused by the coat. The glorious coat.
And hey, that’s not my Gravatar image! Wha’happen??
Oh, wrong email=wrong gravatar. I’m just wrong today. Distracted by the beauty of the coat.

Very, very good detective work! Thank you!

Thanks so much for the links. I remembered each but had no time to look for them, it’s great to get them so easily!

NTO doesn’t “break” like other comics though; I doubt a week goes by without new comic content.
I… think… he’s superheating a rock, rather than it being a crystal. You can see it’s dark in the panel before, and then he’s aiming his hand at it.
It’s not the same rock as in the other panel before.

Thanks, all!
Wonder if he found this mine using the necklace he stole and that gold machine

…that thar fire has angry eyes Ma…
Such lovely work, enjoy your respite, it is well earned!
I just noticed them. Jesus they’re, terrifying.
