Fascinating! Coyote’s reputation is as a “Trickster,” an Agent of CHAOS. Whatever his Purpose, he is NEGOTIATING seeking Balance, and restoring Order. He is “Tricking” a creature of Pure Chaotic EVIL … into doing .. What, exactly? … Y’now there is more Feral Ferocity in the the Eyes, in Panel 5, but doesn’t that Smile look awfully Familier? and doesn’t “Twosday” invoke Raul Julia’s role In Street Fighter as Bison [THE Magnificent Bastard!] The only other Actor who could Possibly have delivered that line “… but for Me, it was .. Tuesday.” is Vincent Price. https://youtu.be/sjZ5I8l32CI
Like the other trickster god(s) Explaining Coyote (their gender depends on the mood and coyote makes a good momma to lost human kids) is complicated. True evil not as such. And often more forgiving than angles or grandmas.

I am so looking forward to how this will turn out, but part of me is getting sad that the end seems to be near.
So … not … good.
Vane will be restored, and then … the pair of reunited love-birds shall be gunned down. A classic Russian ending!
More like a Cardassian Cyclic Tragedy. There are Two Groups. ‘spect they’ll be gunned down more than Once.
One might hope that the two groups will wind up gunning each other down, a fine and tricksy way to end the story.
I think it’s fine, as long as it lets their souls be together in whatever afterlife they end up in. (Hopefully not a version of hell.)
The antepenultimate panel (if I’ve counted correctly) hints at the chorus of Rainy Day Women.
Coyote has a halo?
I think it’s more of an alchemy symbol, basically just the symbol of Coyote/Coyote’s power than a halo.
