kennyj says:
Uh oh... and with two viable hosts standing right there, paying no attention whatsoever?
Either Marbles is going to fulfill his role as a Chaos Crumple Zone (pat. pend) or Jack is going bye-bye.
Taran Alvein says:
Or... Tsai will finish the job and everyone will be safe forever.
Until Eli shows up.
Oh, and there's that reactor thing, too...
T.Chicken says:
I kinda feel sad for Tsai to see her dead (Presumably) boyfriend.
It ain't a disguise either (blood and goo from the wound).
Iltherdion says:
GASP!!! Does that mean that Tsai's body is still running around with another doppo in it??
Iltherdion says:
shit it does, the one who took her body had purple eyes! http://www.jacqofallblades.com/index.php?p=137#comic
Pizzasgood says:
Um, looking back at the archives, it seems that Marbles killed Tsai's original host. So now I'm confused.

Also, reading the comments it appears that I called this four years ago. Sortof. Only I meant of his own volition, not as a host.
Pizzasgood says:
Oh, looks like it was implied she was still alive way back here:

I actually commented on that. I am forgetful. Must have been the non-fatal sort of katana-through-the-abdomen wound.
Art says:
You guys got it figured out. Tsai wasn't the only original doppelganger.
cwDeici says:
Nice shot Jacqi!
And yeah, looks like he's special like her - but he won't be for long... :D
mikee says:
So does this bring the score to Jacqi-2, Jack-3? Or did I miss a few more Jack kills?
Art says:
If you don't count the tentacle garden or the Melek forms then I think that's correct.
cwDeici says:
Tentacle Garden? That's from JAB1, right? : )
Nice to hear we're getting a last chapter art extravaganza and that you're working on speed - it really shows dedication! ^^
Draconi says:
Wait special? how? I was under the impression all of the doppelgangers in the original lab were the same as Tsai and had the same potential, Tsai was just (one of) the first to get a body.
art says:
Tentacle garden was JaB2. Jack set's the spaceship down on it and destroys it when he catches up with the main cast.
Art says:
He is special in the sense he got a body. Although after getting his ass kicked by Tsai, Jack and Jacqi he ain't got a body no more.
Draconi says:
ahh okay.
mikee says:
*sniffle* So sad, he has nobody.
turntechGodhead says:
Wait why are there no new updates?! :'( I've been waiting since forever!
Art says:
I would tell you there is a new update coming soon if I actually knew.
Sketchup model progress
Spent a lot of this week working on google sketchup models that will not only make the next few pages better, but will also allow me to clarify the action in some of the last few pages:
For example:
Crossing the finish line with beautiful pages.
Art and I have prided ourselves for years for our ability to bring new pages to you every Monday, no matter where we travelled, or even during times of great personal loss.
A lot of things are changing for us right now, as Art is about to finish school and needs to pass his pharmacy licensing exam, and as I try to juggle my day job, the comic, and my new video projects.
Even so, this comic has an awesome final chapter written for it, and it deserves to be seen through to the end. The last few pages have been visually sub-par in my mind. I'm revisiting them, and preparing the next few pages, to look as good as they should be.
You have stuck with us this long, and we want to show you we appreciate you by making this chapter as awesome as we can.
The next few pages might not always be out on Monday, but they will be damn good, and we will be proud of them. Thank you so much for your understanding.

I recently made a video about some of the physiological barriers I was running into trying to fit more work into the week, and about creative experimentation. If you're interested, you can check it out here:
Next several comics are going to be slow coming out.
We are still working on the comic, but the next several comics are considerably more complicated than most of the comics we make. And on top of everything else Joe and I are incredibly busy in pretty much every other aspect of our lives. This is NOT a hiatus. The comic will continue to update, just at a necessarily slower rate. Thank you for your patience.
More videos!
I met the creators of this game at PAX East:
I also interviewed Andi Buchanan on my way home?
Rob says:
New Jacq. I missed you guys last week.
