Heh, clever writer. No one saw THIS coming.

2024-06-15 23:36:23 +0000 UTC...Kind of. Sort of. I doubt Rask envisions culling of the sick and weak to feed protector predators.

2024-06-13 01:44:45 +0000 UTCOh gees. I'm definitely not willing to consider these people "the good guys" after their culling of the old and weak (and in fact, that's probably absolutely central to this society; the wolves don't hunt the bison, but eat the dead ones, and perhaps kill the old and sick) and the backstabbing and lies and child murder and manipulation, but this is certainly interesting.

2024-06-13 01:42:34 +0000 UTCThat the Bison and the Wolves are partners, it's definetly some twist, but also...they are BUILDING things >.>

2024-06-11 14:17:59 +0000 UTCAbsolute cinema! Really! The build up was awesome : all this time we had the stranger pack being affiliated with the "old guard" and bringing bison meet, so we always expected them to be "wolf traditionalists" and the bisons were exploited but instead we have the revelations the antagonist are actually even further on the path to coexistence (the wolf and bison ruling may even be an inter-species couple) than the protagonist. Which isn't illogical as they're opposed to our heroes because of circumstances, not ideology, and we have now no idea how the future conflict will go on, or even if there'll be one. It's also a massive middle finger to the old wolf : he sold Swift and co in the name of traditions and is now under the rule of a group completely anti-traditional, when in comparison Swift was far more traditional UNTIL he pushed her away with his crap and led her to attempt contact with the Forge.

2024-06-11 12:07:56 +0000 UTCThat's a helluva way to start the morning; I see an update for Oren's Forge and pull up the full page. Disappointed that it's not Swift and the pups, but then gained interest with "huh, they trapped bison. Wonder if they used traps like the cougars." Then I see the hands in the final panel and actually did a full head tilt and "Huh?!". Dis gon B gud.

2024-06-11 10:00:02 +0000 UTCWAIT, ONE MORE WILD PREDICTION BEFORE NEXT WEEK: the hand taking the spearhead from Singer isn't a bison, but a javelina - the species that taught Oren how to make metal in the first place
Gale Tazzin
2024-06-11 07:44:57 +0000 UTCThis is a PG comic and we cannot mention Singer's hemeroids :)
Marcwolf
2024-06-11 06:55:19 +0000 UTCThere may be other herds of bison that aren't part of the Zenith's herd?
Torakhan
2024-06-11 05:24:53 +0000 UTCNow THIS is how you do a plot twist!
Jai611
2024-06-11 03:45:37 +0000 UTCThis is such a cool twist :)
JohnnyTikitavi
2024-06-11 03:03:02 +0000 UTCMakes sense.. Wolves protect the Bison from other predators. Just wondering how the 'Culling' system works out. But major achievement re co-operation, remembering one of the early scene's of a bison being stalked and killed by the wolves.
Marcwolf
2024-06-11 01:53:51 +0000 UTCwow, the enemy has literally already achieved Rask's dream
Gale Tazzin
2024-06-11 01:30:02 +0000 UTCDon’t “oh shit” at Swift Oren, oh shit this!

2024-06-11 00:45:45 +0000 UTCThat was a twist I did not see coming!! I LOVE THIS COMIC SO MUCH!!! 💖💖✨
SnoopKatt
2024-06-11 00:03:18 +0000 UTCWHAT A TWIST
Amber
2024-06-10 23:37:28 +0000 UTCA wolf and a bison are the Zenith pair?
Torakhan
2024-06-10 22:38:59 +0000 UTCThe fear and grovelling makes me wonder what Singer did before for their forgiveness.
Furlop
2024-06-10 22:31:53 +0000 UTCDamn, now that's a twist! I wonder who's in charge here, and what kind of deal the bison struck with the wolves, for them to forge an unlikely alliance like this! I didnt think I could get even more excited for the next installment, then this happens!
TornTethers
2024-06-10 22:03:17 +0000 UTCBut to be honest, I didn't think the Zenith was a bison, but a moose/some "rival" of bison :B
Looweezah
2024-06-10 21:52:23 +0000 UTCCalled it! :D
Looweezah
2024-06-10 21:50:52 +0000 UTCWhat a twist! All this time I was prepared for a pack of wolves controlling the bison. I agree they must have struck a deal- and I wonder if this was the bison's way to control the wolves instead, but the pair being a wolf and bison implies to me it was something more genuine. Couldn't possibly be a utopia though- we can tell from his answer in panel 2 who's really in control. In a similar vein, the bison definitely feed the wolves, so we know there is some type of qualification for being offered up. I'd hate to end up being the bison equivalent of a second class citizen here.

2024-06-10 21:36:34 +0000 UTCI'm really delighted with this twist. I didn't expect cooperation/alliance between bison and wolves. Now I can't wait for the third part. It seems that this bison learned the language of predators, otherwise we would have green speech bubbles.
Krzysztof K
2024-06-10 21:34:30 +0000 UTCSo then what happened to Red was a calculated attack brought about to make Swift’s pack desperate. The bison they killed in the beginning of the first chapter was a social outcast?
Microgrampup
2024-06-10 21:25:59 +0000 UTCI'm obsessed with this plot twist - it took me completely by surprise but reading back in earlier pages, you can see the seeds being planted. What amazing storytelling!
Romilly
2024-06-10 21:24:39 +0000 UTCDang I did NOT see this coming at all! I LOVE this twist, and this opens up so many interesting possibilities with how this group’s experience will mirror/contrast with Oren’s group. Dang. Incredible storytelling as always!!
Flann Moriath
2024-06-10 21:22:15 +0000 UTCIf this is the case, we might end up with two different groups of predator and prey, with different ideas on how to coexist
Dhaka Yeena
2024-06-10 21:18:29 +0000 UTCThere is a wolf and a bison sitting under that roof. Who would thought that it's some kind of alliance between the bisons and the wolves. What a twist!
Pantera
2024-06-10 21:18:09 +0000 UTCWonderful plot twist that I can't wait to see the meaning of in the third installment! 🙀 Interested to see what kind of deal they made. Maybe something like the Bison giving up their weaker members, or perhaps the bodies of the deceased? Maybe a completely different situation? Looking forward to the answers!
ProwlingPaws
2024-06-10 21:17:04 +0000 UTCHoly shit!
Dylan Bajda
2024-06-10 21:11:53 +0000 UTCOr, what if the bison own the wolves in some way?
Dhaka Yeena
2024-06-10 21:10:34 +0000 UTCNow that...Is a plot twist
Defhammer
2024-06-10 21:08:21 +0000 UTCI've been wondering for a long while if bison would show up again. It seems they have in a major way.
Tirosu
2024-06-10 21:07:59 +0000 UTCOh interesting! I see they're speaking the same language, unlike how the predator/prey bubbles from before. Granted, Rask can speak to the prey members too.
Aratare
2024-06-10 21:05:54 +0000 UTCAnd the plot thickens, becuase that looks like a bison's hand/hoof. Maybe the wolves and the bison have struck a deal with one another, rather than the wolves being in charge like we thought? Would explain why there's "nothing" stopping the bison from trampling them
Houndstooth
2024-06-10 21:05:43 +0000 UTCTalk about being sideswiped great twist
Dictator Catface
2024-06-10 21:05:11 +0000 UTCOh I love this
Wyn Bird
2024-06-10 21:04:49 +0000 UTCI was not expecting this. What are they feeding the wolves their calves?
Briana Burch
2024-06-10 21:03:54 +0000 UTCAyo:..the plot has thickened wolves and bison working together??? Hmmm maybe the wolves provide protection while the bison provide food?
Dhaka Yeena
2024-06-10 21:02:44 +0000 UTCI love the plot twist
Buff Duck Artz
2024-06-10 21:02:42 +0000 UTCwell, the wolves and bison working together wasnt on my bingo card...
Viiperfang
2024-06-10 21:02:01 +0000 UTCWell mark me as BAMBOOZLED!!
