One of the many many many Jojoesque music references I know nobody will catch: The stripes on the wall/light through the door window are a reference to my favorite album, Red Vox's Another Light.

The page with just the cops is the first time I really did a defining bit of Spirit Falls to me: perspective/artstyle changes. In their case, I added a little "awful modern TV cinematography" flare to it.

The people of Spirit Falls interrogate what Wanda meant to them. I learn how to do colors in this one, sort of, almost.

I did forget how many spreads there were in this one. I kind of really want to redraw the last one here because it looks awful, but alas! We move forwards.

I'm glad that the page that the entire story is based around still holds up a year and a half later. That's fortuitous.

Luna's art-angst monologue is one of my favorite things from the early chapters.

This one holds up the best of the early Spirit Falls chapters I think. I hope you'll agree!!
