About 200 pages long probably
Oh, I'm putting together the next Kickstarter, by the way! It should be live by the end of this month. In the meantime, here's a couple of other webcomic kickstarters that could really use your help reaching their goals: Long-running urban fantasy Sorcery 101 is wrapping up, in book form! And, by the same artist who brought you Derelict, The Sword Interval is going for a run of its first volume. Monster hunters, modern wizards, clocking a dragon with a baseball bat, it's got it all.
Cast: Benjamin Thackerey, Harriet Barber, Heinrich Wolfe, Jack O'Malley, Nicola Barber, Sidney Malik

Last panel : stop having a spouse argument and use your buckets !
Oh no! Now they're hitting each other with the buckets!
They probably can't, due to the ambient wrath. All seven being free probably means influence being exerted already.
Ooh hadn't think of that.
Much more likely: "If they can't be bothered to help save their own place then why should we? Lets concentrate on saving the neighboring houses instead."
Mal's body language in panel 2 is priceless ^^
I don't know, I could easily see Vincent Price
that sort of body language.
That just makes it even better! (I'm a huge Price fan.)
Naaawwwwwwww. Hunny, it's okay.
I want to hug poor Mal.
I love how Mal is so confused, he thinks that it's obvious where the spirit came from, but he didn't know that it was a witchy thing, it's just like.
"I know where it was summoned, don't you?"
Poor dear
And poor Wolfe. My god I love this.
It is scenes like this that make Widdershins one of my favourite works of literature.
Poor Wolfe? POOR WOLFE? Poor Mal, you mean! :(
I also mentioned poor Mal, but in a separate comment.
I understand your sentiment however.
Well, it's not quite. "Here is a nice pill that makes it go away, good day what ho cup of tea."

and they may be stuck there forever now. ;-)
But at least they aren't going to stick Mal full of needles
Wrath might try that next time though...
This is really exciting! I like the way this comic has been about gradually setting up storylines for the past 5 years and now having them converge in one place. Getting to see these characters finally interact feels as big as the plot revelations, to be honest.
Something interesting...Wrath knows that Mal is a witch, but it clearly tries to kill him along with Ben and Wolfe. But Envy said he was needed alive during Chapter 5. Maybe they don't need him anymore now that all 7 are out?
Or maybe Wrath is just a hothead. (ahahaha)
Oh. Oh Harry!
She so much more reserved, while Nicola freaks out all over the place. You wouldn't even think of her... feeling so strongly.
But I can feel that "please" like a jab to the gut.
Chekov's Violin. Calling it now that the violin is going to be important later, unless it was called already.
Mal can see Wolfe's peace and happiness especially well when he plays, and we know that Virtues can be summoned/invoked too. Maybe Mal will need that reference for a working?
I dunno... seems really in character for Mal, given his regard for Wolfe & his music.
Yeah! A long chapter for the conclusion of the first Widdershins story arc. This is going to be great! (Mal will hate it.)
It's a really bad day when your home is burning down, and you have to run off to do something more dangerous.
(Let's not even mention the two years it will take to get this day sorted out. I hope there's time for a pipe.)
I love this comic so much <33333
Masterful summation, Ben.
Both of them, actually.
You do realise that is all Herr Wolfe's fault? If he hadn't made O'Malley get off the train at Widdershins, none of this would have happened.
I got the impression at the time, however, that fate was going to pull Mal into Widdershins one way or another.

Comparing the two pages, I'm struck by how the comic's art has evolved: the backgrounds are better and the characters are much more sharply drawn. (Look at Harry's hair in this strip and compare it how it was drawn Way Back When.)
I've loved watching Kate's style evolve.
A very long day, indeed!
Ah, poor Mal.
Forced to save the world with people who call him names.
There should be some whisky 'round here if ya need a drink after.
Well, considering their abode was just burned out...
Very interesting observation
Kickstarter? See if you can get Professor Wright to do your animation...

The character tags make me so happy!
