* [[Growing the Beard]]: The comic really begins to find its groove about ninety or so pages in. The characters' traits are mostly established, the comic is [[Art Evolution|prettier than before]], and the story starts to take off.

* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: The second minotaur the group fights as it does {{spoiler|kill Pauline and put Julie into a [[Heroic BSOD]].}} The minotaur itself however doesn't seem like an important character otherwise.

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The group travelling peacefully along at night while the stars and surroundings are beautiful and serene. They decide to stop in an abandoned barn to camp and find it quite dark in there. Julie uses a light spell to reveal [[Nightmare Fuel|bodies hanging]] from the rafters. Then the bodies come to life, smile [[Slasher Smile|quite evilly]] at them, and attack them.
