Newman - Emaline

Hmmm.  Good thing I decided to check before I went to bed as it appears mah blog's auto-update is acting persnickety.  Well anywho, time for an update!

---

Before the current run of Newman there was a version the artist did where Newman had a different partner and had some sort of destiny as the ultimate hero who must sacrifice everything in order to save the world.  Sadly the series was never completely finished but is referenced to in the modern run of Newman.  (comic vault)

Emaline
Emaline is a fairy and Newman's partner during the first run of the comic.  The penultimate antagonist was directly responsible for the death of her father and she seeks to stop him.  Newman cared deeply for her and towards the end even proposed to her but for whatever reason it didn't work out.

Newman - Gwen

Imagine if you will a modern day fantasy world where gnomes, elves, wizards, and so on all live in a city that could pass for present day Chicago.  The days of knights in shiny armor and high adventure are gone but monsters, fell beasts, and abominations of nature still remain.

Enter the Creature Removal Department, or the C.R.D. for short, a government agency tasked with keeping the people safe from monsters.  Two of the best agents of the C.R.D. are Newman, a cynical gnomish sword user with a standoffish attitude but a heart of gold, and Gwen, drow sharpshooter skilled at sniping monsters with arrows and Newman with snark.  Despite their differences though the two make an excellent monster fighting duo and good thing too.  For the land of modern day fantasy is still full of much weirdness that will not go down without a fight.  (first comic)

Gwen
No further introduction needed really.  But since I abhor wasted space, let's go over a bit more about Gwen and by extension Newman.  She and the titular gnome are partners in the C.R.D. and after the first chapter they're also a couple.  Gwen at times has difficulty with her drow heritage, especially in the case of Newman as drow genetics/courtship rituals means that technically Newmann is her quite literally her "love slave."  Not that he seems to mind that much.   Gwen also has the quirk of dressing up Newman in frilly dresses 'cause she thinks he looks cute in them.


















Do NOT try to mess with Gwen and run away.

The old drow ceremonial armor comes in hand on Halloween.
