I'm doing a re-read of the comic and I just got to the first KZK fight and tell me if the demons on Torg look familiar

Probably too early to foreshadow, but perhaps indicate Pete’s early sense of who Torg is, deep down.

Still. Neat!

I, too, am doing a (forced) reread of the comic (to fix a glitch in the transcripts <grrr>). Funny, while I'm seeing so many signs of Pete's foreshadowing (especially wrt Sasha), I completely missed seeing that one. Now that I do see it, however, I am not convinced it was foreshadowing - at least not intentional. First, I think Pete just really likes dragons. Second, one critical feature of the Trevors, which is not featured in this dragon on his shoulder, is Trevors' two heads. The two heads speak to Torg's two seemingly incompatible personalities. The second critical feature of the Trevors is how much they adore Zoë.

That said, since Aylee has often taken a dragon form, you could make an argument that the creature here foreshadows Torg always having some form of dragon consort. Not sure what that would mean, though. Other than Pete really likes dragons. :-)

Actually, they look quite different to me, and I do not think that any similarities are intended to mean anything other than they share a god-like omnipresence.

Question: does the banner of the medieval warlord that Torg is a reincarnation of (Lord Turg de la TurgyTurgTurg? I feel that should be the name) have dragon(s) on it? I really don't remember.

No, Lord Torgamous' banner is two crossed spears on a red(dish) field, as seen (in color!) here.

That's disappointing. This calls for a retcon!

Speaking of foreshadowing the Trevors... ...or at least foreshadowing two-headed dragons...
