Oh this has to contain some of my favourite scans yet! That spread with Knives murging was wonderful! I think it might be one of my favorite Nightow pictures yet! And the one where he's bowing to the plants... his cloak swirling around him... this is a wonderful in the sense of Knives characteration. (The title is wonderfully telling, I think) thanks so much for posting it... even though you're not a Knives fan.
Oh, and notice how, in the middle when the ships are falling, they're nearly grown up? Very different from the Anime that. I hope one day we learn what happened just before the fall... I'd like to see what happened to Rem. I mean, I know she's dead but how she died is actually quite an important concept in the form of Vash characterisation, I think.
Oh, and I love that bit showing their daily lives. You're right, the bit with them playing chess is SO cute!!!
