The Infernal Devices: Will & Tessa Comic


Oh be still my Will & Tessa heart! 
Check out this new TID comic featuring Will and Tessa, Cassandra Clare shared with her fans via her Tumblr page this week. 






WILL and TESSA! And Jem! *sniff* The happy tears! I miss my favorite characters. I think I need to do another re-read of this series. 

Will/Tessa comic from Cassandra Jean and me. Tessa comes back from her yearly meeting with Jem with some news for Will. Or: when James Herondale got his name. With guest appearances by Charlotte and Cecily, Anna Lightwood and Charles Fairchild.

Cassie also had this to say:
So… how much should we be reading into that “only blood uncle” comment in the comic? Because unless there’s a revelation here you’re hinting at - shouldn’t Gideon also be a blood uncle to Anna by way of Gabriel? Or is this some different period usage of “blood” I’m not familiar with? — glamourweaver
No, this is just entirely my fault. I wrote out the script for the comic for Cassandra Jean while in the middle of a dozen other things, and I left off a line — basically Cecily was meant to be making a joke about how Will is Anna’s only Herondale uncle, Herondales being better than Lightworms, etc. Then I wound up having her say something about Lightworms later, so I went to take the earlier instance out but didn’t correct for the meaning, so now it looks like something terrible happened to poor Gideon. Rest assured he is in fine fettle and uncling away; he is very fond of his nieces and nephews, just as Gabriel is fond of his.
I’ll ask Cassandra Jean to correct the comic for posterity, but it’s merely my fault — this is why writers are ringed round with editors and copyeditors. Sometimes we don’t notice our own mistakes. :)
What was that scene between Jem & Tessa about in the comic? Did she have to get permission from him to tell her husband she’s pregnant?
That’d be odd. The Silent Brothers are the doctors of the Shadowhunter world. Tessa was worried she couldn’t get pregnant, as Will says later, as warlocks are infertile, and she knows that — Mortmain told her there would be a day when she’d be able to have children, but he wasn’t exactly all that trustworthy.
Tessa is talking to Jem in the role of a doctor/Silent Brother — he is telling her that she is pregnant, something she did not know before. He also tells her she’s going to have a boy. We don’t see all that, but that was the conversation. That’s why Tessa says “Are you sure?” to him — she’s shocked; happy but worried and surprised. It’s big news! Will everything be okay? Will the baby be okay?
Will is the first person she tells that she is pregnant. Jem is the person who tells her.

  2. I think that Jem in this comic, despite his love for both of them is very, very sad. For the chance he lost and the knowledge that Will will die and he will continue to live. *sniff*
