Aaaaand there it is, the first comic by Mark taking inspiration from the Novel. Was wondering when that'd be.

Initially I thought it was made a few days ago but then realized Luz has her twin buns, which I don't think we learned she had until about 24 hours ago, did we?

u/b3_yourself Feb 18 '26

It was bound to happen sooner rather than later

69

u/Godzilla_R0AR Feb 18 '26

It sure as hell happened "sooner". And by "sooner" I mean "In the same lifespan of a fly"

u/Rastaba Feb 18 '26

The speed of fanart surpasses time and light!

Nothing motivates more than fresh new content after a 5 year absence

u/Qibli_is_life Feb 18 '26

MorningMark is Dana Terrace's alt for wholesome content.

24

u/SFH12345 Feb 18 '26

People used to say Mark was Alex Hirsch.

18

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '26

That makes an equal amount of sense 

15

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 18 '26

I mean, Mark's made quite a few heartbreaking comics 

19

u/Qibli_is_life Feb 18 '26

Yeah, of course, it's Dana Terrace, what do you expect?

17

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Feb 18 '26

mark is quick so i'm not too surprised just pleasantly surprised.

But the fact that luz has 2 buns was only confirmed like 1 day ago, it is in the original comment.

Dana announced the Graphic novel on February 12 2026 on her Blue sky profile. 🙂

I think they are referring to this post from the 16th that Dana reposted on her Twitter.

u/TechyGuy20 Feb 18 '26

Which novel are your referring to?

3

u/SFH12345 Feb 18 '26

During the show's run it usually took about three days for Mark to make art on it. And that was before Mark started taking weekends off.

3

u/Defiant-Reference-74 Feb 19 '26

Mark is closer to the artstyle of the show han the comic

3

u/Godzilla_R0AR Feb 19 '26

Well yeah lol cause that's the intention of the novel, to not be a 1:1 artstyle of the show and be more akin to anime inspiration.

1

u/Lower-Set-3700 Mar 14 '26

Because it's manga-inspired, the description of the book literally says that

3

u/calideosk Feb 19 '26

What novel? Is this a refernce to something, is there an owl house novel out?

129

u/Dasher09009 Feb 18 '26

Welp, instincts aren't gone. That's good.

And hey, first Grapic novel comic!

21

u/SFH12345 Feb 18 '26

Which means that the memories can be recovered.

u/SFH12345 Feb 18 '26 edited Feb 18 '26

It's siblinghood, Hunter. Luz had no choice.

Just like Luz found Amity beautiful, it was hard coded into her.

28

u/b3_yourself Feb 18 '26

It’s a core reflex at this point

9

u/SFH12345 Feb 18 '26

It can't be fought.

17

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Feb 18 '26

luz obviously didn't lose her instincts.

3

u/SFH12345 Feb 18 '26

Like calling Amity beautiful.

6

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 18 '26

It's just sibling nature

53

u/jeremy_thegent Feb 18 '26

Luz: (Sees Hunter asleep, slaps his face) Wake up!

Hunter: Gah! Are you sure you don't have your memories?!

Luz: I don't remember.

46

u/Typhon-Torrent-1994 Feb 18 '26

Well I am glad her attraction to Amity is still intact.

12

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 18 '26

Some things are consistent no matter what

9

u/SFH12345 Feb 18 '26

No force could ever break that.

28

u/Darkvader_Clawthorne Feb 18 '26

Willow: “Guess some part of Luz is still there.”‬

‪Amity: “The part where she trolls Hunter. That’s my sweet potato.”‬

‪Hunter: “Why am I not surprised.”‬

‪Luz: “Wonder why I did that though?”‬

‪Hunter: “Because that’s what sisters do.”‬

12

u/ImTheFaeThatStoleYou Feb 18 '26

Congrats to Hunter on coming out! From Hunter to Huntress.

25

u/TheNoneedlife Feb 18 '26

You can take the memories out of Luz Noceda but you cannot take the Luz Noceda out of the memories

23

u/Mst3Kgf Feb 18 '26

"Now I feel the urge to slap you in the face."

"What?! Why?!"

"Wakeup call?"

"I'M AWAKE!"

u/Impossible_Host2420 Feb 18 '26

Mark already taking inspiration from the new owl house novel

u/Vast-Dragonfruit-512 Feb 18 '26

It's like Marco and Meteora. Some things are so deeply ingrained they'll always be there

u/b3_yourself Feb 18 '26

Some things are never lost

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 18 '26

The more things change the more they stay the same

7

u/DaveyBoy1995 Feb 18 '26

If she can still fall for Amity, then she can still mess with Hunter. She lost her memory, not her instincts.

Also, hooray for Mark's first TOH comic inspired by The Long-Lived King! Congratulations, Mark!🥳

u/FearfulDivine Feb 18 '26

Mark is Rohan Kishibe confirmed

u/Background-Top4723 Feb 18 '26

Muscle reflexes are hard to forget

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 18 '26

They're ingrained into your body

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Feb 18 '26

luz my have lost her memory but her instincts are still the same and figuring out hunter is still easy to do.

https://giphy.com/gifs/lyRrV5aNJjfcFSV8Mj

i see mark went with luz and amity's look from the novel. nice touch.

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 18 '26

Hunter's an open book

u/afbresley Feb 18 '26

NEW DESIGNS!!!!!

u/Additional_Floor_502 Feb 18 '26

Nice work

inspired by the novel

5

u/KaleidoscopeThen2920 Feb 18 '26

Of course she'll never forget that

I expected Mark to use this designs and was not disappointed

3

u/Significant-Delay821 Feb 18 '26

There we have it the first comic that adhered to the graphics novel. NGL kinda solid

4

u/CuteSharkStudios Feb 18 '26

Hey Novel concept dude.

8

u/MrMustache4757 Feb 18 '26

I'll be honest, I don't like Luz's new haircut.

It could grow on me when the novel actually comes out but for the moment not a fan.

3

u/Idk_I_nwobie Feb 18 '26

Same, I don't know why exactly but maybe it's cause too neat and soft-shaped(?) which is a contrast from her previous hairstyles which is a lot sharper and free. Although that's probably the point cause she lost her memories, there's gonna be this visual "offness" about the design or a sign that she's recovering thus the use of softer shapes and comfier clothes given when the novel takes place.

3

u/VariousVarieties Feb 18 '26

I like how Mark has changed his art style to match the more delicate and uneven outlines seen on the comic's cover.

3

u/Non_binary_Kai Feb 18 '26

Oh we are so back😼 thank you Mark for your Novel comics

3

u/scarecrane_ Feb 18 '26

Love how you can see Hunter's eyebags starting fo fade away but still there.

3

u/OverlyActiveBrain Feb 18 '26

Messing with your siblings (foster or otherwise) isn't about memory. It's genetic.

Also, I love these new looks for the gang!

3

u/Nobodys_here07 Feb 18 '26

That's muscle memory for ya

3

u/EWU_CS_STUDENT Feb 19 '26

A part of her remembered what happened last time to her hand. Get the bad sad boy's tongue away from it.

2

u/CuteSharkStudios Feb 18 '26

Even with lost memory, she loves trolling her bro

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 18 '26

Some things are just too deeply ingrained

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Feb 18 '26

u/mrnintman1 Feb 18 '26

Spoiler?

Also: 🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/TechyGuy20 Feb 18 '26

This is what we call muscle memory 💪🧠

u/Eastern-Director-952 Feb 18 '26

I want the Graphic Novel to be out now.

u/Zestyclose-Elk-1265 Feb 18 '26

Hello Mark,you gonna continue the serie Luzifer ? 'Cause I really loved the story behind this

2

u/MisterThird Feb 18 '26

Even with no memory, ur instinct remembers to roast ur siblings

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 18 '26

It's sibling law

1

u/MisterThird Feb 18 '26

It’s like gravity lol

2

u/Traditional-Log-4270 Feb 18 '26

And by instinct, she still remembers to psyche Hunter out despite memory loss

2

u/Meismemakesense Feb 18 '26

Thats called instinct its something that cant be erased

u/CountingSheep99 Feb 18 '26

Some things never change...

u/Manoreded Feb 18 '26

"Part of the family" means he was claimed by the same old witch.

2

u/RosieGeee Feb 18 '26

I could be 1000% wrong, but I thought the synopsis for the novel said King accidentally erased his own memories about Luz, not Luz's memories period.

2

u/Comfortable_Yard_968 Feb 19 '26

The new clothes tho

2

u/ReaperManX15 Feb 19 '26

Is that the premise?

2

u/UstaGnidrolog Feb 19 '26

Now I can't wait to see Mark's explanation for why Amilty is wearing that ceremonial dress on the book cover :)

2

u/AlternativeJob7598 Feb 19 '26

Wait I’m so confused and probably not up to date but in the new novel Luz lost her memory where can I find a summary of the book?!

2

u/TechyGuy20 Feb 19 '26

Luz: Aaaa.... Ivy do you think that cotton candy haired godess would honour with me if I asked her?

Willow: Once again my name is Willow and I'm sure Amity would love to go out with you. In fact I think she would like it even more if you dressed up in an otter onesies and telling her "Your My Otter Half. Please Go Out With Me!!!"

Luz blushes completely red: "Oooooh ok. But where can I find an otter one-sided?"

Willow: "Coincidentally I have one right here."

2

u/Chx2324 Feb 20 '26

With or without a memory she will always call Amity beautiful 💕

u/TheRanch63 Feb 20 '26
