Avengelyne vs. Threshold Allure!!???
So, remember that awkward bent Shi sleeping panel that was repurposed for the Threshold: Allure panel in a previous post (I've included it in this post just in case you wanted to see the comparison without clicking the link).
Well, while reading Avengelyne: Bad Blood to source a submission, I discovered that isn't the only time art from Avengelyne has shown up again in Threshold: Allure, because that awkward awkward fighting scene in Threshold Allure that's been on this blog before was apparently originally from Avengelyne! It's almost exactly the same with some details changed, you can even see how the pink girl's socks/bottoms are just reversed so that instead of having pink leggings and bare calves, she has pink socks and bare thighs, even the asymmetry is exactly the same.
Boundless Comics is an imprint of Avatar Press, so they have the rights to the art and I assume just wanted to reuse it with some editing (as has been mentioned to me, you can see in the Shi one what looks like the narration boxes edited out, so likely it's not redone from the pencils but edited working from the published page), but it's just amusing to me that it's happened twice where something on this blog has shown up again in a different comic that's also been on this blog.
It's also kind of wild because the Avengelyne panels actually make more sense, or at least the final one does where Avengelyne's sword is in front of her friend (girlfriend?)'s sword blocking it instead of behind it like in the Threshold: Allure panel. Also, I think it's impressive when of the two, Avengelyne has the more normal looking outfit.

Avengelyne: "I'm not sure I understand why we're doing this, Tanya. It's not a fair fight. You're very skillfull and you've got heart, but... well, you're only human.

Panel 1: Tanya: That, my dear angel, is exactly the point.
Panel 2: Tanya: To become a better fighter, I've got to go up against warriors who are better than me.

Text box: "If your spirit empowers our body, makes us all STRONG, then why don't you act on your big, fat lesbian crush on Tanya? You can't hardly focus when you stare at those tits, imagine her tight body as you scissor with her..."
Girl 1: Hey, Praxi... you all good? You seem distracted. I would hate to kick your ass just because I caught you napping!"
Girl 2: Oh, yes, I'm fine. I did need to see you today for a specific reason. I need your... special skills.

Girl 2: I hope you will *come* along with me.
Girl 1: Oh! What kind of party are we talking about?
Girl 2: An ancient order from my past appears to be active once more. We need to find them.
Girl 1: Oh! Hahaha. Oh god. I don't mean to laugh. Just, your, uh... your choice of words threw me off.
