Curate, connect, and discover
I don’t know the exact timeline of the movies or how the comics fit in with them, BUT
if Spelldon offered to “keep [Val] up on the groanings” around monster high, would he know about the events of certain movies/other comics? Does he know about what Lilith did? Or Kala?
Did he know about Whisp before they met? Did he already know what she did and let her say her piece anyway?
