On Saturday the 29th: First panel is the Baoban Sith returning home to her fellow faeries, I get that. Second and third - I don't quite get it. Did Walter have a child with someone?

Well, from the fact that they're speaking Cantonese, I'm guessing that the girl with her face covered is Maggie Mui, from ROD the TV. In her first appearance on the show, Maggie was wearing something that's fairly similar to Walter's outfit, I suppose... But seeing as we've never seen Walter go to Hong Kong... or Maggie having any really Walter-like qualities... I'd say the Doujinshi-ka is just having some random fun. On a different note, I have a question about another possible loose end. If Incognito never exsisted, Baobhan Sith never went to England... what about Helena? Is she alive again, still in her house?

Keep in mind that Walter has had quite a long career (over fifty years, though we don't know how much of that was 'active'). Also, Hong Kong was a British colony up until mid-97. It would not have been unusual to send a human agent overseas to deal with a vampire there. As for the daughter...well, there's that old saying about Vegas that applies to a lot of cities.
But, yes, I agree. It's just another random tie-in.

So, this girl Maggie is a character that appears only in the televised series and not in the manga, right? Because then, yes, I get it. Then it's a theme.

Maggie is in the Read or Dream manga, which I don't think is in the US yet. Read or Die and Read or Dream are set in the same universe, but the characters never meet. They only cross over in ROD TV, where the "D" is for both Die *and* Dream.

Cue the hideous irony after time-travel paradoxes are patched of people wishing this highly dangerous form of locomotion were possible. Hideous irony is what I live for The ROD franchise isn't like the Hellsing franchise; there's none of this "three retellings of the same story with changes" nonsense. The "Read or Die" manga, the "Read or Die" OVA, the "Read or Dream" manga, and the "R.O.D" TV series all cover different points in one timeline. Rather than contradicting each other, they fill in each other's blanks. And y'all should listen to Dumas, because s/he is quite savvy.
