Cover: knocking on the door to be in the running for the Top Three this year.
Fudge Bread vs. Mega-Shako: the more of this we get, the more I love the art. Extra bonus points this week for getting the noise of a galloping bear to work.
ggggg: I feel the need, the need for a re-read. Raymond Hirsch, it feels like I should know from two series back, but maybe I'm imagining that. This episode does more than anything before to position things within the solar system, and provide some traveling time data to let us know why the gggg the Mercury event isn't something you can just pop over quickly and check on.
Blackhawk: I'm all like "wait, Spartacus is a woman now?". But it's Blackhawk's dead missus from back in the day. I'd forgotten about her. So had he. Life's like that. Bleak. Bleaker for the demonic slave-masters. Bleak for Blackhawk when Hannibal shoves an elephant up his arse in a couple of progs.
Periwinkle Supreme - I called it, mofos! Everyone in the prime-verse has magic plot armor. It is getting a little "The Trade Federation has destroyed all that we have worked so hard to build." It's a brave attempt to make corporate meeting rooms exciting, but that's an uphill struggle at the best of times. Also, Depp's face in my comic where he's not on the wrong end of a shitty stick makes me queasy. You know, because he's a "wife beater". Man, it feels wrong to quote the Sun, but they won their day in court on that one.
Salamander Irk - At some point, Vex will appear in his own strip. How mad would this be for new readers? Mind you, Nemesis Book I played that card a little - with him not showing his face until the end of the third episode. So, there's pedigree to this tactic.

In the pipe, five by five. Well, maybe 4.5 out of 5, because of the Depp thing. Fuck off, Depp!
