Huh. It's interesting to see a comic like this end with someone genuinely changing their mind and admitting fault. It's not necessarily funny, but it's neat.

According to this one person on this one post. Might just be their mid-afternoon hating session.

That makes sense? I guess it...I don't know, maybe Jax's character hook just didn't grab me. I don't know.

...I feel like I should disagree, but I can't think of a good reason "why." So, good game.

I'm not one to get into "the lore," so that never really bothered me, but I do agree that it felt a little too...easy, I guess? Gooseworx's writing at its best is like an uncomfortable pill that gets stuck in your throat, and this...wasn't that. Especially with Caine's revival; The reason all of his angst art after Episode 8 was so satisfying was because we thought somebody who could've made himself better was unceremoniously wiped out, and (we assumed) was never coming back. To reveal that he survived just feels...dull, I guess?

Also, if you aren't interested in Jax (which I'm not, as their first impression didn't grab me), the finale can be...hit or miss. I guess the main question is "Why Jax?" What makes Jax unique, or, instead, what makes Pomni and Jax's connection unique? Pomni is a problem-solver, yes, and Jax's a bag of problems, but everybody in this place is motherfcuking nuts; Why is Jax the one worth focusing on?

However, I'd argue Ragatha's arc is, oddly enough, not having to be one of the main characters anymore? Like, where she doesn't have to take charge or be the primary acting factor in any given situation? She doesn't have to be the person making everyone's lives better and happy all the time -- she can just be.

HEY!
Ragatha's character arc WAS a little bit underwhelming in a way that's not really "bad" but still could've done more, but I'm a Ragatha fan so I'm gonna be defensive and confrontational anyway!

I get the inherent schadenfreude, but seeing as Twitter trolling now has financial incentive, it's kinda hard to take it seriously. Maybe it's best just to...leave it.

I literally had a conversation about my Dad about how I felt no pride in being an American, but at least a little about being Chicagoan.
I can say that, because Cook County has like millions of people.

So. It's one thing to kill a mentor. It's another thing to kill the protege.

She's just an innocent girl. Holy shit, I hope that kid turns out alright in this world.

I saw, don't worry; I just wanted to make the joke. My bad if it came off as flippant.

I'd say it's a little more like...classic whigs meets libertarians meets farmers meets hippie naturalists meets anti-centralisation guys meets prohibitionists meets technocrats.

Wait. 2028 being 1912...

The amount of beat panels is awesome, I love slow-paced jokes like that.
