Alright now I can finally give my thoughts for this issue as well… and without spoiling it, all I can say is that both me and my bro were really impressed by this issue, full of so many gags, references and characters… and even backstory, which makes the story much more interesting!
And now onto my review…
First off, it's really neat to see Talwyn, Cronk and Zephyr again; especially Talwyn. I reckon her personality is a lot better now and it's so sweet how she greeted Ratchet XD and how they had a talk now and then too, especially about Alister.
As for Sasha… oh boy, I wasn't expecting their 'meeting' to be so stale and quiet, seems Sasha doesn't like him at all anymore and she's rather serious now and doesn't take jokes lightly.
But the main highlight for this issue was how they go back into the past, before Qwark became the President of Polaris. Who would have thought Zogg used to be a fan of Qwark! Me and my bro kept going ON AND On about how much of a jerk Qwark really is for doing that to poor Artemis! o_O never thought I'd say that about him, lol!
And that Cyrus guy is a douche too, the one sorta responcible for Qwark being such a backstabber to Zogg and I ROFLED when Ace Hardlight was mentioned and I immediately had in my mind "Don't compare ME with asschin!" (A quote Ace says somewhere in my fanfic, lol!) so yeah that made me laugh a lot XD
I also felt kinda bad for President Phyronix too, he wasn't acting like an idiot at all! And how he called Zogg "Artie"… seems they were friends at some point.
I'm not really sure what else to say, but all I can say if that I did really enjoy this issue! So many funny jokes and the story gets loads more interesting! The Oil bath scene was funny as well, but so were many other scenes. And I like how the story gets more deep too… TJ Fixman rocks with this, and Adam's drawings are awesome as ever, seeing these other characters in his style is great! I now adore his style, to be honest XD Jonny's colours are also very good too, as they always were!
Ok that's enough for the spoiler review I guess, and it's very nice that they had a Tribute page for Jonny Rench at the end of the comic too, which was also a good read and a good way to let other fans know about what had happened and how his colours won't be in the next 3 issues.
So yeah, I loved this issue and I can't wait to read more
Oh and I also like your review, GamerSlyRatchet. Better than my spazz-filled one but yeah now that I read that, I can help but sorta agree with you on
Qwark too (instead of just thinking he's being a complete jerk/attention seeker as always XD)
