Lots of cameos in this one. Funny, it was originally going to be more about Bella and Morgan, but as I worked on it Eva somehow took over. Plus there is
gratuitous arctic, waterfowl. Also I don't actually have the Space Mage model done yet, so I faked it with the artifice of a large fluffy duck mascot
suit. What is a little sad is that it is an entirely believable artifice...

BWAH HAH HAH *dies laughing*

"Bunnylingus", hee!

Rev? Kudos, man, kudos. This is awesome.

The off-panel dialogue bubbles were the best part for me - I mean, we can only IMAGINE what's going on off-camera... absolutely brilliant use of the medium. Superball's fuzzy bunny costume just slayed me, too. I continue to be amazed at your ability to dang well write characters better than the folks who created 'em, as I'm sure Mr. Schroeck would agree. =D

Evangelia was great here too. But I really like how you brought the ALPO to life. I mean, many of us, I think, have seen those characters in the Holy See World IST piece you wrote, so seeing 'em depicted in living 3D, as it were, was quite a treat. Well played.

Very well done. Amusing to see the Sibyl actually asking for the *ahem* 'wishes' this time. Very good stuff you have here.

Out of curiousity, who was the kid who decided Alister was Kawaii?

Looking forward to the rest of this. 8)

That was Space Mage, who's one of the few folks other than Evangelia who can see him.

Cruelty to cats? ... Ohhhh.... I can work with this... *Jots down notes.* Ifrit is gonna beat the CRAP out of them...

[Rev Dark]

I can't take all the credit for the term "Bunnylingus" as it comes from Peter Jackson's epic puppet drama "Meet the Feebles";
Quoth Harry the Hare "It's not called bunnylingus for nothing!"

All in all I was very pleased with the issue (though a few postwork items slipped through - you stare at it long enough and the mistakes become easy to miss.)
Gil and Alistair's sequence seems to make me smile the most; hardboiled cool and british avian snark are very compatible. Jackie as always is a riot to
write and render; Bella does a great Wonder Woman, and I am looking forward to Fae busting out some Bugs Bunny level sugar fuelled lunacy next issue.

Acyl - it is very easy for me to write characters at a superficial level (or at least when I agonize about it, I do so mostly silently.) Superball the buffoon
is easy to write from the excellent work you've put forth. Getting behind the mask and the tiny-little-bug-brain facade is much harder.

Eva is also tough to write; highly competent, while still inexperienced, great leadership, but tied to the sometimes uncertain, clumsy staggering pace of the
teenage mind. Dialog flow is also tough. Teen speak tempered by military instruction from some of her mentors (Loony Toons/Bella) and a certain dialog
structure cribbed from her penguin advisor. I wasted more skull sweat trying to get Eva to sound right than anything else when writing this.

As to which member of the Legendary was 'experimenting with cats' Bwah-ha-ha!

Oh. And this is bloody brilliant for those who remember the clever videos of the 80s (or even better those who remember them fondly.)

I wasted more skull sweat trying to get Eva to sound right than anything else when writing this.

I'm sorry that I never roleplayed her consistently enough to give you a model to work from, Shayne. But if it's any consolation, in the fragments of written Eva stories I've managed to get down on electrons her voice is pretty close to what you've come up with.

Oh. And this is bloody brilliant for those who remember the clever videos of the 80s (or even better those who remember them fondly.)
