What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It continues where it left off. Six months later, actually.

And damn. Holy fuck, he killed Kutter. And I mean, for new readers, he's just a random guy, but for those of us who've been reading from the beginning, he's a pretty prominent minor character! And he just offs him! Like that!

One of the distinct things about Powers is its use of bubble layout (to mirror the flow of actual dialogue) and panel structure. There's also the rampant cursing.

And at the end, dude, is that fucking Retro Girl? If so, it's way cool that the first issue of Volume I ended with her death, and the first issue of Volume II begins with her return. If not, I'm not sure what the hell's going on. Of course, that holds either way.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Hee. I was specifically thinking of the Daniel-Dream guest spot making my head explode.

You never had a dream within a dream?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Got the new Ult. Spidey. Finally we're getting some actual character interaction and stuff, not just "must advance plot". But I can't believe they killed Gwen off like that. I mean it was pretty much a given that something like that was going to happen eventually, based on the original comics, but it still seemed rather abrupt. I suppose her original death was similarly sudden. Though at least there was some build-up in that one. It's especially disappointing after she and MJ finally have a good talk and I'm definitely going to miss the character.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kalshane, you do know about the spoiler font shortcut, right?

All the time, thus the 'xplodey.

Nope. Painfully unaware there was one. Oops.

Yeah , I saw your first shot at that post and thought -- damn, when I mess spoilers up, I usually get them italicised where I meant them to be blank, not blue. You should give it a shot -- it's easy.

And the above paragraph looks like:

I don't know, ita. Spoilers often make be blue.

Huh. For me the screwed up spoiler was green. When it popped up I think that was fastest I've ever hit "edit" and found a coding error. Thankfully it wasn't the actual spoiler, but rather commentary on it.

Will definitely remember to use the quickedit in the future.

Seeing my name capitalised makes me blue.
