Don't you hate it when a random non-existant posts on your blog to advertise their website? I deleted them. FOREVER!

Anyway: amazing! I've developed a habit with these of staring at each panel until I've absorbed everything before moving on; which is fine, but leads me to do things like notice the spider silk in the corner of the first panel and think 'Ooh! I wonder if that's a hint about that giant SPIDER!' and then I move to the next panel and see two giant spiders. Not so much a gun on the wall as a decorative picture for background effect. Ah, well. I still patted myself on the back for that one.

So: spiders knitting. Potentially the best image ever. I also love the four-lensed glasses, that's a nice touch. The astronaut being 'the Good Major' nearly made me fall off my chair. And the Praetorian was married! Which makes sense, of course, since he was a good Roman lad, and they were always married, but still interesting.

Anyway, my theories on the subject: 1) Omega was his wife, 2) Omega is Helen, 3) Omega didn't kill him, but is the obvious red herring, and 4) Omega well killed him. Deliberately. Bitch.

Oh, and I loved 'Gaia sees you'.

Nothing gets past you. I'm thrilled my efforts aren't going to waste.

Excitement, thy name is Jom.

Well, you say nothing gets past me, but theories three and four basically covered every base, since they were 'She done it' and 'She never done it'. Not particularly inspiring guesswork...
