The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[Punchy]

This issue brings us back up to the main story and shows how Gwen’s world has been twistered upside down and how the book has been shaken out of it’s comfort zone. I’m particularly interested in the continuing appearances of The Phantasm as a real entity rather than just a comics character, I wonder how he is related to the whole ‘oversoul/undersoul’ deal and also to Xitalu. I’m not sure where I stand on Spot being gay now, it does seem to have to come out of nowhere and I don’t see why it was necessary, but I have faith in Roberson that it’s happening for a proper story reasoning and not just to have a gay character for the sake of it and to please Scans_Daily or something. Good to have Mike Allred back too, his art is always fantastic.

I know what you mean about Spot. His coming out really hasn't been handled well at all. It seems like it was something that Robertson needed to do in order to get the plot where he wanted it rather than a natural evolution of the character.
