Fun fact: the first panel of this strip was originally intended as the last panel of the previous strip. Marc had the great idea of splitting it differently to give the previous strip a heavier, more cinematic feel. I like the moodiness of it, which leads oddly perfectly into the more goofy/gross tone of today’s strip. How about that kiss, huh? So sweet. So romantic.
That’s Either Percy or the surprisingly breathing Captain Spectacular II.
my bet’s on Cap II. We only saw him get super whalloped, so no death is certain.
I also think that is CSII. And that is awesome 😀
Anyone check the tags?
Gorgeus Guy, is that a new hero/villain? If so, I’m sure I’m either going to REALLY hate or REALLY love him xD
Not a new hero/villain… just a new name.
A new name, you say? I notice that Commander Suckface is missing from the tags. Should we start calling him Gorgeous Guy?
😉
Suckface, you dog! Got a new and catchier name, didn’t you?
Alright, I believe the evil queen decided the second Captain Spectacular needed a name change….
Whoops, sorry folks. I didn’t mean to not tag Suckface. Corrected. Gorgeous Guy is someone else entirely.
Okay….weird moment, but I wonder how Dr. Rocket’s daughter thinks of this ?
That is if Miss Missle is still alive.
Also, that last panel, does that mean that Dark Madien still has some bits of her old fun personality within her ? 🙁
The question of Ms. Missile’s status will be answered in this chapter.
Dark Maiden’s state of mind will be addressed (in an oblique way) in this chapter as well.
Will we see Missile’s people coming to the surface world to reclaim her?
I would never rule that out, but I don’t see it in the near future.
Make Cap watch, he’ll tell you anything to make it stop.
Y’know, I think you’re right about that.
I think I just threw up in my mouth …
So that’s what that sound was.
Oh, dear lord, that’s just not right..
Or is it so not right that it comes right back around to being right again?
That’s so nauseatingly wrong that it simply CAN’T loop back around to right. I hope Doctor Rocket’s got some sort of plan… ‘Cause if Cap is imprisoned and powerless due to alcohol and torture while Zurida and Dark Maiden are still working together, we’re going to need SOMEBODY to do something and I’m not quite ready to count on a certain former sidekick.
Jerry saves the day! I love it!
But yeah… they’re in a bad spot. I wonder if it can get worse?
Yay! I was right! 🙂 As I said before, I like them as a couple. Also, like Marcus, I have wondered where does Ms. Missile stands in all of this? Great work as always Brock & Marc
See my comment above on Ms. Missile.
Thanks for the kind words!
Creepy romance is creepy
No, it’s AMAZING. You know it is.
I’ve never been so simultaneously happy and horrified. I’m pretty sure they’re perfect for each other but at the same time… Just… EWWW!
But that’s a good EWWW, right?
It’s like how I feel about Roger and Jessica rabbit. You really don’t want to imagine them being… well, “affectionate”, but darn it if they aren’t a legitimately good couple.
Dang. That’s a perfectly apt comparison.
Most people seem to find the kiss unnerving, but what threw me was seeing Zurida with such a happy look on her face in panel 2. Not just an “evil” happy look, but a genuinely happy look. Down right ecstatic, I’d say. Gorgeous Guy seems awful comfy lounging there like a cat at the Two Queens feet. Is he Dark Maiden’s new “pet”? For some reason I think Jim and Champy-kun are right, and he’s CSII with a much needed haircut. Marc did another fantastic job, and I love the detail of Zurida’s hair coiling around Dr Rocket.
I totally didn’t notice the coiling. That’s awesome! I’m a pretty detail-oriented, but Marc one ups me a bunch like that and I love it.
I am kinda happy for Dr. Rocket, he’s never had someone who loves him, as Zurida clearly does in panel two. Though that is the sort of Perfect Couple everyone should fear, so it probably won’t last long.
So, whoever the lounging “gorgeous guy” in the throne room is… where’s Percy?
Also, Star Maiden doesn’t look comfortable on her throne the first panel. Not emotionally, just physically, which I never understood, all thrones look uncomfortable. When I take over the world my throne will be intimidating AND ergonomically correct.
Percy is not in any of these scenes. Yes, you should be reading into that.
I want your version of a throne.
Doctor Rocket: always going after the women in Captain Spectacular’s life.
You’re right. Looks like it finally worked out for him.
I think I called this match months ago!
I do believe you did.
OMG! okay way grosser than seeing your parents kiss as a child.
Can’t agree more.

[…] lot of people guessed pretty quickly that the guy hanging out at Zurida’s feet was the former (and thought dead) Captain Spectacular II. There’s a lot we still don’t […]
[…] dapper, and a little more fashionable, and a little more Zurida. He’s on Zurida’s team, he’s in a relationship with her, and the old look just wouldn’t do. Dr. No, the first James Bond […]
