Yay! Its back again! I stagger my reading of it to Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday cause there aren't enough good webcomics on those days, so I am not the best person to lead a real time discussion, but it really needs a thread. So in Monday's we see the mysterious return of the dark figure. (linky)

Who is starting to sound really, really desperate.

Also, is it just the art upgrade, or does Ellen's green ray seem more... jeeze, what is a same word to use? Powerful? More powerful then usual?

Have we seen the claw-glove before or is this a foreshadowing of Lord Tedd?

Tedd had the claw-glove in a dream. It shot Kamehamehas and made him look Lord-ish. I would not have remembered this if Dan hadn't linked to it.

I find this foreshadowing poor. Unfortunately I cannot formulate a full opinion until I actually see what was being foreshadowed

It looks to be a foreshadowing of Lord Tedd, oh hey, I love that guy!

Well, Tedd only need kill Lex Luthor and decide the whole world would be better if he were the supreme ruler and you've got yourselves a 100% rip-off.

How the hell did you get the Justice Lords out of whatever Lord Tedd did?

The thing about the Justice Lords was that the JL met em and fought em and crap, and then later on, there was a big thing about whether the same events were going to repeat but in the same world or something.

Question had a big thing about it being a stable time loop. He was wrong though.

I don't remember if Tedd has ever met Lord Tedd or just subordinate of LT's. And other than a bare minimum of comparison, I still don't see it as a rip off.

If you couldn't tell, I was mostly joking.

Malachite's hand? Odd place for it to show up.

Or this is the beginning of Tedd's descent into LORD TEDD

That would be the Justice League reference I pointed out, yes.

Um...Personally, now that he's introduced another villain for them to focus on, I've forgiven Shive for quite a bit of this fluff. I dunno about anyone else.

I'm in your fanfiction, correcting your spelling.

Which villain did he just introduce?

So we're taking a break from the plot into to get into a little bit of LoZ parodying?

But… I thought the last arc was our break from the plot!
