Wednesday is here to reap everyone's soul. So if you would be so kind, please make an orderly line to make this process go smoother. I only have all day to do this and would like to finish early if possible.

I wonder if she is, like, the mother of Bill E. Cayoate or something.

French accent? A reference to when Riff and Doc did stuff like lazer cannon --> Mr. 'Li Zurecain Non'

Kira eh. Now that is an interesting name.

Great to see Lorna again.

Er, wait. Kira was the one on the phone in the ref comic? Is that what I'm getting from this?

I think the ref comic is to show, who is Wilcott's wife in this comic.
At least, that's how I interpreted it.

Did we just get an "origin story" on why Lorna was always so tough and judgy? I mean, if Wilcott was cheating on her constantly, that would explain her behaviour today. I love the recasting of a character that, let's be honest, was a bit of a stereotype and a one-bit joke at the beginning.

I was reading it as Kira was purposely trying to get the two of them to break up.

It would seem so. Especially given the “maybe jealous, maybe?” line…

(I don’t think this really qualifies as ‘spec’…)
Given the timeline (and location) of the current comics, I suspect we may soon [have some possible spec appear] (and likely led to [some more spec as well -Z])

I think that is highly unlikely taking into account that Torg has childhood memories of Riffs father.
Him disappearing in 1973 would imply that Riff and Torg were born in the 60s...

Willcot is still young and married at this point, the timetable wouldn't work out. It just show the first appearance of Dr. Lorna. With that said, I was starting to think the the third book, the one with three hearts, [was treading into spec territory -Z], as I was started to consider Farhan already start making the book to which he give power to, even before he imprison his victim in.

But with hat new comic, an other possibility raise for this third person.

I am not sure Wilcott actually cheated on her, at least not at this point in the comic, but I think Kira was intentionally creating a wedge between them precisely because she had a thing for him.

If you look up spec in a dictionary, this would be the provided example.
