Re: Flu Shots Part Five (Ready 12 16)

So I'm going to have to make this a two parter, I can't type like I used to and I have alot to say about this specific issue. Most of it, has to do with the story. I'll start off first with saying there does happen to be alot of regression in this issue, some progression and lots of flashes between that and regressing. Which is awesome, we gotta love that. But where this all breaks down, is the story, the story is just.. When I was reading it with Janus today, I actually got flustered then confused then actually slightly angry.

I think my exact words were, "NO! NO NO NO, Sexy nurse doesn't deserve that!". Even if she was showing off, (Which is entirely out of character for her in the first place. According to everything we know about her.) I think I was more angry with it, that I knew this was going to be the finale. When we had Sexy nurse in other comics, if something happened to her, it was sort of a side gag and she ended up getting revenge for it or reverting near the end of that same issue. All of the time this has happened it really wasn't deserved, but it fit into the story somewhat. This small seemingly stupid little one off gag, has made me so infuriated, that I had to start typing right after I read the new release. Usually I like to sit and analyze everything a little more, but there you have it.

What happened in the comic, isn't at all what I thought was going to happen. Zoe didn't get her comeuppance like what should have happened and instead. Everything was just dropped and forgotten about. Of course they bring the boy into it, so he gets regressed to. In fact, there is so many regressions in this last release, that it actually makes you scratch your head. It seemed.. I don't know, disenfranchised? Heck they got ice cream chick and several other men and women on the beach and then.. everyones.. fine afterwards? Everyones just kinda running around, acting normal, sexy nurse is fine with it. It just seemed really odd and weird. The entire issue has no continuity. If anything, I'd think this was a gag issue and wipe it off the face of the earth from the continuity of the story line. Making it non canon to whats already written. Out of all of the issues of this series, leading up to this super promising finale, this isn't what I was expecting at all.

Eventually sometime tonight when my hands feel better, I'll write about the artwork but I think I have to say. I don't recommend it if your a fan of the series that DT has done here. If your just in it for the transformations, go for it, it's got it in spades and they don't look to awful. Once you get about half way through nearly every panel has some type of transformation going on, like the end of a fireworks display.

But all and all, fans of the series, run.. run as far from this one as possible.
