Issue 928

Though determined, Jay was anything but impractical. She knew that her chances were extremely slim. But she had to try – and her stubborn nature would allow no option other than exhausting, literally, all job possibilities in town. Jay was in the middle of crossing a particularly long stretch of one of the suspended wood plank and rope bridges that connected many of the strange mountaintops that held the buildings of the town. She leaned on the rope railing, the bridge swaying slightly with her weight. Below, three different waterfalls all met in a large, singular pool. Ferns grew in large tufts on the edges of the pool, and Hegelobs, small fish-like petpets, swam about in the pool. A flock of Quintilcs flew by, their paper-like wings fluttering lazily. Shenkuu is paradise, Jay thought. But I need more than paradise. I need meaning. Purpose.

On the Rocks by Huntress
I love this interpretation of the in-world effects of Flashpocalypse, the little tombstones make such cute Halloween decorations, perfect for the Haunted Woods really! I like that you inserted them in various places in the panels, that way their presence is established before the tombstones are shown in the apple bobbing barrel. The Deserted Fairground being actually deserted looks comically redundant.
As always, I love recognising all the actual Neo items you include in your comics. Tombstone cobbler is a perfectly valid spooky food that would definitely not look out of place in the spooky foods shop. This comic makes me dream of a collab with Ghostkomorichu's spooky chef Echoplasm ;u; Much nostalgia.

I have got to give a shout-out to this comic, I was really impressed by the art, the setting, the lighting in the Battledome scenes, the character design not only working with the challenge of Uni anatomy but also making the most of an adorable Robot pet's expressions... the punchline, with the fighter's comical expression and the comedic timing of their fall, got a good laugh from me.
