the eagle in Tommy's goggles on the cover - ah yes, there's no relief. If the eagles came to fix it all, there would be no story.

gillen mentioning that hans does molly's whips as a brush made me realise they kind of look like the lasso tool when you zoom out. Fitting for an artist

Hans is doing a lot of volume and fine value work that makes Tommy and Sophie look more "real" in parts of this one than previous chapters, to my eye - I like how that choice pairs with the somber reality of this issue

The sibling ""bonding moment"" at the change of the watch really takes on new meaning once you hit the ending. No, you won't be keeping in contact. FUCK!

I know the Grail Hospital is weird and postapocalyptic, hence the shattered vending machine; but I can't help but assume Tommy punched it open in grief when Betty died, since he's fingering the damage as he describes feeling like a jinx

Aaaand the half party kill. I'm struggling to see why callum would do something THIS monumentally awful, but I'm sure it's part of the manosphere/parenting commentary.

I suppose not wanting to go home could be the lure here, since violet mentions dead players dont vote and callum hears molly's whip propose ruling DIE... and to ground it in reality, maybe his hook is fantasy sexual availability versus the real life chud spurning he rightfully gets?

I wonder if Callum is as silly as he has been or if that's been an act?
