matt_zimmerScript for the third to last issue of The Un-Iverse is finished!
UnComix Tales: The Terran Wars #5: Chapter Seventeen "The Madness Of Empress Amy" (Un-Iverse #88)
What can I tell the Dreamwidth Faithful?
I don't think a ton of people will like the issue.
I saw the third to last episode of "Lost" entitled "Beyond The Sea" and I fucking loved it! Because it should NOT have been the third to last episode ever. It revolving around an entirely new cast sincerely pissed Lost fans off because they wanted to see fall-out from the devastating previous episode and we got an origin story mythology episode instead!
It was the fact that it should NOT have been the third to last episode and focused on the wrong characters which is why I liked that.
To be fair to The Un-Iverse, I don't remotely go as far as Lost did. Much of Our Regular Un-Iverse Cast is very much present. But they aren't the main focal characters. Instead we focus on the escalating madness of new villain Empress Amy and the added complications it gives The Terran Wars, right when Earth cannot afford them. But I expect many people to be frustrated by the focus and grumble, "Where the hell are Bernadette and Otterman?" And I'm okay with that.
What else? The issue feels very adult to me in a way the rest of the saga does not. Not just the violence but the sexual themes are far more explicit than ever before. But the adultness is not due to explicitness. It's due to the fact that none of that stuff feels egregious, overboard, or exploitative. The fact that it's played straight instead of as softcore porn is why it feels adult.
