Only 8 issues into the series and the Warlord's dead? Now you know they aren't going to let that happen. But it looks like it. And if not Warlord, then Regine's dead. After the giant crab attacked them last issue it looks as if Travis and Regine are dead as they lay on the beach side by side with outstretched hands touching. But Tara doesn't like the looks of this, so she cuts Travis and leaves the bloody knive in Regine's hand. When the rest of the Royal Court arrive to claim the body of their fallen god, Regine is found to be still breathing. Tara orders her medical care so she can then be hanged. Meanwhile Terry, Alexa and Brovis are trying to sort their own situation out. Which really means that Brovis is trying to figure out the best way to take advantage of Terry's arrival, so that he can gain control of the Airplane and conquer all of Skataris. He's really laying it on think too. Anyways it looks like all is lost until Terry finally start up the plane, restoring power to Travis. He comes swooping in, but not in time to save Regine. In his rage he starts beating up on the Skartaran people, until one of them finally gives it up that it was Tara who was behind the duplicity. And that's how the issue ends, with Travis looking towards Tara like the hunter who's getting ready to disembowel Bambi. Bruce Jones, of course, does an awesome job with the script. And Bart Sears' new style is getting better and better. Both of their styles are coming together very smoothly for this series.
