So… god damn it… we’re just in a completely different world again. Nothing from the last world was wrapped up with the Shadow King or Jamie Braddock. We’re just... onto the next one. There is no rhyme or reason to the pacing of the Cross Time Caper. Excalibur just leaps to a new world, has to wait around for Rachel’s powers to recharge so they can leap again, and sometimes they get stuck for a few days because someone wanders off and gets into trouble. Plot elements are defined that seem like they could go somewhere or have some weight to them, but they never do. Now we’re in Judge Dread world. At least I think it’s Judge Dread world. This sounds like Judge Dread, doesn’t it?
I don’t know. I’ve only seen the Karl Urban movie. And Doug Ramsey and Illyana are running around for no reason. You know what? I’m not going to do any more posts from this issue. Because it doesn’t matter. Nothing that takes place in this comic or the last comic or the one before that is going to matter. Let’s just get on with the end of this thing.
