I’m pretty sure that was a joke, jayjay. Bosstone was saying that line would sound very unusual outside of the context of that particular strip. ---

Dammit, each time this thread pops up again I think there’s a new comic. However, his servers are no longer on life support, so that’s good. ---

Roy’s dad was suspiciously cooperative with Roy… And, that entire bit with V attacking Xykon, O-Chul going badass, the MitD-arranged escape = _less than 10 minutes_. Sheesh. ---

Steve Rogers? Captain America was killed a few years ago. Are they finally resurrecting him? After checking the Wikipedia article["Captain America: Reborn"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America:_Reborn), apparently so. ---

FINALLY! And unfortunately, anti-climactic. Hopefully he used the extra time to crank out the next strip or two. ---

The clouds are more or less a “waiting area” for Mount Celestia. I assume he hasn’t actually gone to his final rest because of his oath. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Still can’t figure out why he’s on that particular cloud… I’m guessing because he died thinking of himself as Lawful Good.
