Very nicely put, indeed.

I liked that little “nice try” and the lipstick signature. Nice to know that Abby is at least one step ahead of SISX. “I don’t foresee any difficul–” no, I don’t suppose you did.

I got this odd psychic request to ask you to consider doing a crossover story about Abigail hunting for Jack the Ripper.

Can’t say where It came from…

That would be AWESOME!

Thanks for the kind words, tkg!

Yeah, cutting off the letter abruptly like that was Evin’s idea, and it is indeed a nice touch. It implies so much with so little.

Yep, Abby’s after Jack – out to avenge her “mother” Jehan Bumpass.

You’re missing a step though, T.Gatto…I was counting on you to request we actually make a comic about Abigail’s hunt for Jack the Ripper (as you have been asking to see more Jack from the word go). Then, I was going to be all coy about it and say stuff like, “wait and see!” and “You never know!”

Well, Timothy, without giving away too much about the Daredevils’ next adventure, I can confirm that it will indeed take place in much more “shallow waters.”

The tone of our next story is much more in line with the first adventure, Secret of the Beaufort Sea…however, with some lingering darkness spilling over in the aftermath of Pitch Black Day.

Can’t wait to see what you make of it!

When it comes to Abby, “as if” is a dangerous word …

I have to say, this is a fantastic ending to this particular chapter. The best part is where the assassin never finishes his or her letter stopping at that final incomplete word as if silenced so fast he never even stood a chance.

Am I seeing a connection between Abby dressing as a prostitute, and hunting someone, and the previously mentioned Jack the Ripper?

I’m thinking he is in for quite a surprise, and I would not want to be him when she locates the bastard (Not that I’d want to be him anyway).

How nice that the very last image from PBD is a goodbye kiss from Abby. Especially since the first page shows her acting brash.

@Director SISX: Need-to-know is a fine principle for secret work, but it is difficult to foresee what exactly your operatives need to know. Someone tasked with a surprise and furtive murder really needs to know if the assigned target is actually in the process of provoking the very same thing. That knowledge might deter from making assumptions about apparent obliviousness to lurking dangers.

Tangentially, if you guys could update Bram Stoker, you can do the same with Kipling. Kim should be in his later fifties by now (1937). Abby could team up with him, and the Great Game could tie in. (Fun fact: In about that timeframe, the Cambridge Five were hired by the NKWD to infiltrate the SIS.) And maybe Abby could develop a slight inclinination towards a gentleman with gray hair, dry wit and craggy charme? (OK, gotta stop, this is just wishful thinking, and it’s wrong on so many levels.)

That said, after you really put the Deep Dive into the DDD, I hope that you will send them into shallow waters – literally and figuratively – some day. Wilhelmshaven lies at an estuary, and Peenemuende at an intricate sound. They might have to hide in broad daylight, for a change. Against Stukas, nonetheless.

You can probably sense that I’m thrilled about what comes next.
