…Does it get better?
Of course it does, Daredevilers! Following this page, we have TWO more to go before the end of this chapter. That will take us right up to the week of Thanksgiving, if my calculations are correct. From there we are going to take a break for the remainder of the Holiday Season – EXCEPT for Christmas Day itself when a present will be waiting under the tree for all of the good Daredeviler boys and girls. Finally, we will be back to our normal posting schedule on January 8th 2019 with our most AUDACIOUS content yet! The future’s so bright…ah, shucks…you know the rest.
Be here NEXT WEEK for the PENULTIMATE page of the Great Underwater Train Robbery! All seems to be well in hand for our intrepid heroes, except for a bit of artificial intelligence mourning time. Could it really be this SIMPLE? Have the good guys FINALLY won? Find out in seven…
Till next time!

I think I missed something.
Is that Custer with the Admiral in panel #2?
I figured it was a time lapse, but in #3 it would indicate he was still on the train.
Is the Admiral lying about destroying the cargo? I don’t see a military power (any military power) being willing to throw such a powerful resource away. If he is lying did HAL, or Doc, pick up on the deception?
With all the time that has passed from this event to the Island story line, have the Captain and the Doctor become friends, or do they just share a mutual respect?
Boromir’s argument, and look how well that worked for him.
Agreed.
It is a moral paradox, but I think Doc is in the right.
Panels 1 and 2 are a flashback to the briefing that preceded the train heist. We cut back and forth to it pretty regularly a few pages back (Ocean’s 11 style), but as the action on the train heated it up we let it lie for a while, so I can understand how it threw you off.
I’ll bet you were waiting to use the word “Penultimate” somewhere…
You have NO IDEA.
HAL needs time to process… Does that mean he needs time to process their mother’s death, or does that mean that Custer literally made his last stand, and is half alive, after HAL made a split second decision to split him in twain?
Does HAL need time to “process” Custer, using the spider bot to weave together Custer’s living half? HAL probably doesn’t want Doc to see Custer, till after HAL does his best to save his brother’s ally.
