Also, I think we should maybe pay more attention to that cat just dropping off the roof out of nowhere (apparently by accident) when Oscar went for his gun.

I'm torn on whether Catmaster could have done it. On the one hand, he treasures his cats. On the other, he is clearly willing to employ them in his heists, as seen in the invisible bridge.

See this is why you shoot and then say the cool line.

If Oscar hadn't been run interference on by both Cio and the cat he'd most likely still have managed to shoot her first.

Jump into the well...

This is the first lame thing that's happened in this comic.

You have Oskar, a really cool antagonist with a lot of history with one of the story's main characters, who is then (seemingly) killed by some nobody who shows up at the beginning, has no personality aside from being mildly annoying and is killed off only to turn inexplicably turn up now and kill Oskar? Not a fan at all.

I don't think he's dead, honestly. Ventilated badly, yes, but he's a red devil, he was designed to take punishment like this.

If nothing unexpected can happen, nothing is interesting. "Main character" should not be a shield against everything but another main character (or some character arc thing). Plus, Oscar has been painted as an antagonist from the very beginning imo.

He's probably not dead, but definitely out of the fight for now.

I'd say he should get the Princess treatment showing Allison's increased competency relative to the last time a demon got blown up in front of her but Allison's still more or less out of action isn't she?

Honestly I think the very fact that Abbadon chose this to be a flank shot rather than a gut shot is a sign Oscar might still have a few more pages in him.

e: Oscar is falling backwards in the second to last panel, maybe he'll tumble off the ship?

Felicia's overall purpose in this comic is to show Allison how you can't just recklessly use other people (like Oscar does) without the consequences eventually catching up with you.

An important lesson for a budding Royal.

I'm not feeling the return of Felicia but, hey, comics been stellar up to now so I'll wait and see how how it fully plays out.

I will be annoyed if she becomes an ally after all is said and done no matter how it goes down.

It would be kind of interesting if she did become a pursuer. I mean, it's not hard to imagine Allison would feel really wretched every time she was confronted with righteous anger for her misdeeds. Allison is still basically a decent person and also still pretty neurotic, she is perfectly capable of being truly tormented by knowing she allowed an apparently decent person to die through her inaction and poor judgement. And from Zoss's chiding, it seems like her path to Royalty is not also going to be a path to sociopathy.

It's illustrating why Incubus' deal is a bad idea. Unrestrained ambition, treating everyone as disposable in service of your personal goals, has consequences. You don't just get to be a sociopath and expect other people to lay down and let you get away with it.

Felicia is perfect for it because she's the most similar to Allison, being the only other human on the crew, and also the only one who was sacrificed in cold blood. Even leaving Cio behind could be seen as a spur-of-the-moment decision, but killing Felicia was Oscar's plan from the start. He decided to literally sacrifice a person to help advance his own goals, and now he's paying the price.

So it's very thematically on point, and, also, extremely cool.
