Well, El and the Sons have both become much more watchable over this arc. I'm still worried they aren't enough to carry the comic while Ardon is in full unlikable mode...but it's a step in the right direction for those characters.

I wonder if we're now headed towards ressurecting Odie, or if that will be put off for a while. We could desperately use some exposition and growth from 45. He still has less personality than pre-brain juice Peanut.
