Poor Six! Nothing's going his way today.

This may feel like a jarring shift from the previous page. So, a moment ago they were in some clandestine supervillain lair and now they're in space? What the heck?!! Well, the geography of how things are laid out in the Neptune-Triton Commonwealth can be hard to grasp intuitively, and I don't belabor the details of any of it within the story, at least if I can help it. Most of the people here live in orbiting colonies over Triton and Neptune. In this case, Rana's lair was inside the colony they're flying away from in the first panel, which looks like an unassuming space rock. Specifically, her lair is underwater inside of the colony, but that doesn't really matter. I probably could have thrown in a page or two showing Six and Shadid making their way out of the lair and to the hangar, then escaping… but that seemed unnecessary.





That's all for this week, folks. Be kind to animals, drive safely, and don't ingest greater than half your body weight in polyester.
