Driller is a killer, Driller a real killer.

Usually i try to choose a quote that i felt on some level, but this time i just choose Fun, Driller is a fun character he makes me laugh, and he has a catch phrase better than most of the idiot wrestlers who are looking for something to catch on with the audience.
I feel this is one those stories, where there will be scarce details, we saw many many aliens so far, and we don't know any of their races, or where they are from, and that will probably hold true till the end, because the writer is not trying to milk a few issues more, and he is not trying to make a comic franchise that can be sold, and become its own world.
its his usual honestly, and its what i prefer, i don't think someone like gaiman was thrilled with the dozen spin offs, from his Masterpiece in sandman either, it just reduces the overall quality of the product, as is the same with watchmen, with the very mediocre, before watchmen.
This feels pretty much like watching a movie, that i feel its a crime to not read them back to back, but i have been on a long lay off from comics, and not really comfortable yet with my pacing, and how much i would like to read.
Anyway further conspiracy is brewing, we might actually just go 15 issues racking mysterious then revelations in the last half of the series.
