I'm still not exactly following this "Abridged Theory"/exposition dump. What the hell are they talking about and how exactly is this suppose to work?

So far, the nonsense just isn't making sense... like usual. Also, again, I don't get how this world is still alive. At least there's only one more issue left...

I feel like saying 'it doesn't really make any sense' is redundant, since I say that with every issue...but now the story doesn't even seem to know what it's doing or where it's going.

I guess what they're saying is that someone created a super-secret formula for a Utopian society (because everyone agrees on what that is, right?) and that it could work if all the impediments to were removed...and that it resides in a single person who knows how to implement it...and now that evil dude has control of the world (somehow?) he can use it to...umm...do more evil (or in a shock twist ending, SAVE US ALL! Thanks, Evil Empire...who knew you were right all along?)

Ugh, I had to skim just to get through this. The dialogue is just so clunky and the greater commentary is just....I don't get it at all. Other than apparently thinking sex is super deviant in any form except missionary in a dark room once a fortnight, I'm not really sure what this is even about. Still.

Seems like the art team stopped giving a crap, and I really can't blame them.

Yeah, I was noticing that, especially in the scene where they're sitting around the table.

It would appear that the laws of perspective have been trashed too.

A few Star Trek novels that cover "future history" toy with this. World War III and the Post-Atomic Horror freaked out humanity and everyone decided "We've got to get our act together, fast."

This makes Star Trek "post-cyberpunk," I suppose.

That cover with the overtly hostile sheep is hilarious.
