Our villains make efficient use of their time

Rereading this page, I'm struck that Asmodea is likely to be in a love triangle with Kim and Vonnie aping the same relationship between Fredersen/Rotwang/Hel in Metropolis. I'd be surprised if the Asmodeas don't merge in the future to solidify the issue, and Kim is both Rotwang and Dark Maria already - why not pick up Joh, too?
Life has a weird way of sucker punching you. I was a huge fan of this comic years ago, and just rediscovered it today. I have seen so many beautiful stories lost over the years. Comics were left unfinished as the artist's life went in a different direction or, sadly, ended. It was such a feeling of relief to know that this wonderful, rich story is still being told. I also felt, in that moment, a painful nostalgia for the person I was 12 years ago reading this comic before, and how that person is almost lost to me. In a way, coming back to this comic has brought a little of my old self back to me. I think I needed that. Thank you, Ms. Diaz, for your years of hard work and creativity. I will eagerly await each new issue
So they don't all know each other's identities... Interesting. *adds more thumbtacks and colored string to the conspiracy board*
Yeah! Wayyy back in DS #97, the Morningstar says that, aside from Belphegor (who's the recruiter), none of the Dark Scientists are allowed to know each others' identities. But then in the following page Vonnie's spy (which she deployed in Asmodea's house in DS #83) inadvertently discovered Asmodea was a Dark Scientist.
I dunno why, but I still find those two adorkable. Even if they're evil schemers.
"and most of the fish"
Hmm. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
