Ooh! Time window! TIME! Can the Lantern keep the self-destroying island from self-destroying long enough for the repairs? It didn't hold the queens for long, but they are struggling now. Maybe it could buy some more time?

I don't think either that Agatha went full queen earlier, but it was clearly a sign that she has the potential to. But I think she will do so in the Heterodyne Castle, and using the waters of the Dyne, not here on Atlantis some unknown island.

Ah, here it is. No wonder I thought of it, I was just rereading that bit earlier.

We haven't seen that from the other end; and Agatha just looks like Agatha. Though I suppose a queen who doesn't want to look like a queen doesn't have to.

"Are you any good" . . .

Bang's getting her needling right back at her, isn't she?

I wonder whether the Giant Flying Rats are attacking, or hoping to hitch a ride?

What fun Friday's page is - at least, for the artists and colourist.  Our protagonists, not so much.

I honestly did not see that coming. I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t a cetacean the size of a country.

Ugh, I hope Albia will put a stop to the ridiculousness. These last pages have been too over the top even for GG and I’m all ready to move to something slightly less silly.

Yeah, there's kind of an implausible number of monsters.

-- I forgot for a moment who her mother is and thought when I first saw the first panel that she was just yelling "Mama!" out of fear. But then I wondered why she didn't do it sooner, when the battling queens first appeared. Thought the Heterodyne could handle it? Wanted to see whether the Heterodyne could handle it?

She thought *she* could handle it, most likely.  Or at least, that she & this team could.

Are we about to see Agatha's idea from the previous page?

And does it have anything to do with that great big crack in Lucrezia's current head?

And is Albia really that out of it?

Well, as Lucrezia says, she has killed many queens. At least we assume she is the reason behind their demise. Or an assassin taking advantage of situations of “flame on the ebb” like she says here about Anglia. Reason behind that maybe something else (perhaps something for our gang to investigate) but it seems likely she has, or has had, access to weaponry that is fatal to the Queens. This is of course the clank body and is hopefully still cut off from the other versions of her (I assume there is an original one in wherever the mind implantation engine connects to) but I very much hope Agatha’s idea works, and quick!

I'm not sure whether that had anything to do with the crack in the head or not --

but I suspect there's a bigger one now.
