The eyelashes killed me.
Amazing.

Also, “Isla del Murdermuerte” sounds like “Isla del Mar de la Muerte”, kinda.
Was it intentional, or is this a bit of unexpected layered awesomeness?

That is one sassy dinosaur in the last panel of page 2. Great stuff, guys.

Im guessing intentional, my experience of the ISB is that Sims rivals Moore and Eco for layered referencing and semiotics. Also, that was once again, awesome fellows. Really good lettering, its true. The `…veil that seperates the living from the dead and bring yoruself back from the dead’ line felt a little clunky, but that’s seriously my only quibble. I look forward to the stunning conclusion; I just can’t accept that Solomon Stone has met his end and hold out for an amazing plot twist.

Sweet Mustang, Solomon!

This is awesome. I love it. Can’t wait to see the next issue!

“Isla del Murdermuerte.” It’s like you punched me right in my mind.

I’m gonna shoot you in the goddamn face, indeed.
Great stuff!

I have to say, though — that last page is totally a downer. I was all ready for Solomon Stone to accomplish great things.
When you blew him up like that, I was stunned.

That last panel is beautiful.
Tyrannosaurus Hex is THE character find of 65,000 B.C.

49 magic missiles as a first strike (I counted them) from a dinosaur with a itty bitty witch hat.
Splendid. Just…splendid.

This is just too freakin’ cool. I hope the Action Age takes over the entire comic book industry and re-builds it from scratch.

The first issue had its charms, but the shamefaced dinosaurs in this one delight me no end. Plus, I will never tire of cartoon animals in hats. Keep up the good work!

Did I mention I hate you forever for coming up with DinoSorcery before me?!

Looking forward to the concluding installment! It’s been a great read so far!
