Naturally, I’m a bit disappointed

… though not with the story itself. I absolutely love the flashback and the revelation that Johnson is practically running a criminal syndicate, ready to eliminate anyone standing in his way. What disappoints me is the choice of Goliath. Other possibilities—even other large primates—would have been far better and more original (Mandrill, Baboon, Orangutan, etc.). I’m also let down because Teddy had promised a truly brutal installment with issue 84, but that didn't happen. I’m worried that in issue 85, an animal supposed to be "wild"—and drugged up, no less—will turn as gentle as a lamb; personally, I’d prefer he kept his primal "state" and his violence, treating Cynthia like a sex object fit only to be impregnated, both before and after.
And then, I don't like this mix of romantic feelings... originally, Bill and Beef bought Cynthia to make her a slave, and now they talk about her as if they were competing for her love—or as if they were in love with her themselves. I find it ridiculous to shy away from the actual premise and try to turn it into a romance, the way so many publications do. Cynthia blurts out "I love you" or "my love" at random... No, she uses her partners just as much as they use her; it’s pretty simple.
Anyway, I’ll stop airing my regrets now and congratulate Teddy on the long-awaited return of LF after nearly seven months away.
