This episode was INTENSE!!! I was waiting to see what epilogue would come this time, and I was not disappointed in the least.

Very nice take on the Cosmic Owl's feelings. In the end Prismo's sacrifice really wasn't worth it, was it? Damn you, Martin...

I theorize that the little flower is going to eventually grow into a new plant-arm. Also, I assume the third panel is a flashback to PB's "experiment"? The crazy/determined look on her face ties in well with your general portrayal of her. Science before all else.

Please don't let this be true.

Someone actually brought up a really good point on the tumblr asks.

The Comsic Owl can forsee someone's death (but presumably is not allowed to interfere). After the party, he kept trying to get Prismo to play a couple more games. Might've been because he knew once he left, it meant his buddy was gonna bite the big one.

Even if he can be a bit of a jerk at times, it kinda makes you feel for the guy, huh?

Whoah dude. If Prismo is the Old man's dream and the Cosmic owl appears to people in dreams to warn them of death, then it makes sense the two were close. Prismo's the Mighty's entire existence was just a prophetic dream, warning him of his imminent demise as soon as he wakes up, or the cosmic owl created Prismo the Mighty so by putting the guy in endless sleep so that he would never have to die!

Poor Jake... but at last the actions he made, recieved the unexpected consequences...

PB... what the?....  anyway, if she won't tell about Finn's mother, Finn's bro might do that!

Wait... killing Simon? what the? if they kill him is like the death of Ace or Whitebeard from One Piece!

Dude, your stuff is always powerful, but this one especially just gives me chills. Very fitting follow-up to a brutal episode.

So many interesting dynamics and moments as ever, but I'll just comment how appropriate it is Finn giving PB a matching scar to the one she gave him.

All man, as if the content of the comic itself didn't give me enough feelz and food for thought, but you threw in the Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote, too! He died right when my class was done reading his book Chronicle of a Death Foretold; it was both sad and creepy.

What I don't quite get was the PB panels, Why did she try to attack Finn? Was to see the flower's reaction? 

Stopping herself from asking was she trying to protect Finn?

Also can we see Marceline's reaction

notacukoofangirl121 In reply to ??? [2014-04-29 02:06:29 +0000 UTC]

I have a strong feeling Finn's flower being a future weapon for defense. And PB definitely wanting to see what happened with him.

We'll probably see something about Finn's mother near the end of season 6. (although I'm personally holding out that Susan is Finn's mother)

Simon dying...I don't want to see that...it was hard enough when Prismo died.

The AT community wishes to file a complaint for the ripping out of many hearts. The more I reread this the darker it gets, which fills me with yet again more uncertainty for the future of AT.

Jeez, this is a bummer.  I was not expecting Prismo the all-powerful to bite the big one.  I mean, from a story point I see why as the guy was literally a dues ex machina.  But with one life lost, one is born.  Lich-Baby is so adorable I can't wait to see how he'll turn out under Tree Trunks and Mr. Pig's care.

I don't see how the quote here is relevant.  I guess I see the Cosmic Owl as lying by hiding Prismo's death from him.  It explains why he wanted to spend more time with Prismo even after the party ended.  That really gives the poor lug some pathos.  Mad feels man, good job.

I can't to see how things will shake up in 'The Tower' with Finn meeting up with evil Martin and the other cosmic criminals.  Things are heading for a climax if this is the last season of Adventure Time (but I hope not).  So all in all, a great comic.  As usual.

I love PB's psycho grin.  She and Finn now have matching scars!

Follow up question: PB's outfit looks familiar.  I know I've seen it before and you do have a penchant for rehashing outfits from classic cartoons (Recess, Gravity Falls, ect).  It's driving me nuts!  I know I've seen it somewhere but where??

Sorry, but I don't see it.  Winry wears a white shirt and skirt, not with a jacket.  I almost want to say Buffy the Vampire Slayer but I'm not sure.  It just looks familiar.
