Which is funny, because one of my big visual touchstones for Dr. Zarkov is actually Sean Connery in OUTLAND

Good question -- Lavender Jack dropped once a week in one 40-panel scroll, so any recap was slotted into the first few panels or woven in as dialogue-based exposition. In either case I tried to integrate it as seamlessly as possible, and now I'm trying to remove it just as seamlessly.

Correcto. It's funny how sometimes the relevant plot details for the Sunday summaries only account for about half of what happens in the dailies. Guess that's what happen when you have a chatty comic.

This is from the upcoming Lavender Jack Volume 2 collection, incidentally — preorders for Volume 1 are still open for a little bit longer, if you want to get in at the beginning: bsky.app/profile/dark...

Tall vertical panel from Volume 2 of LAVENDER JACK in which Sir Mimley Bastrop, white tie formal, reflects on his first encounter with the Black Note.

Getting each season of LAVENDER JACK down to 330 pages requires some cuts, and a common victim is the regular recap material you need in a weekly Webtoon but not a Dark Horse TPB. The panel below is one such casualty — which is a shame, because I love @jennmanleylee.myatproto.social's colors here

It's a little awkward: at the top of the page you have to switch the reading order from "newest first" to "oldest first" and then manually enter the date of the strip you'd like to start with. From there on in you should be good to go!

(Here's a thread to help narrow down that date, if you need)

Absolutely. He's even got the eyebrows I give Flash, he'd have been perfect.

For a long while I've thought Cameron Monaghan would be a great on-screen Flash Gordon. He's physically dynamic and good and riding the line between being funny and being the straight man, and that's where Flash lives. Plus at this point he's got a lot of practice making green screen sci fi stuff

We'll definitely get into it more, but suffice to say the storm's eye is a sort of battery that banks a person's bio-electricity over an extended period of time. It has a protective function, but it also has a part to play in the use of the galvanic cutlass.
