It's basically Apokalips with smaller firepits, so I'm not surprised.

Shite, I should have realised that from the start.

(I think the Magic Mirror-esque bits in the Melenctha issue started this line of thinking...)

Anyway, does anyone think we'll see the shift ship, or whatever it was called, again? If the planet in the latest issue is Apokalips, did the shift ship come from New Genesis?

It wouldn't surprise me if some sort of New Genesis riff comes to play, like "they are behind the Century Babies/Drummer"

So hey. Has anybody heard any news about #26? Is it ever coming out?

THE SUSPENSE!

Seems really weird that this should be on the scheduled horizon and yet... no word. Not even a theme, yet. Is it the 'last episode' theme, or 'New Gods', a futures theme, the submarine adventure one, the spam-in-a-cabin issue? The PoMo issue? The Warhol Presents a Factory Work Called... issue?

Or will Snow just punch people for twenty-two pages?

I'd actually really like to see Snow spend an entire issue just punching people.

He'd be more likely to simply stand there and freeze the blood in their brain (probably while reading Wired).

He also seems to favour the crotch-kick, to an extent.

An entire issue exploring the theme of the some huge inexplicable aspect of society loving to see people hit in the crotch. It practically is a genre, isn't it? All the earmarks, anyway.

But, no: punching people. At least two punches per page. Lots of nine-panel pages. Showing ten punches each. And then the world explodes and very few of the ongoing plots are capable of surviving the disaster. Nice closer of Snow saying something pithy, Jakita rolling her eyes, and Drums humping a the last television set in the solar system. Followed by a twenty-seventh issue containing nothing but totally white pages, for twice the regular price, but polybagged. Call it the Apocalypse/2012 issue and sell it packaged with a tab of something nice. And a pair of 3D spex.

I guess I'm still in shock that 26 and 27 are really going to be the LAST issues.

Wasn't this touted as a kerrrazy (and in no way irritating) possible final issue to The Invisible, as its ending lumbered into sight? On these forums, I mean.

As drawn by Frank Quitely?

Issue 27 will be shot entirely from Warren's camera phone.

£20, please.

But (more) seriously, does anything else have to happen in twennyseve beyond confrontation and defeat of The Two?

Everything else is a loose end that doesn't quite have to be wrapped up:

* Jakita finding out who her mummy and daddy be
* Saving Private Chase
* What happened on the Nautilus
* Whatever happened to the 4th Fictionaut?

It could either be the return of the space gods the Four made a deal with, the launching of Wilder's shiftship, or some combination of the two.

Jakita already found out about at least her father. Snow told her in issue twenty-four.
