This was an excellent episode, full of action, the rootin' tootin' RFfiliates way! I think mrscardero was stellar with her work in this episode, creating great special effects (like page 2 panel 4; page 3, panels 3 & 5; and page 7, panel 3, to name a few) and background work. Her production work adds weight, drama and action to the story. cardero weaved a great story, as well, with a good flow from panel to panel and page to page, a lot of laughs (and tears) and a few little things that I found very cool to see... (just by page & panel numbers): page 4, panel 8; page 8 panel 1 ("New Testament Cigarettes"-- I went bananas for that one); page 8 panels 3 & 4.
And, one last thing: The final/splash page for this chapter reminds me so much of Dave Sim and what he would do in Cerebus. The look is amazing. Gothic and surreal all at once.
Wonderful, wonderful chapter.
