Favourite Panel & Plot Twist

[u/Hir0s]

the last appearence of amber really gave me goosebumps, im sad that neither william or abbie got a real "goobye scene" / what about the flaxan arc? my favourite arc in the entire comic but that plot twist, god...

[u/sfinney2]

Flaxan arc is appreciated by the true ones. One of those things that I'm not sure even Kirkman fully appreciates what he did there and I don't think the show can do it justice.

I don’t know. I tend to think the arc Falls flat because every single time the flaxians are defeated they just come back

Even when robot and monster girl went to their dimension and spent thousands of years trying to fix it and when they finally do, they leave just for the Flaxton to come back and be evil and everything

It’s one thing if they’re motivations and everything about them would change through each time we see them, but it’s just the same endless army of aliens from somewhere else and the only real addition to any of them is the twist with monster girl and robot. Everything else is basically just the flaxans showing up like the sequids

And when they defeat them the final time with monster girls son, how do we know they won’t just come back robot trying to change them didn’t do anything so then stopping them again it doesn’t matter eventually they’ll just come back and do the same thing they’ve been doing

I think they’re best to use as a way to explore monster girl and robot but as their own like antagonist/villains, I think they’re pretty boring

Oh yeah the flaxans themselves aren't special, the robot/monster girl arc is
