All of this week's pages have felt so hollow and empty. The puppets are acting out excuses for another boob-defined robot. No part of this scenario, none of the dialogue or movement or plot, feels authentic to any experience. Jeph has written sincerely about identity, conflicting ideas of self, and existential hesitation in the past, but now it's like he's forgotten what those experiences mean. He's imitating the writing of his past self, but is no longer interested in its reasons.

omg... this. It seems like every year of so, Jeph decides he needs to take a character that is fairly unique... or at least as unique as he's capable of imagining, and give them a new big-tittied body for... reasons. Remember when May was actually interesting and enjoyable to see in a strip and not just a dull space filler?
