I think folks are mostly safe to finish up with the Morrison arc, which was quite good, but I'm in for the last issue because I really dig the characters and am happy to spend some extra time with them. Still, there's a final issue to go, so we'll see what happens. Peel doesn't seem to me to be worth the payoff here. I also must admit losing the mystery of Mr. There are some leaps in logic on this one and after awhile, the pretend gylphs began to grate, mostly because Gibson just isn't up to the task asked of him by the script. ![]() Peel is about to start regretting her new career choice as a housewife.

Peel's contributions to the fight, and Steed's resolution to the final game is so spot-on it almost makes me wish they'd resurrect the show with new actors and let Morrison be the lead writer. He does an excellent job of balancing Steed and Mrs. In typical Morrison fashion we get an ending that meets our expectations and yet surprises you at the same time. The ending to the four part Grant Morrison "episode" was absolutely brilliant. The action never stops as we move closer to the end of this series of reprints of the comic adventures of the iconic British television adventurers.
