Oh, you thought we were done introducing characters? Yeah, that’s just what we wanted you to think!
Agent Mist here is making his on-camera Fans debut as well as his IW debut… sort of. This is the first time we’ve seen him as a young man. Remember that possible-future dystopia the Fans visited that made them paranoid about alternate timelines and such, which motivates Agent Jones’ “concern” here? Mist was basically running it. So Jones, who’s been the Fans’ frenemy for many months, should probably be aiming more of his concern at this ambitious young hotshot who knows things he doesn’t.If we were doing this plot today, I’d probably cast Mist as a Scott Pruitt, somebody appointed to head the FIB despite openly opposing its mission of protecting ordinary humans from the supernatural– or, if you must, being “worryingly moderate” about it. “Hey, demons are good for us! A little healthy fear keeps us on the straight and narrow.” But in 2003’s climate, we assumed he’d have to hide his allegiances and work his way up the ranks.

The current climate practically worships self-declared villains =/
I enjoy blatantly evil villains in fiction. In real life people like that are downright scary.
This is definitely the most confusing part of the crossover from the perspective of a Walkyverse fan.
Yeah, I’m finding that most of the stuff from this crossover that confused me when I first read it is still confusing to me. Unfortunately, T’s don’t really shed much light on all of this, and I don’t feel like an archive binge so I’ll probably stay confused until it’s done.
* T’s notes
Hellnostrils? Enchanted Tylenol?
Yeah I’m lost.
“Hellnostrils”? Stop making up hellanatomy, Obviously Evil Suit Dude.
At least it wasn’t the hell bellybutton. No demons there, but lint balls like you wouldn’t believe.
…and anyway, by the time you get to the Helltoenails, you’ve run out of all the really sad, pathetic monsters.
The Toenail of Satan is a Go Nagai villain. Don’t underestimate him just because he’s… Actually, it’s impossible to underestimate him because he’s just that lame.
That’s a Hellybutton, you heathen.
Larry King?

That happens to me a lot with certain comics. It’s especially bad for me in Skin Horse, where I find it really hard to actually see the grins instead of the clowns sometimes.
Ah shoot… LOVE the extra dialogue, but this means I’m going to have to go through the rest of these at a much slower pace. Chronic Pain/Disabilities and not being able to focus suck! >.>
