I think the idea is that he’s aiming for a very specific balance between the factions? ‘Cause like Sal said, Linda with an army of super soldiers and nothing to hold her back is, uh….
SEMME too powerful? I honestly can’t remember the last mission they went on where they didn’t get their asses kicked. And in fact they don’t seem to have gone on a mission period since Head Alien died, unless you count the time they busted in on a goddamn segway heist.
And since it’s a pretty safe bet that HA isn’t really dead, does that imply that he’s faking his death in order to make his side seem like the underdog, so that the balance-obsessed third-party will aid his cause?
(Oddly, this seems familiar, as if it were from an old dream…)

Also, never entirely understood why the Cheese did this.
To be honest, I’m not sure Willis really thought that through, either. Was the Cheese’s character fully fleshed out by this point?

prooobs not a great idea.

maybe Mike’s Mike-ness has gone unchecked for too long

IIRC correctly, HA *is* dead, but his remains are currently being “re-grown” in a Martian Rez Tube.

Somebody got it! 😀
Joyce has unlocked the power of the Taco Bell Poops; the arms race that follows will forever leave its mark upon history
The pages of history will not be stained in mere blood.
SEMME may be powerful, but they really don’t seem to do anything with that power when Head Alien’s not around.
Yeah, they already know where HA base is, they should go full force in, destroy it, capture a couple of aliens and maybe even Monkey Master himself.
Ohhhhhhh the balance fixated third party fucking around with a good thing because they think balance is more important.
On the other hand – SEMME, powerful? Since WHEN? They screw up more often than not.
Hey, you can be uber-powerful and still screw everything up… 😀
I honestly forgot the cheese even showed up before his big reveal. Shows how long its been since I reread IW! I guess.
What exactly is happening in panels 2-3?
All I see are MM’s hands and a buzzing sound effect, but it’s showcased like this is very significant.
