As per usual, Kid and Keeper are wandering aimlessly. Until...
Now, Kid should remember that he is, well, a kid, with zero experience in the ways of love, or marriage, or romance. So maybe he's terribly ill-suited to intervene in this situation?
Not that Keeper's advice shows that he's any wiser...
I guess the story is over, then, so--
And all of the progress is lost...
Wrong.
Still, in what universe is summoning a mass murderer of women a good idea?
Especially when the person you're trying to scare has already left!
My.
God.
Kid Eternity, you got that woman murdered.
And even worse?!?!
I did warn you this story turned dark, didn't I?
Kid and Keeper return to Earth, but Oswald has fled town. How will they ever find him and bring him to justice?!?
In answer to an earlier query, Rin died in 1932, so yes, he was available to be summoned. This is the second time Kid has summoned an animal. Which paves the way for my Kid Eternity/Legion Of Super-Pets epic story...
But he's not going down easily...
But a dog is not enough when Oswald pulls a knife, so...
This is the boxer's third summoning, which puts him in a tie with Achilles and Mercury for the lead!!
And he beats the crap out of the murdering bastard!
Still, all's well that ends well--especially if it ends by repeating your sexist stereotypes! Because now that Oswald's in Eternity...
Ye gods, what a vile story.

I know I've given the Kid Eternity series grief before, but I have to agree with you this time, Snell. This one is just plain bad on all counts.
ReplyDeleteI get the feeling that the script originally ended with the whole "here we go again" scenario of the couple resuming their bickering due to Xanthippe's influence...but then the writer realized he had several more pages to fill, and had to figure out an even more extreme example of marital discord.
