Very entertaining chapter. Vizh and Icy make a great duo, as both are quite, ah, let's say literal minded. And I liked the set up with the villainess.

I've been meaning to do something with Morgosa ever since I referenced her back during the SR1066 stuff. I've finally got there.

The homage to Arthurian legend reminded me to ask you if you've had a chance to read Marvel's "Captain Britain and the M13" series. Its great fun, and reminds me of some of your Lair Legion chapters (eclectic cast, roots in English mythology, doesn't take itself too seriously, etc).

I'm afraid I've not seen it. My budget for buying comics has currently suffered a 100% cut.
