When the fight happened between Dora and Marten, I was initially not happy about it. I came up with several ways the story could go from there. Then I realized something. I've been reading this comic for a few years now, and Jeph has never been anything but a damn good storyteller. Even if the way he takes a story in a way I don't necessarily like. I may not like it, but he always does it in a pretty kick-ass way that keeps me reading, and I have a lot of respect for that. It's similar to the respect I have for Joss Whedon for being unafraid to kill off beloved characters or sunder beloved relationships if it serves the larger story.
Do I know what's going to happen here? I have my guesses, but in the end that's all they are, guesses. In the end do I really have the first clue about where Jeph is going to go with this great overall story? Nope, not a clue. And really, I'm fine with that. To me, when you figure something out ahead of time, it spoils the fun at least a bit. So I'm more than willing to sit back and wait to see where this all goes.
Of course, reading that he's got the rest of the week scripted, I am tempted to tell him, "DRAW! DRAW LIKE THE WIND, YOU BASTARD!!" No? Nothing? Ah well.
