Alice Grove MCDLT - April 2017
pwhodges:
I'm afraid I'm starting to get the impression that Jeph is getting fed up with having to fit in writing Alice Grove alongside QC, and so is hurrying to reach an end. This would help explain the lack of clarity in showing the details of what's happening in the last few strips.

Alice or Sedna. But my money's on Alice. To be the one in the white space armor AND to win the match. Of course, if the "refs" step in, who knows...

It would seem that the immortals have their own custom armor, but I suppose Sedna could've donned hers the last time she fought Alice. I think she preferred to use guns in that match. It would also seem that Alice can propel herself in space and if she can then I'll assume Church can too so it's a good thing that Alice is going on the offensive. Those energy beams directed at him have about the same effect bullets had on Alice so he was probably getting ready to charge Gavia before Alice took him by surprise.

Well keep in mind that in space no one can hear you scream.

Lasers fire, everybody dies.
I suspect that the Praeses will step in here at some stage.

If it all comes down to a space battle of the poor man's Power Rangers, then it's kind of anti-climactic. But usually Jeph is a better storyteller than that.
If AG is about to start winding down, I'm a trifle disappointed. It looked to me that we were setting up a fair amount of world-building, which ought to have played out in a bigger story than what we've seen so far. The Praeses are just big trees floating in orbit? Pate, who was built up as some sort of criminal mastermind, ends up toasted after a single pop into space? Who did the Blink? Is there some reason we should care? Are the three immortals human or AI? What was the plot behind sending Ardent to the surface with nano-Jim'llFixits? Are Alice and Sedna really an ex-couple? Etc.
Method of Madness:
I don't think it's anywhere close to over. Closer to the end than the beginning just means two and a half years, and maybe more if you consider he's updating less frequently (because it could be nearly 200 strips left at one a week). That being said, he could also just change his mind.
