and what a decade it's been!

I'll be the nitpicky one here:
Shalhia's gun appears and disappears in this and the las few pages. I am aware that she has a giant egged Tobi on her back, but yeah, for a sec I thought missed a panel where someone snatched it away from her.

Hello, Three!

Yeah I think this guy needs to have a neck snappy experience before he decides to have another oopsie.

Graphically speaking, this new Klaassen seems a bit... disneyfied, to me ?

Nothing good has ever come out of the CIA ever getting involved in anything at all ever...

Seriously though, while Tobi's time in the Smile games have certainly been informative and lore heavy at times, they've also kinda felt like they side-lined her and put the greater plot at large in the freezer for a long, long time... Things started feeling plotty again in this last section in which we had the Phantasm and the Council of Vermin, but still; it somehow feels like we're back on track now that this sociopath has become relevant again.

So problem solver is the official title eh? Maybe troubleshooter is better given what happened to the last person he was after.

Why yes, Klaassen, its the golem. You might very well be able to tie this mission up with a nice neat little bow if you can keep another "oopsie" from happening.

I fear there's a strong chance that this is going to end with Tobi being carried off by someone else, once Shalhia's been fed to the ever hungry daisies.

@Radical Dreamer: Well as long as the oopsie isn't Tobi related...

I recognized him immediately! It's TV guy!

Sure, guy from a decade ago, I'll buy your flimsy explanation.

Something tells me #3 is not a pleasant surprise for him.

Hey Mr. Rich Guy.
