Luke gets hit in the face a lot, doesn't he? He fucking deserves it, that's why. Slipping some poor sick starving girl a psychic roofie is a new low even for him.
And it jibes with the way to take out a Freakangel - Bonk-Bonk on the Head! I guess Luke's powers aren't attuned to creating defensive shields that would deflect a garbage can lid.
I'm having a time out until I can learn some manners.
Weird that he gets detected by the noise and not the Freak brainwaves like before. Could make a telepath very suspicious that there is shielding all over, which wouldn't be complicated at all.
Honestly, I have to say that Alice and Caz are the Freakangels I'd find myself hanging out with...the others all got their heads in the clouds a bit, or just seem to have their own thing going on...but those two seem to be the most down to earth. Though...Arkady's a bit of loony fun and reminds me a bit of a slightly crazier version of my girlfriend (yeah, my girl's nuts...but that's part of why I love her. :P)
@Doctommunist - I wonder if he was as much a skeevy asshole before Ragnarok, or if his superhuman powers fried his forebrain up and left his nasty little id at the control panels. Either way, they others really should institute a "Luke keeps his fucking pants on at all times" rule. If he violates it then Arkady makes his prostate explode with her brain or Alice blows a kneecap off.

What's wrong with Luke? Whats the sense of having an awesome power if you can't have fun with the insects. It's way to soon into the story for me to start passing too much judgement on the characters, we still know almost zero back story. What gets me is the FA's destroy the friggin world and now some of them are soooo self-righteous. Nothing worse than self-righteous behavior born from immense guilt. I'm not buying that our two "bad characters" are as bad as we are being led to believe. For me there is something rather unsavory about the "bald three". hmmm?
As for Alice...grr..smug lil half-starved mutt....someone will turn her inside out! However, the trash can lid face smash (ala Sonny from the Godfather) was a nice touch for me. Proving the theory that...instinctive ACTION is always faster than REACTION. Apparently even for someone with powerful telepathic abilities.
Can't wait for the next installment!! Grand stuff!!
@Eoullis: no offense but I'm willing to bet my life that right now, after this episode, yes son, you are supposed to be judging Luke right now, and finding him a right prick. If you aren't, then that probably means you're a prick too. Nice little gauge Ellis has crafted for us. Could be wrong. But I doubt it.
I mean, blatant depiction of a clear-cut rape and all? Yeahhh, not finding much moral ambiguity in the situation.
I'm a bit confused about the in-out game though. If the crash was world-wide, then wouldn't things be about the same (or worse) all over? Their conversation seemed to imply that people were able to escape the destruction, maybe?

Hey doclivingston,
Prick? I have one you can polish doc. Just to remind you no one was actually raped....its just ideas and lines on paper. We are not dealing with straight human characters here so my judgement is in check. As I said we don't know much backstory ...what luke is doing may be peanuts compared to what is already been done by others.
These posts are not personal expressions of my morality. They are comments about a stupid comic book. You should remember that. I
Also, you juicy douche, I will decide what I am "supposed" to with my literature.
I'd bet a paycheck you would not call me "son" if we were face to face you butt plug.
