Weekly Webcomic Update
Sluggy Freelance — Torg and Aylee run into each other, and Torg tries to convince Aylee to come home with him when the portal opens tomorrow. Aylee, despite feeling neglected, believes that she is home with her people. Torg's argument is primarily that her people are trying to eat his people, so maybe her loyalty is misplaced

Day by Day — So, Sam's pregnant with twins. Zed's not the only one unwilling to share need to know information. Skye helps with a Zed voodoo doll. While over in Iraq, Jan meets military hijinks continue.

Scary Go Round — Shelley's world saving dream team is breaking up and going their separate ways. Not all of them are leaving however. Captain Ernest has convinced Moon and Desmond to join him in his next adventure, and Esther and the Boy are getting back together. On the other hand, Shelley and Amy seem to have forgotten about Erin--not just her situation, but that she ever existed--who is now trapped in Hell with Bob.

Dominic Deegan — Gregory convinces Snowsong that in trying to destroy the town of Barthis, she's become the thing she hates the most. Of course, when she realizes this, instead of turning over a new leaf, she despairs, and tries to force him to kill her, thus becoming what he hates: a murderer. Super Greg has other ideas.

College Roomies from Hell!!! — Dave finally gets around to zapping werewolf Joe, and they take him in for questioning. For some reason, werecoyote Roger wasn't a whole lot of help against him.

Schlock Mercenary — The Doc comes up with a way to get paid three times, by replacing Xinchub's body with a clone. Tagon is so happy that he accidentally kisses her, and has to apologize to the Reverend. Kevyn comes up with the idea independently a bit later, but learns that he should get out of the lab more.

Weekly Webcomic Update
Sluggy Freelance — Torg goes running off to find whether Aylee climbed out of her old body. Aylee, meanwhile, is feeling neglected by her alien host, who's barely interested in her any longer, but sends her out to kill a lone human approaching on an airbike--Torg.

Day by Day — Jan's guard decides to play translator to the military. Jan's meeting lots of tough women in the military, and finding them to be proud and motivated. Back home, though, all anyone can talk about is defeat.

Scary Go Round — Amy and Ryan are fighting over Erin's fate. Going to hell can't be good for a girl. Nevertheless, Shelley decides to host a party for her friends who helped her save the world. The Boy and Esther need to decide where their relationship stands after brainwashing.

Dominic Deegan — Gregory goes Super to go fight with Snowsong. It would be a lot more dramatic if he didn't look so stupid.

College Roomies from Hell!!! — Dave's tasked to be backup, but an aborted phone call from Blue to Marsha's phone has him trying to get in touch with her, unaware that Margaret's fighting for her life against a werewolf Joe.

Schlock Mercenary — The only thing better than getting paid twice to steal Xinchub's body is getting paid three times. The only problem is that the third payer wants Xinchub's body protected, and it's going to be difficult to keep all three customers happy.

Weekly (sorta) Webcomic Update
Sluggy Freelance — So Schlock's made a deal with Hereti-corp. And Riff thinks Aylee's the one to worry about. Speaking of whom, Aylee's made contant with the hive-king in charge of the alien ghouls invading Earth. She's not completely won over by his charms, but he helps her anyway, sacrificing drones to give her rebirth... as a much smaller alien.

Day by Day — Jan's continually surprised by the military, while they're continually surprised by the media. Maybe someday they'll get over their surprise with each other, but that'd be a lot less fun. A very pregnant Sam and Zed cover the local politics angle.

Scary Go Round — Surprisingly, the good guys find a way to reverse the flow of the portal by annulling Erin's marriage to Bob, who's sucked into Hell. Unfortunately, Erin's sucked in too. After this depressing turn of events, it's good to see Amy returned without any fuss, although her attempts to cheer Shelley up don't do much good.

Dominic Deegan — Just when it looks like Snowsong's about to recover, along comes the police, to get her upset again. When they claim that Snowsong's fellow cultists killed themselves, she takes offense, and goes to destroy the town. Gregory shows up, but he's not doing such a good job at calming her down. Fortunately, his abilities seem to be on the mend.

College Roomies from Hell!!! — Dave and Roger are conspiring to ditch Margaret, but it's not working. Margaret's still planning the raid on Joe, but she's a bit concerned that he's better armed than they are. Dave offers to interrogate him himself, but no one takes him very seriously. He's still taking a back-up role.

Schlock Mercenary — The crew celebrates Xinchub's death. Boy, are they happy! The Reverend has to explain the glee to the oldest member of their company, who's 12 million or so. While he's doing that, Tagon and Kevyn independently accept the job of desecrating Xinchub's corpse. Some people might think it a conflict to accept the job from two different people, but from Tagon's view point, the only thing better than getting paid to desecrate Xinchub's corpse, is getting paid twice to do it.

Weekly Webcomic Update
Sluggy Freelance — So we're back in Sluggy Prime, and Riff's made Bun-bun an offer on the explosives, but at a lot less than Bun-bun wants. He accepts anyway, although not without bludgeoning Riff. Meanwhile, Schlock narrowly escapes both the government and Kusari.

Day by Day — Jan is in for some surprises when she meets the real military. Sam's complaining about the Republicans' stand on immigration, while the Democrats are their own worst enemy. So, pretty much business as usual.

Scary Go Round — Shelley interrupts Bob's and Erin's wedding, but ends up killing the wrong devil. The devil succeeds in completing the marriage, and the demons begin to pour into the world while he kills Braun. Fortunately, the leprechaun's ready to take him on.

Dominic Deegan — Snowsong's ticked at Gregory's article, and she goes on a rampage, attacking "Beardman." Dominic's sends Quilt in to negotiate, but he doesn't gets an icy reception.

College Roomies from Hell!!! — After the morning workout, it's time for class. Dover's apparently fonder of Dave more than he likes him.

Schlock Mercenary — It's time to train a new demolitions chief. It's too bad that the only candidate is completely crazy. On the other hand, Tagon gets some good news when he learns Xinchub is dead.
