So, Patriots, this marks the end of our Skullopolis Storyline. (This marks strip #466.)
If you're new to Monster Commute, start here!
So, what happened?
- Kip and Beastio and Mr. Hicks found Skullopolis.
- They got Chad to FEAST, a Feratu bar.
- We learned that Mig Nola was Kip's father.
- We learned that Nola was assassinated by the Authority, and the Feratu saved his life by making him a zombie.
- Nola, once a shining genius, was now simply a brilliant zombie (or normal mind.)
- Nola, in a grand experiment, decides to try to save Chad.
- Kip's spell goes wrong, and a new Haunt tries to take over Chadworth, but Kip prevails.
- Nola's experiment fails, and only a transfusion of related fluids will help him.
- Kip and Nola hook up to Chad, they trade fluids, and shock his system with electromajic power.
- Chad is brought back to life, but the stress was too much for Nola. He is charred; dead.
- Kip is also damaged (knocked out) but later revives.
- Chad is convinced that he's still fighting in the Mighty War, a massive series of battles that ended about 1200 years ago.
- The Feratu, lead by FEAST chef Carnavon, attempt to punish the Crew, and feed upon them.
- Fortunately, Feratu don't eat Mechan, so that only left Beastio for them to feed upon.
- They do, and drain him to an inch from death.
- Chad fights back, and kicks some Feratu ass with his handy FISTUS wrench.
- The Crew flees, leaving Mr. Hicks behind.
- (It seems that Chadworth hates Feratu, and is completely unaware of the fine assistance that Hicks provided.) Mr. Hicks does the honorable thing, and stays in Skullopolis.
- The Crew finds the Crow, now with deepwalker legs from the Underdeep. (And Dirk Circus.)
- Chad "drives", deactivates the legs, and activates a dirigible on the Steam Crow.
- The Crew escape Skullopolis, and see something quite odd about the sky.
