of a feel of making sure every single recurring character from Xena got at least mentioned. After both Joxer and Autolycus showed up, I was just waiting for Salmoneus to make his appearance. (It was Callisto rather than Salmoneus that showed up though.) The rest of the comic is enjoyable enough, but the unpleasant bits are unpleasant enough--despite only taking up a handful of pages--that I wouldn't recommend this.
