"Sword."

I could look it up--fine, I will! I guess I got Ghost and Luis in 2019: they're in the background of the annual group shot, but I don't think they've appeared in any strips since? Well, better late, I suppose. This isn't the same Ghost that was in Thunderbolts with Sat and Moonstone, but they treat her about like she was. Also, for little apparent reason, I thought both the comic Ghost and the movie one had the same sibilant speech pattern as Cobra Commander. Didn't go with that; maybe Moonstone was seeing her for speech therapy as well. 

The D'spayres are quiet this time around--are they planning something, or did I forget to give them dialogue? One of them was going to mouth off to Kurt, but might've got interrupted. Side note: I checked, and I could get another one almost immediately if it came down to it, but I don't think I want to pay full-price for another...yet. Maybe if there's a skyrocketing demand for Rintrah legs.

lol! So many quotable panels! Definitely could’ve extended the sword double entendre a bit, but I guess that might’ve seemed a little indulgent.

The original Ghost did briefly speak in a snake like stutter/lisp, but I don’t think it was kept around for very long beyond his initial appearance, but I could be wrong.

Given this new Ghost an imaginary friend in the form of Dyspare is both hilariously messed up and kinda sad, adding to her already tragic backstory.

Definitely curious who’s next to show up on this magical misery tour.
