After showing up twice, both times glaring at V? Nope. It might take a few issues, it might take a hundred but Burlew has a plan for him/her I'm sure.

Nice Super Bowl joke.

Well, V's revenge and its consequences aside, maybe the elf is just mad that he/she is sitting next to a cat.

As is his/her hostility. I note from here the elf's name is Polozius.

Good question. Coloring error, perhaps?

They're not translucent, just faded to grey to go with the fact that they're in the background. If you follow the line between the wall and floor you can't see that through them at all.

Also, I'm rather liking this new armour for Roy and Belkar.

That did it, I am completely sold on Gannji and Enor. They need to become reoccurring characters after this arc, or at least need to make an appearance in the massive climactic endgame it seems the series is leading to.

Come to think of it, doesn't the Linear Guild need a couple new members to fill out the ranks?

I thought it was a play on the "existentially adrift" part of the ...Warden's? speech. Although I'm not sure what he's referring to in the comic's past - where the inmates at any time compared to Schroedinger's cat in being both dead and alive? Or is it that they haven't been defined as individuals, they're just faces in the crowd?

I don't think that they'd fit too well...they seem more mercenary than actively evil.
That said, I do hope that they make the jump to "recurring characters", at the very least.
