I’m not sure what people consider ‘gory’. I mean, when Fumiaki attacked Britain we had pages full of dead bodies laying in the street. But somehow, I think that forked eyeball may be the goriest thing in the comic so far. I like it, and I love how Kasey rendered it. 🙂

Zoey: Huh. You were right.
Roger: Hey, Jacob. We snagged your railgun.
Jacob: Thanks. Wasn't going to get more mileage out of the cutlery. Where's the plane?
Roger: No plane. Our disruption will only last a minute or two. We wouldn't have time to take off. We're driving outta here.
Zoey: Vroom, vroom!
Jacob: Wait a minute...

So it WAS the eyeball. Take that, nose theorists 😀
You realize, of course, this means Simon Phoenix is gentler than Jacob.
A street full of dead bodies is a statistic. A single forked eyeball is a tragedy.
A funny tragedy.
That’s all right, he’ll grow TWO more…
But… but… the fork is sticking into the _back_ of the eyeball. D: That’s the part that makes it disturbing.
It’s one thing to stick a fork into someone’s eye, or use a spoon to scoop their eye out, that’s all “Gaaaaaah!” and you’re done. The fork in the back of the eye makes it look like the eye got partway out, the fork got stuck, and then things went really bad from there.
But he can “see” where he forked up ! 😛
