Can't wait to see what Thorsby does with the now ex-magician.

The current theory is killing someone with pacifist magic doesn't permanently take away your capacity to do any pacifist magic, just the spells you currently know. That's why he only learned one.

How was Transdimensional Brain Chip? I recently read Hitmen for Destiny the whole way through after giving up on it once and loved it, but Accidental Space Spy was kind of disappointing. It was strange, he would spend so much time setting up each premise, especially the invisible zone and the reverse gravity zone, and then wouldn't really do much with it before moving on to the next mission.

I found it better than Space Spy but not as good as Hitmen. Worth a read, I think.

It has the some of the same problems with incomplete or rushed payoffs, but it's worth reading anyway.

There was really only one patented Thorsby action sequence, which is unfortunate because it clearly had a lot of potential in that vein.

It's pretty short though, so I'd say it's worth a read.

I doubt any work will ever quite reach the heights of Hitmen for Destiny, but I liked Transdimensional Brain Chip quite a bit. I liked Space Spy even better though, there's nothing better to me than Thorsby imagining what kind of extreme impossible life forms would evolve in crazy rear end planets that have an invisible zone or a reverse gravity zone, or just alternate evolutionary timelines than those we see on Earth. I didn't mind that the story wasn't the main focus of the comic that much, really.

Moose are already bizarre. It's like a big rear end deer, but with, like webbed antlers? Like a duck's foot compared to a chicken's? And instead of a deer face they have weird melty horse faces.

I think the sequence with Vorte, Fusk, and the shape shifter on the boat was a funnier variation on the same setup, but maybe it's just because I read that first.

Audrey is my favourite character because she knows she's in a Thorsby comic.

She doesn't bother thinking anything through logically, she just picks the weirdest solution under the assumption that it will always be the correct one.
