I mentioned yesterday how much I like the attention paid to some of the supporting cast in this series, and I'm really hoping that the character introduced today, Maggie the Cat, becomes part of this support. A cool character, a titled-lady who just happens to enjoy stealing gems. It puts me in mind of the one-shot companion of The Doctor Lady Christina de Souza (played by Michelle Ryan) in Planet of the Dead. Of course, for the sake of the narrative, Sable makes some decisions about Maggie that don't seem to be in keeping with his character. He manages to get himself drugged and defeated, but seems to be okay with it because he finds her intriguing. Regardless of whether or not she ruins the job he's on.
I was trying to read Sable in 6-issue chunks so that I don't get annoyed or jaded by it (know thyself, right?). It seems to be working nicely. As I mentioned a few days back, this isn't really my usual genre, but I'm finding the characters and the flow of the story so appealing. Maybe one of these days I'll get back to Alpha Flight and use the same method. I got snarky about Alpha Flight.
More to follow.
