Happy Gus seemingly is cured in the end though.

It sucks. He was awesome.

BUT!

I have a Theory on Travis Kidd, the new vampire hunter in #22 who the Vassals want, and has some connection to Skinner Sweet...

spoilers:

Real name = Gus McCoogan, grown up. I did the math, Gus was born in 1936, and would be in his early 20s in the mid 1950s. It has to be him, right?

I don't think so. The cure was still in the syringe.

Was it? Some was still in the syringe, but not necessarily all. I'm not sure. What do others think?

Also they had Cash telling her how she was anything but damaged goods because of her vamp blood and what have you prior in the book. So they were even kind of leading to her not taking the cure.

At first glance I thought Felicia took the cure, but now that it is pointed out, I don't think so anymore.

Also, on who I think Travis is, him using wooden fangs like a vampire would make more sense given his potential pass.

Man I hope I'm right

I hadn't noticed it before, but the coloring could be a giveaway. There's no visual evidence of her injecting the cure, and where as Gus has a different complexion post injection, Felicia's still the same greenish shade throughout. Damn. Now I'm intrigued.

**Chuckles** · 10-13-2011, 03:10 PM

I hadn't even noticed the skin tone, but that seems pretty convincing that Felicia didn't take it.

I really wish I hadn't read this thread before reading SotF5 D: but I loved this mini and hope Snyder does another next summer like he said he may.

Anyone else really annoyed by how the syringe looks? With the syringe obviously full of air which is actually dangerous as all hell.

You know, the more I think about it.....Survival of the Fittest would make one hell of a movie.

That's what it felt like to me - like I was reading an action movie, especially the last two issues. :)

How is the first arc to be read? I just realized there are 2 stories per book. Should I real all of the snyder stuff then all the sking stuff or both at the same time? Can you read all through one story and then all through the other or will it be confusing?

**El Sombrero** · 10-13-2011, 08:53 PM

It doesn't matter. It was originally published so each issue had part of the Snyder story and part of the King story, and I understood everything fine.

Personally I would read the entire Snyder story and then the entire King story, but it really doesn't matter.

**Kaim** · 10-13-2011, 09:21 PM

Seconded, it really doesn't matter in the least. I first read them as they were presented, a segment of Snyder then a segment of King, but I think I appreciated them more rereading them as one cohesive narrative each. I kind of wish the HC had separated them.

**Alex Keller** · 10-14-2011, 03:19 AM

I would recommend just reading them at the same time. That's how I did, and I've grasped the story just fine.
