I heard there was some confusion about what Perry and Arika are up to in the current storyline. That’s okay! Arika is confused, too. The purpose of Perry’s voyage to the bottom of the sea and how it relates to their search for a Chaos Star remains to be seen. (And will be seen very shortly!)
If you can’t remember what exactly the Bug Mob was supposed to be, that’s okay too – they have existed in the comic for a while, but pretty much everything you need to know will be recapped (if it hasn’t been already in today’s comic).
In case you want some extra context, though… The Bug Mob was a crime family that used to terrorize the Badnixverse using strange, reality-glitching minions called Bugs. Perry’s parents belonged to the organization, and wound up getting whacked. Perry later joined the Bug Mob himself, with the express purpose of stealing their stuff and destroying them from the inside.
We last saw the Bug Mob in The Undercloud. The only members left were robots who had been hardwired to remain loyal to the group – and even they seemed to get wiped out by the end of the story. Poor Tin Man seems to be the only one who never got the memo.
Note that we still know very little about the Bugs themselves or where they came from. We also still don’t know anything about the Chaos Stars, apart from how much everyone wants to get their mits on them. Enigmas worth keeping in mind, I expect. (Hint hint, spoil spoil)
