OOOOOOOOO Damn. Mustang is finally kicking it into gear (though I don't imagine Bradley or Selim are dead)

Loved the Olivia/Roy scenes. Great what I need, another OTP3

Riza naturally kicked ass.

I can NOT get enough of evil grins via Ling. Damn, so hot. who doesn’t love this


Ed getting to punch Hoho. that gets love.

Hoho crying on Ed and freaking him out, pure genius. Though Hoho's speak sounds like a resolution would be Hoho dying in the end.

and wow, the final panels. just WOW. Did NOT see that coming

I have tickets to see the midnight premiere of the new Batman movie. Time to do the Batusi.

I was also thinking Lust might've been human. Funny if she'd been a geeky little thing like Sciezca.
