Thank you for checking out Cosmic Dash, Volume 4, Episode 3 – Page 26. This page takes us back to the sick bay crew we last saw on page 19 of this issue. We’ll catch up with Alix’s story later. For now we’ll deal with an injury that never properly healed.
This is the second page of the January 27th, 2024 update batch. Comics will be uploaded in batches for the foreseeable future. Please review the last page of this update batch or the State of the Comic post for 2024 for further information.
Lore
In addition to some of the prose, Kracker’s wing injuries have been discussed in the comic before. His frequent drinking can be attributed to self-medicating based on nerve pain from an injury that we can see here never quite healed properly. We also have seen some tremors.
We’ll learn more about that injury in the second installment of “Soar.”
