Ah, okay. Thank you reminding me. At 640 pages, it can hard to stay caught up on the storylines. At least for me anyway.

Yeah, I get that. That's what I meant. It's just that I'm just worried that this could end with Angela and Tom stuck in each other's bodies. I'm liking that this comic is acknowledging the downsides of bodyswaps, so I'm hoping that leads to an ending where they swap back and can get to their own lives and families (though in Angela's case, since she can still see her family, then at least she can now see and be with her family in her actual body).

I personally thought of a scenario where some kind of techno-sorcerer type figures out how Outlet made the swap so thorough.
Mainly by integrating "quantum theory" into the neural engram transfer to account for metaphysical elements, whilst rewiring the body's neural system to the new occupant. Basically, he uses quantum science to transfer the "souls" between bodies, while making the bodies think the new souls are natural.
Figure that out, and it might be possible to reserve the swap.

Athena tried swapping them back early on in the comic. But Outlet's method was methodical to where even she couldn't. That's why Tom and John were off in Italy looking for divine artifacts.
Outlet was only swapped out of his stolen body because of some sorta magic spoon, but that's gone now. With both gods and magic silverware out of the picture, methods for swapping back rest with either Outlet him/her-self, (confusing at this point), or some random outsider helping.

I mean if that happens we wouldn't exactly have a comic, bit maybe at the end?

I'm curious. What's exactly keeping them from swapping back? I've been trying to keep up with story, but I can't recall why they're still in each other's bodies. I get Tom is enjoying himself, but he has his own life he's missing out on and a family he hasn't seen or talk to for so long. And while Angela at least can still see her family because they know about the body swap, she still is stuck have to live Tom's life instead of her own. I like this comic and I like that unlike most other forced bodyswap stories, this one acknowledges the downsides and wrongness of forced bodyswaps. I'm hoping something or someone comes along and helps them swap back into their rightful bodies.
