Proof #20

I have been enjoying the 'Julia' arc in Proof, but have found it slow going. Most likely, this is due to the fact that each issue has had back-up stories, slowing down the main story considerably.

In this issue, we learn a couple of hints about Springheel Jack, and see Proof get shot down by the girl he loves. He also has a chat with his 'father', during which, weird lights float through the sky, but I don't know why.
I find this flashback arc to be very interesting, but it is, at this point, raising many more questions than it is answering.

The back-up story features Autumn Song's first meeting with Mi-Chen-Po. This is another quick story wherein very little happens. It does look nice though, as it spotlights newcomer Marck Labas, and has been coloured to a bare minimum, creating a lot of atmosphere.

I'm still enjoying Proof, but I would like to see a nice, wordy issue that clears a few things up, and takes a while longer to read.
