Issue 6 has now been pushed back to December 20th (It was December
13th, itself a puzzle as to why it wasn't the first day of the
month like every previous issue).
Issue 5 was interesting. The psychopathic Cruz continues to be the
most interesting character. The animal cunning that makes him so
unhinged is probably also what's kept him alive for so long. He
instinctively recognizes that Cason-as-Juniper is someone he should
know even if the voice is unfamiliar to him just from what they
threaten him with over the phone.
We find out who was responsible for the body swap/why/how. It
basically can be boiled down to Why? Because. Very sudden and very
arbitrary. Potentially ridiculous if you're a character in-universe
hearing this as Cruz himself says but the subtext is that he
clearly believes it. More of that animal cunning, I guess.
The two main characters also tell the people in their orbit what's
happened. Sure, it's a fantastical story but I don't find it that
hard to believe that they believe it, the changes in character in
the case of Juniper as Cason on the one hand and Cason as Juniper
being so different to your average housewife to the others who had
never met Juniper as Juniper makes it not too huge a leap IMO.
Other loose ends include Cason finally giving Juniper's incredibly
terrible husband the boot after beating him up. Surprised it didn't
happen sooner given Cason had him pegged from the start and was
more than a match for his posturing from the outset. Juniper's
husband was so far out of his depth it was very
funny.
Anyway, this episode accelerates through a lot of plot and events
at incredibly high speed and sets up the finale which is clearly
going to be a convergence of everyone in the same way a head-on
collision is.
Especially given it's been picked up for at least a TV pilot, I
would imagine there would be at least one more series and my guess
is that no-one gets swapped back in Episode 6. By the looks of
things, they increasingly look like they don't want to anyway.

Issues 1-4 were released on the last Wednesday of the month. Issue
5 was delayed a week, putting it at the first Wednesday of the
month. So, issue 6 will be three weeks late.
Seeing Cason deal with Juniper's husband is a highlight of the
issue. Hard to believe that it's been less than a day since they
switched, considering how fast things are moving.

I think it's been more than a day. There's been at least one scene
of both characters being shown trying to sleep and failing, the
dinner party, taking Juniper's son to school a morning post running
down the kids who stole his bike and various other events that
couldn't have all happened in the same day.
I agree not much time has passed (same as webcomic passage of time,
many many pages over months and even years can be as little as
hours of time passing - or less) but I think the swap must have
happened at least a few days ago by the timeline of this story.

The first issue ended with the body swap, the second issue was
preparing for the dinner party/cleaning up the body, and ended with
Case saying they would find the kids who stole Kelly's bike/Juniper
having feds outside the hotel room that Siggy had led back to there
with the body.
Third issue(still the same night) was the running down of the kids,
and ended with Juniper with Mika, Case confronting Juniper's
husband about his affair, and Cruz killing Siggy.
Fourth issue is where they finally talk to each other, the trying
to sleep part, and ends with Cason making breakfast the next
morning, and then the most recent issue ends after Kelly gets home
from school that day.
So, I'm putting it at less than 24 hours since they swapped, as I'm
guessing the swap took place around or after 6 or so(I think it was
after 5:30 when Juniper woke up from her nap, and went to the
grocery), and I'm guessing it's maybe around 4 at the end of the
fifth issue(Juniper was able to pick up Kelly from school the
previous day and take him to the library, and then go home and nap,
so assuming Kelly gets out of school at the same time, he had time
to get home on his own. I'm guessing Juniper's husband spent the
day fuming before deciding to come home early to confront
Cason/Juniper).

OK, I thought you were getting at it all happening inside the same
day as opposed to 'inside a 24 hour period'. I'm absolutely certain
it's all spread over 2 calendar days at least but as to how many in
total, well I'd have to go back and have a look.

Well, Crosswind Issue 6 is out. Also promises at the end of this
run that there'll be more later.

That it does. The question is if it will continue to follow Cason
and Juniper, or if it will have new main characters. I guess we'll
find out whenever it gets solicited.
As to the issue, I think it ended well.

Entirely possible, and a way to have a followup that involved the
same characters.

Anyone heard anymore news about Season 2 and/or the TV series?
|
From: guest (dadada)
, 68 months, post #58 |
I think one of the would-be producers sent out a tweet this month
that, while didn't reveal any new information, seemed to suggest
that the television project is still in the works. One comment I
have is the tv series (if it ever gets made) would have to really
pad things if it is based off of the comic. The comic takes place
in the span of 24-48 hours.
|
From: Air Gear

I imagine the comic story Season 1 would just be the first few
episodes and then they'd write more stuff. Either the new seasons
of the comic in parallel with the TV show or both go in different
directions.

Well, there wouldn't be a problem. After all Game o Thrones also
overtook the book and is better for it.
