Two more reviews of the second issue of Farscape: Gone and Back have surfaced. The first is from dvandom in his weekly roundup, amusingly titled "What comics Diamond would deign to sell me, August 19, 2009," in which the issue is "Mildly recommended," and also wins "The Cardinal Rule Of What If? Stories: Things Usually Turn Out Worse No Matter How Well They Start" Award. The second...
So on Saturday I sat down to watch a RiffTraxed version of Casablanca . As it started, I realized something amazing..... I'd never seen Casablanca . I'd been sure I had...if not on TV, then in a film class I recall taking in College. But no...I'd never seen it. dvandom speculated that given how quoted and referenced it is, it's just sort of sitting in the public consciousness. Well...
dvandom planted the seed, mangagirl has provided the soil, and soon I shall harvest my own, G-Rated LL&DD Tijuana Bible. I feel so retro-underground. Analogue 4chan in your hand.

Next is dvandom 's capsule reviews for the week, where he mildly recommends it. Money quote: Aha! The subtitle...
Which is worse: not existing or never going home? Michael Moriarty asked himself that question for the thousandth time as the watched the red timer on his flux drive count down toward zero. It hadn't fluxed yet, and wouldn't for another sixty seconds. He still had time to take the silver belt buckle and smash it to bits before it went off. He looked away from the belt laying on the floor, and...
There are two new reviews of Farscape: D'Argo's Lament #2. The first is from Summer Suzuki at Fandomania, who basically liked it. Money quote: Much like the first issue, it keeps the Farscape pace at an appropriate level (foot firmly planted on the accelerator), every action the characters take turns a mess into a hot mess, then into a really BIG hot mess, and it’s all very satisfying for fans...
dvandom has reviewed Farscape: Strange Detractors #1 in his weekly roundup. Money quote: ...character arcs are very important, and this miniseries not only continues those set up in the previous mini, it brings the whole Jothee/Chiana relationship back into focus. ... an enjoyable issue, if a bit slow in getting started. Recommended. The issue also won the "Actually, The Scarrans Are...
