Huzzah!  We have a release date!

I note that Quine's rollout of the bracelet rubies, discussed at the beginning of issue #7, has begun.

At Last! I'm really looking forward to this installment. So many...naughty possibilities. There's something about taking a bean counter and making her beg for a cock that speaks to me. Perhaps this is because I get ordered around by suits a lot. Or, at least, it sure feels like it.

Interested to see how Portal handled the lettering.
I know I didn't make it easy on them this time around with the panel layouts.

You can see the comic on the home page but the comic itself is nowhere to be seen.

A refresh got it going for me.

Yeah, I had to refresh the page about four times for it to show up.

The team did NOT disappoint. This is an excellent addition. The panels take some getting used to. I have mixed feelings about this this time around, but still very hot. I hope there's more to come. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this amazing addition to the series.

Brilliant as always. Really superlative work.
The only bad thing? Having to wait for #9 to see what happens next!

So, do we see many background characters?  That's something I've always enjoyed, the hints that more and more rubies are being released and having an effect.

Beyond Rubies remains a superlative achievement.  I renewed my subscription yesterday for one year, and I feel as though I've already received a pretty good ROI.

I love how this corporation is well into the advanced stages of global mind controlled slavery and even executives in the company itself have no idea what the hell is going on.

I love how many details are packed into the comic - like how much of a total sword and sorcery geek Gabrielle is, or how the female executives introduced at the beginning of #7 are now being brought under control.

As usual, high praise all around for this instalment.  To echo Elenchos, the wait begins for the next issue!

Loved this issue.  The plot-to-hot ratio is just about dead on.

One thing, though... did the dialogue get shuffled around a bit on Page 4?  Laura says, "Laura's here to see you"; and Andrea says, "Sit, we're both directors now."  A lot of the characters are starting to look the same -- which is ok and, in fact, the point -- so that threw me for a while.

Indeed, if he takes control of Laura, how come she's the one saying "Laura's here to see you" ?

Sounds like the word balloons got flipped.  I never looked at the letters.
It is supposed to be Laura saying "sit..".

The "they're starting to look the same" thing is actually NOT the point. 

Laura has reddish hair, which I thought looked different enough compared to Andrea when they're in the same scene.  She even has a lighter skin tone. I put extra time into trying to differentiate their faces and stopped changing their hairstyles so there would be less confusion. 
Dunno what else to do at this point, honestly.  "Draw better", I guess.
