Chris Jarkoer's namesake is Jarkoer from the Comic Board's SGMB. He's been a major force behind saving Mayday's bacon from the fire on more than one occasion. So, I guess he's earned the right to play Mayday's stalker.
I have to say, I haven't visited this thread much lately, or posted here in a long time. I was tired of 'the arc that wouldn't die' and, in general, bored to tears with the title - almost to the point of dropping it. But the pace has definitely picked up with the last couple of issues. The supporting cast is back and the plot is, once again, moving forward at breakneck pace. Yep, looks like things are back on track again.
