Hey, the kid’s excited. Give him a break. But maybe he should be a little more worried… because there’s that creepy shadow again, promising a world of danger for the new Triceraman. But we won’t leave you hanging long in revealing this arch-foe’s identity. All will be revealed before the end of this issue, which wraps up next week!

You read that right, folks! Not a dream… not an imaginary story… Sam has officially passed on the mantle of Triceraman. So what brought about the biggest shake-up in our nearly 100-strips-worth of history? It just felt like the right time. And not only the right time for us as creators to stir the pot and muck with the status quo, but more importantly the right time for Sam as a character. He’s had a lifetime of this costumed nonsense. Who could begrudge him taking his chance to bow out when he’s provided the perfect opportunity? His relationship with Lily should become instantly stronger, but it might take a while longer before we see how well Jun Yu adjusts to his new duties. So stay tuned. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

Hmm… so what was that shadow? Not that we’d give it away this early, but keep your eyes peeled. The answer will reveal itself before you know it. Until then, it appears like Sam and Jun Yu make a pretty good team (much to Sam’s chagrin, of course), so we’ll see where that leads.
