In season 1 when Samson didn’t end up in a coma I wondered how they were going to handle the Omnipotus attack, since that attack while Mark was a on Thraxus is what starts the chain of events that eventually leads to Mark and Cecil’s falling out and mutual distrust of each other (but honestly I don’t think Mark could have helped with Omnipotus that much), which is kind of a huge part of the story.
Now I get what the show is doing though:
(Prediction for the next episode/important comic spoilers. read at your own peril)
!It’s now clear they’re going to do the First Sequid Invasion/Lizard League Nuclear Takeover while Mark is away. Mark isn’t super vital for the Sequid storyline at this point (at the very least Immortal or Bulletproof are more than capable stand ins for him). But when Mark comes back Cecil can hit him with the “your job is to protect this planet. If you had been here I wouldn’t have had to devote as many heavy hitters to the Martians and had some more boots on the ground to handle the Lizard League. But because you disobeyed my orders, Rex is in the hospital, and Kate and Rae are dead.”!<
I shouldn’t have doubted. The writers clearly have a handle on things.

Seems like that’s where they’re going. Shame though, I kinda liked Mark’s role in the Sequid mission. It kicked off his romance with Eve, and I liked how he stepped up as leader. It reinforced that the ass kicking he got from Thraxa was forcing him to take himself way more seriously.
Still, narratively I think you’re dead on, and definitely works. It’s also going to make his murder way more spontaneous when/if it happens.
Honestly, if that’s true. That would make all the footage shown in the trailer be the first half of the season only. Nothing has been shown from the second half.
I don’t think that’s going to happen, to be honest. The amount of stuff that happens on Thraxa should take up the entire episode. Why would they need to rush any of those storylines? Marks falling out with Cecil happens in Issue 50, which is a long way away. They’re only covering events from issue 25-30 at the moment. The finale for season 2 is probably going to be the second Angstrom Levy fight, and the storyline with Eve really starts to kick off then. I think the Sequid ship mission will be episode 6 or 7. Even that seems like a stretch because it doesn’t give a lot of time for Mark’s falling out with Amber, considering they just had sex and probably won’t see each other again until episode 5.
