The fellas are back home... and with that, the arc proper comes to a close.

I'm going to do one epilogue for Friday, but the ramifications of this will trickle into the comic and specifically into future xmas interactions.

Santa is a "villain" coded character in ZR... Our "hero" just so happens to be a zombie... so things get murky where it comes to alignment charts. But since it was brought up, if you're confused... think about it this way:

In the movie Terminator, the machines created their own enemy... they sent back the T-800 to kill Sarah but by doing so, they created the opportunity for their destruction in Kyle Reese also being sent back to stop her death.... which in turns creates the being that would be their downfall-- John. The Santas, in ZR, are like Skynet... they've created their own enemy by targeting this new, zombie George for the actions of legacy zombie George... a George who would have gone on with his "life" not believing in the existence of Santa and not interacting with them at all-- but that has changed.
