@Albert: 2 sides to the same coin? I agree that their stories are intricately linked and cannot be separated at this point.
@Dream: Eleanor seems to be ‘working for the greater good’. This is a concept that has never sat right with me. I would rather shake my fists at the Gods than paint the worlds in the same colour…and talking about shaking fists at the Gods, http://www.bigheadpress.com/otr
Odysseus The Rebel is another AWESOME comic. The story is complete, so can be finished in 1or2 sittings.
I was thinking from Jason’s perspective. He’s now learned a few new tricks and it appears she will let him go free. The job was undoubtably high-risk, and those don’t tend to work out in the long run, so the deal looks a great deal sweeter now that it turns out to be no long run.
I doubt most of Eleanor’s employees care about the motives, Jason probably only does on a curiousity level.
Personally I’m a little thorn on the concept of the greater good. Obviously people doing nasty things is nasty, but if you run out of decent options I think I still sympathise with the concept.
Order, Chaos, Good and Evil are all subjective words. They will mean different things to different people. Thay are still important, though.
I can’t really tell what Eleanor sees as good. Maybe she just doesn’t use the word, she does not appear overly idealistic after all. So yeah, maybe Order is a good word for what she serves.
The concept of “Greater Good” is somewhat different from “Good” though. If you work for the greater good you are prepared to do things you yourself percieve as bad if they will lead to things you think are more good than what would otherways happen. I feel like I don’t know Eleanor well enough to tell if she’s that kind of person.

“Famous last words…”
No more Elenore? Surely not?
What do you know, might actually be beneficial to work for Eleanor.
Cars can be jumpstarted…
The only way Eleanor is leaving this story is if the Lady is.

Eleanor strikes me as a servant of Order and Purpose. One who merely does what’s been decreed and ordained… not necessarily what’s good.
Unless, of course, that’s how you define good.
Order and Chaos are neither inherently good or bad. They are merely Order and Chaos. Following one or the other too closely CAN be bad, though.
Order, Chaos, Good and Evil are all subjective words. They will mean different things to different people. Thay are still important, though.

“Greater good” is like “good intentions.” The road to hell is paved that way.
