You know, for some strange reason I somehow got it into my head
that the fight would involve more than Heraclius and his offspring/
remote animates, and I'm not sure why.  Which is a bit embarrassing,
because it says 'beetle battle'; not something like 'three way
kaiju kombat' that would hint that Bronzewing and Infernion (and
even the greatly reduced Leviathan) might be involved as well.  Not
to mention the fact that, reviewing previous issues, Infernion has
the mandate to watch the others and only attack if they get out of
control.
