Comic for Monday, May 2nd
Now that’s one more-or-less on time comic, folks! 😉
Before I get too proud of that I was supposed to do a new vote incentive to start off the month there as well, and didn’t get that done (or, should I say, thought up). Will try to do that sometime this week, but we’ll see. Updates come first, of course.
So far it looks like Peter’s speculation had some basis. I think this is the first time we’ve seen Don up and conscious. It’s a big move for him, getting a real speaking role. Like with Mika, Don is Rovak-ization of his real name. He saves pronouncing full names for his own apparently.
So; some of you may have noted that previously the ‘related comics’ were purely random (best I can tell). So I’ve disabled the automated list and will provide a small selection of actually related comics. The goal here is to make the reading experience slightly more coherent and turn a useless feature into something that may actually be helpful. Feel free to provide feedback of the sort of the things that should be in related comics, or to continue ignoring that section entirely as you hopefully have been doing 😉

it’s Thursday. where’s the next page?
Be late, unfortunately. I may just move the schedule to Monday/Friday at this point 😉
Just put the late message.
Hmm… “There might be some unexpected opposition. Let’s split up!” does not sound like a, well, sound plan to me. Of course Rovak is quite capable and they’re running at least somewhat on a time limit here. Still, he probably should have taken Don’s advice.
Also “I have the feeling” is not wrong. But I think “I have a feeling” sounds better and conveys the thought behind the statement better.
Rovak’s overconfidence has been one of this defining features thus far, not that he doesn’t have some reason for it. He generally seems more concerned about the status of his minions than his own status, which makes some sense considering.
Maybe he’s referencing a particular feeling of being stabbed he has occasionally? 😉 Your probably right, but since it’s close enough to making sense I’ll leave it for now I think.
Rovak is probably quite likeable and good a boss to work for. Right up to when it all goes south, obviously.
And it’s a very minor gripe, really. No real need to change it.
the only thing i got atm is that the way don is holding his pistol in the 1st frame is a bit… weird. not wrong per say just awkard looking. well pointer finger should be along the barrel and middle finger across the trigger guard but thats just nit picking.
tho i am wondering how well trained the backup ppl are. just looking at them seems to indicate either a severe lack of training (or bad training) or serious overconfidence. i mean they are in the middle of a lab that may or may not have top of the line security and illegal military weapon experiments.
if the gray husk is even half of mium or ila’s power the only one potentialy able to stop him is rovak.
Well, I’m neither at expert at drawing guns nor at hands, so there is invariable some of that intersection that is just I can’t draw it super well. That said, their demeaner is intentionally very… casual about the situation.
They are also not wearing helmets and only random pieces of armor, compared to most of them the other times we’ve seen people kitted out of combat. These people are certainly dangerous, but few would use the term professional in demeanor. They are somewhere between ‘irregulars’ and ‘ruffians’ 😉
well like i said it looks awkward. otoh its a gun, its a guy holding a gun and not trying to piss off the battlemage. so it works. the rifles are better looking and the rest of the scene is well drawn. that pistol for whatever reason just bugged me.
going back over the archives most of the other pistols are fairly decent.
It’s not the gun or hand per se but the perspective. Having the butt of the gun pointing at Don’s neck requires a very large and unnatural twist of his wrist. A natural, untwisted wrist position would have the gun butt pointing forward.
Note to “Don”: Calling a psycho a “psycho” when they can hear you is often counterproductive, and may even be hazardous to your heath. O.o
Hmmm, “Don”‘s eyes seem to match his hair. Is he a Designer Child also, or is something else going on here–like hair dye, perhaps? He seems older that the other designer kids.
Woah! Backgrounds AND perspective? You’re going all out on this page. ^^
Well, he did conclude that said person didn’t speak his language, and thus probably reckons it’s safe. He has received very few accolades for good judgement in his appearances so far though…
I’ve given several unintentional red herrings on designer children I think; but they still haven’t really been introduced to the story so, we’ll eventually get more to work with there 😉
For now all I’ll say is they are a little more complicated then we’ve had much reason to believe, and chances are that Don is one.
Should be “perimeter” in panel 5?
Indeed; fixed! A speedy catch; that quick most people will never even know it happened!
Ah. Wait. The comment thread here. Oh well! 😛 Thanks for the fix, and thanks for the comment!
