Comic for Thursday, May 12th
That’s about as on time as Thursday comic’s get recently, I mean, technically, by my time zone, it still IS Thursday… :p
Wrist is doing better, still busy, but at least had no trouble drawing this page. I got a stupid mouse for work (one of those weird vertical ones… annoying to use, but bothers my wrist a lot less to use all day). I reckon this will save my wrist for more important things. Like drawing webcomics.
It seems the interogation hasn’t been productive. To be fair, if you were Rovak, would you tell Don your plans?… Assuming that RovakΒ has plans, of course. You can never quite tell with him where on the sliding scale of sanity he is that day.
Anyway, be a short commentary as I need to be that thing that’s not-awake.

- Jayce’s wrist band, and the first time we saw Jayce.
- To be honest until I linked this comic I sort of forgot that last time it glowed more.
- Last time we saw Jayce.
- Why Don experiencing a clipping issue with the terrain.
This linking to old comics thing is painful. I don’t like being reminded that the art used to be even worse. Here’s to hoping next year these pages are as painful to look back on those ones are now.
A character that attacks without several paragraphs of exposition? I think I’m in love. π
Is it my imagination, or does Jayce look just the teensiest bit less confident in Panel 8? ^^
I remember Jayce as being older, more jaded–Botox, or just a re-draw? π
Now that you mention it, the way it looks, she might have been able to sneak up quietly and attack from behind. (Which would be a smarter/safer move.)
But then, her superior had to reveal her presence with “…she’s enough to deal with you.”
What can I say? I hope Don has some hidden abilities, ’cause his strategy and tactics aren’t very good. π
I imagine Jayce’s more youthful appearance is a combination art migration, art variation, and that he last time I was drawing him he was in pretty rough shape. In his first appearance his face didn’t have lines on it either.
And let’s face it, there is some difficulty in conveying age with characters. Usually I’m lucky if people can tell who is who between the art and the number of characters π
One is wondering if the then/than mixup was on purpose or just lack of knowledge of the difference of the writer.
I reckon it’s observance of historical tradition. If I used the right one, people would reckon that the comic had been taken over by an impostor.
In this instance, it’s because I cannot proofread my own writing to save my life apparently. Anyway, I fixed the only one I saw, thanks π
I would assume that the “civilian cop” is either dead or injured, if she’s done with them. (I seem to recall more than one. Shouldn’t she have said “cops”, plural?)
Their team leader is immortal and fancies himself a hero of sorts, calling themselves “the good guys” in his career pitch/offer to Mium. He, at least, would probably spare the cops, knocking them out or something.
However, I can’t see crazy girl doing that. On the other hand, she is under hero-boy’s leadership and he might find fault with that kind of behavior.
The concept of ‘good guy’ varies widely, while common parlance of that term would involve sparing civilians and what not, I have little confidence in what Rovak’s definition of that term would be… π
I also don’t really see her not intentionally keeping people that got in her way alive, but if they didn’t actually try to stop her maybe. Maybe she has a soft spot for endangered species.
