Grrl Power #257 – Let’s get ready to rubbllllllle!
Not too much to say about this page, just a little pacing mostly. Clearly Vehemence is not finding Maxima’s act terribly intimidating. They are each being pretty overconfident which is bound to go bad for at least one of them.
#MakeComics: For those of you interested, here’s the original version of this page. I was trying to make it a one pager but it was just too rushed without the big faceoff panel. Plus it let me fit in the tumbleweed callback, which is a page that always makes me laugh.
In the meantime, here’s another fun webcomic I found recently. It’s done by Katie Rice, who, if any of you watched it, is the gal that won Penny Arcade’s Strip Search show, but it’s not her Camp Weedonwantcha comic, it’s the one she did before that (and is still doing). It’s called Skadi, and the best way to describe it I think is like The Legend of Bill only with a gross girl barbarian, and a little more Cartoon Network. It has a few strips that are slightly NSFW due to stylized cartoon nipples, but they’re few and far between.
Here’s the link to the new comments highlighter for chrome, and the GitHub link which you can use to install on FireFox via Greasemonkey. I’ll make a permanent link for those somewhere on the page eventually.

SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
you may want to remove the are you ready to ruble bit. They guy who owns the real saying is very well known for going after anyone who uses it
If Dave changes it to “Are You Ready…” instead of “Let’s Get Ready…”, it isn’t an issue, as that’s how other media rephrases it to get around the legality while still making it sound/look the same.
Taking out the extra letters it’s Let’s Get Ready To Rubble. No wrestling organization toes stepped on. The rest of that mall on the other hand…
right the wrestling uses rumble dave used rubble
I think the phrase ‘are you ready to ruble’ is used by the Russian branch of the WWE.
no russia uses are you ready to rupple
I thought that was Rumble. Rubble seems more apt for this panel.
I found a great comic that isn’t getting a lot of comments so I am spamming here in case it’s to anyone else’s taste.
Bloodsplatteredsocks.com
IMO: Overall good, but there’s a heck of a plot twist to start and then nothing much happens for a while, so pacing is a bit off.
Followed the link that had been on the side, glad did as not many Aussie comics (haven’t read The Phantom in years :() and none as fun as BSS (there was a webic that had that the personifications of the Aussie state capitals, but haven’t read that in ages, nor can remember what it was called now :()
Having V break out of the light hook is not surprise. It had to have some sort of limits if only for story reasons to keep from Syd just wrapping but all bad guys. but that transfer of movement back to her is a bit inconstant. Otherwise grabbing a speeding upwards anvil should have dragged her up and also should would’t have had the leverage to whip lash her back. Also slamming around the bad guy earlier in the fight would have been impossible. No having her fall in shock i can see (cartoon trope) but the idea V or any super stone bad guy can pull or push on Lighthook and effect syn makes is next to useless vs anything with any degree of strength.
well kida looking at it again Syn was kinda shifting her bodyweight like it was a rope. normally she just stands there so i guss that could explain the tumble more then V pushing her down via the lighthook.
I think V used some sort of pull then push maneuver to escape. Pulling hard until Sydney was making a maximum effort to hold him, then pushing by moving toward Sydney making her fall as the line went slack. That loosened up the Lighthook tangle around him and he slipped out.
He did a spin move out of the wrap up, like a matador dodging a bull, thus the “Ole!” and the flourish.
Maybe the light hook has a limit to the amount of force it can counteract before there is a user feedback. And the tumbleweed thing is a very appropriate little prop.
I’d say that light hook has limits, more than those limits and it transfers the excess to Sydney…. Vem is pulling her along in the first panel….
So throwing Anvil is within limits, but veh can surpass it..
I think he’s also acknowledging she’s new to the team, and only did enough to throw her off. Except for the initial “You tripped me! SLAM” against her shield. He’s putting more power into fighting the rest.
I smell a rat. Dave’s a master of misdirection and the mindfuck segue. This ‘surprise’ attack seems to be a bit contrived and it’s obvious that ‘V’ had something to do with it, I cite his ‘ double crossing’ coordination with the bad guys as evidence. I’m thinking ‘double agent’ rather than ‘double crosser’. Then there’s the fact that ‘V’ is not evil as opposed to most of the bad guys due his musing that he “hopes the kid (Sydney) doesn’t get killed”. I think it was Max who made an off hand comment to V something to the effect that this being an attempt to join Arc? I think he already IS an Arc agent or very closely aligned and has been deep undercover in order to set up the major bad guys for a round up in one fell swoop.
And finally that last panel…I dunno what’s gonna happen next but very likely it’s not going to be Max and V duking it out.
Here’s a thought – not only is V an Arc operative, but he’s Maxima’s top secret paramour despite her over the top feminism. The next page will show V breaking out in a goofy (rather than his intimidating) grin and saying ‘Hiya Babe!” Maxi will respond with “C’mere Ya big lug.” And they fall into a massive lip lock thereby mindfucking most of the ArcSWAT crew. Naaaaaaa…
I think you would be able to actually hear the teams collective WTF through the boundaries of both fiction and internet.
I will admit that the same thought crossed my mind, though I assign it a low probability. I think V is actually a bad guy, just a guy with style and standards to which he plays. (interestingly, my Big Bad in my main universe also has the initial V and has style and standards to which he plays)
I expect a throwdown of some sort. But your theory is certainly not out of the bounds of reason.
Hmmm, reread my post and I did not mean ‘contrived’ as in an author/writer cheap trick. I meant that Arc did shenanigans to set this entire attacky thing up.
Talk about low probability events: V drops down to one knee and proffers a ring, offering her the position of Mr. and Mrs. Vehemence. She would be Maxima Vehemence and he would be Unabashed Vehemence (just “Bash” to his friends).
But isn’t he the “Challenge Accepted” guy from https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1189?
What does in universe reality have to do with a good shipping? :-)
Getting Maxima to agree to marry him would be a challenge, donchya think?
Unlike the shield the Light Hook does have some kind of proportional feedback. So cars feel like manipulating say toy soldiers, completely negating and then reversing Anvil’s movement (possibly more so with the sonic boom ring things) is like say grabbing a monkey out of the air and slamming it down and trying to grapple Vehemence would be like trying to wrestle a unpowered professional wrestler would be to unpowered Sydney?? Something like that? I’m looking forward to Sydney’s explanations in the training bit coming up.
Too bad she didn’t team up with Dabbler and lend the Light Hook’s strength to the sword. It can cut him so it just needs more umpf! Or as I mentioned in previous posts Dabbler should work on grease spells and spells that empower her team mates. I would really like to see the whole team learning to support each other better as time progresses. Like everyone else I think the training arcs will be more fun both comedy wise and strategically. Like with the Ender Wiggin series where he is training and the Whateley bits with Ayla. It also makes watching them goof up in actual combat less painful if you know they are going to go over that back at the base in meetings and training arcs until all that stuff becomes their greatest strengths. *crosses fingers*
As other’s have mentioned Sydney has taken a risk staying out of the shield longer than it takes to grab some air (if she even needs to do that yet). Yes, its unlikely this particular guy would feel any interest in her at this point and Maxima is very fast but its bad tactics and it would be something they can pick on during training.
Great tumble weed action. It is clearly going to be a joy for DaveB to write for a character who not only gets to reference all of geekdom but has an artistic flair and powers versatile enough to make little artistic “comments” during a fight! She’ll start drawing stuff in the ground with the PPO next.
Thank you for the great update DaveB. :)
…like a monkey?
Well, what would you prefer? A cat?
hope she doesn’t do a romanova nene reference sketch.
It quickly became clear I would be reading wiki’s for a long time to figure out what you meant in relation to this comic. So spill or I will happily live in ignorance! X-P
nene was one of the knight sabers from bubblegum tokyo in an early episode she etched a message to government/military spy satellites in the sidewalk it was not entirely family friendly
Sort of like what Patrick Jane did in a new episode of “The Mentalist” after he gave his FBI watch-dog handlers the slip so he could get his hotdog?
AH! Now that one I saw. Thanks. :)
Wow! Something referenced by me that someone actually understood! That… doesn’t happen too often :P
It must be a sign of the upcoming apocalypse.
Last image, absolutely insanely nice, so very very insanely nicely done.
I do love this. And the “serendipitous tumbleweed”… Sydney, is there ANYTHING you won’t snark?
Right now I’m betting 90% on a throwdown, 10% on this turning out to have been a scam by Vehemence and Maxima as mentioned by others. If a throwdown happens, I’m giving 20% that Maxima totally PWNS Vehemence throughout the battle (which may be as short as two punches — one from V, and the finisher by M), 30% that Vehemence gives Maxima the first real pounding she’s ever taken, and 50% that it’s a fairly even contest until one or the other pulls out some trick that either finishes the other guy or ends the battle in another way (for example, Vehemence teleporting away, having learned what he wanted).
She has taken a pounding before. Apart from dabbler, mister turban (not sure if he is named) from the villan page is a likley candidate to have gone to to toe with her.
Okay, have I somehow missed a big buttload of the comic? Because I can’t think of any combats involving Maxima taking anything seriously yet.
The fight with mister turban was off screen.
During the press conference Maxima said that there are two people that have gone toe to toe with her. One of them is on the team, probably Dabbler, and the other is presumed dead. On the villien page mister turban says, is Arabic(?), “Dead am I?”.
Ah. I don’t count it if I don’t see it. Maxima’s been built up as nigh-unbeatable, so this is either her chance to demonstrate her awesomeness in real combat, her chance for a real combat that goes on a bit, or her chance to have her head handed to her as a way of demonstrating just how badass Vehemence is. I gave my odds on which above.
Okay, I AM blind somewhere. Where the heck is the “Villain” page? I must be looking right at the link, but I can’t find it. I find “Cast”, but that doesn’t seem to show any villains.
The Villain page is where Fedorka was first introduced (it is the page that ends with Deus groping an image of Maxi with his assistant reading a newspaper thinking “He’s doing it again, isn’t he?”)
Here is the “Villain” page.
Well heck, that put a spin on things. Thanks for the translation.
Remember that the Explodey Bolo earlier hurt Maxima’s back. If V finds that weakness and exploits it, even if Max is stronger in theory she might still lose.
Aha! Sydney’s new power lies bare! The serendipitous tumbleweed! A power which, by her own admission, she did not have at the press conference.
A little surprised Anvil’s stepping off, seems like she and Max work well together, unless of course Max is intending to start blasting.
I can’t remember. Can Sydney make the force-field WITHOUT it encapsulating her?
Because if so, she could just encapsulate those two together, and let them go all-out.
No. Halo is always at the center of her shield.
Well, always inside it anyway, her placement within may or may not be not fixed
Not sure if she can move around inside the shield while the shield stays stationary but she is not set to always be in the center of it, as seen here in the last panel.
Didn’t find any page that clearly showed if it could be used in other configs than “bubble”, best one I could find was this one (3rd panel) but it still strongly suggests a “bubble” configuration. She hasn’t shown any capability to be able to encapsulate others.
Though wouldn’t surprise me if all that could be changed by upgrading that orb.
She flew with it during with Maxima during going out to the test range.
They (Sydney and shield) were moving in unison at that time, and was not really what I was getting at.
Maybe I articulated it poorly but what I was getting at is if she makes it big could she walk from one side to the other without moving the shield itself. So far I have only seen her shift her bodies position/orientation while inside.
ballroom the can’t touch this page syd moved about in the shield with it staying put
Thought that was Dabbles’ shield in front of Sydney in panel 3
And the last panel showing her near the top of the bubble is kinda what was getting at
So…. Crossing off the PPO and Lighthook, what other things might Halo contribute to the fight?
Offhand, I see her picking up her flyball and combined with the shield, making a cannonball attack.
She could use the telepresence power to scout, or confuse enemies. Force friendly fire incidents with the enemies.
Also she makes a decent tank/barrier and her genre savvy and tactical improvisation have proven more than useful. Not to mention she can use even the unknown orbs to inflict blunt force trauma.
I think whatever those last two orbs turn out to be may end up really changing her fighting style, even if they just end up being supplements for the others.
considering the size of V’s mouth, she could fire one of the orbs right into his mouth whilst he yammers and lodge it in his windpipe – at that point he’ll have a very limited period of consciousness, and he’ll be… distracted, to boot.
I’m curious about the usage of the word ‘serendipitous’ here. I really don’t see how it fits.
It’s a reference to “wild west” shootouts, where tumbleweed would roll across the background as the two combatants prepared to fight. She’s using “serendipitous” to mean “conveniently timed.”
It’s also a call-back to the last time she said it: https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1011
‘You mean you could’ve done that at any time?’
“No, not at any time, only when it was funny.”
That’s the correct way of escaping from handcuffs!
It’s never worked for me either way.
That’s because you in handcuffs is funny.
unfortunately, the team probably doesn’t have any Dipp
Can we get some commentary on the lighthook, please?
Like, why can Sidney easily lift a car with it without it taxing her, but Vehemence can actually drag her after it.
She donked her badonka because she was trying to pull him when he untwisted out of lighthook’s grasp. He was able to put enough momentum into a punch to “lift a space shuttle” which tells me he has a lot more momentum to work with than a car.
Forget momentum, he is stronger than a car, plus he is doing something most cars don’t slash can’t do: resist Sydney’s pull
Note, in addition to the rather impressive force output he can manage, that Vehemence’s response to Dabbler’s spell last post suggests his power source is magic, which may have caused odd interactions between him and Sydney’s “Space Magic” powerset.
Also we don’t have a sense of its limits but we can assume that a trying-to-drag-her Vehemence can put out more force than the weight of a car, which in turn is already more than a flying Anvil.
Curious whether Sydney can lighthook Stalwart off the ground or not.
also noted syd grabbed kenya when she had slowed near a stop keeping the force down and the hentiorb used throw mechanics to maximize the force delivered for least effort (not that it skimped on raw power)
I’m not convinced magic is the sole source of his powers, but it seems certain that he at least has anti-magic magic defensive abilities.
He’s a lot stronger than a car is heavy.
He also needs to be a lot heavier than a car is heavy.
No, he just needs to pull harder than the molestorb. Superhero physics. ;p
Technically he just needs to exert enough force in an opposing direction to counteract the force from the lighthook.
Whether that force is in the form of his own mass, friction against the ground, or him directly yanking on the lighthook, are all independent of each other, but all equally possible (for now – powers are unrevealed, other than that he can use them to give himself the effective abilities of super-strength, super-speed, and super-durability.
So Dave — will Syd ever make a reference to either Freakazoid! or the Animaniacs?
Because those were both cult-classic shows (especially Animaniacs, given how mind-bogglingly self-aware it was), and they seem like things Syd would know.
I mean, we already have Hammerspace, so that’s like 25% of the Animaniacs done right there.
I’m wondering why Sidney didn’t just grab him by his calf and lift him off the ground. I don’t care how strong you are, if you don’t have something to push off of or brace against when you punch you lose a lot of power. He would also lose defensive ability as well. he would be reduced from “block and dodge” to just block.
The issue is actually making him budge once you get said hentacle around him, be it calf, arm, body, or whatever. V was ready for it this time around, and though V may not be as heavy as a car, his own strength more than compensates for it. So, getting the hentacle around him is one thing, moving him, let alone lifting him, is another.
It looks like while it’s controlled by her will, it still has to be attached to the orb which is attached to her. And he’s very strong
Does this prove that the Shield can be moved without having to be shut down first? And slash or cutting holes in whatever surface it is going through?
I smell a anticlimactic curb stomp coming. Mmh allright, probably not, after that build up but still.
Having Maxi get curb-stomped would be pretty climactic, and probably highly messy
So…why did Maxima fly in and just stop gently? Why not go for the “one and done” punch — come in hot from behind, punch him in the back of the head? This gunfighter thing is cool, but why would you fight fair?
I think she’s still thinking in terms of sending a “we can beat you in a stand-up fight” message to other supers.
He seems savy to such attacks and may counter at the last second.
The aggressor is in the weaker position tacticaly.
She is playing this safe.
I think he has strength 5 (maybe a modified version different from anvil), defence 4 (he can take a hit yet the others have done damage), speed (he was fast yet now dabbler can dodge him easily so flexi stats like max?), his last power indicated by the tatoos is a wild card.
Max has her basic stats sitting at three although she clearly upped her defence earlier for drawing flack.
Because she’s being dramatic and trying to use psychology… Like studying his reaction to her completely unflapped manner of approaching him. The slow “I don’t give a fuck” attitude to her approaching.
At any rate, it’s also showing that she means business now… Hence the whole “you done fucked up son” comment from Sydney. Kinda like how suddenly Alucard says very calmly and in a measured tone: youtu.be/qhGilSRT7yU
Really? Really? A light hook tumbleweed, are you freaking serious?! While I’m glad that that super spaze fell flat on her ass with that “Ole,” of Vehemence. This girl needs to seriously get stomped down a few pegs. She is getting majorly annoying.
We spell “awesome” in different ways, you and I.
Ignore him; unlike most people, he doesn’t just make a comment about not liking something and go away to find something more his taste, rather he sticks around and trolls
Actually, it’s nice to see someone not in the “Screaming Orgasmic Fanboi” spectrum, and she is getting majorly annoying (hopefully this is just “Orator’s Licence slash Spin” and just her making her seem more badass than she actually was)
You make it sound like there’s no middle ground between “Screaming Orgasmic Fanboi” and the above tripe.
Yeah,different strokes for different folks. Trolls are best served by flaming blades.
Usual exhortation
No unusual exhortations?
That comes next ;)
Now imagine the possible distraction such manipulation could cause someone that wasn’t him or Maxima who is used to her
Finally Max comes out from hiding behind her troops. It is so on now!
When you are a lot stronger than your troops it is not called hiding.
Given the damage she can do against a lesser opponent it is better to hang back and coordinate and only act against the bigger stuff (and annoying opponents).
He’s clearly being cut by that sword, so unless that sword is enchanted and he’s got an err… ‘allergy’ to magic, he’s not invulnerable. So, is this suicide by cop or what?
It’s made out of magic and extraterrestrial materials by a super genius alien/succubus/doppelganger and has slots for magicite crystals in it. I suspect even w/o an allergy, it’d be better equipped to cut a very durable super than most things. The fact it’s only making scratches says a lot about his level of durability.
Those cuts don’t look very bad or caused any significant damage. Little more than a scratch.
They’re deep enough to draw blood, they’re deep enough to open an artery. He’s managing the damage and keeping it from becoming a problem.
Let’s not forget it is heavily implied, if not stated, that Dabbler fought Max to a draw.
No shock and surprise, Sydney tries the hentacle and Vehemence gets out of it (ole!). I was pretty much expecting it to happen especially after so many comments about it. Not that I expect it to stop, either.
Meanwhile, I am liking V a lot for the simple fact he is having way too much fun in this fight. This, despite the pounding he had received, and the only thing to show for all the team’s efforts against him are a missing tooth and a bunch of cuts on his arm that might as well be scratches instead. I am hoping for an interesting fight here against Maxima, preferably enough to make her at least sweat as opposed to a one or two page curb stomp.
Read V’s comment in panel 2 again. Either he’s crazy sure about his abilities, or he’s doing a death toll (“Attack me or be labeled a coward!”). I’m suspicious about what his powers might actually be (apart from being a tank).
Also, why did V take out Vektor & Opal? Maxima stated in the press conference that their enemies would either be incarcerated or interred. Allowing a whole group of enemies to run away would be a major blow to Archon’s image, and would still leave him ready to go one on one with the team.
So many questions, so many days till the next update..
it’s been suggested but not confirmed that he was acting to avoid being teleported away regardless of if opal had him included or not (he may not have known himself and just went with the sure route)
I think it’s less of a hard hard limit per se but it’s like a leverage thing. The more she has to counteract, the more proportional effort is required. I’m unsure of his mass but I do know he has power in spades. He also is an intelligent fighter. It’s more than just relying on power and muscle, there is skill there. He likely can position himself for maximum leverage making the power he has that much more effective.
Hrm NM posting is doing something weird.
Honestly at this point I think the smart money is on a whole lot of confidence with the ability to back it up. At no point during this fight did he seem actually worried about what any of them could do to him. The closest we have is likely his reaction to accidentally hitting Anvil, and that seemed more along the lines of ‘not the best move’ in terms of reaction.
If anything he’s clearly showing that as they are he’s out of most of the teams league in terms of what they can handle. Will a later rematch be different? Considering the only one at the moment with any idea of what their opponent can do is mocking their attempts to best him, I can definitely see ArcSwat working out backup plans beyond ‘go get Maxima’.
and leanders deathloke face is in place for the staredown
I’m just going to leave this here… youtu.be/AFa1-kciCb4
I can imaging trying to whistle that. I can also imagine a tea kettle doing a better job.
Maxima: Get one coffin ready.
You can post actual clickie linkies, cut and paste are so tacky
Nuuuuuu I got caught up waaay too fast….I need more of Sydney’s shenanigans….*is so tempted to do a proper archive dive*
That’s actually my plan. After the fight is properly wrapped up, I plan to just go and re-read the whole comic. Though upon reflection that is 257 pages and counting, but I’m already committed :P
I have been putting of doing that with precociouscomic.com and its two thousand page archive.
2000 pages is chicken scraps compared to “MoE”s nearly 5000 :P
Reading the comments is also a must :D
Max looks intimidating as hell in that last panel. Kind of like a very tall, very golden Elf person-look… with purple hair.
“I am your father, Maxima.”
“Snap kick to the nuts”
max: OK here are the court summons for failure to supply child support and child abandonment. the date is set for when dave finishes the first day of this comic.
If Max does a strength dump then adds her reserves to boost beyond 5… Anvil will be annoyed if she finishes this with a nose boop.
That’s easy for you to say.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qyL3gArv3o
Is it just me, or is Vehemence’s stripes glowing less and less? I think he’s running out of energy and has started bluffing.
If he is bluffing, V will be eating prison food through a straw. Max is not gonna hold back.
(owner of the restaurant appears behind v and shifts into a were bear and hits v in the back of the head Hart knocking him out and looks a max not happy at all) now who in the hell is going to pay for the damages!?
dabs or harem reply by handing the owner an arc application and a list of open store areas in HQ
+1 Me like, but that is more like Arianna’s job.
thanks you two that made my day :)
hmm does he look bigger in that last panel? more muscley and if he stood up straight he would tower over max
Given he himself is taller than Anvil, I’m surprised he isn’t larger.
Go Vehemence! Beat the tar out of Max! Make her a more likeable character by punching that INSUFFERABLE “I’m invincible and snide about it.” attitude out of Max!
It’ll make the writing overall a bit more respectable, too.
(I know it SEEMS like Maxxy should get at least a full issue or two of invincibility before somebody pulls a ‘shit’s getting real’ moment and Worfs her… but that’s kind of medium dependent. When ‘an issue or two’ can translate into YEARS of literally sneering at the audience in a comment enabled webcomic; you should probably reach for the ‘Stop being an unlikeable bitch’ switch sooner.)
Agree that she needs to be taken down a couple of pegs (not Peg, she’s still cool :D)
I see Maxima’s “snideness” more as a public facade than a reflection of her true character. I think how she talks to Sydney privately (such as page 191 and following), especially when she connects with her and makes her feel better, represents a softer, more accurate view of who she really is.
Stupid “191” link, why you not working?
From the last panel it looks like Sydney and Goth Harem go to the same hair stylist.
Side note: the chocobo waaark makes me wonder if terror birds made the same sound.
You know, I’m not sure the V “broke” the molestorb, or if he just slipped out. If the ‘tentacle’ was coming over his left shoulder and then around his chest and under his right arm, he’d only have to duck his head enough to slip out. Then, the twist/spin would probably release his arm.
And in Panel 3, you see movement lines showing the spin, and the arc of his back implies the ducking motion.
And then the slipping of the tentacle would cause Sydney to fall..
So, I’m not sure we’ve seen the limit of the molestorb yet, but rather a poor attempt at tying someone up.
He definitely slipped out (or spun with style). Aside from her own inexperience, Sydney can over time upgrade the powers of each orb, so who knows what kind of tricks she could do later on. Serendipitous tumbleweed aside.
I swear to God Dave! If the next fight is resolved in a single, anti-climactic page after a build-up like this I will…. be really annoyed….
Admittedly I won’t be able to do much else but COME ON, don’t be that guy!!
Don’t worry, I’m sure the fight will last at least a couple of panels, if not years. =OP
When you root for the “villain” and actually like the dude, something is either very wrong or very right about the comic.
I’ve gone thru the archive a couple of times so I think in this case is VERY right!!!
…and Dave, you’re the first writer that actually tries to make sense with laws of physics. I´m grateful.
Please keep on going!!!
No, it means the author is very good and doesn’t make ‘one dimensional villains’, as has been shown with most (but not all) of the Mook Squad so far (remember The Barberian?)
Quite right… I laughed my … well … laughed a lot!
Halo’s a chocobo… And Harem readies her camera to capture the embarrassment of the Clash of Ego Titans. Now all we need is Goose in a gravely voice to say “Daaaaaamn, they’re good”
And then Sydney’s all like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGp9P6QvMjY
A hole opens behind V and Max kicks him in yelling “THIS IS SPARTA!!!”.
I wonder if Opal can open portals through time as well as space…
can you find a link to the mixtape /music video version? I lost the record for it.
