Grrl Power #744 – Recycling
Okay, so, we’re all on board that this is Sciona, right? Right. I don’t quite have a Who’s Who for the combined Escorpia/Sciona entity yet. I didn’t want to use panel two with the busted nose for the mugshot.
BTW, this all happened sometime after Sydney got stuck on the Alari homeworld, but before she came back. I forgot to make a note of that on the previous page. Don’t worry though, this flashback will only be a few pages. On the topic of flashbacks, I know people like to say the comic has been in flashback since the first few pages, but I like to think of those first pages as a flashforward.
That is nice grouping. The guy was like, two meters from her, but still. He was shooting angry.
I’m sure a wound like that would be basically spraying blood. Not like anime spraying, (warning for hilariously cartoonish live action gore) but there’d probably be enough that you wouldn’t be able to see the wounds. I felt like drawing them though, so maybe Sciona’s already begun healing herself. A good blood mage probably wouldn’t want to waste blood if she could help it after all.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. $1 and up, but feel free to contribute as much as you like.
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.
Just pointing this out.
Sciona is not a role model.
Depends on the role
She’s certainly fucking better than Rico
She’s certainly an entertaining, multi-dimensional villain though.
Well, she lives the crazy life. She just wants to take away his pain.
What is with Sciona and breast size?
For some girls, Breast envy does exist.
Looks like Sciona just got herself an upgrade.
I can confirm. I wish i had nicer breats
I can confirm. Howling death specters have awful breasts.
For trans girls especially…
At her heart she’s vain and self-centered.
At her heart she’s metal AF.
(because lead… I’ll leave now.)
Wanting bigger breasts does not make you vain or self-centred….
Darn, you can see the perforated bone of the rib cage. but… no exit wounds? Unless Rica was plugging her with hollow points, there should be exit wounds.
The exit wounds are covered by the top, you can see them in panel one
That and the angle is different, she was shot from above while seated, but panel two is showing her att the same height as the viewer.
The exit wounds shown in panel 1 seem to be consistent with FMJ ammo.
Rico shot down, last page, she broke the chair (you can still see the arms tied to her arms in panel HEFT)
I would laught my ass of i the gun went “click” and they all just stood there looking embarrassed XD
And then she kills them manualy.
So what’s happened to Rico’s gun-hand glove, #743 panel 3?
Probably the same thing that happened to Scicorpia’s right thumb and left-chairarm
The chair arm could theoretically slipped of, but the problem with her thumb is that it’s a left hand on her right arm, likely due to Dave putting his own hands in that pose for drawing reference.
Whatever hungry ghost gets Rico’s body after this is going to need an eye-patch and a hat.
Maybe he can borrow one from Nnoitra Gilga.
Oh so they have the same weakness as Sydney? Good to know.
Am i the only one bothered that..Thats not actually a good grouping for that range? that’s a horrid grouping and that man should be ashamed of his aim
Yes, because at that range, it could have been a lot worse due to recoil
It depends on how fast you fire.
If you fire, aim again, fire this grouping is beyond lousy.
This looks like: fire, realign (not aiming), fire, realign, fire so the grouping is not bad.
Just thought of something: if the Colonists in Africa left before the attack, how many of them did Sci free from the battery? And does that mean there are two of them? Or did the soul-skull ‘vanish’ (like Mark Hamill in that time-travel movie)
The Alari Homeworld appeared to be densely populated judging from the rubble.
Warned in advance they would have been able to send out a vast rag tag fleet of refugees (think Dunkirk instead of Battlestar Galactica) but even at that it would only save a sliver of their population.
The people in the Soul Battery are people who didn’t get a berth in the evacuation, and may have had to all be blood mages in order to use the device.
We saw the ruin of one city, that would be like looking at Vegas and assuming the whole of Nevada was the same
You trying to tell me that the USA isn’t a massive sprawl of casinos and neon signs?
See, if I were Rico in this desperate situation, I would drop my weight to get under the gun, let go, and run like hell. If I were Rico’s bud, I would already be gone.
A bit of an art mistake in the last two panels: she’s using her right arm to push the gun back, but she has a left hand. I’m guessing Dave put his own hands together in that pose for reference and didn’t realize it would result in the wrong hand on the wrong arm.
Her left hand is holding his head, the ‘extra’ hand you are seeing is his left hand trying to push his right arm down while her right hand is pushing his left back
I know it’s a trope for the guys with guns to keep using their guns even if they didn’t work, but I guess the saying is “if your only tool is a hammer every problem looks like a nail.”
