Sit-rep: Back to Tros and Go!Anna… with Sista Superior who was last blasted by Contessa Q… see page 7.103 for that takedown. Maybe Phlache can defeat the Rarg with two missiles… wait, who are we kidding?
Thank you for hanging in there while I got my head out of my butt: I really needed to figure a few things about the story – I had been concerned it wasn’t working. Having reread it all I was actually happier with it than I expected to be. So that was a plus! At any rate I needed to be OK with the story and sort out a few kinks for what is to come.
Patrons: Over on Patreon page 118 is now up…
Next update: Sunday August 8, 2021: Not having powers sucks!
I can’t wait to see how they resolve this…!
Let’s hope Sista Superior is taken out of the game for good. There’s so much else going wrong that they really don’t need one more headache.
Seems like a waste of ammo. If Der Rote Verteidiger couldn’t punch a hole in that thing what makes her think a missile will do any better.
And somehow Sista Superior is still alive. I’m assuming she is since corpses don’t need restraints. She might come in handy later. Hair port can drop her off in the middle of a Rarg assault team. Two birds one stone.
It’s nifty to see how easily Tros is bending that rebar to make makeshift handcuffs. Subtle way to show strength. Usually such things would be remarked on or front and center, but this is just shown as a normal thing that’s just expected he can do.
“You can go assist the other heroes, luckily my ALIEN STRENGTH will allow me to bend this earth metal stick.”
Woooh, updates! I’m late to the party, but it is still a party, right? At least I feel like it should be.
Thanks for hanging in there, likewise. Or more. Probably more. And great thanks to whomever or whatever had a hand in that, that you’re okay! I wasn’t concerned. But I could’ve become devastated, if you were not.
I guess this story still carries significant risk of making me feel many unpleasant feelings. But I’m happy to hear that you’re happy with it, I think that makes it pretty much certain that it is a good story. Not all good stories are a pleasant read evoking pleasant feelings. I’m still convinced that I don’t want to read too much unpleasant stuff, but coming from you and dealing with these beloved characters, I want to read it even if it is unpleasant. I will set aside what other unpleasant stuff that I might have otherwise made room for, follow along and see what I learn. I might be a bit more sporadic and less on-time with my comments though, as there will be days where reading will have to wait until a better day.
Anyways…
Good page. @Ave Messer makes a good point. And I think launching missiles is misguided, it is more likely to just bring unwanted attention to the ship than to do any useful damage.
I feel like this sequence has been a call back to page 24. “Less punching… more strategizing.” I guess this is more evidence that Euro Magellan is a younger team than Force Magellan. GoAnna! must be GoIng nuts right about now.
Hey Grace! You mentioned in the intro to Page 112 that you had saved the comments from the Left Hanging page. With that page unpublished, are those comments no longer available to us nostalgic types, or are they archived somewhere?
I have them cached, need to have a bit of a tinker before I can publish in a format that looks okay. Maybe a week or so…
Not intending any pressure, Grace, but would we be able to have a status update on comment resurrection efforts? Naturally, I expect you have a lot on your plate, but was just curious.
Grace!! So glad you’re back! I do apologize if you felt pressured by my comments during the break. I like the stories you’ve been telling! And honestly, I don’t really mind when an artist needs to take a break from their work – I follow other artists that do that, and I don’t get on their cases like I did yours. I guess I just got invested. That’s good, right?
Anyways, welcome back!!
Yep, all good. I read webcomics too and it can be disappointing when the creator drops off the radar, so I not only understand it should also make me do a better of communicating my hiatus status than I do. Every time I tell I myself I’ll do better, then I don’t…. :/
Don’t shortchange yourself too much on this point. In general I think you actually do communicate your hiatus better than most webcomic artists. Sometimes perfectly. Sometimes not, but we forgive you. I’m no good at keeping to self-imposed deadlines myself, I don’t even have any good tips about it :p
