Young and impetuous…
We had planned to have a “red shirt” be killed off
right from the start.
He didn’t have a name until much later when we
decided to “officially” add him to the cast.
Seemed a bit too obvious to have an anonymous
addition like that.
But I have to admit the little guy kinda grew on me
after only a few comics.
Still… not smart running into a bunch of deadly
aliens like that now is it?

P.s. We added some extra material and sketches
on facebook here!
Oh yes. There is much to love here. This is beautifully done, I really like the visual style, and I’m a sucker for fast paced action in comics. I’ve never even played WH40K and I recognize the influence, although until got a good look at the pistol and read the comments Shadowrun was the first thought in my mind. Oh, and yeah, screw elves, the snots. You really should have some just to shoot. If I ever got to be a meta, I’d definitely go Dwarf.
Excited to have found this early. This one debuts Very high on my bookmarks list for webcomics
Awww poor idiot. Still this is survival horror mode not arcade mode! (still funner in arcade though, I know the rocket launcher code!)
Will there be a last second save or did that gut him nicely as it looks? Either way he did a near perfect Leroy Jenkins there didn’t he now?
Art, again loving it. But now it seems like there was too little blood. Funny coming from me after my last comment but that looked damn close or right on his heart. Not even a little pressure spray? Plus the claw almost looks like cool-aid dipped. Blood is something that smears over almost everything. Just looks too clean, if you wanted PG-13 though it passes and I forgive.
Can you please turn some of these aliens into giblits later though? Poor red bandana deserves it! Give him karmic justice at least!
You are correct that I’ve been very careful with the blood and gore to keep it as safe for children as possible. Don’t want to alienate potential (young) readers from the start with over the top gore as an introduction.
BUT I agree that I’ve been too careful in this case. It’s a deadly and messy situation so the use of blood for effect and drama shouldn’t be too shocking. So I revised the last comic. I hope you can appreciate the subtle changes.
On another note; elves will die by dwarven hands…painfully… I promise
