Yeah. Gunner doesn’t like Reona too much.

Look, I made you a desktop version of the middle panel before you even had to ask me about it! I know you so well. :P

Gosh, and then I made this too. Lots of treats for you this week! Thanks for reading!

    Lepas, you’re a mind reader too!  *snags wallpaper* Thanks!

    That is quite better, faster, and more convenient than simply having Naveed spend the next few issues retelling everything from her perspective…which would likely simply boil down to something like: “Then I wanted to kill Red. More stuff happened and I again wanted to kill Red. More people showed up and I wanted to kill Red even more.”

    Also, seeing Gunner like that makes me think he is going to say “Alas, poor Yorick…”

  • This is possibly your best page ever.  The way you filled the background with flashback images really draws the reader into the scene.  Big props.

  • Also, I’m struck by the way you convey the mix of intimacy and control in Gunner and Naveed’s pose.  Way to capture this (really messed-up) relationship in a single image.  *big thumbs up*

  •  Aw, thanks! That makes my day(night)!

  • Ha ha, thanks! I knew all those drawings on my blog of them making out would come in handy! They were totally for research, I swear!

  • Having psychics in the cast comes in handy during recap scenarios, for sure. :p

    soooo….I think i may have been a teeeeeeeny bit off with my suppositions of his intonations from the last page.

    this is a nice, quick and calm amalgam of “WTF DID YOU DO NAVEED !”  without being gauche.  *clap, clap, clap, clap*

    now, were i a pilot (which is what it reminds me of),  that pic of naveed playing with the yarn is something i would be proud to display on my aircraft.

  • Haha typical best-friend/girlfriend relationship right there with Gunner and Reona XD Don’t worry guys, Zap can share ;)

    I know that Zap’s eyes also do the slit look when he’s being uber psychic, but do Efrem’s as well?

  • Chatterbaby

    LOL yes you DO know your readers very well indeed.

    And yes splendid coloring of the page.

    aaah, ok, it was kinda subtle in that so I missed it… thanks!

  • Thanks! :)

  • Angela Griffin

    TOTALLY not what I was expecting, and way more AMAZING than what I was expecting!
    Gunner still looks kind of like he’s squishing Naveed’s face, though…

  • Psionicost

    Ok, NOW he fixates on Riona. Seems he didn’t care too much when Naveed and Riona were going at it last time.

  • It’s okay. She likes it rough.

  • Shadowmerc

    he knows that Riona is the  reason he had so much trouble with Zap and is now becoming somewhat of a nuisance for his plans of galactic domination…MWAHAHAAHHhaaahaahahah……ahem…*cough*…sorry.

    always liked that name…’Riona’,….takes me back to my days of playing FF

  • Reona and Rinoa, respectively! :P

  • Gunner v. Reona has been a long time brewing! And I sort of love that it has that typical relationship rivalry beneath it. They have a scene in this volume, oh, it is going to be so good!

    thats what i said…Reonoa,….stop putting letters in my mouth !!

    ok, i will admit it,.. I am terrible with names, i need a golf handicap for remembering them. 

    still like both the names and not because they SOUND alike. :P

    FORE !!

    …. I apalogize in advance “Who’s that laaaady? (who’s that lady?)”

    if it is sing along time….

    “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On”  would be more appropriate.

    the past few days, it is getting hilarious watching my monitor rock out while i’m staring at it.

  • Trashbandit

    Ha ha. While I was reading the strips following this link, I found one with an awesome title! Love this comic. So good. Loved this title, too! :P

  • Absolutely love this page. This story is getting better in every aspect, Pascalle.  I know I’m not a weekly reader but it’s so Awesome to see the story progress at such a great pace.Keep up the lovely work.

  • And I never did.

    lol!

    I was about to say, “Hey, you forgot to draw the rest of Reona’s arm past Gunner’s elbow” but then wow lookit her arm was already cut off. CONVENIENT!!

    By the way, beautiful panel. You know the one. :)

  • That’s why I had her arm cut off. I just couldn’t be bothered to draw ANOTHER arm!

    Thanks! :)

    new question from following that link:  Zap’s the Falcon, Gunner’s the Serpent, what is Efrem?

  • Anonymous

    oh yeah…  I vaguely remember forum talk about that…  and I never saw that image so…

  • Reona was just some human Zap had a crush on. Now Gunner realizes that she may be more closely tied into things than he thought.

  • Thanks Jazyl!

    Just letting you know, the ads are getting a LITTLE intrusive on the site. The space above the comic, which is supposed to get a banner ad? It’s got a banner ad, a 4×3 panel ad, AND a tower ad, all stacked atop each other. Pushing EVERYTHING else on the page down by a whole bunch.

  • Anonymous

    Agreed.  Simply fantastic. 

  •  One of our ad providers is having some trouble with their code and instead of each ad getting put into its proper slot all three of them are getting dumped into the top area. :/

  • Angela Griffin

    Oh…. I see now. I remember having seeing that and thinking, “What’s with the random tiger?” NOW I get it

    Also, what’s with Gany’s perma-lock emo mode?

  • Syl

    New Zapling here. I can’t help it! The artwork and story is too fantastic. Good job good job! :D

    …also, Gunner is pretty. Awful, but pretty. Can’t help that either, I suppose. o.O

    First of all, that’s Callisto, not Ganymede.
    Second, they always look like that.
    Third, they could all secretly be members of the band Kiss or something…

    Hello, been reading for a few years but was too shy to post. I started reading when the scene with Reona standing in front of the stained glass was posted. I’m not good with words, but I just want to say that this has remained my favorite comic for all these years. I read online comics on and off and don’t regularly view most of them. But I usually check Zap weekly. I adore it. The story and the art are top notch. :
     
     The blog is fun too. i love to get to see some of your partial or rough work Pascalle. I think your work is lovely at every stage. I just became an art student (3d modeling) and I hope I can draw with as much charm as you can one day

    Thanks for the experience you guys! I’ve appreciated it.
