It’s like a big cat toying with a little mouse. Ahhh, this just keeps getting more tense and better! I love the expressions!
Gosh that first sentence, he makes Reona’s love sound like a disease. I guess given his hatred for humans he probably would consider their “care” a bad thing.

Is it just me or does gunner look a lot older in this syrup than he ever has before? Seriously, it seems like he’s put on a few decades.

Those lines under his eyes… Imagine the wailing of the fangirls (and boys, I suspect) if all that psychic power is taking a severe toll on Gunner’s lifespan. :O
Zap has them on his nose. I don’t know why, but they just don’t look right to me without them.
That being said, psychic energy use does take a tole on the user, which maybe it something you’ll see more of in the next (and final) arc!

Oh man, “I know you can’t hurt me!” sounds like just the same bright sort of thing to say as “what could possibly go wrong?” or “what’s the worst that could happen” or “I think we lost them!” Or maybe “let’s split up the party…”
Marduk
Sure hope she’s right.
Doctor Zuber
NOOOOOO!!!!! You said final. Final is bad. Comics are supposed to last forever!
Doctor Zuber
Cliche? Perhaps. But it’s also the sort of thing people say. The first step . . . is denial.
I believe those are all well known as “famous last words….”
safyrejet
true facts.

I’m one of those few who will probably be happy to see an end to Zap. I think of all those old favorite TV shows, that seemed to last a little too long. Comics too. Stories, characters, should have an end. Otherwise they run into the absurd, repetitive, stale, dull, ludicrous, the phrase for TV shows is “jumped the shark”. I don’t want Zap to do that, go on “forever”. Life even has an end. Stories should end. I just hope that perhaps the dynamic duo of Chris and Pascalle will continue creating with a new story and characters.

While I really loved the dress she wore with Zap, the LBD is fantastic. I like how the stars shift on it as she move around.
And like Dr. Zuber, I too, will be sorry to see Zap! end and, like safyrejet, hope that you two, Pascalle & Chris, continue as a team in making comics.

And nothing says creepy like somebody who clearly hates you bursting your personal space bubble. *shudder*

do you plan to go back and redo the art for the earlier stripes
I am very glad for Calle’s response to your question. It would be a true shame for new readers to be denied the experience of seeing the evolution of Calle’s artistic skills over time as they read through the archives.
I have trouble not snickering and getting distracted when reading your post. We used to have a dachshund that we had nicknamed LBD (his real name was Arthur). In his case, LBD stood for “Little Big D!ck”, and was not applied ironically.
She shouldn’t challenge a psycho to hurt her. Especially with her mind now in his world.

That is one creepy expression on Gunner in the third panel. Looks like he’s about to take a bite out of her. Also, why the braid? Just a way to make him look a little more like a serpent? Not saying it looks kinda gay, but…
He has had his hair in a braid off-and-on through the past couple volumes, so I don’t know why you are asking about it now! He even has it in a braid in the main background image (which reminds me that it is time for me to change it).
Oh.. I get the feeling both Gunner and Renoa are in for a rude awakening. Gunner may find out that Zap’s protection of her has not faded completely… and Renoa may find out you’d be amazed what you can live through… lol! :)
It’s been almost a decade, an ending should be in sight.

Judging by the background. This is probably going to go bad for Reona.
Ori
Yeah, probably. Would be kind of predictably boring, though.
I’d like some Hellsing stuff to go out of Reona. Just for a nice change.
Marduk
hear hear
Kreldor
I think Reona is about to be introduced to neural induction pain experience. No that is not a ride at the amusement park. :P
sunphoenix
Thats Soooo Sweet! :)

And there’s that somehow delicious childlike aspect of Gunner’s peeking through again….
Darn it, Miz Pascalle! That’s the only time I love Gunner as a character and now you’re just /teasing/.

“Don’t fret, your Majesty, I’m just taking a little off the top.”
I noticed it earlier, I just never bothered to say anything. Also, speaking of being a little late to pick up on things (if that’s what you’re saying :P), I’m replying to this three days after posting it.
I’m not one. Gunner comes off as a whiny little brat lashing out at the world (universe) for not giving him the toys he was expecting. And sadly, he’s got the power to make it happen.
Toys he was expecting/genocide of his people. same diff!!

I wonder if “jumped the shark” comes from when the Fonz jumped a shark tank on his motorcycle on Happy Days. That show went on waaay past its prime.
Speedy Marsh
Yeah, if Hitler looked like Gunner, he probably would have had fangirls. :p Maybe he did anyway D:
I’m sure Anikin had fangirls even after he went all Columbine in the Jedi academy (even though he couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag … or pool of lava)
I have a feeling those crushes will be hard to maintain once Gunner comes out of hiding and starts the overt part of his plan.
Also, those super creepy evil yellow eyes we saw a while back – I think we’ve seen enough foreshadowing to know that those will be Gunner’s eyes. And I’m pretty certain that the rest of his visage will be equally effected.
