    first panel—– “GELFLINGS!!”

    it seems gunner put their ‘heads in the gutter’, so to speak.

    and the…*GASP*…naveed’s face!, it is gone!!

    did gunner ‘wipe that smile off her face’?!!

    and efrem has no mouth!!….he really is a ‘silent partner’ in all of this !!!

    my bad pun generator has been acting up lately……wound too tight….

    and something else about a sprung spring, stripped gears and all that…..

    dont mind me,….i just have a screw loose at the moment.

    oh,…and kak-kaw !

    Oh HELL!

    That is your career dissipation light…going into overload!

    How does that feel…puppet/play-thing?

    I could have made a comment that contributed to an intellectual and sophisticated conversation, I chose to go this route instead.

    I have no regrets.

    The Evil Genius ™ is monologuing! He’s going down! :)

    Ahh, I love when Gunner is extra sneaky and evil! If only the poor generals had known that they weren’t even close to being in the top two villains of this story.
    Also, nice uniforms for Gunner and Efrem. With Gunner wearing yellow trim and Efrem sporting blue, I hop Zap shows up with red trim to finish out the primary colors.

  • Gunner is in yellow – psychic color is yellow.
    Efrem is in blue – psychic color is blue.
    HMMMmmm.

  • MDude

    Well this is explains a lot of things I was wondering about.

  • Kind of wraps it up, huh?

  • Astralfury

    Well, that certainly explains the confusion on the president’s face when confronted in the dark.

  • I know. I always thought that part was so sad.

  • Astralfury

    I like the way it was presented, going into that I bought into the idea that he was a bumbling idiot who brought what happened upon himself.

    In reality Gunner exploited a blind spot by creating a weakness in the form of those he trusted most, both effective, brutal and cruel. It’s SO Gunner.

    Too bad it’s not going to be much of a fight… Would be nice to see these two goons go down fighting and destroy some of the scenery doing so.

  • safyrejet

    Aw man, Gunner just keeps getting more epic.

    I kinda hate that word “coup”. I know how it’s supposed to be pronounced but I always instinctively pronounce the “p” and that just makes sentences sound extra silly. Sorry Gunner, I don’t mean to make your sentence sound silly.

  • Crestlinger

    Graendal level manipulation there. *Applauds

  • Everyone who wasn’t in the livestream to hear my sound effects has NO IDEA what that is about.

    And we’re not going to tell them.

    I hate gunner and envy his ingenuity at the same time

  • kerrie

    so Zap’s green?

  • Any Key

    You and your fancy logic and clever coloring.

  • Ori

    Okay, so what’s the deal with Gunner delivering the entire needless expose`?
    I suppose he wants them to conform to licking his boot or something as his do-bidders or he would’ve killed them already. Then again, what more use has he of them anyway?
    Nor do I see the motive/gain he had from assassinating puppet-president. The dufus would’ve done anything he’s told and believe anything he’s told until he’s served his purpose.
    This whole thing seems rather needlessly convoluted.

  • Really? I think it’s so simple! He wanted the GEF decapitated and he had them do it for him. It’s much simpler than some complicated takeover plot, and his machinations ran in the background throughout the entire series!

    Then he had them come to him so he could finish the job. He’s just gloating because he’s proud and he likes to watch people suffer.

    With the GEF in disarray, Gunner and the psychic army will have a much easier time going about on their killing business.

    It’s not Gunner’s first plan, it’s the contingency plan. The first plan was of course to get one of the psychic ships and just kill all humans the easy way.

  • I forget that the majority of people who read Zap! do not participate in the tumblr fan community and have thus not seen any of my sketches/artwork for the stuff that is about to happen.

  • Ori

    I see he has painted his garment to indicate himself as #2.
    Does that means he’s actually willing to be submissive to Zap and acknowledge him as #1?

  • It’s the same design as his tattoo, it just happens to look like a 2.

    Zap and Gunner’s big flashback is coming up at the start of the final chapter and will explain everything about them, but Gunner was very loyal to pre-mind-wipe Zap.

  • oh, you know how I do.

  • I think that he would take that as a compliment.

  • Anonymous

    Hmm…so…then what comes of things with Reona basically BRINGING him one of those said ships?

    I suspect he would…

    Coup is French for “cut”. Blame them for it… >:-D

    Ahh… Can’t wait.

  • IT’S A TERRIBLE IDEA!!!

  • safyrejet

    That will probably be the EPIC!!!!! climax battle sequence to end/save the world we’re all anxiously awaiting. And yes, epic needed to be all caps with exclamation marks there.

  • safyrejet

    That’s what is making him such an amazing villain. You hate him and love him and love hating him and hate loving him all at the same time. He’s a quantum superposition villain.

  • Anonymous

    Yea, I thought he was a good guy, initially, because he’s such a suave guy. My mind was blown

  • Anonymous

    That’s what makes me hate him so much XD

  • it’s so saaaaad.

  • Scenery destruction coming soon enough!

  • keemew2

    Oooh, poor Billings! That is terribly sad. Killed by those you loved with no idea why. Gunner you manipulative jerkface! Oh, how I laothe you! I sure hope he can be defeated before he manages to start his plan, I don’t want anyone else to die. ;_; so sad! Oh, and….DON’T HURT WILLIAM!!!!! >_< I'm sure theres another reason you need him alive! Right? There's just gotta be SOMEthing!!!

  • Aw, man!! Next week’s page is so good. Hold on!

  • Ori

    Yeah, I know, it’s a snake.
    So little insecure hate-ridden bully Gunner missing his childhood look-up-to mentor older friend, eh?
    Aww, how cute. He just want to be a small happy family again. And all alone in the universe.

    Narcissism truly knows no bounds.
    At which point someone bigger&badder shows up and smack you in the ass.

    Wow. I’m surprised nobody said anything about Naveed questioning her own motivations now. She’s gotta be thinking, “Did I really want to do all those things he asked me to do? Do I really want to help him with his plan? Do I really even love him?”

    I mean, she’s standing right there listening, and she’s no dummy. The only explanation I can think of is that Gunner isn’t letting her have doubts.
