    I find myself rather curious as to what Gunner’s expression was in the panel where we only see the back of his head.

  • yes.

  • Anonymous

    rolling his eyes probably.

  • Considering it’s a song about being abducted by aliens, I felt it doubly appropriate.

    I wonder, since Naveed is a cat is she affected by catnip?

    BOOT TO THE HEAD!

    I think little billy is going to save the day…

  • I love Naveed’s pose in panel 5. She enjoys her job WAY too much. :3

  • Jorge L. Carreras Jr.

    She’s a sadist with an amputation sword fetish. I don’t think highly of William’s chances at all.

  • ExPaladin

    Cats.

  • I think it is one of my favorite drawings I’ve done of her. haha. It’s just so in character.

  • I think this.

  • She’s not really a cat so much as an alien we think resembles a cat.

    That being said, who knows what drugs work on Felinians!

  • and the boob!! Don’t forget the boob!

  • if only…

  • Cats, man, whyyyyyy.

  • It is certainly not looking good.

    Maybe I was talking about the squid…. :P

  • Juliest

    Did anyone else hear the stereotypical high-pitched man scream they try to fit into every movie for a lark? Anyone?…no? Ok never mind then…

  • Juliest

    Yes.

  • It’s called the wilhelm scream!

  • AAAaaaah. I get it.

  • Anonymous

    (I wasn’t talking about the squid.)

    just trying to save face and pretend like I contributed something.

    also, yay comics!

  • Yeah, I forgot that Billy is a nickname for William. Vitale never called him Billy.

    But oh god how cute.

  • Anonymous

    So now as the “little” kitty cat hunts him, she’ll call him Billy?

    (Stalking face) Billy? Billy, come out wherever you are….

  • Marduk

    I think it’s a sinister blank. That thoughtful look the badass villain just has to have. An icy expression that reveals nothing.

  • Marduk

    I hear it now.

  • Venture

    Poor Williams’s been jerked around like a puppet for so long (both literally and figuratively), that it’s easy to forget he’s a professional military man with relatively recent combat experience.

  • Yeah, he was basically plucked from the battlefield to get thrown into this mess with the psychics.

    He’s scrappy! He’s a bit out of his depth but he keeps swinging when he can and playing it smart when he can’t.

    Think of where he is at too, in the scope of the story, though! Allied with the rapidly crumbling GEF, given to Naveed as a reward for good behavior, and possibly his only salvation could come in the form of the rebels that he sentenced to death earlier in the comic.

    It’s a bad time for William.

  • sunphoenix

    “More Bounce, on the Pounce!”

  • Crestlinger

    Perfect time for her to be offed then. They have at least 1 night before Gunner gets suspicious.

  • me

    Pink uniforms? Is that to lull the enemy into a false sense of security or to shock them?

  • They are red with a bright light on them.

    BUT PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT IS WRONG WITH PINK.

    oh and Go Willy Go Run Run

  • safyrejet

    Good question. I love pink. Plus anyone who can pull off scary and deadly in pink are somehow all the more scary.

  • safyrejet

    I’m out for the weekend, get back Tues morning and yay! William is fighting back and there’s that promised boob kick. You always deliver Pascalle.

    “Don’t wait up! I’ll be out all night.” Oh how I love Naveed. She reminds me a bit of Harley Quinn. That’s how I imagine she sounds sometimes. Like that Harley on the 90s Batman series. I also agree with DigoDragon, Naveed’s panel 5 pose is just epic. Even from far away.

    BTW, I really love the visual layout here. The doorway in panels 3 & 5 is the same view, but there’s such a good progression on the idea of the chase going on. First it’s the fleeing William between a close shot of Naveed’s boot, then Naveed herself advancing in a sexy taunting menacing strut after him. Most excellent and very dynamic.

  • I never promise a boob kick I can’t provide!

  • Anonymous

    It would be great for Billy to make a cameo sometime before the end, as a shout-out to the more lighthearted early days. :)

  • Ori

    Boob Kick is not as effective as a Falcon Punch.
    Nice new sword Naveed is carrying there. May I presume you have been playing that new Final Fantasy game?

  • Anonymous

    I see we’ve gone back to not having Zap in the strip. :P

  • He’s still in the room.

    For now.

  • Haha, no. This outfit was designed way before the latest Final Fantasy iteration. We just wanted Naveed to have each of the typical anime-style swords throughout the series. Last arc she had more of a samurai sword because it was a subtle pirates v. ninjas fight.

    Just goes to show you that sword tropes don’t really change much!

  • The obvious answer is “it’s a girls color” and I’m like SUCH A GIRL over here. haha.
