708 | People of Earth

Gunner knows when to keep a speech sweet and simple. Don’t want to lose the audience’s attention!

This should be good. They have a score to settle.

This is Gunner in a better mood.

Through Zap’s Magic Psychic Powers.

True. He started off with “People of Earth…” instead of going straight into “Die.” first.

Well that was subtle

“Nothing personal, it’s just business… who am I kidding, this is very personal!”

Why do I get the feeling that Gunner has finally screwed the pooch, regarding his previous “allies?” And that they may end up siding with Zap now in bringing him down?

Who says his plot is going to be foiled?

Yep. Gunner’s got a flare for the simple and direct.

But I don’t think he’s bothered to ponder.. earth does not just have ‘earthmen’ there nowadays. Just like I’m sure ‘earthmen’ have made homes on various other alien worlds… so have non-humans made homes on earth. The areas we’ve seen of known space are pretty cosmopolitan.

So its obvious his quest for justice has long gone off the rails.. now he is just a stupid terrorist… killing people.. ‘because’… he doesn’t know anything else to do with himself.. what a looser!

I would imagine that humans are still the Majority on Earth. It is the home planet, after all. Kind of like, the USA is made up of like 12% immigrants or something like that, and there are something like 5% of Americans living abroad. (these figures could be completely wrong, it’s been a while since I heard the proper figures and they may have changed or I could be misremembering. I’m also too lazy to Google. But you get what I mean.) So if someone were to wipe out the USA they’d be eliminating a massive amount of non-Americans, but still mainly Americans. Just like there’d be a few Americans left throughout the world. I would imagine the figures wouldn’t be too different in a Universe where humans have the ability to travel to different planets, percentage wise. So, to Gunner, the deaths of what probably amounts to a few hundred thousand (or more) non-humans is just for the greater good.

Earth. Shouldn’t there be a Starbucks visible or did we finally get away from having one on every street? ;P

Nice giant digital screen effects in that last panel. You could kick off a series of Gunner pop art with that.

He never viewed them as anything more than tools, so I don’t think he’s concerned about making any “allies” into enemies. He doesn’t even care if Naveed is “with” him.

At least he was direct

Smartest thing he’s done yet. Finally dropping the monologue. And he manages it with a degree of style.

But….I gots a hunch about those satellites….

Freezer burn?

Why monologue when you can get straight to the killing?

Does Panel 2 have anything to do with Panel 7? Nice “easter egg”, Lepas. ;)

Sad that Gunner still fell for one of the oldest warnings from Evil Antagonist Pitfalls for Dummies (maybe two). Wonder if his mistake was “quick enough” not to interfere with his plans?

You can go first. In a fire.
*bitchslap Gunner, Alucard style*

Monsters vs Aliens: “…it’s just business.”

Unfortunate for Earth.

Oh. Well then.
