  • Oh no, Efrem sprung a leak!

  • his psychic juices are getting squeezed out the cracks!!!!

  • He looks to be Arctic Blast ™ flavored. Delicious and refreshing!

  • Nick Cooper

    Bet Zap felt that.

  • Astralfury

    Well, I suspect that bare minimum is going to leave a bruise on gunner.

  • Koh

    Suddenly, a new hero appears. “By your powers combined…”

  • OMG, I read this as an incontinence joke.

    Reona:”Efrem… STOP! NOT ON THE RUG!”

  • “Reona, thanks for stepping in with your >>>indestructible supershield<<<"

    nah, he’s clothes and hair will be slightly covered in soot and slightly singed, but he will just be more ticked off :D

  • boxesofboxes

    FINALY!!! He’s the…the hell is that??

    The Tiger

    TIGER, tiger, burning bright
    In the forests of the night,
    What immortal hand or eye
    Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

    In what distant deeps or skies
    Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
    On what wings dare he aspire?
    What the hand dare seize the fire?

    And what shoulder and what art
    Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
    And when thy heart began to beat,
    What dread hand and what dread feet?

    What the hammer? what the chain?
    In what furnace was thy brain?
    What the anvil? What dread grasp
    Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

    When the stars threw down their spears,
    And water’d heaven with their tears,
    Did He smile His work to see?
    Did He who made the lamb make thee?

    Tiger, tiger, burning bright
    In the forests of the night,
    What immortal hand or eye
    Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

  • Speedy Marsh

    Why was Excelsior able to find the psychics, when she was designed to find Reona?

    Does Reona’s psychic shield really come from Zap?

    What tattoo did Reona have, before she lost her arm?

  • Speedy Marsh

    He should’ve been a cop. He’s a blue blood.

  • Psiberkiwi

    Because when Zap designed Excelsior, he thought Reona was a psychic too…

  • Speedy Marsh

    What if she is? Maybe she’s a psychic, and even she didn’t know it. Have we ever seen her eyes, while she’s using her psychic bubble?

    I’m thinking the reason Zap had dreams about her is that she’s the last female psychic. I know she thinks she’s human, but what if she’s wrong?

  • nezumisutarusu

    I just spent part of the day yesterday reading this comic for the first time. I’m all caught up and it’s almost over. I’m saaaad. :, (

  • You made it just in time! :D

  • safyrejet

    For a moment I thought Reona and Efrem were underwater like when they were with the Aquarians.

    Oh Snap. I didn’t expect that. Good move Reona. And props to you Efrem, for apologizing. Even though it was pretty much a I’m-gonna-die-so-this-is-my-last-chance-to-say-I’m-sorry sorta thing. Still, it takes guts to say you’re sorry.

  • Cool, guess we didn’t need Zap. So, who’s up for ice cream?

  • Kindra Coates

    Arm cannon would have been better, but I’ll take a concussion. (Yes, I know it really won’t stop Gunner, but it OUGHT TO!)

  • Speedy Marsh

    I’m in! …As long as Gunner hasn’t destroyed Ben & Jerry’s.

    (I doubt even the Gunner fangirls could forgive that.)

  • Speedy Marsh

    There’s still time for that. Also time for Reona to Gibbs-slap Zap with her metallic hand.

  • Speedy Marsh

    Payback’s a blast.

  • chrisbrady

    Ew. Just… Ew.

  • I always thought her totally unique eye color was a Chekov’s Gun too, but so far all evidence seems to point to the contrary – except what you just described.

  • Psiberkiwi

    Last female psychic? Oh, now -there’s- a possibility… How’s this for an idea?

    Reona’s parental units decide to leave the psychics homeworld (for whatever reason), and either die young or just decide not to tell Reona of her true heritage, letting her believe she is simply a baseline Terran, and anything that happens to her as a result of her psychic heritage she simply writes off as something else.

    Something else to consider: What if the ancestors of the psychics were humans, and they came to their ‘homeworld’ via a Human Diaspora in the far past and, either due to their genetics or something about their new home, psychic abilities developed into what they are today.

  • acidic

    After taking a reading hiatus for like two years, I’ve finally caught up again yay!

  • just in time for the ending!!

  • Crestlinger

    Plot twist Achieved…almost.

  • sunphoenix

    Is it just my romantic heart seeing what I want to see… or do I see the glimmer of a “love remembered” in Renoa’s frightened eyes? :)

  • Take that!

  • Brntrogdor

    I started just a few months ago… I love the art, the story… and the fact that you are confident enough to end it!
    *Cough* *Cough* ONEPIECE *Cough* what?

  • JusB

    This had better not be one of those “Zap sacrifices himself and Reona takes solace in Ephrem’s arms while they remember the second chance Zap has allowed them in life” kinda ending, is it?

    …Please? For the love of zod, please??

  • Derkins

    that would be very princess leia

  • Speedy Marsh

    After the psychic home world was purged, any psychics off-world would have immediately gone into hiding. If Reona’s parents realized that they were about to be caught by the GEF, they would have had to quickly find a safe place for her. Possibly with a human family, or in an orphanage.

  • Speedy Marsh

    Zap’s not Reona’s brother, right? ;)

  • Speedy Marsh

    Oh, right. Efrem doesn’t work too well, with his blood outside his body.

  • Speedy Marsh

    Robot is gonna convince Excelsior to teleport all those biological types into the sun, and the two of them will fly off into the sunset. (Flying into a planet’s shadow doesn’t sound as romantic.)

  • Derkins

    lol I knew someone was going to go there, after I said that. Heh, so of course not. It’s not the exact same story, but it would be reminiscent. Leia didn’t know who she was, had been kept a secret from herself. Turns out she’s from this powerful bloodline and had this whole big destiny. You know. Parallels. And alternatively, like Leia and Han Solo, her and Zap didn’t really get along at first. ;)

  • YOU GUYS.

    There’s only like 35 pages left.

    What are you with these crazy plotlines.

  • Justin James

    35 pages left? This is the first I’ve heard of that. I don’t want it to end… Will there be another comic coming?

  • Justin James

    Good, good…. Thanks for the link.

  • safyrejet

    Your fans are writing your story for you. You’ll just have to redraw the last 35 pages. Sorry. ;P

  • Speedy Marsh

    Your last, best hope for Zap! fanfic.

  • Karretch

    Now that’s just a bit mean and unfair. Yes, One Piece has been going on for a long time. Yes, there’s no immediate plan to end it anytime soon.

    However, just because one author/creator has a shorter series doesn’t discredit the quality of a longer running one for choosing to have it be long. One Piece could have ended long ago, but would it have been as fulfilling and eventful? Maybe, maybe not.

    There’s also the inherent difference between a serialized publication backed by strong publishers and millions of buyers to an independent publication on the internet for free followed by a small fraction of that.

    Eiichiro Oda has a plan for the series that just happens to span a long ass time. Zap!’s plan, by content not necessarily time, is/was much shorter. Both are great stories that have their own way to be told. Just enjoy what you have, await what still is to come, and cherish what’s soon to be/has gone.

    TL;DR – Don’t be a hater for something just because it’s gone on for a long time. Arguably by that definition Zap! has gone too long as well, taking ~11 years to only have 7 issues. (not that the time taken diminishes the effort or splendor of Zap!)
