awww crap…thats not good….
good comic though!
No, it's not good at all.
hm… so it is combat, not friction… interesting
Thats a nice second frame
Hmmm following from what we allready know can we rule out the damage in slipspace as he was fine when communicating with Ferial and earlier and it is only now with the influence of a 'insane' cavalcada. So from my point of view he appears to have considered ferial's offer
I really love this current plot twist. I can't wait to see how it is resolved.
I'm glad you're enjoying it. I actually had an epiphany last night that's going to make it even better.
Can't wait o
Thanks, I had fun making it. Did you know that the deployable covers actually expand a little when they're destroyed?
but (humor me for a moment) what if he was altered in slipspace? that brings up a whole new set of questions, like who (or what) could have done it?
The meeting with Ferial might not necessarily have happened in realspace, though, right?
I'm willing to entertain the possibility, though I've got a feeling that it didn't, which of course mean absolutely nothing.
He may already have been problematic while dealing with Ferial, of course. Just because he appeared sane then doesn't necessarily mean the he was so.
Of course, Ferial may simply have left a virus after communicating with him.
Yes but it is still in Ferial's best interests to have the reclaimer alive. Also from what I can tell he wants reclaimer to unite all of the cavalcada.. possibly so he can destroy them all in one go?
I suppose its possible that damage in slipspace coupled with an insane cavalcada would lead to problems…
the real question is how is he going to get around all of this to unite portent with the ones in his head?? brute force or sneak attack
How about a little of both?
A sneak force? A brute attack?
A snute brack. A break arce.
A sneak force? A brute attack?
What did you use for Portent's weapon? A Brute Shot?
Rocket launcher, actually. I really wanted to use a fuel rod cannon, but you can't have one of those on Narrows, which was both disappointing and frustrating.
Mmm… not incredibly Forerunner, either.
Can you put a banshee on narrows??
Fair question. I'm pretty sure you can't.
Wrong, I tried.
Loving the sounds effects. My favourite is SHKKKKT! I have fun saying them out loud… :$
Hehe, I had a little bit of fun coming up with those. It was actually kind of difficult trying to figure out how the sounds I was hearing in my head should be spelled. I'm still not sure I quite nailed it, but they're at least close.
Exactly so.
What do you mean? When they're damaged, or when they're actually fully destroyed?
When they're fully destroyed. As they collapse and ultimately explode, they actually expand by roughly 30% first. I only noticed it because I was advancing the film frame by frame looking for the ideal screenshot.
I would surmise it is Bungie's ingenuity that included a moment of energy dissipation caused by the breaking of the force keeping the energy contained in a shield form, resulting in the appearance of an expanding shield.
Very good…i guess this rules out my first theory, although i was already starting to dismiss it from my mind. So…now all is left to know is:
-Why Portent is attacking Reclaimer.
-What Portent is attacking with.
-What Ferial's offer was and if Portent took it.
-And how Reclaimer can project energy covers from his face… (jk)
I like the sound effects in panel 2, they seem fitting
And those are all answers you'll receive – some sooner than others.
Awesome as always, Jim! Can't wait for the next one.
Glad you approve! There's a whole lot more to come.
I thought Ferial had offered Portent a corporeal body…Am I wrong in that thought?
You're not wrong.
I don't even know what corporeal means!
Is it just me or was the background recently changed to have a lighter shade of purple.
It's just you. I haven't touched a thing since this design went live.
You are right, i forgot that…the next comic explains some of what i was thinking…maybe the energy covers he projects from his face are due to the mini shield worlds inside his head…
In the time it takes a rocket to reach Reclaimer, I don't think that the calvacada could speak that much, unless they speak in intention rather than in words.
It's difficult to portray actual time in a comic, since are the images are, by necessity, static. A lot of things happen in rapid succession in these panels, and you have to assume that a lot of the dialogue is, for instance, taking place between where the Reclaimer is standing in the third panel with the projectile whizzing past him to where he's standing as he's walking down the corridor in the fourth. This isn't machinima I'm doing here.
Why not? He has neural implants, after all.
The question then becomes what the nature of those implants is.
I like the colors and clarity of the comic today and lately. There is something about the purity of the picture without filters I love!
Um, I still used the standard Photoshop filter (Poster Edges). But I quite like the way this one looks, as well.
Greetings, been reading RC for a while and i enjoy it. My hypothesis is that Intuitive Portent Is deliberately trying to keep from being joined because he knows it is somehow part of Ferial's plot, whatever that plot might be. And he might be trying to buy some time to figure out just how being joined helps that plot. Or i could be wrong. Either way, i am really looking forward to having a few questions answered. Great Job!
I was thinking along the same lines, actually. And, yes Jim, great update.
Glad you guys enjoyed it! And thanks for dropping out of Lurkspace, Gribb! I always enjoying 'meeting' my readers.
hmm lurkspace, interesting term… i like it
Occasionally I come up with something clever…
well, that's a new angle a didin't thot ov…
Dude, I think your keyboard broke there near the end of your comment. :p
yeah, im new too… when i first saw the comic i spent like 4 hours reading every single one… great job mate
Just curious – have you ever tried not being confrontational in your tone?
Just curious – have you ever tried not being confrontational in your tone?
I try not to have a tone, and simply state facts as they are unobscured by false facts.
That's a fancy way of saying 'no, I have not'.
Note the Irony in this post.
Hehe, even not having a tone is having a tone – which, of course, I find eminently amusing.
