Good call.
It would appear there has been some PWNage here, to use the scientific term. Nice fight sequence, all in all. ;D
People have been begging for one for a while now. I thought it was time to oblige.
I started to think maybe you went off and died somewhere.
I know, me too…
Nawp. Just been busy. Some of us actually have real lives, you know.
Nawp. Just been busy. Some of us actually have real lives, you know.
And mortgages.
Hey don't judge me! Just cause I have no life off of the internet
I know, my life is sad 
Just if you do plan on letting this comic die without ending it properly, please let us know!
Hy don't judge me! Just cause I'm a teenager and the phrase real life means facebook to me, and mortgage holds no meaning either.
Just if you do plan on letting this comic die without ending it properly, please let SOB a DooBy know so he can carry out his evil plans.
nice! finally bold is taken down! but is he dead or just knocked out?
Wait and see.
He got owned.
Oh damn…. I don't like Jim's answer
It's the same answer he always gives us.
Watch,
Jim, Is Ferial really a robot?
[i]Is[/i] Ferial really a robot, that has managed to survive the millenia???
Is Ferial really a robot, that has managed to survive the millenia???
Edit: Damn, the comments don't accept bb code. Image the Is is italicized.
If he was dead then there would be no future conversation, Jim wouldn't let that happen.
Thus the reason for the fire-nade
Beat-Down!
Like, totally.
o_O You didn't just say that did you Jim???
Jim I think DooBy's head exploded.
SPLAT!
Very nice, Jim. Enjoyed this little stretch. However – I have a hunch the roadblocks in this section are far from cleared.. Never did find out (or did and I just am blanking at the moment) just what made Bold that way, or what happened to Tag and Score, and where they wandered off to.
Answers to these queries are yet to come.
I get the feeling we're going to have a flashback sequence soon…
Um, not really. No.
I got a feelin'
That tonights gonna be good night!
Just a matter of how many more months until we find out :p
And what's with the Grav Lifts that Tag found?
Soon to be revealed.
Yes, "soon".... :p
Soon is a subjective word.
I was right but
very nice, Excellent work Jim!!
Thanks!
You're welcome. Well, I thought it was a good comic as well
LOVE IT!
Glad you liked it!
Glad you made it. We were getting a bit worried
Bah Dah Bah Bah Bah
Hmm, random spam much??
Sweetness.
Now do we get to find out what those gravlifts are for? And what happened when Reclaimer got Portent?
The answer to the gravlifts is coming.
There isn't much to tell about Reclaimer and Portent. The interaction was much the same as when the Reclaimer collected each of the other Cavalcada.
I guess I had just been expecting more explanation after 206. After rereading it now, it makes more sense. I guess that before I thought we would find out exactly why Ferial wants the Cavalcada. I mean, sure they're powerful, but I'm not sure they'd be willing to help him in his evil plots, and if they could resist him alone, I'm sure they'd be able to resist him united.
To sum that up, I thought Portent wasn't quite done telling Reclaimer how he was making a mistake by collecting him.
I don't think Portent really knew, keep in mind he's been virtually out of the loop for several millennium.
several milennium? How long is a melennium any way?
You mean 'millenia', as that's the plural form.
You mean 'millennia', as that's the plural form.
He wasn't, but circumstances have dictated that full explanations be held off until the entirety of the Cavalcade is together again.
Triple post FTW
And yeah, I thought you were going to tell us what Portent knew…. Or did I just forget that bit??
YAY!!!!!!!!! NEW COMIC!!!! I thought you had given up Jim! Nice work, and looks like RC kicked – well punched – the crap out of Bold, so I suppose less is more
So much for superior shields when they can't stop a punch…. WAIT!!!!! You did include a Stargate crossover, sort of 
Well it makes sense 
But what about the lethal radiation??? :s
Stargate crossover?
In Stargate, An alien race's shields deflected bullets, energy blasts, etcetera. But, to sop anyone from dying of hunger inside them, objects moving of a slower speed were able to pass through, such as a charged weapon, a snack, or a knife into the dude's chest, as one episode went, or a punch, as this AWESOME one did. Good work Jim. We're all damn' proud.
I'm surrounded by nerds…
Oh wait, I AM a nerd!
Nothing wrong with being a geek, dude.
cool announcer voice INFECTED
I'm surrounded by nerds…
Oh wait, I AM a nerd!
OMG it's spreading.
Ah, ok. And no, that's not actually what happened. The crux is the near-burnout energy shield flare that the Cavalcade instigated, not the punch itself.
Yeah I know, but I still thought it was and interesting observation

waits patiently for the next comic to explain what exactly happened here
Yup, that'll be Monday's comic.
You mean it will actually be on Monday, not like, five Mondays.
'Monday's', possessive. Not 'Mondays', plural. The apostrophe is key. Know your grammar.
No I think he was looking for affirmation that it would be on the normal release time, rather than get delayed again and again and again like some recent comics. I don't think he was picking apart your sentence
Good job Reclaimer! But now its time to bug out because he has no shields and its radioactive! Yay!
Yeah, that is a bit of a challenge.
Haha, so RC beats that bad guy and gets killed by radiation. Wow, it's hard being a hero these days…
Maybe he'll turn into spiderman and not die from radiation poisoning. Comic book writers know nothing.
Not Jim I mean the creator of Spiderman.
Yeah, but leaving RC to die from radiation seems pretty harsh even for Jim
Up close and personal, just the way we like it.
Boot to the head…
Do mankind a favor and don't go into a bar with a baseball bat okay.
And that's the way aha aha we like it aha.
woohoo a new reclaimer on my birthday, well after i went to bed a bit under the influence. is it just me or is that a body that looks similar to bolds behind him in the third frame?
Haha i saw that. Forgot to check the picture was clear of mistakes before you took it did we Jim?
Oh well, nothing we can do about it now. Besides, it's hard to see so you really have to know it's there.
Just a pile of debris. Yeah. That sounds about right.
JIM KILLED TAG!
...
That's not Tag…
That's Bold. I'm assuming that Jim made several attempts to kill Bold in [i]just[/i] the right way. He just took the wrong angle. It's in the second panel as well, and I'm pretty damn sure it's not a pile of debris
. Wow, that is a pretty big fail Jim 
How did you miss that?? 
< and > dude. Not [ ]
I like the retro Batman THWACK! lol
Hehe, I rather liked the style of that panel, too.
bam dead…. or is he?
Bam said the lady.
keep it clean…
nice and tidy
yup, bold's body is laying behind them in the second and third frame,
i love the serie
Unless that's tag or score back there…
Pile of debris, right?
Uh huh. Right Jim. Are you trying to rush these comics?? You're making a lot of mistakes recently….
Writings been okay though.
shit, hes gonna respawn in 5 seconds!
NOOOOO!!!!!!
I don't think it works like that…
Then again, nothing works like it's supposed to in this comic. Since when did punches beat bullets? Next thing you know, RCs gonna start shooting himself to get more health…
And again, it's not the punch that's critical here. It's the shield flare that's the game-changer.
//> WARNING: All regeneration stations in this sector have been offlined due to prolonged viral attack. Death is permanent. Proceed with caution.
Hahaha, nice work, but that is still pending on whether or not Bold is dead.
I like! WHACK! And whats that orange spat in the 3rd frame? And why take so long to come out? And when will we see Tag? Will he ally with Relaimer? I know that your answer to most of these will be "Wait and see" as per usual, but I hope you will answer at least one of them. And I hope you don't put witty remarks in like "No."
Apparently it's just "debris". Ignore it and move along. Nothing to see here.
Says the man with the black suit, sun glasses and sticks which flash that make you dizzy.
Wait, what was I saying?
HOLY CANNOLI! I JUST NOTICED!
just ignore the cannoli part….don't even like it
wut?
Facepalm
I knew this was bound to come up sooner or later :S
Sorry Snow. I am used to BB code from the Bungie forums, I didn't know how to use HTML. So are you still unhappy with my fail code skills? :p I hope not
WAIT?!?!?
I SEE A SPECK OF DUST!!!! sigh this is what happens without my Reclaimer fix.
Know about this amazing thing called post EDIT? And yeah I suppose the writing is okay, but still. I wish there was more of it :S
Double post Fail. Flash Wait, what? What just happened? What am I doing here???
It wasn't a double post! I just forgot that I had already written it! The government is after us man…..
FLASH
Wait, what was I saying?
It wasn't a double post! I just forgot that I had already wriiten it! The government is after us man…..
FLASH
Wait, what was I saying?
Hmm I wonder what the EMP was supposed to do…
WOW! I come back to reading them and every comic I see (except one?) has been with my map!!
Thank you Jim! My map has been stretched across two months! I feel famous! O.o
And great work. Kinda confusing, but still awesome to read. I like the creative explanation of the Hornet in my map especially
giggles with excitement
ahem…
Great Work!
Really? A millennium is 1000 years.
Were you alive in the year 2000?
Shush, I'm trying to look smart.
What's a sentence?
Haha, my evil plans of…... um, I'll get back to you on that :p
And failing horribly :p Nice try though :p
Haha, but see, it wasn't Monday's comic, like he promised. Probably next Monday, or maybe Friday, if we're lucky :p
What?? Are YOU under the influence Snow?? o_O
No, you've got to use regular HTML markup.
Which Friday? Friday, October, 23rd, 2009 or Friday, October, 21st, 2012?
Like I said, not [ and ] but < and >.
Yeah, but what would portient know that the others don't. He's been a little out of the loop for a while.
I'm thinkin maybe around the time the sun explodes.
Brackets suck, use greater than and less than symbols for HTML. And Itallics usually and em tag in most web browsers.
So Ferial a robot? :p
But so have the others… They've all been imprisoned in one way or another.
Nothing whatsoever. So come and join us for World Domination! Mwhahahaha! :p
Wow you have high expectations don't you Snow? We probably won't get another one by the time the galaxy dies :S
