{UPDATE, 09.27.2013}: Hi, everyone. You probably noticed an abrupt halt in my activity on the site here. Well, to cap all my other problems lately, on Wednesday night, up to the present moment, I’ve been in emergency mode caring for my pet cat Pupshaw, who suddenly became very ill and needed to go the the veterinarian. Fortunately, with quick treatment and some medicine and TLC, she seems to be starting to recover, but she needs to see another vet to have her teeth checked out right away – her fang has always been overdeveloped, and seems finally to have gone out of alignment, contributing to the whole mess. I know, all things in their proper order, but Pupshaw is a loyal little pet and has been with me for fourteen years, and so I have to make her treatment my immediate priority. In all honesty, I’m sort of silently distraught about it, and I really just want to get her fluffed back up again. So, that doesn’t exactly mean “No Comic Next Week,” but I’m not hopeful. at this point.
I think God is punishing me for my hubris at the moment, but I have to keep my priorities in line, and I will continue to check in as soon as I can. Thanks, seriously, everyone, for all the patience and understanding.
Aaaaaaaaand now we’re back. Thanks, everyone, for waiting on this one. It’s been a really rough couple of weeks for me – a ton of traveling and a ton of work. But I have to keep the rent paid. As for this week’s page, Colonel Haulley is giving a line I’ve wanted to have him say for over a hundred pages, and Canadian readers might get the reference. Little Easter egg there for readers at the 49th Parallel. and Points North. And let me tell you, that in spite of the violence of the scene, drawing an isometric interior was actually a lot of fun. And let me ALSO tell you, that those who were commenting that the armor wasn’t doing much against enemy firearms – well, that’s why they have the heavy suits. Ping!
Anyway, I doubt I’m making a whole ton of sense at this point, so I’ll probably just call it, right there. Again, thanks everyone for your patience. You guys are the best!
Wow, the heavy suits are a lot bigger than I expected. They look at least ten feet tall, if the regular suits are a little over 7. I think you mentioned earlier, but I’m not sure, do the CONASURs have their own heavy armor suits? If so this could turn into quite the slugging match in the halls.
Yeah they are like small mechs, almost. I should do a cutaway of one of hyphen to show how they work. They’re based in large measure on Kow Yokoyama designs in that area.

hey did you read space trawler before ? IT have very good art , read it it also a web comic
hey can you tell me something weir currently happen to our game of this generation?
THey seem to only boom up the graphic while the coding and the game logic—- pretty much everything was copy from old game , like we have battlefiled 1,2,3,4,….. or call of duty 1,2,3,3,4,5,6,7,8…. weir it all the same dang game howteheck did they invented those slogan to sell them ?
They have basicly nothing new no storyline or whatever or anything , even sim city 2013 is really a heck of a mask job , impostor someone should send dead threat to that game developer , they make the game entirely look like the same , but more gruesome , everything shrink , no more big room for anything to build , the city all base on economic , robot world maybe , and extortion it demanded you to stay online , wasting your energy and your time .
IT just as if new game only exist between 1997 and 2005 and that it all other game after that basicly shit nothing new .
hey nice smoke effect , first time i see it look so real , also blood splatting , bullet hole , and cracking wall aswell . You didn’t notice that the medic guy was standing right at near the gunline if the assualt medium suit actually either being kill or withdraw from combat would you? That is a risky position .
and agian the medium suit have rocket and what was that on the big soldier right shoulder is that a laser gun?
Oh boy, Haulley has lost it completely. Also, I didn’t realise that this firefight was going on at this kind of point-blank range.
Close quarters, man. It’s the worst.
–M
Unless someone decides to break out the flame-thrower… or a plasma torch.
This is worse than the Bridge from 2fort, with no Spy to sap the sentries blocking the chokepoint
Is that a rocketlauncher in the doorway…?
Recoilless rifle.
–M
recoiless rifle that big?? seriously , and i still think this is a medium suit , because we see how it compared between this and the russian giant walking plaform worker class armor suit .
althought major like because up close this medium armor really look alot more akin to the eye than when compared it to those giant russian walking plaform .( they look to small with a little minigun on there hand)
ye i also know about syndicate war 00 again no one replicate those game or even make it to day , i think those game required monster time of coding ha .
by the way to mention you say it was a recoiless rifle so , it piercing right and if that fired we gonna see 3 soldier on it path become mud immediatly .
Hey for this occasion can you also tell me about america and british anti tank gun? What are those thing and they seem to be more effective than using those panzershred rocket anti vehicle or recoiless rifle — oh hey company of heroes the first game on mission air borne have those recoiless rifle aswell , have you play that game ? It blow everything up insanely .
The cutaway is cool, but I can’t help but think of the original XCOM.
Yeah, same here with me. Damn, that was a fine game…
actually original xcom and the apocalypse version you know , no game ever beat them even the new version of enemy unknown —- look like cheap crap that borrow original game . And the bureau is downgrade completedly.
the apocalypse if give more money they can even let us play all out war , but ye it end in 1997 since not enought money and inside trouble game maker , no fair some one make exactly version of XCOM APOCALYPSE and make it bigger would ya
I actually take that as a major compliment! XCOM was a great game. Actually I was thinking of Syndicate Wars when I drew it. Weird, huh?
–M
Or Chaos Gate…
oh yeah , ahwhat game was that ,?? chaos gate , is it warhammer 40 k? there is also warhammer 40 k epic , you know shooting and controlling those mamoth titan on the battle field
Heh. One side breaks out the heavy suits, the other side then breaks out the heavy-suit-killer weaponry (the rocket/missile launcher in the doorway, no doubt).
Escalation, man. It’s a wild scene.
–M
Now this was well worth waiting for!

Mr.Average what was that medic usedfor anyway? i mean he or her can’t entered a gun fight , actually more easy to die because of fabulously red and white colour in the battlefield , and can only administered small dosed of pain killer , since most sodier with those armor usually getting shreeded to pieces from the inside and lost some limb up to 2/3 of the body maybe already death .
So what was there role actually was? They are not the apothecary in warhammer who collected gene seed so <– there appearence on the battlefield seem to only cause morale rise up , but not actually help full at all .
The whole point of armor is to protect the soldier. The reason why larger armed suits haven’t been fielded is partly due to the soldier who doesn’t’ want to be a walking death trap. The armor would have to be tougher yet lighter and much harder to penetrate. So that means that the guns they carry is of a higher caliber with greater stopping power and probably armor piercing. I suppose they are radiation proof and Chemical and biological hazard as long as they maintain suit seal integrity.
ye those recoiless rifle gonna give us a splattering scene , garhhh creepy
Art: From now on I’ll only post comments about the art if there is something I don’t like or understand. Consider praise and approval the default.
Story: I really like how things start to go fast now. Hectic and aggressivley fast-paced. Nice arc of suspense resulting in escalation and mayhem.
I *really* like it.
Zaballa seems to sport the “power-donut”-bald look?
wow wowo wowow i just gone for 2 week and it turn into a blood bath already wow , slow down mister average , …… hmn those cornasur is being cornered .
wo one of them in front of the hanga is ready to fire the rocket people runnnnnnnnnnnnn …… Nice job but why do you cut the action so fast and move here to the hanga already mister average.
Before you draw this i images about atleast 2 panel before seeing this
oh and howteheck did you medium armor guy get here so quick ? wow did they even fit in that small room?
and ye those medium armor seem to be superior completedly from the light ah(expensive but cheap UNA armor ) the shotgun gun don’t seem to do much damages to that big guy , and it seem he just slaughtered them , althougth standing right in the middle of the third line friendly line of firer is not seem to be too wise .
And ye the cornasur guy that about to used the rocket , SO > is it safe that close , you say it even in 20 foot is dangerous for those sodier to used rocket but by what i see it just seem only 5 foot close , wow how much blast zone does a single shotgun rocket do?
Yes, keep threatening the guy building nukes in your basement.
carefull a cornered mouse ….. ahh man with a weapon that size in a middle of a gun point is not good how a negotiation should take places hehee .
Nice touch with the medic in the bottom corner comforting someone, or administering pain meds or whatever. Doesn’t seem to be much a medic could do in a firefight of this caliber other then do that to make it more comfortable.
Good luck with Pupshaw. I’ve had sick cats and the problem is that they can never tell you what’s wrong with them.
“[…]but Pupshaw is a loyal little pet and has been with me for fourteen years, and so I have to make her treatment my immediate priority.”.
Now that restored a little faith in humanity.
Commendable! And as a fellow cat-person I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a quick and full recovery.
