HEY ITS THE PAGE EVERYONE KNEW WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!



Comments

  • GIVE HER THE PUPPYDOG EYES, ZAP!! She can’t stay angry at you then!

  • This is true, puppy dog eyes are one thing but add the nose wrinkles and it’s Game Over, man. Game Over.

  • Superhuman

    Naveed, your facing a guy who just disarmed you and put you on your knees. If he wanted he could kinetically crush any number of vital organs with just a wave of his hand. Believe me, you ain’t slowin NO ONE DOWN! LOL.

  • Crestlinger

    Well Efrem the best shot you have for that is get inside his head and either get him monologueing (monologing?), recite Pi, or have him tell his life story.

  • Astralfury

    I only have to slow you down while Reona here shoots you with her plasma cannon!….any time now Reona….Reona…?

  • trashbandit

    Or that
    nifty little gun that Gunner just dropped. Wonder if it can be used by non-psychics!?!

  • Canin Christell

    …Isn’t Zap’s power on an order of magnitude to make cat girl no contest? Or do I misunderstand?

  • Canin Christell

    But she’s a catgirl. Isn’t there a law of the universe that states that they can no longer be called “Puppydog eyes” when the subject is a catgirl?

  • Lady Courage

    All I hear in the last two panels are “BZZZZZZZAAPTZZZZZZZ!!!”

    Slow him down it is, then. Wonder how she plans on accomplishing that.

  • by crying and making him feel bad.

  • Lady Courage

    seems legit

  • Koh

    Zap still doesn’t know Gunner is on the ship. As it is he might try to get past her to look for Gunner. To that degree she can mislead him or way-lay him. Additionally, Gunner might have thought ahead and prepared something to help Naveed in her task.

    Also, Naveed, Gunner, Zap and Reona backwards are Deevan, Rennug, Paz and Anoer.

  • safyrejet

    Actually, she kinda is. He’s lingering to stare at her with sad, guilty eyes. The whole power-to-kinetically-crush-any-number-of-vital-organs thing only works if he’s actually willing to do so.

  • safyrejet

    I love the progression of bold colors in this page. Green-red-green-yellow-blue-yellow. Everything is so intense. Great work Pascalle.

    Zap, snap out of! Staring at her plaintively is helping no one. You’re only gonna end up more sad and guilty when you get back to save Reona and the rest of the universe and discover Efrem sacrificed himself slowing down Gunner long enough for you to have time to stare sadly at Naveed.

  • laughing so hard at your second paragraph. haha!

    And thanks! I work really hard to make my comics visually interesting. Sometimes,I’ll post a page I’m proud of and get no comments about the way it looks. wah wah. ANYWAY, THANKS I APPRECIATE YOU.

  • Superhuman

    I’m officially changing Zap’s name to Mr. Screw Up.

  • Meanwhile on the Excelsior, a Portal game goes horribly wrong.

  • JasonAW3

    Eeeewww!!! What smells like burnt cat hair…? Ooooohhhh, sorry Naveed!

  • Sandman366

    Not much to say that the post didn’t.

    ‘Cept for Zap’s eyes. They look so damn sad. He really doesn’t want to deal with her. (Which begs the obvious question: it looked like he sent Reona back to the ship with teleport. Can’t he do the same exact thing to get himself back? Or is there going to be some later thing of “Wow Gunnar has some serious timing breaking the teleport right then.”)

  • safyrejet

    I’ll make an effort to comment on the artwork more. I notice like a million things that I just love on each page, I’m very detailed oriented and artistic myself, plus I’m a very visual person. I think most pages I just don’t know what to comment on so I don’t say anything about the visual art.

    I think what I’ve enjoyed the most about reading Zap for so many years is seeing your progress as an artist as you’ve improved and evolved. Especially since I have no time to practice my own art or write my own story. I’m really looking forward to what you’ve got in store with Wilde Life.

  • go Efrem!

  • king2cody22

    a valid point.

  • safyrejet

    My theory right now is that Excelsior might be stuck between which psychic is her Captain. I mean knowing Gunner came to take Excelsior (while Efrem did not so he remains passive), perhaps his closer proximity means he can commandeer her out from under Zap’s control which could mean Zap can’t use her to teleport? It’s just a theory. I’m gonna excited to see what Chris and Pascalle wrote.

    But still it does beg the question of what would Excelsior be like with the personality of Gunner.

  • Astralfury

    Damn cats, they always pull that shit. He should toss a ball of yawn laced with catnip at her and run for it.

  • haha, thank you! It’s not you or anyone’s fault. I’ve just done SO MANY PAGES that I haven’t shared with readers that I’m in this weird feedback void and it’s making me doubt myself and overthink everything.

    Soon to be fixed!

  • safyrejet

    I know I’m so excited to see all those pages!

  • Speedy Marsh

    Nah, she’ll just jump on his keyboard, or curl up and take a nap on his lap. Every cat knows how effective those delay tactics are.

  • l33tninja

    RIP Efrem…
