Looks like at one time Solas and Agrippa where the same rank.

Relieve him of command in th Klingon Way, Pulse Laser to the Head.

I am starting to like Solus. He’s got style! You can’t win a war with disobeying soilders.

His lust-for-blood is completely understandable, from a certain point of view. I mean, they are the superior race, physically, and as I understood technically too. And if the Azatoth had a similar term as “manslaughter” then he wouldn’t be considered as one guilty of this crime, just as in our society a hunter is not considered a murderer.

I know this is not the way where You want to take this comic, I hope it is not a problem that I wrote this philosophical sideway:-).

“humans socialize with animals” – humans socialize with other animals.

Good, the logics of villains or side characters is what can make or break stories. (I note that both Matthew’s and mine interpretation works as intended, Solus is likely not doing anything incriminating considered as a common war situation.)

I have just read the entire archives between yesterday and today. I love the art, the story thus far, and am looking forward to seeing/reading more! You are officially +1 reader! Now off to see the extras =)

@ Jamming:

A thoroughly confusing comment directed to me and your perception of my person, that doesn’t bear on what I commented on.

[However, in the Yule spirit, I provide a response below the cut.]

—–

So you are describing torture, and are aware of it.

“However, it does not kill or demean the purpose of other interrogation techniques such as rape, beatings, and electrical applications.”

I don’t construe how you get from torture, which it is considered as, to interrogation techniques which is neither here nor there. (Another problem is that it is well known that torture doesn’t elicit reliable information, but what is invented by the torturers imagination. But again, OT.)

Then you list individual crimes inside and outside of wars. Yes, some of those would statistically follow from the systematic portraying of the enemy I discussed. And certainly we agree that it is a common characteristic of war not of nations, I said so much.

The reason to mention US was because it is current, well known, breaking the earlier efforts to abstain from torture (and so hazarding all war parties), and made by a “civilized” former superpower. There is nothing more to read into that, it was just an excellent, maybe the best, example of the point.

[Now China seems positioned to take over being the superpower large stick, _something that we may look forward to_ considering how badly US have started to behave. Egad, considering how bad China is on human rights!]

Out of respect for you…done.

I got FAQ’d… :p

Well, and I was about to bring up religion:-). I will ask it anyway:-P.

What can we know about the beliefs of Terra’s universe? Are the human’s religion is some form of a religion that we may know of? What do the Azatoth think about existence and about the ‘beginning of time’ (:-P)?
Or the comic is intentionally leaves those questions open to avoid certain arguements?

I was joking, in as Ironic and Pun-ny Way (saying like “I been Facked”).

Separately-
(to borrow from Spaceballs) Its funny because Agrippa doesn’t look Druidish.

What I ahve seen so far in this comic and particularly these last few pages, is a race bent on wholesale slaughter of all that come in their way.

Regardless of how you view “Lower Beings” versus “The Chosen”, killing the unarmed, wounded and those surrendering is still wrong on all levels.
A Warcrime is still a Warcrime.

In 300 years will morality be the same? 300 years ago spelling depended on the who was the teacher and grammer a thory, it was perfectly moral to own people, hang criminals for stealing bread, and no moral person would ever consider abortion. In fact the British fought a war over the killing of baby girls. Are morals and warcrimes absolute? Funny how things we consider absolute change in less than 20 years.
