Update: 17 April 2013

Hi everyone,

So, I’m injured… again, however this one a long time coming. I threw out my back a good 8 years ago during basic training, over the last couple months I’ve been getting into an intense exercise routine and as a result of taking on too much too fast I aggravated that injury. Now I have a pinched sciatic nerve (my entire left leg is numb because of this) and a slightly twisted spine. I have to go for 6 weeks of treatments to fix this issue, because I learned if I left it alone, I may not be walking by the fall.

Anyway, this has had a slight impact on my progress on this week’s page, but I don’t foresee having to take a break or anything, it just might be difficult to get as much done when I’m running around to appointments several times a week. I’m hoping to have page 248 up by Friday, but I really can’t make any promises right now. (**Edit 19th April 2013: Didn’t have enough time this week, the update will be up Wednesday**)

Thanks for your patience,

Holly

Meeee

Well, this brings new meaning to “in one ear and out the other.”

Good for her! Good for him for distracting our bad guy and giving her the shot!

Grey, Grey… don’t let yourself getting grabbed by the neck that easily. Sure, you were playing bait while Alex got the gun, but Agrippa would probably kick your ass for playing with fire like that.

Awesome page!

My thoughts exactly…

Alexis Hawke; opening minds one bullet at a time.

I love it, real honest-to-God teamwork. Grey comes to the rescue and Alexis one tapped the bad guy’s cranium. Now I want to know if that is a bracer or a forearm replacement?

Woot! That’s gotta smart! Nice head shot, Alexis and with a rectangular bullet no less (or is that a flash hider on the barrel?).

Well… that settled that argument.

In the future, all bullets are square! Because aerodynamics mean nothing to flying cars.

I can assure you that the bullets are not square. lol

I think I was originally going for an energy weapon but decided to make the weapon shoot a bullet during the coloring process. I could maybe see how the barrel would be on the inside of the gun, so I suppose I could make that more apparent with the design.

Take a look at the G-11 Experimental Ammunition from H&K it has the powder forming a square shape around the bullet. It used the square up completely for it is a round of case-less rifle ammunition. Everything burns or propelled out of the rifle. Has some ammo cook off problems that might be easier addressed in using a semi auto pistol.

I just looked back at one of the first pages where we meet Alexis. It’s just a bracer. That would be a bitchin’ replacement though.

That sounds pretty interesting, there are so many different kinds of weapons out there.

Either way, I fixed the barrel so hopefully it doesn’t look as off as it did before.

Yup, just a bracer, but it was also pumping chemicals into his bloodstream and he had enhanced strength / reflexes as a result.

However, such a thing is seriously taxing on your body and could kill you.

Good riddance.

In other news, I just wrote a work page for Terra on TV Tropes. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/Terra

Wow, thank you for doing that! I read the entire thing and was blown away with all that information. I have to post that on some other places. Thanks for the work with this.

Agreed, thank you so much for taking the time to write this up. I’d love to put it up on the press section of the site and the facebook page if that’s okay.
