Gunwild: I'm gonna be honest, Psu, that sandwich looks like it's gonna be gross.
Psu: Who knows! It might actually work out. I mean... what is that, anchovies. Some pickles... some kind of paste.
Psu: Anyway, I think this is another case where I delayed the main story because I was physically breaking down on making the page. The action scenes are going to take a while with a number of these interruptions. However, at the very lea...

There! You asked for Zeke's backstory, and you'll have finally gotten it!
Well, part of it.
Uh, a glimpse of it.
The point is, you'll have read it! And then you can't un-read it!

Gunwild: That weird "Jaayce" sound effect in panel 4 is a reference to 1980s cartoon "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors," which I never actually watched as a child or anything. But I did see the intro, and it's awesome, and that's good enough for me!
Psu: I don't often do hand drawn sound effects, especially nowadays but I do like how these look. The hand drawn motion...

You wouldn't know it by looking, but we went back and forth a lot about how to make it look like they're frontier people. One of the best ideas, but one we weren't sure how to accomplish, was making the stolen train car things look like they're arrayed in a similar way to those covered wagons people used on the Oregon trail.

Psu: I can start cause I just wanna say two things. One, this is probably the sexiest outfit Cassiopeia's worn yet. And that includes "nothing." And two... how is it that I've only JUST NOW noticed Maddy in the corner after all these years.
Gunwild: She's very sinister and sneaky!
ICS: shows that Maddy should try being a thief too
Psu: Speaking of sneaky, we should point out that IanCSamson over here was res...

We've been trying to get back to a philosophy of page construction where there's at least one "big panel" that leaves a lasting impression and really impresses. Last page was the Damselfly picking up the train car, of course.

This CASSIOPEIA QUINN UPDATE says that just because you're tying up and robbing someone doesn't mean you can't give them a little style - with a floral bandana gag! If it's seasonally appropriate, of course.
CHECK IT OUT!

Psu: GUEST STARRING
Gunwild: Since this page was drawn, on two separate occasions, I have taken pictures of old Ural motorcycles I saw out in the world and sent them to Psu immediately.
Psu: And I think I still look at the ones that Akira Toriyama drew. They're certainly a look. This page is a lot of fun visually, and I think really sells that the action is getting "crazy-go-nuts." I like to think of bad guys in a movie action sce...

Nyooom!
How come micro-shorts with a big belt somehow seem like they expose more than hologram underpants? Explain that, science!

Gunwild: I write almost all the guest comics we run, but this script is actually Sat's. I just approved it really.
Psu: Satellite9 has left quite a mark on our world. And I’m grateful to her for it. I feel like... getting outside of your main cast sometimes, and even getting another writer, is a really good way to make a universe feel more varied and alive. The radio host “sate...

Gunwild: This guest page ad thing was drawn by Freeglass, who's really become a pro in the past couple years. You can check out his Twitter HERE. It has some nakie art on it, just in case you're at work or something. Any thoughts, Psu?
Psu: It's pretty nice, Freeglass's inking has definitely improved in the last few years too. This might actually be more sexual than our comic usually ...

(Note: This WiP will be free to all Patreon subscribers by way of a PSA regarding a lack of updates.)
Though I'm still planning on getting this out there soon, Gunwild's right and has asked me to update you guys - all you guys - about my health. I'll tell you what I told the doctor, I'm a bit of a dumbass and thought I could ride out this persistent cough with a bottle of Dayquil and just some rest. But that's not how bacterial infections work.
This could be on top of wha...

Gunwild: I can't believe nobody thought of the name "Clawlossus" before me.
Psu: I swear, when I read the page, I thought Gunwild meant a giant crab. Though looking back at it now, he clearly wrote it was a guy with a giant crab claw. I think I just wanted to draw a giant crab on a rocket tank very badly.
Gunwild: It was a better idea this way! Hey I like that in panel 4 you can read backwards that they've looked up that the racer...

This Valentine-y pinup has rolled out for all our nice $5+ backers! Plus, those same people get the whole backlog of dozens more pinups (and some extras, and the weekly WiPs too).
Think about it, won'tcha?

Thanks for Patreon-ing, you sweeties. We love that you let us do this crazy comic... and we're so glad we didn't miss out on telling you this month in the way we promised to. Please bite into this tasty pinup as thanks!

Psu: Comic book hero rules ya know... you gotta see their faces. Anyway, what a nice little page. I think we could spend some time talking about the materials here. If something was heavy enough to break her helmet, what would that amount of force do to her neck? But it's nice to see us using the mechanics creatively. This is the kind of ...

Gunwild: You know, there are times, like this week, when almost all the good stuff in a page comes from Psu, and I feel kind of bad. Like I'm not contributing enough, and maybe I'm not a very good comic writer. On the other hand, I wrote this one and I am not ashamed to say I freaking love it.
Psu: It's an absolutely perfect script.

I ever tell you I've been trying to get Psu to go camping with me for years? It's the cheapest thing next to a staycation, after all! But the more I think about it, the more Psu is right, and not being able to get online or cook nice meals can be a headache to some folks.
Still, everybody should be able to get a look at the real stars.

Gunwild: So, I feel the need to admit that the line "If you're not cheating, you're not trying!" is 100% stolen from Adam Warren's Gen13 run in the early 2000s. It was the reason I got into buying monthly comics at the time I did. Adam Warren is the writer/artist behind our fellow Hiveworks comic Empowered, which you can read for free.
Psu: And ...

Looks like Zeke's penchant for silly t-shirts goes back a while. I like to think he enjoys putting a smile on people's faces, but feels weird about actually cracking wise...
