The homeless dude sides with the animals.

FFS, that comic is more smug than my average forum post.

If you feel nothing, you are a heartless monster/kool kodexer.

Really? You fall for cheap drama like that? That's on exactly the same level as Aeris' death in FF7.

Pushing buttons is fine, the moment you're actually pointing at the buttons you're pushing, then you just went beyond the cheap shot.

Yeah, I'll have to say that the drama near the end was rather cheap. Grant Morrison is like that, he has some pretty cool ideas but he tends to be pretentious and over-dramatize things.

Cool comic. And yes, I "emoted".

:cry:

The one thing I didn't get, though, is what is the matter with that rabbit. Did he had adamantium bones or something? Jeez, he should have died 3 times at least. I almost felt as the writers were making shit up as they went along with the whole thing.

"Hey, we need more drama, let's kill the rabbit again!"

Also, homeless guy was a diopshit for removing the equipment from the animals.

I would personally kill to have a talking dog and a talking cat.

Now update horsie. We all need our LIONHEART fix.

I really liked the fight with 4, it felt quite realistic. I was afraid there'd be a lame moment where the cat had been wounded and the dog would say something like "MUST PROTECT 2, DOG GUD" and went into super badass mode.

talking animals rock!
Not if they talk like DOG GUD. I'm sure I'd get sick of that eventually. Not to mention that the experiments were really fucking cruel and the animals were taken from their families and so on. The covers are the pages I find the most heartbreaking. I mean, "have you seen my dog?" I can see that kid absolutely in tears over the loss of his friend. Shit, I'm soppy, I know.

Now update horsie. We all need our LIONHEART fix.
Alright, let's do it!

Update 05: Another dog

Once upon a time there was some kind of stone wall.

update5-01.jpg


Then we crashed right through it.

update5-02.jpg


Change my bedsheets but wasn't that very unnecessary? I mean, couldn't we have gone around it like the other boats vessels? Not to mention that it's a complete waste of time?

vessel.jpg
Hey, ain't you the fella spent two years playing through Final Fantasy Seven?

...

twoche.jpg


So our heroes run out to the... very calm beach. What the hell? Wasn't there a bunch of explosions and people dying all around here like just a second ago? Did we get off on the wrong beach or something?

update5-03.jpg


Well, let's give this shit a try then. And here's some direct3d for all you raffsets at home. Notice how we can see that everything looks like shit? Yeah, it does. I'm not going to do anything about that. Fuck smoothing.

I had to buy like three new computers and hook them all together to some sort of extraterrestrial robot lifeform to be able to run graphics this high-end. I have to lp this shit in my freezer. Have you ever seen a horse playing a playstation game on three computers with an alien, all stuffed in a freezer? It's actually more common than you might think.

update5-04.jpg


There's Selphie. Ignore her and dash like a fart up the stairs with Seifer. Here comes our first victims: two regular galbadian joes. G-joes, if you will.

update5-05.jpg


The first thing you'll probably notice is that Squall has a frozen icethunderboltfire or some shit attached to his bladegunswordrevolver. That is the result of me playing a whole bunch of fucking cards.

In this game you don't buy weapons, you upgrade them. What's fabulous about this is as long as you have the necessary components you don't actually need to know about the existence of the upgrade in order to make it. Hence why I collected a plankton of cards, turned said cards into components via GF abilities and upgraded Squall's gunblade into the Lionheart – the ultimatest gunblade in the game. Let's call it cheating without actually cheating.

Also: Squall is level 15. Fuck fucking the level scaling. Yes, it sucks but it's also been exaggerated to hell and fuck. I will only turn on the no encounter ability occasionally when I get tired of meeting monsters every five steps.

So anyway, we kill those two G-joes. That's 98 more if we want the best rank. And Squall just leveled up. Hell yeah, boy. You and me, we're gonna have a great time fighting level 100 bite bugs.

update5-06.jpg


So Squad B makes their way through the beautiful city of Dollet. Stopping only occasionally to deal with G-joes jumping down at them from bridges...

update5-07.jpg


or their courageous captain Seifer Su-- Almasy shouting like a retard.

update5-09.jpg

update5-10.jpg


If I didn't hate him so much I would be inclined to agree with Mr Dincht here.

Anyway, back to the crusade of wiping out the Galbadian army! Who in their right mind can fail to acknowledge the mighty corporal Hiding in der Fountain, Galbadia's so far only properly trained fountain camoflague expert?

update5-11.jpg


Yes, he surely held Squad B up at least two seconds all by himself.

update5-12.jpg


The same can be said about their special mechanics forces. They pretend to repair vehicles just like any other mechanics but when approached they go kamikaze on your shit!

update5-13.jpg


*girlish scream*

update5-14.jpg


Total enemies killed so far: 6 out of 100!

We are the greatest mercenaries in the world!

squall.jpg
I think that's all of them.
seifer.jpg
Well then, we're on standby 'til the enemy comes. Standby... how boring...

Just how boring can it be? This is a battlefield, right? I'm sure something will happen. Right, Squall?

update5-15.jpg


Oh well.

update5-16.jpg


Dude, it's only been like a minute.

SUDDENLY!

update5-17.jpg


The dog makes the sound a dog makes... then runs away... Something's up. Hide your asses, gentlemen.

update5-18.jpg


Oh great, yes, behind the fountain is a great place to hide. Well, at least it's better than standing right out in the fucking open like Seifer.

update5-19.jpg


Hey, there's a G-joe.

update5-20.jpg


HEY G-JOE, GET YOUR EYES TESTED!

update5-21.jpg


Another G-joe.

update5-22.jpg


And another, and another, and another, and another, and holy shit what is going on?

squall.jpg
It's the enemy.
zell.jpg
Where the hell they going?

update5-23.jpg


Any ideas, Seifer?

update5-24.jpg


YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

zell.jpg
What?! Oh hell no! Squall, say something, man! I don't wanna go up to that spooky tower!
squall.jpg
I stand by the captain's decision.
seifer.jpg
...Captain's decision?

update5-25.jpg


..uh?

update5-26.jpg


Get your filthy hands off me, you brute!

squall.jpg
It's a good opportunity to test out my training. Thanks to you, I feel like I can take on anyone. Even if they fight dirty, like you.
seifer.jpg
You'll thank me when the time comes.
zell.jpg
What the hell... I thought you guys didn't get along? You're like, all buddy-buddy now.

Oh hey, while we're on this subject! You know, I honestly never got the impression that Squall and Seifer [bi]didn't get along[/b] per se... just that they were both well-trained gunblade specialists that tried their hardest to surpass each other at every turn, and over the course of the game that doesn't really change. As for the training fight earlier, remember that this is a school that maintains a small jurassic park, open 24 hours, totally unsupervised, with very lethal dinosaurs running around, as their default training room. That training fight was a fucking pussy fight and you all know it.

Alright, time to wrap this update up and throw it down... to date... or something, whassup Zell?

zell.jpg
Listen. This ain't no ordinary battle. It's an exam, an important one. I'm tellin' ya, we have to stick to orders.
seifer.jpg
Then you stay here. I don't need any boy scouts.
zell.jpg
What was that!!!?
squall.jpg
Don't take him seriously, Zell.

Read as: shut the fuck up.

squall.jpg
Seifer, if we're gonna go, let's hurry.
seifer.jpg
The enemy is headed for the facility. We, Squad B, are to secure the summit. Move out!

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!


Alright, in the next update we're going to do all that cool shit I promised we'd do in the previous update. It's going to be great. Promise. Double promise.

To me, Pirate's cover cut me the most deep, since it was obviously two very little children, with the little girl not being able to write the inkpen poster herself... Especially the "he likes lettuce and carrots" part.

The covers are another example of how comics can do things movies and books can't. They give us a great deal of information in just a picture and a few words, but they also leave it mysterious and ambiguous. We don't really even know if the military actually stole them, or if they were just random lost animals they picked up from the shelter before anyone noticed.

I also didn't know the tears in doctor Trendle's eyes at the court steps when he saw Bandit and Tinker until this time I read it.

In the battle with 4, Morrison and Quitely also do a great job in making 4 look absolutely terrifying by using realism alone. A big dog baring its teeth while seething with aggression is a pretty scary thing. A similar thing to when Bandit bit the rat in half.

That whole military operation in the game is just laughable. It only gets worse when you do the other ones, like the ridiculous train hijacking. Jesus.

update5-26.jpg

I swear to god, I'd have thought that was a genuine bro fist if you hadn't said it was Squall slapping at him.

Now MOAR swamp thing.

And you can post other awesome comics too. We don't mind.

LIONHEART updates are being too short to appease us.
