You fought mooks who didn’t have a reason to fight. This batch on the other hand “knows” what happens if they don’t catch him. So yes they bring out the big guns.
Man that always works, even on real people…
I’ve done that in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign, with ghasts (which have taser touch). You see, they look exactly like ghouls, which suck. After facing a few ghouls, the players get cocky, charge in, and die stupidly. Works evey time :)
Especially how Virus and Eastwood have the wide-eyed “imminent pain detected” look on their faces, while Lothar is going all cyborg-not-feeling-particularly-threatened-must-first-analyse-opponents
Though they would hate to admit it, this is one of those rare situations where the team would prefer Wildfire to Rogue.
She would turn the priceless historical site into smoking rubble, but even she isn’t so dumb as to do a “come at me, bro!”
Since they let Virus live, and continue to be an inquisitor, despite this screw-up, just how badly did he screw up with a vehicle to have everyone fear for their life at the thought of him driving/piloting, and refuse to hand him the keys?
Noodle Incidents are not funny because there’s some outrageous explanation that the author is hinting at.
They’re not funny because you can think up some funny explanation that the author hasn’t thought of.
Noodle incidents are funny because THERE IS NO EXPLANATION that lines up with all of the stated facts. In effect, the references to the noodle incident suggest that someone achieved the impossible in a bad way.
Plus, it’s more fun for us to imagine what Virus could have done that’s so horrible that he’d be banned from operating any moving vehicles rather than having them come right out and say it.
If the level ones were puppets on a string, I can see how the new batch is super effective in comparison. I can’t help but be reminded of Hunter x Hunter chimera ant arc. Which could still be ongoing considering it took seven twenty minute block episodes to cover twelve minutes and seven seconds of time.
I’m still looking forward to the moment when Harry reveals himself to be the true ever-chosen or Wildcard shows up.
Really, Rogue, you must have seen this coming.
I saw most of that coming, except…
I really thought Lothar would slap virus on the back and make a ¨been there done that¨ joke.
Oddly enough, so did I…

Or the Tasers. Either way, the ‘heroes’ are in some deep trouble.
That made me laugh :) Glad to see a new comic !
Ah not-completely-useless mooks, I love them… The protagonists are always surprised !

Tazzed right in the nip, god damn that has to hurt. Good thing all four of these wankers deserve it.
Shocked through the heart? And who’s to blame? they give demon killing a bad name.
And thank you so much for getting that music stuck in my brain for the next six weeks.
Bravo sir, bravo
Rogue, meet Tazer.
Nothing disrupts one’s laid-back pace like several thousand volts to the chest.
At least Horatio has escaped and can go get help. Vitani’s not going to be happy about her food being bruised.
Lothar’s joke about level 2 mooks and equipment slots seems more fitting to Eastwood.
Nothing like a taser to the chest to kick Rogue’s ego back a notch though :p
Eastwood was holding in the urge to vomit at the moment, so it could be forgiven.
Or just trying to swallow the vomit faster than more came up.
Eastwood’s reaction to what Virus did was worth the price of admission alone. XD
tell them come at me bro they said, it’;; be fun they said. Rouge lets try not to repeat that again you cocky bastard.
The level 2 mooks line got me. I nearly choked on my food damn you!
Especially how Virus and Eastwood have the wide-eyed “imminent pain detected” look on their faces, while Lothar is going all cyborg-not-feeling-particularly-threatened-must-first-analyse-opponents
I love how the guy who got Rogue just keeps tazing him through the whole thing. It’s little visual gags like that that really get me. :)
Quick! Someone grab Rogue’s lightsaber and do a three-sixty!
“Its not a fucking lightsaber! Its a laser sword!!!”
I know, but he reminds me too much of Hayden Christensen, so I’m sticking with lightsaber, while thoroughly enjoying the taser-fest…
These are probably the mooks kept around in case shit got real. Apparently, shit it VERY real to warrent busting THESE dudes out.
Also, Rogue has always been my least favorite of the four mains. Always enjoyable to see him suffer. XD
He’s still the sexiest among them.
i bust a gut laughing so hard XD
I’m still laughing as I type this. OMG, East, that face.
Was Virus looking ambivalent or nauseous in the seventh panel? Also Harry does a great Ren and Stimpy impression!
This is easily the funniest page yet
A new EN on my birthday! This is the best gift ever! And a hilarious comic on it’s own I might add! Good show, gentlement!
Happy (belated) birthday! I shall dedicate my next slice of cake to your successfully staying alive for another trip around the sun.
Love Virus’ “Please let the ground swallow me up!” expression!
They were asking for it
Yes, yes they were…
Though they would hate to admit it, this is one of those rare situations where the team would prefer Wildfire to Rogue.
She would turn the priceless historical site into smoking rubble, but even she isn’t so dumb as to do a “come at me, bro!”
Granted, she probably lacks the BRAINCELLS required for that level of thoughtful arrogance.
I can almost hear that cartoon fighting sound effect on the last panel.
I wonder if the tasers will be effective against Eastwood. He must have got tasered so often he’s probably built up some resistance…
I imagine Eastwood has acquired immunities to electricity and chemical irritants… specifically those found in mace and pepper spray.
A valid point, if he wasn’t puking his guts out…
Plus I spotted a few of those guys having billy clubs and cattle prods, so bludgeoning is in effect as well.
Why do these things even work on Lothar? I totally expected say “I have inbuilt resistance to tasers” and get up and kick their asses.
Ah well, you can’t let one character’s awesomeness darail the plot. I do wonder where they will wake up though…
I love how even Lothar looks disgusted… especially given where they first met him.
Since they let Virus live, and continue to be an inquisitor, despite this screw-up, just how badly did he screw up with a vehicle to have everyone fear for their life at the thought of him driving/piloting, and refuse to hand him the keys?
Don’t ask. Literally.

“Come at me, bro!” (Tazed) “Don’t taze me, bro!”
The level 1 mooks only exist to lull you into not running when you see the level 2 mooks.

there is something odd about virus’s face in 7th panel, the eye is missing its pupil i think? not even sure…
Top right corner :)
I think he’s just cringing and rolling his eyes at the same time…
you know shit’s very wrong when Lothar is the one judging you
Rogue. Ya dun goofed.
