With the return of the holiday to the pages of the comic last year (and soon to be this year), our official annual Winter-een-mas shirt is back for the first time since 2012.
Is this the method they use to turn Zeke into a good guy? I’ve been hoping for that to happen.
In the original comic run he wasn’t exactly a good guy…
Yeah, but he wasn’t a villain.
He was a bit of an Anti Hero in a story that physically could not have Anti Heroes barring brief 3 page scenes.
OOOOORRRRRR….. just make it looks like the old X-Box because that’s about right on the size lol.
That would be pretty cool.
Yes! Original Xbox has my vote!
Finally a Way Out!
So let me understand this… They are going to save a large shipment of newest generation phones, by fighting ninja robots… using a high powered EMP? Does anyone else see anything inherently flawed in that plan?
i think its less save the phones and more stop the robots.
Yeah. The phones will be affected by EMP too. Ug.
As long as the phones aren’t on, they should be minimally or not at all affected by an EMP
I don’t know enough about EMPs, but this was my thought as well. Add the fact that it’s clearly noted it’s a short range device, it seems doubtful that the entire shipment would be ruined in any scenario, then consider the fight could be on the docks or something, then there’s a good chance that not a single phone from the shipment would be in range.
I see this as the start of them being criminals in the eyes of the public. xD
What do you think we’re reading, Worm? These guys are heroes!
They are Vigilantes. Not heroes, at least not official ones.
Me too. In fact I think this is an obvious trap….
There will be little to no risk of more than prehaps a phone or 3 that is accidentally turned on being damaged. Outside of this, they will be fine.
EMPs work by frying electronics with added power from the “blast”. If the device wasn’t turned on, there is a smaller chance of it getting destroyed (less energy in the system=less chance of melting from generated heat).
Also sometimes EMP are mistaken with jammers, but they only block signals by flooding every possible chanel of radio communication (wifi, controllers counts as well)
Or a 3DO, one of the worst game consoles ever (quip: “Let me ruin your game”).
That’s fitting for an electromagnetic device that destroys all other technology.
Cape Boy and Arrow Guy? Nononono.
Always-Alive Boy and Deadly Guy
Actually, I can’t think of a better alternative for D-Pad that also starts with D, sorry.
There are more, but I just can’t think of any.
Directional Guy.
Directional One.
Isn’t that exactly what the D in D-pad stands for? This changes nothing.
Always-Living Boy and Determining Position Guy.
There we go.
Deadly Direction?
Quick comment on the shading- (I know nothing about art, btw) maybe a little too much on the eyes? Lucas’ eyes in panel 2 is the same color as the couch.
This is done digitally, so I think Lucas’s eye simply was filled with the wrong color. It’s a much lighter hue than the couch, but I think your concern is due to there being enough specks of black in the area of his eye that you are percieving it as blue when it is white. Not colorblindness, just a visual illusion. Actually, it does look like it’s a sky blue…
Looks like all 3 of them have glowing blue eyes, lol.
It does look like a console
Ok, this has been buggin me for years, what does the name wintern-een-mas means? Is it a pun of something?
Ethan’s brain just mushed the words “Winter” and “Halloween” and “Christmas” all together.
Ah, thanks! That makes… sense?
So, with Lucas benched, does this mean that we’re going to see Ethan try to solo this? That’s not exactly smart, guy.
I just keep having this dream of Scott Iron-Manning it with some sort of power armor. Then again, that’s not exactly what you do when you’re going to trigger an EMP.
I feel like Scott would just create a remotely controlled robot instead of his own suit. Too much effort to make a suit instead of a remote device.
