Looks like Scapula has assembled himself a new crew. Will he be able to keep this rowdy gang under control better than the Sinister Monster Doom Legion? Let’s find out this week.
…and if you’re in Los Angeles today, be sure to come to Comikaze and swing by my table!
Ave Imperator, morituri te salutant!
Uhhhhh….dagnabbit, what Latin do I know? Sick semper, tyrannosaurus!
It’s what gladiators said to the emperor of Rome before fighting in the Circus Maximus. 🙂 Translates to “Hail, emperor, before we die, we salute you.”
Oh, that’s cool! I just thought it was random Latin you could stick into a Goth/Industrial song and have it sound spooky (‘Omnis Mundi Creatura’ means something, I guess…).
Is scap finally growing some balls? oopps no just a boner
Tee hee…balls and boner. It’s like being thirteen again and listening to your classmates giggle. Boobs!
Some of us can’t even order chicken breasts without giggling like a school girl. *snigger*
Tee hee hee hee hee heeeee! “Chicken”!
Remember spelling BOOBS on the calculator.? Remember Calculators?
Tee hee hee hee….80085.
This… is going to end poorly. As soon as he is no longer the only one with all the power.
C’mawn, there’s gotta be a SCAPULA story with a happy ending, right?
….right?
I suspect that someone will be happy at the end but it won’t be our master of disguise. He did manage to pull off that rescue like a professional.
Someone, somewhere, will be happy…perhaps across the lake there’s a camper who’s having a great ol’ time!
Yes it does seem like Scap has gotten a great deal more gutsy … Where did this macho ness come from allasudden? Maybe it is something in the water.
Maybe it was something in the air he breathed at Burning Man that’s still in his system. Hear that, kids? Drugs will solve ALL of your problems!
Wow, this is not Jemini’s day. It’s Scap’s. He finally kisses her and doesn’t get stabbed in return. ASSUMPTIONS: I worry that the minute he feels actual affection (not from Jemini, I am assuming) that he will stop being so bad ass.
But again, I am assuming and you know what they say about assuming?
What they say about assuming: “Huh huh huh huh…you just said ‘ass’. Huh huh huh.”
Will your prediction come true? Will Scapula fall for Jemini? Will Jemini fall for Scapula? Will they both fall together or fall off a cliff? Let’s find out!
Did he kiss her, or whisper something in her ear? I expect that panel will be a plot-point later.
He kissed her. It might have been kind of creepy if he whispered a ‘sweet nothing’ in her ear, but instead he settled for the ol’ puckeroo!
I’m just saying, it’s tricky to tell at the angle shown, and maybe I’ve just been watching too many movies, but whispering plans and such you want to keep between oneself and another person, under the guise of a kiss, is a common trick.
Both are very good points, so let’s go with the whispering angle. What did he whisper? “You’ve got a nice, squishy butt.”
I was about to say, he might be more cunning than that, and be plotting with her to take out the idiot trio, but… yeah. That just might be giving him a bit too much credit.
“Play along or I’ll blow your whole damned doppleganger secret wide open and put your boss’ home address on Facebook.”
😀
“Chaos and anarchy are wonderful allies, capable of making a man into an emperor. But by their nature they never last, and thus neither does the crown.”
Little quote from my Pocket Philosopher, I believe it’s chinese in origin. In short, enjoy while it lasts, this wave is gonna crest soon!
Tyrants never live or reign eternally, but they can sure cause a helluva lot of damage in the meantime. Whatever Scapula has planned (and however long he lives to enact it), it wont be pretty!
Peculiar historical fact: There have been good and bad tyrants. Typically the only time a country undergoes any change besides slow corruption it’s because someone has executed every rival and taken the place by the throat. Then it either goes terrible, or they prove good leaders and things improve! For the former, see most tyrants, for the latter see Julius Ceasar (things improved for the romans at least!).
…….. I’m not putting money on Scap getting to play the role of Ceasar. He might drink a few, but I doubt it’ll help.
I wonder if his involuntary gang will be more successful than his willing accomplices!
Depends on his new approach to management; the other guys in the Sinister Monster Doom Legion probably wouldn’t have responded well to Scapula’s threats. Let’s see how this one goes!
That….was…da SHIT!!!
Aidan, you’re givin’ it to me just the way I want it. I feel the same excitement that I had when i used to read ASM during the Hobgoblin days. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed this shit, George!
Was it Roger Stern who was helming Spidey during the Hobgoblin era? Well, whoever it was, happy to hear it was enjoyable!
He could be a real bad-ass if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s Scapula! Super job on emotions and the color, Aidan!
He might be doing some terrible things now, but the inescapable fact that he’s Scapula might bring everything crashing down!
