JEMINI’S COPYCAT COUNTERATTACK pg10
Them’s a lotta’ kids! Sure, they can’t fight to save their skinny behinds, but maybe under Jemini’s tutelage they could be a force to be reckoned with? Sure, and wiener dogs will fly! (geez, can you imagine THAT terror?)
More to come next Sunday, or you can just read the whole story now in Scapula: Doubly Dark & Deadly!
You’d think, with two brains to mull it over, Jemini would have verified whether her planned army was prepared before expending all that ammo. What would have made more sense, was to put one through all the training, and then create an army.
But, what do I know? I’ve never been an evil criminal mastermind.
The whole issue with Dio has been one major fluke after another; Jemini did remark earlier that she would have rather used the nanobots on a more fitting test subject (such as a soldier or mercenary), but the cops raided her lair and she was stuck with the expendable kid instead.
The best laid plans of mice, men, and kids who are probably not men and definitely not mice…where was I? Aw well…looks like she’s going to have to make do with an army of chatterboxes!
I really love the shot of “that coward Scapula” legging it out the door like a startled jackrabbit.
It’s almost up there with “Hope that’s the last of those drug-addled, tie-dyed hippies…OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HYPNAUSEA” in terms of cheap, effective foreshadowing.
Are you tired of drawing Dios yet?
“Cowardly Scapula” returns from time to time; even though I’ve made more of an effort over the years to toughen him up from the pathetic early years of the series he still has that “fight or flight” reflex. Perhaps he’s gotten wiser about picking his battles?
As for drawing Dios…yeah, that took forever and a half. I challenged myself to draw this crowd without resorting to “CTRL+C, CTRL+V”, so I drew a small guide to keep Dio on model and then proceeded to draw the little brat again and again and AGAIN AND AGAIN (etc). Hope you folks appreciate it!
Very appreciative, but now that raises one question that should probably be ignored for the sake of the story.
How does Dio keep her hairstyle after each deathsplit?
The same way the Dios are able to duplicate their clothing and jewelry…UNSTABLE MOLECULES!
…wait, I’ve just been handed a subpoena by Reed Richards (his arm actually stretched from New York to California to hand it to me). It appears I’ve infringed on his copyright and am now liable to something called “clobbering time” by his attorney.
I think my favorite bit is ‘Can we use tanks?’. Well… that MIGHT make the Dios dangerous, albeit not as intended!
I have no idea what driving a tank is like, but I wouldn’t imagine it’s just something that anyone can do. As for Dio, we don’t even know if the little brat has a regular driver’s license (for this country or any other), so putting them behind the controls of a tank would end with a lot of fatalities (and, of course, more Dios).
I don’t remember a claw match with an annoying…person but I’ll take their word for it.
I’m more of a puncher anyways.
