PAGE THIRTY ONE. Interior, Mobile AP crawler.
It is Friday again, Marsers. Today I am relieved to bring you a very much alive Vikki Grimm, though she’s a little worse for the wear. I love Nic’s medical bay here and I am happy to tell you there will be more shots of the MAP crawler in the next few weeks: it is a cool piece of hardware.
Nic has chosen this week’s music pairing, ‘First Breath After Coma’ by Explosions in the Sky. For those who are unfamiliar with the track:

My choice also involved comas, but mine was the more obvious Smiths song. I think Nic’s is better.
We are one week out from C2E2. The comic are en route and we are crazy excited about seeing them. If you’re going to C2E2 and want to reserve a copy, shoot me an email at freemarscomic@gmail.com. I’m hoping we have plenty, but you never know. I have to save some for Adepticon a couple weeks later. I’d like to do a deal for our regular readers at both conventions. Something like a signed print with every comic. I will think about that and get back to you. Hope to see some of you in Chicago,
Dave
the music is not at all what i expected for Free Mars, very nice nonetheless. it’s the fist time i’m able to listen to one of your recommended tracks while reading the comic.
It looks like Kessler got pretty banged up in the fight too, which begs the question, what fate could’ve befallen Colonel Lynch?
The think the purely instrumental track suits this piece quite well. It captures the mood perfectly. Good job, guys.
“I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that we had to remove your arm.
The good news is that you now have marketing appeal for fans of ‘bandage babes’.”
Ah, gotta love the post. Explosions in the Sky are such a great band.
That crawler is badass.
If you look very closely at the man in onthe page adn kessler on the banner onthe side of the page you’ll see that the two men of very diffrent chins and noses and the scars on the scenond mans face would stay with a man and if i got the character of Kessler nailed down he’s the type of man that would bare his scars happily and proudly even mroe so as the leader of the resistants
ialso for got to say Vikki’s undies are kinda cute then again she is a red head and pretty much anythign looks good on a red head
Yeah, I could be dead wrong. At first I thought it might be Kessler, but you’ve got a point, there is a it of a difference. We’ll find out if I’m wrong soon enough.
Is Kessler finally back? Sure hope so.
@ comichero:
The basic facial structure of the guy hovering over Vicki and that of the Kessler propaganda poster at the corner of the page is largely identical; the differences, I think, can be put down to the poster being rather stylized (notice the blocky fists behind Kessler’s head), as propaganda posters often tend to be.
As for the scars, it’s quite likely he only just picked them up in the recent firefight.
