Good sol, gremmies. We’re very happy to bring you this week’s installment of ‘Free Mars.’ For your consideration: a micro-fusion explosion! Typically used in mining excavations and other industrial projects, this powerful explosive can carve out an ice shaft in seconds. Used in a popular Jovian Quarter club, however, the results become somewhat more dramatic. The micro-fusion reaction is very controllable though, so one assumes Veruca kept collateral damage down to a minimum.
I’m gonna keep it short this week as I’m transmitting this from the fell woods of western Michigan. I can hear coyotes now and I know I saw a pack cougars in the wine shop earlier today….
After much discussion, I’ve decided to go with my first choice of musical pairing. ’Cherry Bomb‘ by the Runaways.
Until next week,
Dave












LOL Watch out for them cougars Dave they can be pretty aggressive
About the page tho seriously who doesnt love a stripper with a laser pistol and a ptretty fusion explosion to boot but im going to venture a guess and if Iggy ever find out it was Veruca that set that off She going to be workign for free for a long time and then get fired also i wouldnt put that on her next resume
Hmm…on second thought, I’m pretty sure the Burn won’t be getting up from that one. That explosion has “fatality” written all over it. Veruca Wins!
That said, it doesn’t look like the MLF take collateral damage into account all that much.
I hope those soldiers had some chances of survival but now seems dificult…
Maybe the Burn threw themselves in the other direction, and got out of the explosion’s radius on the other side? There’s no telling how many seconds or fractions of a second have passed since they discovered the bomb. Just a couple of seconds ought to be enough to move the distance, right? And given that someone has set them up, it might be smarter to retreat towards the exit rather than deeper into boobies and trapped territory.
Great stuff! I really dig this comic
