The Captain opens up a can of whoop-ass!
He’s got legs, and he know how to use them. HA. Seriously though, we figured since in this story Custer can actually run, kick, and jump that he should, you know…do that kind of stuff. So, we took it to the next level and actually have him performing a Professional Wrestling move – called a “Spear” – on a Giga-Reich Trooper in Panel 3, and anybody who knows Dan, Evin, and I will know just how happy that makes us – old-school wrestling fans that we are.
Also, just eight pages in, I think it is safe to say that we’ve seen more of Custer in Volume Two than in all the preceding stories combined. When the Captain can’t leave the sub’s bridge it’s mighty hard to get him involved in the action. Generally, he is relegated to yelling at the crew over the intercoms and such. Basically, I’m saying enjoy getting up close and personal with Custer while you can because we all know it can’t last forever…
Be here NEXT WEEK when the WAR between Custer and the Giga-Reich continues!
Anyways, see you then!

My that’s one crispy kraut
Welcome aboard, John Courge!
Now, you’ve got me thinking about Crispy Cremes, which, I’m sure, taste a hell of a lot better than Crispy Kraut
All that work on ballistic protective armor and nobody ever thinks about fire retardant properties…
Is “ARGGGUULLLE” from panel #5 translated from German?
I believe the exact translation is “FLAME RETARDANT UNIFORM MY ASS!”
Yes, I think you are correct.
TKG’s translation is officially canon.
Blazaat!
I never get tired of how sounds are translated into the written word in comics. Takes me back to the Adam West days watching Batman when I was a kid
However I don’t think the doctor is going to be getting up again anytime soon after being ‘blazaated’!
Yeah, we love the onomatopoeia, as well. Would you believe that the SFX are probably the thing that Evin, Dan, and I argue about the most when we are editing a script?
And, 1,000 times yes, the 60′s Batman TV show is the BEST!
Your onomatopoeia has no click, no snap! And any true Bat-Maniac knows that Kevin Conroy is the Batman to beat.
Anyway, I love this comic, especially now that the Captain is able to really mix it up with the Giga-Reich! You can be sure I’ll be here for the next page; same Daredevil-time, same Daredevil-channel!
