GO!!
I know we just recently passed Father’s Day (where me, my wife, and my young ‘uns did some horseback riding), but this page is all about being a MOM. What Doc’s mom does on this page is the equivalent of that well-worn cliché, you know, when a mother develops the herculean strength to lift a car when her child’s life is in danger. Now, I don’t necessarily believe that a mom can summon super-human strength, but when push come to shove a mama bear (another cliché, yay!) is going to do what it takes to protect her cub.
Well, in this case we have a woman who comes from a planet devoid of violence; we also get the feeling that she is one of the most enlightened people on this particularly enlightened plant. And, despite all of that, she intentionally stages the horrific murder of one dude and then straight up mugs another trained soldier and swipes his his gun.
In the last panel, those tears are surely in some part the product of the total abhorrence she must feel about what she’s had to do to give her son even the slightest hope at a future…
Be here NEXT WEEK to, simply put, see what happens next. The END of this chapter is just pages away, and the build to that CRESCENDO begins in 7 days!
Till next time!

“ARGGGLLLL…”
Sound effects aside, why do I get the feeling the stuff they teleported out probably exploded violently on arrival?
To quote Bill Murray in Ghostbusters, “This man has no dick.” That’s a rough way to go, man. ARGLLLL…indeed.
As for what happened to the Eternite that jumped out of the room…we’ll soon see for ourselves.
I think the real dark humor here is that wherever the eternite went for just a few seconds before the explosion, there would be a flailing leg with a dick attached which is enough for whomever sees it to go “WTF?!” …then explosion.
I love it when things go Boom!***
I think we just witnessed the birth of the resistance. Way yo go Doc’s Mom!
*** And in my mind it was a big boom.
Yes, big ups to Doc’s mom – the MOTHER of the Resistance.
Mein Gott!
Verdammt!
