And, Chapter Two is a wrap!
Woot! Did Danilo knock this one out of the park or what? I’ve been champing at the bit to show this page off since the first sketches of it hit my inbox many moons ago. Go ahead, scroll back up and give it one more look…
Back? OK, good. So, that sure is one mega-pissed werewhale bearing down on the Custer! Just how the heck are the Daredevils gonna get out of this one? Well, hold on to your hats because it’s going to be two weeks before we let you off the hook…
Yep, as I mentioned a couple weeks ago, we are going to be taking a one-week break between Chapter Two and Chapter Three. But, fear not, that doesn’t mean we won’t be updating next week. In fact, NEXT WEEK is going to be bursting with new and exciting Deep Dive Daredevil stuff!
First, we’ll be posting a never-before-seen exclusive illustration by Danilo Guida, and if that isn’t enough for you, we’ll also be launching the Official Deep Dive Daredevils online store! The store will be offering a handful of limited edition, hand numbered 11×17 prints. And let me tell you, some of the test prints are sitting on my desk as I write this and they look fantastic!
But that’s not all! We’ll also be giving out free stuff next week, as well. That’s right, FREE STUFF! Make sure to RSS, Like, or Follow so you don’t miss out…
As always, we’d be much obliged if you would throw a vote or two our way on topwebcomics.com. We’ve cracked the top 300, but there is oh-so-much more work to do before the Daredevils breach the front page.
And, yeah, make sure and visit the blog for all the Sunday Bonus Lunch you can handle. I guarantee you will leave with a stomach full of content.
THANKS again, guys, for making this all possible! Chapter Three is where we really get into the meat of the story. I can’t wait for you to see what is in store.
Anyways, till next week!
-Matt-
Oh Yeah!!!
Gettin mighty interestin!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Hold on tight because Chapter Three is going to blow your socks off!
Sweet Georgia Brown!! Look at the size of that thing!!!!!!
I THINK he’s just going to gently place them in his teeth, like a seal, and lift them to the surface.
I see the look of love in his eye…
DARN IT! Now we’re going to have to re-write the opening of Chapter Three…
Not to knock an astounding piece of illustration, but a minor point of cetology, sperm whales only have teeth in their lower jaws . . . of course that may not be true of werewhales . . .
werewhale? there whale, there submarine . . .
Also sperm whales were known to crush whaleboats in their jaws.
Excuse me, I’m rather punchy, haven’t slept in 24 hours . . .
Indeed. The -ahem- werewhale’s physiology is rather inconsistent with that of a typical Physeter Macrocephalus. In addition to the modified jaw structure, it is also much larger than any Sperm Whale ever catalogued in the wild. Perhaps the inclusion of human DNA is the culprit.
However, all further analysis will have to wait until the BEAST HAS CEASED IN ITS ATTEMPT TO KILL US ALL!
which brings to mind an interesting question… Werewolves transmit the curse by biting the victims… Is the werewhale curse also transmitted by bite? Sadly, to prove or disprove this theory someone would have to actually survive the bite… Well doctor, in the worst case scenario, the crew might help us to get that answer… IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE!
It kind of makes you wonder….if you use silver to handle werewolves what would you use for a were-whale?
Hmmmm…I wonder if we’ll address this in Chapter Three?
I wonder…
A harpoon made of silver perhaps?
Launch the silver torpedoes!!!
The Silver Surfer?
This does make me appreciate my time on nuke boats a lot… A nuke, Walter, Stirling, or fuel cell boat designed for extended underwater duration ops is such an advance over GUPPY and Gato class originals. This doesn’t mean you can’t add Walther peroxide turbine drives or a Stirling motor with high pressure burner chamber to a Gato class, though I don’t think even a Tullibee S2C reactor would fit…
I said it before, but jeez louise…
This guy knows A LOT about submarines!
Hmmm… so you use a Tench or Balelo class sub as bait for werewhales, eh? Must be blazes reeling them in… and then there’s the issue of getting parts for your bait once the werewhale been hauled in and gutted… them teeth can cause a bit of damage… and Tench or Balelos ain’t in production anymore… what kinda line would you use? I think four pound MIGHT not be heavy enough… I’m stickin’ to trout…
Back home we got a taxidermy man. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him!
Welcome aboard, Sgt. Howard!
If they can’t get out of it, there is only one way to go: Into the belly of the werewhale!
Jonah style!!
That is a whale of a… whale.
Welcome aboard, Swagner!
Yeah, this is still one of my favorite pages in the entire run. Danilo knocked this page out of the park, and it is a gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks for reading!
