Surrender!
Well, the Daredevils’ payback came to a screeching halt this week, thanks in no small part to McGinty’s sudden departure. To help one friend he inadvertently endangered another. Choices like that can be a real bitch…being forced to choose one friend over another or the good of the many over the good of the one (Star Trek reference for the win) is never and enviable position to find yourself in…
And, I hate to say it because I love all of these characters like family, but as we move closer and closer to the finale of Pitch Black Day the choices facing our characters will become increasingly more dire. More importantly though, so too will the consequences of the choices they make. The stakes are high, and the forces of antagonism in the Daredevils’ path are mighty. It’ll be miracle if the crew comes out the other side intact, let alone on top.
Be here NEXT WEEK for the PENULTIMATE page of Pitch Black Day Chapter 3! The end is nigh and all the pieces are falling into place, setting up a SHOCKING finale you will not soon forget. In just 7 days, all of the story threads come to a head, so make sure to RSS, Like, or Follow, lest you risk missing out!
Once again, on behalf of the entire team I’d like to THANK one and all that continue to vote for the Daredevils at Top Web Comics. We are truly grateful to the guys and gals who take time out of their busy lives to show their love for our little webcomic. With that in mind, we’ve got some AWESOME stuff in the works for 2014 that will make it our biggest year yet, and hopefully make all you Daredevilers out there VERY happy!
All of those inquiring about Evin’s health after last week’s shockingly coherent Sunday Bonus Lunch entry need not worry because this week’s installment is once again a weird, schizophrenic mess. All is as it should be.
Anyways, till next week!

Thanks to Lemony Snicket for teaching me the meaning of “Penultimate”
Every time I see her decapitate one of the Vampires I want to sing the Monty Python “Fish Heads” song…
When I saw the carts go past in the previous strips, I thought they were going to steal part of the weapon causing a stalemate or something. Good work!
It’s good to hear that we can continue to surprise you after all this time (though, you have called your fair share of things dead-on, as well).
Que Sera, Sera…
Well lets hope they kept some spare weapons somewhere ’cause I get the feeling the vampire hoard isn’t bright enough to do a pat down. Though the first panel does pose a question, just what is it that makes vampire minions burst into flames like that? Gas? Evil? explosive decompression?
Short answer = Evil.
Long answer = I think we’re kind of going with BLADE movie rules for the way the vamps die. In Blade, no matter how a vampire is killed, they burst into flame and their bodies wither away into nothing but piles of ash. It’s a great visual, so we decided to incorporate that into our vampire opus.
Exactly.
Depending on the wound, a vampire can loose one part of the body and keep on walking, like Dr Spett who loose his eye with Doc´s laser in the first chapter… as Abigail´s weapons are made of silver, including the brass knugles used by McGinty, and the arrows of the crossbow, they have a sort of chemical reaction that lead them to mutilation or death. And when they died, yes, they burn to ashes like on Blade film.
So are they brass knuckles that are silver plated, or silver knuckles?
Ha,ha! Well, I guess they are silver knuckles… Sorry, my english is a little basic… in fact, I first heard of knuckess or brass knuckles when I read the script.
