The Penultimate Page of End(s) of the Earth(s)!
This entire story has been a tug-of-war between magic/faith and cold, hard science, and no page encapsulates that more than this one. On top of the Volcano (in the heavens), it is a joyous scene – a happy ending. The wedding of Joe and the Princess has cured all of the island’s ills.
However, below things are much more complex. Doc repaired the island’s hidden power station and released the pressure in the magma chamber, but unlike above there is no accompanying happy ending. In fact, there is no ending at all, just more questions.
So, you might ask, what does it all mean…what’s the moral of the story? Are we saying that magic/faith is all bull$#!% and science is what truly explains life, the universe, and our place in it? Or, is it that those who believe in a higher power can find joy, contentment, and order in the universe while those who do not find themselves mired in turmoil and self-doubt? I’ll leave that up to you…
Be here NEXT WEEK for the FINAL page of End(s) of the Earth(s)! Since the beginning of the story something SINISTER has been bubbling in the background. In just 7 days, we begin the build up to an absolutely UNBELIEVABLE crescendo!
Seriously, Daredevilers, it’s time to get excited because what comes NEXT is the first step in bringing everything we have done up to this point to FRUITION. As much fun as we have had in the last 2 plus years – the Werewhale, Dracula, the Volcano – it was all just a PRELUDE to what’s coming down the pike. Mark my words, the DEFINITIVE Deep Dive Daredevils story is just over the horizon, and the wait is almost over!
Anyways, till next week!

Awesome page layout.
And I love the way you always lead things to a resolution that raises new questions which are even deeper than the answers given.
Thanks, Timothy!
Uh oh Doc, time to un-fix it now, I think.
Good to see Doc’s inquisitive nature is winning out over his self loathing.
Something tells me that the Space Time Continuum is about to get Fubared, if it isn’t already broke…
If I lose a library book in the Space Time Continuum will I owe an infinate amount of money on it, and (more importantly) can I petition for all the other infinate versions of myself to pay a portion of the fee?
Maybe McGinty will be back after all!
Hi, T.Gatto,
Last week I was a little busy, so here I post you a trailer of my most recent job besides de Daredevils.
In fact 2015 is a real turning point in my career: my first comic book in the States and my first album in France!
You can see more of my stuff on my blog or in Facebook: “Danilo Guida Artwork” page.

Thank You.
Doc… look on the underside where the batteries go in and see if there isn’t a comment to the effect of “impervious to bodily secretions”- if so, I can tell you EXACTLY what that thing is… but not on the forum itself…
the Old (and HIGHLY AMUSED) Sgt.
Ever since the bachelor party you’ve been on a tear, Sarge. Trust me though that device is NOT a toy…if you take my meaning.
“If it is what I think it is…I can sell this to General Electric and make a fortune!”
this page is very “Ohhh SNAP!” worthy. Doc is back and the wedding went without beheading or death by volcanic stoning. I formally up my unsolved mystery count to why it was build plus last week’s mystery.
Current hypoetheis: Doc likely built it, to stabilize the island for reasons unclear, perhaps in the future or perhaps in alternate dimension to ensure current events would unfold. Dead doctor is custer’s failed attempt to prevent island from going ‘vulcan’ in alternate reality/time line. Our Doc is fast & perceptive enough to the fix the problem in time breaking the proverbial chain and ending the destruction of the island.
Alternate theory:
The writers of this comic are truly evil, and not content just to torture Doc (and the rest of the cast) in only 1 reality, so they must invent (in their own twisted minds) other ways to destroy them, and plague them with insurmountable problems.
This story is therefore the creative team’s “release valve” if you will, in that it is letting the readers know that the Crew of the Custer will forever sail on (and under) the Eternal Seas of Doom.
Oh and dogs are cool in every reality, no matter what…
I’ve finally done it! I’ve created a smartphone battery that NEVER needs to be charged.
This technology is too dangerous to let fall into the wrong hands. (like those creeps who always hog the seats near the outlets)
I must guard this technology. I must protect it. I must join with it. I must become… Googolwatt Glassman!
[Now I have to start my own webcomic, just so I can use that as the name of my superhero]
