The Deep Dive Daredevil’s THIRD Anniversary!
Sitting here now it’s hard to remember my weekly routine before we christened this baby and set sail into uncharted waters on April 17th 2012. Every Sunday (or Monday if I’m feeling lazy) I sit down and write this very blog. Then when the blog is done and the week’s page is finalized (which can sometimes be as late as Monday evening) I schedule the update for Tuesday at 12:01am. And finally on Tuesdays, I promote the new page on social media, and in the evening I interact with you guys/gals in the comments. This routine isn’t just something I do, nope, it has become part of WHO I AM in the last three years.
So, the question is, what the hell am I gonna do with myself during the hiatus?! Speaking of the hiatus, make sure to sign up for our email newsletter (top of the left side-bar) to keep in touch during the break.
Enough about me though, how about this page, right! To be fair, I DID tell you that this epilogue was going to get CRAZY. Well, here’s another spoiler alert…YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET!
Be here NEXT WEEK for your first look inside the BEHEMOTH that just materialized in the water from out of nowhere. WHAT the heck is going on? WHO is responsible? HOW is this possible? In just 7 days, the thread to the BIGGEST mystery of the entire run continues to unravel. Do not miss the penultimate page of Deep Dive Daredevils Volume One!
Bonus Spoiler Alert: Yeah, next week is big, for sure, but in TWO weeks EVERYTHING changes! Am I being enigmatic? Yes. Am I engaging in hyperbole? Hell no. Prepare thyself, dear reader…
Anyways, till next week!
-Matt-
In a different ‘verse, that BEHEMOTH would be called an Alliance Cruiser.
A design that is as impressive as it is impractical, to signal the we-can-make-even-this-float attitude. And what a wonderful combination of Reichstag, Skycrapers, Ancient Rome, futuristic superweapon, and a touch of animalistic …
OK, if I were a proper nerd, I’d probably recognize more – or something different – but, whatever, I just think this is awesome.
Thanks, as always, for the kind words, Timothy!
This page definitely got everyone fired up and calling out a bunch of references that I had fun googling. If I was a proper nerd I would have known that you were referencing Mass Effect.
Ah hell….they have Stargate’s Atlantis on their side…. Quick roll up the victory flag! Oh I bet it’s “triangular” in over all design thus the triskelion on the flag….
See!? Another apropos reference, and I’ll even admit to the fact that I’ve watched my fair share of Stargate Atlantis.
Bah! If it can be made to float, it can be made to sink. After all, there are two classes of military vessels-
1) Submarines
2) TARGETS!
… emergency flank speed on that thing requires all citizens to flush toilets at the same moment.
… btw- you reckon Herr Hitler is trying to… compensate… for something here…?
That’s the spirit, Sarge! Never say die!
Great Ghu! It’s YAMATO vs The Comet Empire!
Welcome aboard, MasterDriver!
I definitely had to google your reference, and I was shocked at how appropriate it is. I am now determined to get my hands on some Space Battleship Yamato manga.
Thanks for reading!
Yep… that wasn’t what I was expecting in the slightest. Was it there all along? Did it teleport from another place… or time? Are the spikes there to repel boarders? Does it have an exhaust port at least two metres wide in which to ‘insert’ a fired torpedo?
Glad to hear we surprised you, mkgregory! All of your questions will be answered when the time is right.
And yes, for the Daredevils’ sake, we can only hope that this monstrosity was designed by the same morons who designed the Death Star (another apt reference). Ha!
I would love to read the description you wrote for Danilo Guida to Illustrate. Or did it just say “Insert Big F’n intimidating vessel here”?
Somehow I don’t think those Aquanazis know just what they now have coming to them.
If I posted the description it would spoil some future surprises…but I will say that we described the broad strokes and Danilo made it the super-cool thing that you see with all the details he added.
Okay, now we’re getting somewhere! I was hoping that the “Giga-Reich” had more to offer than one lousy U-boat. This is truly a challenge worthy of the Deep Dive Daredevils!
They say a hero is only as good as the villain they face.
Well, if that’s true, then the Deep Dive Daredevils are going to have to be some damn good heroes.
And, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
Hi crazyman, remember a few pages ago, when you called me out for implying the enemy might come up with something as mundane as an aircraft carrier?
