Oh gods,What was that flew from her head other than grey matter?

Must be a stylish piece of tech!

I've been wondering what the heck that was for a while now.
It's possible that the tiny brain things are a symbolic representation of what's actually happening (i.e. that her head has burst open), but that doesn't explain the figure.

The gun is firing something like smoke - the first panel is confusing as the stuff seems to be firing out sideways and narrowing down to a point, the opposite of what it is likely to do unless it has been spreading out for some time. On the other hand it could literally be that she's died some extremely trippy death.

I am wondering whether Slick's 'modification' of the gun is to do with the little soul-gem thing.

I think he might have sucked something out of the soul-gem using his gun, since the sound effects in this comic imply some kind of... suction? She could have fired whatever was inside of the orb at the Scout.

That's kind of what I'm thinking, except that given how valuable it was to the Princess and IIRC her people, it hardly sounds like a one-shot trick. It would be a waste if it was.
I'm assuming that either he reckons he can get it back, or whatever it was hasn't exhausted the gem completely.

either that or we have a new character running around

or possibly one that can still be crammed back into the bauble, and removed at will. the fact that its a kind of family heirloom hints that its got a use, and has been used before

It's the Arc-of-the-Covenant gun from Hexen. Where all these little souls shoot out of it and kill everyone.

Well maybe now they'll actually be fighting instead of this hide and seek.

I didn't like the sniper snake anyway. She was taking all the spot light from the other girls anyway.

Maybe some of them might walk away from this with their brains intacked. But where's the fun in that?

I'm sorry for this.

No I'm not. Not in the least. Spellchecker comes standard with Firefox you know!
