    Maybe the promise to his wife turns out to be...

    Gordito lives. As an undead vampire.

    Actually, this might very well be the only reason Gordito survives. We already know that when the next time incursion occurs, Doc is going to be all on his own.

    Where does Dan keep that staff?

    It keeps being there and then not being there for a few panels at a time.

    I hope not. The comic is too lighthearted to get away with the ending being that depressing. It's not exactly game of thrones.

    Well, without killing everyone, possible there might one or two dath. With the one exeption of Dracula appearing here, if the encounters do more or less follow every of the docotr battles so far, and in absence of any convenient astronaut to sacrifice (ohad the nasaghast is destroyed anyway) , there may be need for some people to do something ... drastic if a 'Geneo 3' shows up or even just some kind of time beast related thing as a stand in.

    (I mean it's unlikely Radical and his pause could have procurated any of the space dinosaurs but the Horrorsaurus were lab bred and, with that 'related to the time beast ? yes but it's a storry for another time' alt text back then, that jsut has to come back in one form or another.)

    I very much doubt it though.

    That's exactly what I've been thinking for a while. He promises us this ending where a lot of people die and stuff, but it completely doesn't fit the tone of the comics so far (with the exception of the dinosaur past of the future, which we kind of skimmed over). Sure, having Sparklelord kill Ron was a good start, but the last part of this second half of the end is going to have to get so much more gritty than even the first 3/4 of the same storyline to deliver on that nobody is safe thing...

    Actually, depending on the tone of stories, someone being a vampire might not be a depressing thing at all. And Dr Mcninja is one setting where it might actually be lighthearted. Not saying that gordito will become one, but if he become one, it might just be treated as a silly thing and he'll survive as immortal gunslinging vampire vigilante up to the far future.

    Do zombies create other zombies with a bite in the McNinja universe? I don't recall whether that was actually specified.

    I wouldn't think that the original set would have. They were reanimated thanks to Franklin's eternal-life fiddling, and even if it were contagious that shouldn't take effect until after someone is dead. There isn't an infection that just outright kills anybody bitten.

    Then again, since classic zombies do, and the McNinja-verseruns on tropes, they almost certainly do.

    Now he's been bitten by a vampire AND a zombie! He just needs to be attacked by a werewolf to complete the trifecta.

    And yes, zombie bites are infectious in the McNinja universe. Go back and read "Revenge of the Hundred Dead Ninja."

    This page would suggest yes, and they must have had some way of spreading to have overrun Mayor Chuck's original timeline.

    Let's hope his skin is too tough for the necromancy to penetrate.

    As an ogre, Marty might be immune. Doubly so, if he's a vampire ogre.

    That would be the longest range killshot in the comic to date, Mary's house crashing in to deliver some sort of plot device.

    I doubt Mary will come in before we learn the specifics of how Doc's curse works. After all, both her power and the curse involve "miracles".

    Mary is one of the teen superheroes that Doc hung out with in college along with Marty. IIRC, she was faith-based and so her powers were always something that could be chalked off as coincidence. When she got attacked after Marty spilled the beans, a tornado picked up her house and whisked her halfway across the country.
