Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Hm, looking at it again, you're right. For some reason I thought that the ones we're seeing now were robot versions of the troopers we saw before, but they're actually identical other than wearing helmets, which of course is a sensible thing to be wearing in outer space. So I guess at least some of her kind made it out with her, though I wouldn't be surprised if it was just the ones on her ship.
Assuming, of course, that these are in fact males and not robots. Can't know for sure until one of them de-helms, so maybe I'll be proven right anyways.Last edited by AgentPaper; 2014-01-15 at 05:20 AM.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
So Void Archangel doesn't know what the Countess's ships or troops look like? Seems a bit strange, but okay.
Also, Danica looks like she wants to say "....Line?" I guess she knows she won't have anything to contribute until she's asked to step in and save the Void Angels, who will then swear eternal allegiance to her.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Taken by itself, this page is nice. The baloons in the first panel aren't all that well placed, but that's it.
Pity for the plot behind it. And for what will likely follow.Originally Posted by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
I'm starting to like Archvorp. His dialogue here was funny, anyway. Although "what is it with things breaching the hulls of my battleships..." Wouldn't hull breaches generally happen a lot in space battles? At least in battles as portrayed in this comic, where the general goal seems to be to get as close to the other ship as possible.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Not normally. Their whole modus operandi is sneaking up on their targets, and obliterating them from stealth before they can mount a defense. In D&D terms they are more rogues than warriors. Getting hit isnt something they are supposed to experience much of.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Also given their recent history of attacking mostly civilian targets and being the only military force in the galaxy, they probably aren't terribly used to being in a fair fight anyway.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
I liked Archvoid's lines. As long as the villains in this comic are likeable and/or funny the supposed heroine can stay a void of a character.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
From another character, they could be funny, but on him they just make me groan at how incompetent and useless he's becoming. He should be a competent, experienced villain, and this just makes him seem like a incompetent buffoon.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Right so he should call for a fighting withdrawal and use his control over those explosives on his ships so once clear they detonate hopefully damaging that cloaked ship and killing as many of the new enemy as possible...
So he should now flee maybe using an escape pod and then self destruct the ship to insure he isn't followed...
Hmm now what happens if they encounter Danica?
Point, scream "Starpowered!" and flee for their lives?
After all if the Countess had the Void Angels handle them it must make her underlings a little nervous about dealing with the bane of their entire species?

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Ha, look at Danica in second panel, how uninvolved in anything she is! She knows that it's a cutscene, so she can't yet go and kill stuff and just waits when she'll finally be given a quest

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
As per usual, I'd gladly read any Buddy Cop Comic made up of two of Mookie's B-Listers
The Archvoid runs an interstellar mercenary cult devoted to hailing the Void and pushing buttons.
Da Chief is in charge of security of a highly valuable but incredibly undefended space station.
Together, they fight crime.Lead Designer for Oracle Hunter GamesToday a Blog, Tomorrow a Business!

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Actually let's talk a bit more about this. The Countess told Void Archon that her representatives would be showing up. He proceeds to not see them anywhere, and doesn't question the situation until he is ambushed by them an hour later.
I don't think these are actually members of Countess's species however, they're probably robots. If they were members of the same species they would be all shouting "... gods" as some sort of warcry as they jumped across the void.Last edited by Kornaki; 2014-01-16 at 03:30 PM.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
I am waiting for a scene where VArcha says "See you in Honolulu", pulls a lever and starts shooting at the invaders with the ship's cannons, throwing them into the infinite space.

I just googled "star power comic." The first snark thread came up third on the list. Good work!

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
New comic.
Poor little voids.
And it seems Danica finally heard a response she can react to with the full scale of her skills.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Well I was right about him wanting to escape... second one down actually!
Lord how many ships does he have there and as Far as I can see only his is being invaded?
Even if the others are he can just self destruct them after giving his troops the order to disembark and join him on his so he can get rid of any excess Countess forces before escaping himself in the confusion... I mean come on what villain doesn't have his escape pod built into the bridge of his own flagship...
Yes there's that optimism I keep getting warned about!

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Oh for ...
Just when Arch-Vorp was starting to seem like a potentially okay character we have the same "kill my minions who have failed me" schtick as the Countess. Why? To show that he's EEEEEEVIL?

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
seems like a proper time to reflect on how our favorite heroine uses her creativity and intelligence to solve problems.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
So Danica chooses to save the people who were attacking her station and are now threatening to blow it up?
Really, helping Archvorp escape would probably be the best option here. She has no stake in this fight; it's two people who were allied against her now fighting each other. If they keep fighting it means they won't be attacking the station. And if whichever side loses, it'll be one less enemy for the station to worry about.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Head Void was doomed to fail the second he thought about pressing a button.
We get another Mookie classic 'ambush in a straight featureless hallway.
And let's not mince words, if Danica is flinching at this order, what was she going to do when she was ordered to actually do something? This was a terrible plan on both of their parts from the start.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
I looks like Mookie's is using the Shredder as his inspiration for the ArchVoid. I guess "evil but incompetent" is the only way to go.
That been said, I kind of like Garth's artwork. Not perfect, but it conveys a campy spirit that implies we shouldn't take this too seriously. I'm just not sure if that was Garth's intention...

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Ok Danica, next step is to snap his neck like a twig, smash the computer so no random voidys can press the button, and leave. For bonus points shout out, "Fail to the void, suckers!" as you fly off the ship.

Re: Star Power III: Fail to the Void!
Void Archangel. Dude. Why would you want to be escorted by the one person that these forces are going to target more than anyone aboard the ship?
If you know that the Countess wants to kill Danica, and she's clearly not down with your "recruit-the-enemy" plan to the point of killing all your Voidies, why don't you just shove Danica out of an airlock and say "here, have her!"? At this point, using her as a distraction is the best hope that the Voidies can escape alive.
And hey, if the Countess's elite forces do kill Danica, you can always weasel out of it by saying "AHA! Yes, just as I hoped, I lured her here under a false alliance so you could enjoy the kill, your Highness! ...Ehheh. Truce?"
