Curious - ID using a cell-phone. Reminds me of a detail in a Cthulhu Mythos role-playing game where, at one point, Cthulhu sends a fake phone call to one of the investigators -to lure him to the bell tower where a trap has been set ! The inter-active story involves dream research, and Cthulhu's newest plan to transfer his mind into a new body generated by the technology in that dream probing center. Published by Chaosium.

Great expression work in panel four, hee hee, surprise! Id is looking creepier, with two sets of pupils and irises in the same eyeball! shudder Very effective design! Alright! We'll have a good ol' fashioned knock-down-drag-out fight, which is much more Saurus's style. All this planning and waiting must be driving him nuts.

what are shadow stars powers?

Eggplantm In reply to the-tod [2011-03-08 15:57:49 +0000 UTC]
Shadowstar can control both light and darkness. His light powers are mostly offensive and his darkness powers are used to blind or confuse his enemies. He can also fly.

tod=have you ever wondered how many out of ten supers fly? better yet why flight is accompanied by so many other powers.

Where was Celcius keeping that thing? He aint got no pockets...

Ahh.... good question. Lets assume he has a pocket. I really do need to redesign Celcius' uniform. It is way impractical and very revealing (in a male way). He needs some better duds.

I must say that ID's pretty badass villain. Hope we see more of him sometime!

We'll continue to see him until the end of this at least. No plans past that but why not?

I really want to see him trash the fellow. You capture the desire to have just that one little snag hit in the story perfectly. I both really dislike the eldritch fellow, and have to respect adapting to the defeats. Here's to finding a villains approach to heroic problem solving.

Eggplantm In reply to DrunkenDragonDirge [2011-03-07 17:45:06 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! Well, I figure why can't the villains adapt a little too? That makes them all that more dangerous y'know? So often, the villains plans are so complicated that one snag will totally destroy everything so the hero is blatantly trying to exploit that weakness from the start.

One little correction; Id should be saying 'One of us' instead of 'one of you'.
That detail aside, great update.

Eggplantm In reply to Jose-Ramiro [2011-03-07 17:46:16 +0000 UTC]
No, I think it is right. When he refers to one of "you" he mean Saurus and his phantasm clone. Unless one of them dies, both will cease to exist but Id himself is independent of that relationship.

Ashkihyena In reply to Jose-Ramiro [2011-03-07 05:55:34 +0000 UTC]
I don't think so, he's talking about the clone and Saurus, he's not talking about himself and the clone.

I'm keeping Dark Saurus' form in the real world hidden for now but he's not the fluid shadowstuff he was in the Astral Plane

darthpaul99 In reply to Eggplantm [2011-03-08 14:53:28 +0000 UTC]
So, does that mean that he won't be all black and he's just kind of in shadow for now? Surely, you're just going to do some kind of darker color pallet swap kind of thing right?

Eggplantm In reply to darthpaul99 [2011-03-08 15:59:22 +0000 UTC]
Yes, he's hiding in shadow right now. He will be very similar to Saurus but he will look more like a dinosaur and more feral than Saurus. He'll still have the tattoos though.

Wow! A true dilema for our heroes. Save themselves or save their friends? LOVE the drama here, Egg!
Another excellent entry in this comic series!

Ashkihyena In reply to meanobeano [2011-03-07 00:46:46 +0000 UTC]
Well, Saurus has a reason to save them as well. If he saved himself, but him and the clone would cease to exist, so I think he's got a reason to go.

Okay, just don't dramatically break the phone! As awesome as that is, I doubt your friend would like it very much.

Eggplantm In reply to Ravensaurs-Rex [2011-03-07 17:49:08 +0000 UTC]
That would have been funny but I'm trying to move Saurus away from being such a jerk. That would be a juvenile thing to do. Borrow a phone, then crush it out of anger. I can see if it was your own phone but not someone else's who is trying to help you.
It was something I can almost see him doing though.

Ravensaurs-Rex In reply to Eggplantm [2011-03-07 19:36:09 +0000 UTC]
It's just a rather over-used stunt to show off the character's anger. I've seen it in tons of movies, books, comics and just about any other media there is.
And I wouldn't say he would do it out of malice as much as he just doesn't give that much of a damn about Sunspear to spare the phone if his anger targets it.
But then again that's how I'm looking at the character and I'm not the creator of him.

Also, if the location is stored on said phone, it would make it very hard to track down Id.

Ashkihyena [2011-03-06 22:39:31 +0000 UTC]
This turned out pretty great, and I love Sunspear and Saurus's expressions in the fourth panel. They're surprised big time, and I love Saurus in the last panel as well, he is not amused at all.
Also, I'm not sure if you noticed it, but there's a typo in ID's speech bubble, I think you meant to say he put up a brief fight when I think what you meant to say, he put up a brief fight, but other then that, it looks very good!
I still see the clone is dark at the moment, saving that until we get to the actual fight huh?
