My favorite page.

Amphieb:
What do I choose today? Hollow point? Armor-piercing? Anti-vehicle?

Alex:
I'm really happy we're not in a comic and don't have to explain to the reader in odd monologues:
“Well, Amphieb, verx clever with these weapons here, isn't it; I mean, no goon squad or villain thinks of neutralising the heroes in long-rage combat, no, eternally thay're drubbing like children!”
“Yeah, Komp, you're right, but you know, like, in the past, I think it was much more personal with the melee, ha-HA!”

Amphieb:
You know, comics shap, no, wait…
“But luckily we learned from the comics our self-image stems from and we abstracted all our tactics from. Luckily it's not printed anew in every issue in the exact wording again and again, no sir!”

Petra:
“Guys, I don't want to disappoint you, but we're mercenaries and no heroes.”

Alex:
While we're at it:
“Have you already unpicked all your abilities the most exat to the sheer invincible villain today so he knows what he's dealing with and can take custom-tailored measures?”

Amphieb:
“He can't, for he has to unpick all his abilities as well -”
There could be new readers who would be irritated elsewhere
“- und because the heroes – mercenaries – are faster, they beat him up.”
