Chapter 12 kicking off!
.
Not gonna lie - gonna be rough! As mentioned before, I went ahead and re-rated my comic to Mature, just in case…!
.
I've volunteered for extra work for the 2015 DD Awards - they really need some more volunteers folks, for judging and presentations. Please consider if you haven't joined in - it's this kind of stuff that really makes this a community…
.
Thanks for Reading Everyone!!

Ouch!!! Right in the eye! Why do I have the feeling he's going to squash the military like ants if he can still see them. "What?! You dare shoot me in the eye?! take that--SPLAT!" XO!!!

@Skyangel: hehe well... maybe my idea of what's really rough isn't as extreme as you are anyone else thinks is... So maybe it'll be a walk in the park instead of the roller coaster (which you personalized so well ;))... It's funny though, there were a forum entry last weeks talking about climaxes (of the story kind *snicker*), the point where the tension is the play/movie/story is the highest - I like to think we're right about there...! Although there maybe be bigger things, bigger reveals later, everything's been building to this!! Stay with me girl! :D

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! lol So now we are at the cusp of entering the mature zone? I thought I'd already been in it for the last 4 pages at least!;) I can handle it though. I bought a box set of EC Horror classics in my late teens and that conditioned me for anything!lol Now Eli's blind and they think they have him licked but your comment suggests we are at the top of the roller coaster and about to plunge down into a bundle of horror so I'm gripping that rail mighty tight and I'll be looking in with only one half opened eye next week! lol

@Bravo: hehe Sometimes... I think the Iraqi Invasion didn't turn out so well... On the other hand, Ghandi thought Passive Resistance would work against Hitler - but I think the Soviet's strategy worked a bit better ;)

@Paul: In movies and comics, not that often ;) Modern Pop-Culture isn't nice to the Military and Science, often portraying both as bad (I fear I've used those tropes a bit too)...

In the real world when the military is brought in is when things start going right. Armor rules oooo-rah and all that garbage.
PaulEberhardt at 1:15AM, Sept. 3, 2015
These guys aren't exactly helping, but when has the military ever been helpful for anything?
KimLuster at 4:00PM, Sept. 2, 2015
@ghosty: Tom Brady disagrees ;)

@Banes: Hey Biggs is like a cockroach - really hard to kill!! And I do sorta see this all occurring before his appearance in your story (assuming we're really sharing universes ;))
KimLuster at 3:57PM, Sept. 2, 2015
@tupapayon: Well... Maybe...!!
KimLuster at 3:56PM, Sept. 2, 2015
@bravo: Yah, I've read that most fighter aircraft combats occurs miles apart (often the pilots can't even see each other) but following those RL rules would've made the Top-Gun movie suck!!! Still, I do like to at least give a nod to real physics, and with real physics a humanoid the size Eli is right now wouldn't even be able to stand (for any physical object, when doubling in height, and if all dimensions are maintained, then weight increases 8-fold!), so either I'm already totally ignoring physics or there's something else going on... and what that something else might be is hinted at on page 229! It'll be explored more as the story progresses... Still, like I've told you before, I hope you never stop pointing this stuff out - I really want to be made to think about such, because god knows I don't know it all ;)

@El Cid: I think I would were I in his... skin!!
ghostrunner at 12:56PM, Sept. 2, 2015
the end of the inflate a date era T_T
Banes at 11:14AM, Sept. 2, 2015
Wow - Eli looks truly nightmarish now. It seems clear that he was trying to communicate, and like El Cid said, my guess is that he wants to die. Could be wrong. The actions of the military guys makes sense, though. Hey, it's Biggs! Glad he survived ;)
tupapayon at 6:46AM, Sept. 2, 2015
I still have the feeling that the "only I can kill him" trope is about to kick in soon… could be wrong…
bravo1102 at 6:09AM, Sept. 2, 2015
This is the difference between movies comics and the like and reality. In the real world we'do deploy the tanks about a kilometer away and fire away at our leisure. No way Eli could reach out and touch us. Not unless he had played football or something. But I doubt he could throw a rock fast enough to penetrate tank armor. 3000 feet per second? But this like any story requires a suspension of disbelief.
El Cid at 6:02AM, Sept. 2, 2015
Ya think at this point maybe Eli just wants to die?
KimLuster at 4:24AM, Sept. 2, 2015
@bravo: I've actually seen some ' Attack on Titan' short videos while researching images - maybe I need to read it before finishing this :D ...as for the Stinger - I'd kinda imagined that Eli had already wrecked all the heavier vehicle based weapons in the off-screen fight (the one that made his guts hang out and mangled half his face), even the tanks!! (and I'll eventually touch on why Kimber Lee could hurt him with a metal spike but tank rounds failed to rip him apart... Maybe it'll make sense in a sci-fi sort of way) And thanks very much about panel 3 - I looked in a mirror and made the face haha... I do that alot!!
KimLuster at 4:14AM, Sept. 2, 2015
@plymayer: Just maybe so, on your posts!
KimLuster at 4:13AM, Sept. 2, 2015
@napalm: Thank You - and really glad to have you aboard :D
KimLuster at 4:13AM, Sept. 2, 2015
@Peipei: Maybe... Unless... unless he was trying to talk to her ;)
bravo1102 at 3:39AM, Sept. 2, 2015
And panel 3 is fantastic. Best yelling face closeup I've seen in a long time. You really caught the contortions the face goes through with that expression.
bravo1102 at 3:37AM, Sept. 2, 2015
She was in the King Kong/Fay Wray pose so she was probably gonna be lunch or a stress ball. (squeeeze) Why do I have the feeling Gthaaa Gtheeee in big monster talk translates into "Help me"? You should watch Attack on Titan after you finish this. Give you a new view on little people versus big human monsters. A Stinger? Really? That's the best they could manage? No TOW's or M109A6 Paladins? Along with all the competent soldiers the heavy stuff is in Afghanistan huh? ;-)
plymayer at 9:07PM, Sept. 1, 2015
And of course we have the obligatory antagonistic jerk wad coming to the rescue (NOT).
plymayer at 9:04PM, Sept. 1, 2015
Rut roe Shaggy. A moment of compassion from BOTH of them?
