I know lots of you hoped, with the preceding cliffhangers, that Kimber Lee would somehow find a way to turn the tide, but no… this mega, long-lasting battle is finally over… And Kimber Lee suffered badly (I'll leave the nature and extent of her injuries to your imagination)…
.
But the story is far from over!
.
Why in the world did Eli lose Kimber Lee? Seems like she'd be the thing he'd hang on to at all cost! But he didn't (couldn't?) and there is a reason…
.
And the military arrives just OUT of nick of time!! Avenger Drones!! Piloted aircraft may have been a better choice but in my research these drones just looked too cool not to use! And since no military has ever had to actually fight an indestructable giant, none of us can really say what the best tactic is (maybe the Tac Nuke our drone pilot mentioned…)
.
Kimber Lee is down, but she ain't out! Please stick with me!
.
Thanks for Reading Everyone!

You're saving the tac nukes until he's *closer* to a population centre? o_O Yup, seems like a plan...

yes, that blir effect is awesome !

Thanks Skyangel - that's exactly the effect I was going for! :)

Interesting use of focal range in panels 5 and 6, that's very relatable to watching a movie where the camera pulls in and out depending whose talking.

@Paul: Thank You!! I did a fair amount of reading on drones while doing this scene! I think the consensus is that piloted aircraft would've been better (I had to extrapolate it all for this situation...) but many also think that it won't too far into the future when drones are better at Everything, and will have much more autonomy!! That is very cool!! And very scary!!

Wow! What a fight! Plus, I know now what these drones look like - I didn't before, just heard of them on the news on occasion. I don't think Kimber thought at any point she'd get out of this unscathed (and perhaps that too might have something to do with the state she's in), but she certainly wishes she'd been wrong. I wonder how they intend to stop Eli. Somehow I don't think even a nuke would work; none of that violent stuff seems to.

@Peipei: hope I have a surprise or two left ;)
KimLuster at 5:03AM, Nov. 3, 2015
@darkace: Thanks! and story ain't over!
KimLuster at 5:03AM, Nov. 3, 2015
@El Cid: Yes I have... but I think I'm up for it ;)
Peipei at 5:01AM, Nov. 3, 2015
Can this situation really be turned around? Excellent page as always. :)
darkace at 2:08AM, Nov. 3, 2015
Nice layouts! Poor Kimber Lee!
El Cid at 7:28PM, Nov. 2, 2015
All that insanity just to come to a draw?! You've set the bar high for the final confrontation.
KimLuster at 5:43PM, Nov. 2, 2015
@Whirlwynd: Yeah... it's bad!! Thanks!!
KimLuster at 5:43PM, Nov. 2, 2015
@ghosty: Nope...!
KimLuster at 5:43PM, Nov. 2, 2015
@FC n' Bravo: Ha, okay I'll have the page re-do up tomorrow... yah right!
Whirlwynd at 4:36PM, Nov. 2, 2015
Kimber Lee nooooo D= I like how the airplanes are drawn!
ghostrunner at 2:42PM, Nov. 2, 2015
nope, not quite :)

I don't follow Fantastic Four either, but good on her! @bravo1102: the military should have used F-35s. Finally, those 1.1 trillion dollar procurement costs could have been put to good use! ;)
bravo1102 at 8:14AM, Nov. 2, 2015
The rumors of decommissioning the A-10 are greatly exaggerated. Then you could have used one of the most estheticly pleasing planes in the sky the F-15 Strike Eagle.

I'm really haunting my board today...!
KimLuster at 8:00AM, Nov. 2, 2015
@FC: That will certainly come up - and I purposefully have them use the word 'girl' on occasion. Sometimes it has to be forced on others (after you've overcame and became it yourself). I don't follow Fantastic Four comics but I did read about Invisible Girl didn't become Invisible Woman until she decided to and didn't give others a choice...!!
KimLuster at 7:57AM, Nov. 2, 2015
@Banes: Thanks! And well... stay tuned! ;)
fallopiancrusader at 7:31AM, Nov. 2, 2015
Let's hope the Godstrain hasn't left Kimber, because she sure looks like she can use its healing powers right about now. Funny how Kimber is more powerful than any of those soldiers, but they still refer to her as a "girl"
Banes at 7:08AM, Nov. 2, 2015
Nice "rack focus" effect there(I think that's what it's called)! Really good looking planes, too. In my limited drawing experience, I found a plane to be one of the harder things to do. This edit caught me off guard! The big question here (assuming she's alive) is did she manage to keep the Godstrain from going to Eli? Stay tuned! Oh, wait...stay tuned would be your line.
KimLuster at 7:05AM, Nov. 2, 2015
And I'm haunting my own boards this morning :D
