Wars take people. You gotta have an army to fight a War. And when you're dealing with a Interplanetary War where entire planets are in play... well, you're gonna need some serious army action. Whereas Mango-Habenero over in SDF are a Guerrilla Force wrecking havoc at Ground Zero, HFSAC is about the greater war, so it has a bigger scope. Anyway, I've been running a little long on the blog lately, and I'm tired while I write this, so I'll make this a little quicker than usual.
The OmniMonks are the Spiritual Warriors of the Omni-Army. Besides the fact that they're Monks, they're kickin' Kung fu guys. They're the close range fighters and healers.
The Waterbearers first popped up in HFSAC #8. They're the Full Fledged Military Branch of the Omni-Army. They're also Espionage and Intelligence. They're led by Proteus Platypus, arguably one of the most intelligent beings in all of reality. You might also notice PlatOmega and Platageddon in the shot. It was mentioned in HFSAC 24 that they remained with the Waterbearers, although they could be considered Reserve Members of HFSAC as well. Fun Fact: Tei Harlequin is a former member of the Waterbearers.
The Order of the Eye is a formerly secret society led by Darkwatcher (Old Stick in the Mud). They're sort of in between the OmniMonks and the Waterbearers. I call them Philosopher Warriors. Fun Fact: Shiv is a former member of the Order of the Eye.
Let's see what Boolah's got for us today...
Kinetic action with SDF vs Ortex!
Not really. One of the things I love about Frank Quitely's artwork is his one panel fight scenes. I tried that in a splash panel in Bad Rapture but failed it horribly here. Getting the double punch from Secret Soldier was a bit crazy to draw too.
When I went to 24 hour comic book day I brought myself a whole slew of stuff, including supplies and old Torc books. I believe one of Joseph's older 24 hour books had Death Moth defeating a baddie with a sixth dimension shot. Without his shield he may have to use this attack method more often so in the last panel he is revving up for it.
Plus, there's a Regular show nod from the Bear episode in panel 2 where the Ortex baddie is getting smashed by the Chupacabra.
Cawmix!
