Frigg’s mace is facing the aberration in the final panel. Can’t quite make out which piece of her is which for the rest, but assuming she hasn’t moved from when she kicked HAMMERHEAD, relative to that scene he went somewhere between off-panel-right and directly toward the viewer. Not toward the bit blight at all, so I’m sure he’s fine.
Am I the only one hoping this leads to a Champion/Peacemakers alliance where they try to end the shitty war and get Gastonia to treat the savage races as fellow sapient beings and the savage races to stop trying to kill Gastonia because Gastonia doesn’t want to?
Absolutely you are the only one but I really enjoyed considering your theory before I rejected the possibility. Angry eyes (I mean EYE) is really pissed at Frigg huh? Penk better hurry up with that drum solo.
Battlegrounds are always available, lore-wise either re-enactments or local flare-ups of the Cold War. But no, PvP has to be pressed into everyone’s faces, right?
Oh yeah. PvP must be observed, lest you be be labeled the dreaded “casual”!
Sarcasm aside, I’ve never been one for PvP. I play games like these to work with people, not fight them.
I thought the oh-no-PvP crowd was called “carebears”? Though I guess ‘casuals’ would also dislike PvP since competing with other humans requires a lot of dedication if one wishes to stand a chance against those who do little else. Which is the main reason why I don’t usually like PvP. I love freedom, and being forced to focus on ‘preparing for war’ isn’t as fun as doing whatever else I might want to do.
Nah, meng, look close – her feet are pointed away from Shoggoman. (Her head’s under Glowhammer there.) Hammerhead’s done a flying exit, stage left out of harm’s way… for now.
It’s possible but wouldn’t be much of a twist, and I feel they’re building up to some sort of a twist here. “Oh no, the shark fell into the shoggoth! Tune in next week to find out that… yes, turns out he’s really dead.”
But if we get “Nope, turns out what is HAMMERHEAD may never die, but rises again hungrier and stronger and with glowy shit…” It would be more interesting than killing off a character before we even got to know him.
[Spoilers from next day]
You’re right about the more interesting part. But the “not much of a twist” argument has proven wrong more often than not. GA has proven not as twisty as many of the readers always imagine. (Which is something I like because when there IS a twist it’s really striking.) About the being-presented-to-us-in-a-very-likeable-way-almost-meaning-to-wear-a-redshirt-argument: Seems they go more a being-presented-to-us-in-a-loving-partnership-means-to-wear-a-redshirt-way. Poor, brave Rachel…
Are we even sure that Land Sharks can see the beast? Perhaps as a shark analogue with a weird hive mind thing, they’re only capable of seeing things that can be classified as prey, which digital monsters from another universe are not.
Hey what is they took this opportunity to kill Frig hmmmm? I mean she has been in worse situations, but, it would totally catch us off guard, and much tears would ensue. Though ofc then they risk us hunting them down to avenge Frig after making us love her foreverrrrrrrr.
Hmm, in the previous page, her feet were toward the giant green world-eating abomination. In this last panel she seems to have her glowy mace end toward the giant green world-eating abomination. The difference is rather important, as Sharkboy was kicked in the direction of her feet, which is either into the giant green world-eating abomination (as indicated by the last page) or away from it (as indicated in this page).
And I’m honestly not clear on which is the intention here.
Yes, Magda’s wearing her cheerleading outfit + leotard that she wore to root for the South Savasi Runtgrunts when they played axeball, back in not-so-high school.
HAMMERHEAD is such a coward, going after unsavory sorts helping his team instead of the monster that he saw first hand destroy his own people. As Penk noted, even the ‘mindless’ landsharks are smart enough to recognize that they shouldn’t eat their allies.
Oh good, Fr’nj did the smart thing instead of the self-sacrificing thing everybody else thought she would do.
I wonder where Hammerhead went. Besides “away”.
Frigg “jumped” the shark.
In rebel territory, the shark jumps you.
I believe that was a successful attempt to launch (the shark).
Huston , We have archived liftoff
First he went airborne, then down the drain.
Yes, good on Fr’nj to call up some the-vine intervention.
+1

Wait… unless she’s supposed to be behind it relative to Fr’nj and Magda. Then maybe.
Okay… it’s time for GLOWY HAMMER SHIT to put a serious hurt on Digitron!
By the way it gets increasingly red toward the last panel I’m seconding that and crossing my fingers for a GLOWY HAMMER SHIT LIMIT BREAK!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTSSSSS OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!
See, I took that as she was running out of juice. Glowy Hammershit juice. But, hey, maybe!
“Frigg uses limit breaker: Smite-launcher!”
Am I the only one hoping this leads to a Champion/Peacemakers alliance where they try to end the shitty war and get Gastonia to treat the savage races as fellow sapient beings and the savage races to stop trying to kill Gastonia because Gastonia doesn’t want to?
Go play Warcraft 3, for serious.
Yes, probably

No more PVP ? Hmmm…no, not an option. Because, boring. No offence meant.

I’m sensing a late, dramatic, heroic appearance of (drumroll…….) drumtroll.
Time for rock AND roll…
more like rockin’ troll.
Did… did… did Frigg just ice the shark by flinging him into The Thing What Lurked In The Digits?
Wondering that too, the Digimon might even become supercharged after absorbing a “hero character”.
You underestimate her. She’d fling him OVER TTWLITD.
Nah, meng, look close – her feet are pointed away from Shoggoman. (Her head’s under Glowhammer there.) Hammerhead’s done a flying exit, stage left out of harm’s way… for now.
Actually never mind. I need glasses.
The alt text suggests that, but I assume we’ll see HAMMERHEAD in the next episode even if it’s just while he’s getting de-rezzed.
But if he was pushed into the thing, he’ll probably prove to be as inedible as Frigg was, armored in his own version of glowy HAMMER shit.
Nope. My money (figuratively) is on de-rezzing. That would fit to him being presented to us in a very likeable way. Before he charged Frigg.
It’s possible but wouldn’t be much of a twist, and I feel they’re building up to some sort of a twist here. “Oh no, the shark fell into the shoggoth! Tune in next week to find out that… yes, turns out he’s really dead.”

All true. Nice knowing you, Rachel.
MY money de-rezzes through my pocket.
I think he’s the black motion lines in front of Magda’s rock wall? Like hes just slammed and cratered into the ground there.
Are we even sure that Land Sharks can see the beast? Perhaps as a shark analogue with a weird hive mind thing, they’re only capable of seeing things that can be classified as prey, which digital monsters from another universe are not.
I mean how would you even eat this thing?
That’s really odd… for a moment there it almost sound like you implied that HAMMERHEAD CANNOT EAT EVERYTHING!!!
Well, not all at once. He’s a Land Shark, not a Snake Person. Those guys can unhinge their jaws. I once saw one swallow a rhinotaur whole!
(On hotel pay-per-view)
(Or one of those really crappy SciFi channel originals)
He did throw a rock at it, so I’m going to say his eyes work just fine.
Monsters like “Awh HELL naw! Don’t tell me she learned how to shoot with that thang…”
So far, nothing really works on Mr. Tentacle. One can only hope he dies of fish poisoning soon.
Hey what is they took this opportunity to kill Frig hmmmm? I mean she has been in worse situations, but, it would totally catch us off guard, and much tears would ensue. Though ofc then they risk us hunting them down to avenge Frig after making us love her foreverrrrrrrr.
Though ofc that would leave Glowy Hammer Shit unexplained, but maybe it would be carried over to sepia world :DDDDDDDDDDDD for coolness
I would not trust her to stay dead, anyway.
Digitron – “OMG Frigg are you Ok?”
(deletes Shark, rocks, and things)
“Oh god its happening again!”

FALCO PAUNCH!!!
My thoughts:
I see that Magda’s dressed for the occasion.
I wonder if Glowy Hammershit protects against bad breath?
There’s… a distinct lack of flying HAMMERHEAD in the last panel.
If he goes out after pulling this stupid shit, I will be so disappointed in him.
Yes, Magda’s wearing her cheerleading outfit + leotard that she wore to root for the South Savasi Runtgrunts when they played axeball, back in not-so-high school.

Wooo Hooo!
Panel 2, Magda’s giving us a lifted-skirt shot!
+1 for fan service!
