        I started to type “How deep is your cut?”
        But except for that one change , the rest of the lyrics fit in a really creepy way.

            you can tell by his head hangs off he’s a cultist man with no time to talk.

          I was trying to fit Billy Joel into it, like “all that he’ll do is throw daggers at you but he’s always a cultist to me”

    Hmm, so will Syr’Nj’s medicine work? This could be how they defeat the madness, thanks to her careful work with Byron.

      They are going to need a lot more injectors.

      Bro. Tom looks so distraught with getting that shot … is he an anti-vaxxer?

        It’d make sense, he’s pretty anti-death. What better then to deny what will possibly help him and save everyone around him from suffering what he’s suffering?

          I find the crazies in the ranks of those who refuse to vaccinate, reason enough to get the shot. Brother Tom makes me want to get a second dose.

    Bandit just got flashbacks to Byrozerker in Arena d’ Harkey.

      That reminds me, did we ever learn how she survived or came back to life after that? Obviously the player would have just respawned, but how in-universe?

        Good thought! She’s the only regenerated player that doesn’t have a clear story of it – i.e., no mystical resurrection like the “tubers”. Which begs another question. Could Rachel come back the same way Bandit did? (biggmac said, false-hopingly)

          I think we can guarantee Rachel’s not coming back, since the pixel monster apparently managed to completely delete her character from the game files. The best we can hope for is some sort of ghost echo or Cyberia copy. Bandit would have been killed in semi-normal PvP combat against Byron, and presumably all the normal players who’ve gotten killed in PvP (or PvE for that matter) haven’t had any trouble respawning. I have no idea how/whether the “real” Arkerra accounts for that – the hints we’ve been given about the “realism” centering around the five tube residents suggests it doesn’t bother.

        The most we got was some vague story on how Byron slashing her with Harky’s blood on his axes gave her some sort of minor regeneration, enough that she held onto life but was assumed dead and simply snuck out when no one was looking.

    Dude…. I am rarely that impressed by comic monsters/villains, but Brother Tom is kind of freaky, ‘specially popping out from behind the ring last page. KILL IT WITH FIRE!

    Also: Stab him again, Bandit, I don’t think he got the point. ;D

      Possibly? Homon seemed pretty sure that he had taken SyrN’j’s concoction into account and that it wouldn’t work anymore, at least not on Byron. Perhaps it will still have an effect on lesser ‘Zerkers like Tom here who were spawned from Byron, but I’d not be surprised if it proved useless.

        That’s because Homon had a counter serum. I doubt Brother Tom has taken it.

    So the horrible electric hate’zoids will be shoved out of Brother Tom and have to flee into …. Rabbit?
    I really hope not.

    Also, way to remember the last time you got super dead.

      Hopefully the ‘zoid will just die. No ‘zoid leaped out of Byron when he received the injections from Syr’Nj.

      Of course, Brother Tom will also probably die from having a seriously fatal kink in his neck. But hey, that’s sorta what he’s hoping for anyway.

    My kudos to John for that last panel. I think he did a great job of showing shock with only subtle changes. And upside down too.
