    Bandit foresees berserking to be the hot new trend, now that she inherited that ability from brother Tom.

    So I guess Byron being all “I’m Byron the Berserker” without anyone raising an eyebrow is officially early installment weirdness?

        You gotta have a catchy nickname when you’re in the freelance adventurer field. Can’t put just “Byron” on your business cards.

        Have you seen Venture Bros? Minor character called The Cleaner? Hilarious.

    If one of my teammates was prone to going on berserk rages and killing everything around, I’d probably carry some anti-berserk serum as well. Safety first, and all that.

    I’m trying to remember why she’s carrying the serum. Did Byron giver her some “just in case”? I think so but I can’t recall exactly.

        Syr’nj gave each of the main characters some of the serum with the expectation that they themselves might be exposed to The Madness.

          Here’s a good question… Did she only give each person one vial? Because I have a feeling more will be needed—especially for Bandit.

            Well now we know that “the madness” is actually infection by…whatever those things are from Cyberia. And Byron is stuffed with hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of them.

              I’m not surprised. Viruses are the infection of the web, so why not the body as well?

    Hopefully they’ll have more than a full batch to work with should it be possible to save Byron from his fate. Otherwise… At least give him a proper death, the man more than deserves it.

    So Brother Tom gave up the ghost after his de-berserking here, right? I mean, his neck IS completely backwards, but does Syr’nj’s serum eliminate the scary Berserker-mites, or just make them dormant?

      Cause Berserkers you think you’ve already killed are definitely worse than first wave ones.

        Rule #2: The Double Tap

      That’s a really good question. Syr’nj’s formula has been described as ‘suppressing’ the Berskerker rage, not curing it,and we know now that Berserking seems to be a form of possession. It’s possible that the medicine actually destroys one Berserker spirit and that we haven’t noticed because Byron’s got a whole legion of them (hence his ability to spare one for Tom).

      Theory: the Madness is a simple connection between a Gastonia spirit and a Cyberia ‘demon,’ intended merely to wreak as much havoc in as short a time as possible. Upon the host body’s death, however, the demon becomes stranded and seeks another body to occupy. Therefore Byron, the last surviving member of Battleshire, inherited the collective Cyberia demons of the deceased possessed. Syr’nj’s medicine alters this scenario by killing or dispelling the demons, preventing Brother Tom’s from escaping in today’s comic.

      Thoughts?

        …If Byron has thousands of these things inside him that simulate/stimulate his berzerker rage, that means his natural berserker rage is one of these viruses too. So does that make Byron a glitchy character? Web connection drops and Byron suddenly starts auto attacking everything in sight, friend or foe…

    Well that was anti-climactic. You give me a zombie and instead of turning him in to bloody pulp you Euthanize him!

      I dunno why there’s such a tizzy over Euth-in-asia. They don’t seem to have more problems than the Euth-in-africa.

        I think the Euth-in-Gastonia is an even bigger problem at the moment.

    Hmmm….. anti berserker serum delivered by arrow.
    Then they can have a quarrel with the berserkers.

    …I stand corrected. I had hoped… err, thought that the serum wouldn’t work on them anymore after Homon’s speech to Byron. :/

      If that were so, then Homon wouldn’t have had to give Byron a “berserker-suppressor ANTIDOTE” shot in the neck just before his repossession.
      Heh. Byron’s a repo man.
