that third panel of lady looking back at the phone she just gave to him, kind of amuses me, heh.
She’s just making sure it’s not following them, T-1000 style.
That was fun! Now do it with your iPhone!
No, Xan. Because of him.
This. Yes. What he said.
This, I too agree.
The guilt is pointless. Noble, conscientious, but logically and morally pointless and unnecessary.
Almost like people are emotional beings, instead of operating strictly on logic. Weird, right? :P
Which is, of course, why we should be assimilated into the Borg. It’ll clear all that right up.
The guy who physically killed them isn’t the sole cause of the chain of events that led to their deaths…
But then they were going to die sooner or later anyway, and the web of causality is broad and tangled.
I feel so sorry for Xan.
Feels slightly reminiscent of some of the tropes in the Sin City comics. Many of the cops in that setting are simple officers to be able to use their authority as a blunt instrument against others and are happy to take a bribe from criminals if it seems like the easy way out. But there are those who transcend this theme and achieve some truly heroic (if grim) acts.
Sadly, the latter tend not to last long.
It’s funny that the tallest person in the group sits in the seat that is least suited for tall people. Haha. I’m sure it’s also about the art composition. But it’s still funny.
The person on the hump always looks taller. However Xan had to be sitting by a window for this to work. If he were in the backseat he would have been on hump, not one of the gals.
Wait … he would not be humping one of the gals in the backseat??!
Oops. Now with my contacts in and 2 cups of java, I see the horror of posting first thing after a nap.
They might look taller with their knees higher, but she’s obviously also higher in the shoulders and head.
Proly cuz Xan called dibs on Shotgun
What about for Shanna? She was the trigger person. Killing in cold blood. Justified or not, that has to change your outlook on well….everything.
no kiddin.
There’s also the added fear that her mother’s mental health problems could be hereditary. Shanna shouldn’t feel bad about this since it was justified, but at the same time she might fear that feeling nothing might be some sign of sociopathy and this may lead to her losing her sanity.
I’ve never been in this kind of situation, but I do know some people that have taken lives (combat vets and a policeman). From speaking with them on it there aren’t really words to describe what you experience after doing so, justified or not. Being numb to it/not feeling anything can be a coping mechanism. That said, I like your insight into Shanna and hopefully we’ll see more regarding what you’ve said.
In a lot of cases, the person may feel numb initially, but once the current circumstances & the situation calm down, that’s when the emotions rise up…Sort of like being in a temporary state of shock.
That was hardly “cold blood”, in ANY sense.
But yes, even so, the usual response to a first killing of any sort is some kind of significant emotional difficulty.
Of-course it does, and it did, look at her in the last two pages, she’s hardly in the car with them until she asks her question. There’s a lot of rethinking going on there.
I can feel an axemas speshul coming any day
What’s the use of ditching the phone? All he needs to destroy is the SIM-card. The phone itself is perfectly reusable. Am I missing something?
If it’s a cheap phone, just as easy to toss the whole thing vs get a new SIM card. Why cheap per-paid phones you get at the gas station or cash checking place are called throw away phones in crime dramas.
Also visually illustrates the extremes they are going to stay off the grid, taking apart the phone is not as dramatic as throwing it out the window of a moving car.
Yes, as a visual statement it’s very effective. Still, the SIM-card will probably survive & contains information. That’s unlike Xan, it seems. Commenters frequently point out he’s not as smart as he thinks, though.
Are any of us as smart as we think we are? Besides me, of course.
…that was facetious, by the way.
If he does this after every call, the card only contains information from that call, which anyone investigating it would already have.
The thing is, phones only have the information you give them (or that is given to the phone by the company). If you use a fake name, address, etc., to sign up for it (as is common with burner/throwaway phones, I would imagine), there’s nowhere near as much ways to connect it to you if you abandon it. Someone might be able to use it as circumstantial evidence to connect whatever phone numbers it called to your actions (which isn’t beyond HR and crew’s know-how), but it’s not an immediate thing to set someone on your trail, either.
True enough, but it’s no excuse for littering.
He’s clearly not in his right mind atm.
It might have something to do with .
Correct me if i’m wrong but that would identify a user even if he switched a sim card.
I’m not sure what date this is set in, but the style of that phone looks a lot like some of the older, CDMA ones. In which case there is no SIM to remove.
Besides, the phone itself does often have an ID number of its own. It’s harder to trace since it’s not usually sent to the tower, but it can be done if someone is really after you.
No matter what, if he wants to not be hunted, he should have wiped his prints from the phone too.
They already know who he is (remember the knife to the hand? ) Now it’s all about staying two steps ahead of the next hired gun.
Could be a burner.
Ding ding ding.
It’s easy to judge from a fare.
That second panel is just unrealistic. That is a Nokia, they’re indestructible. (/sarcasm) (mischievous grin)
Right. He really should of used a Samsung Note 7. Then there wouldn’t be anything left! ;-)
No, there would be a hefty crater.
Damned pot holes!
They should have left that one for the killer to pick up. *Ring Ring* “Hello?” BOOM. No more chinese laundry.
So, what’s next? Exploding washing machines?

I fucking knew someone was going to say this haha
Thanks for these pages. It’s both a nice trope inversion and a much needed message.
…..I like Xan.
That is all.
But the most important question is, did Frigg win 50 rald or not? ;-)
The fuck, Xan. Don’t mess with the driver’s rear-view mirror. I use that more than I use my side mirrors.
They just got away from a killer, they don’t need to die in a car wreck!
I’ve been thinking about that last panel all day. It just seems really hamfisted and very on the nose. Xan must be very shaken is the only in-universe explanation for that imo
It seems fair to me. They feel like they sent two police officers to their death knowing full well the result. I’m not surprised Xan is romanticizing them somewhat. He must be feeling terrible about that.
Makes you think, hmm? Not everything is black and white in this…world….
…
Nothing is black and white in this world. Nothing but shades of brown.
Except HR’s eyes & tie…They’re purple.
Don’t forget the Tanknicolor Five. (Six, if you count HR)
