Let’s see. Normally-safe capital cities overrun by hordes of hostile NPCs that corrupt PCs with debuffs, lots of faction leadership shakeups, frequent crashes and difficulty getting online, lots of shouting at corporate HQ and lots of confused speculation and anxiety about upcoming changes.
….. they’re about to go live on a new expansion. I can tell.
I hope that (Heaven forbid) the day Stan Lee is no longer with us that Disney (or whoever owns Marvel) decides that they will make an Easter Egg featuring Mr. Lee in EVERY Marvel movie from then on.
What’s the creature in the last panel? HR is the big eye with tentacles, but is this what happened when all the corrupted characters ate the doomsday weapon’s power source. It might explain why it looks a little like Taro.
Look at the lines that are supposed to represent a hair style. Kid was ambitious if not annoying, wouldn’t put it past him to want to be the very best corrupted he could be.
Answer to mouseover text?
You REALLY don’t want to know.
Heat is high, morale is low, the servers are down, the stakes are up. It’s Monday motherfucker.
“Situation excellent, I am attacking.”
Well, I think H. R. is going for : “The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire”…
Good old Ferdinand Foch
It certainly *looks* like a lot of people here about to get Foch’ed up real soon…

The post-apocalyptic Everyone-Versus-The-New-God-Of-Death expansion.
You have to pray to the RNG gods that your character still exists, though.
Nice cameo Phil. Lovin this strip.
I just realized that. Hey Phil, are you going to be the Stan Lee if your comics are like the marvel comic movies?

If they ever make a Marvel movie without some sort of Stan Lee cameo, Easter egg, or whatever, there will be massive boycotts.
He filmed cameos for several future movies before… before… :'(

last we saw Taro, he was tied up on the rail cannon over run by little flame faces. Taro + purple daemons + doomsday power = this thing??

Yeah, my IMMEDIATE thought on seeing it was “Ah, Taro has entered final form”
HR’s one eyed purple people eater vs Taro final form? Sweet! We may be getting a kaiju battle!
It’s certainly finding a lot of purple people to eat, isn’t it?
I can’t tell if the little corruption demons are sad or happy to be eaten.
So HR’s life goal was to be Digital Cthulhu?
It always happens. Reach the boss fight in a raid, sudden unscheduled server maintenance.
Panel 2: The creator.
Panel 4: The creator’s creator.
It’s creators all the way down!
Amazing! Can they make this any more meta? What’s the next level? Quote from an actual deity?
if your god doesn’t bitch about server downtime, you’ve got the wrong god
I just realized that they’re both drawn by John here… but on the other hand, T and Phil told John what to draw.
I guess that makes Phil his own grandfather?
so since we’re the readers of the comics, we’re the worshippers of this panethon?
Too real, alt text. Too real.
Panel 4 is the real tragedy of this webcomic.
Messy eating habits, that man.
Thing.
Whatever it is.
Wait. Is that Taro?
