• SW10/WWW: Powernaut 2008 #24-27: The End!

    From Scott Eiler@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 31 22:35:59 2020
    That's right, we have come to the end of the Reality House 2008 series,
    the end of the story arc Powernaut 2005-2011, *and* the end of a major character in the series. I'm observing the occasion by releasing the
    last three 2008 strips (#s 24, 25, and 27) today.

    Fear not, though. New stories are coming, as soon as I'm ready to go
    backward in time to the 1990s - and even beyond. Happy New Era!

    Bonus Section: Commentary from Wyatt Ferguson! Aftermath

    We now know our master villain to be the Strategos, an ancient
    contemporary of the galactic warrior Zenobia. The Strategos secretly *sponsored* this Reality House TV show, and provided most of the
    excitement! He thereby made some money. I guess he really *is* strategic.

    Chas Speed, that lovable loser, did about one night of jail time. Then
    he got charged with public disorder, which was the most the Paris
    authorities could charge him with. He promptly skipped bail and left the country.

    Boom Chick and Hard Falcon were trapped within Capture cards for a
    while. The Strategos was eventually able to break them out of the cards
    - but then he was left with plain old playing cards. The power of those
    cards lies within Capture himself. He can use new cards any time he
    likes; he merely likes to play with a full deck.

    The soldiers presented a pathetic but inspiring spectacle. The
    hospitals were crowded with sick and wounded; the walls were
    gradually crumbling under incessant shell fire, yet that garrison
    of heroes remained undaunted.

    It was as Buck said, "just as if they had been Americans."
