Now to use the entire Internet as a distributed super-computer to augment the on-board computer slowing being eaten by the space squid. You may notice some network performance issues for the next few hours as things are worked out.
Because, in this universe not having powers disqualifies you. Also, he’s a wanted vigilante in 33 states and has multiple illegal identities because they don’t pay taxes.
There’s a strange sort of calm that you get when things get very busy; it’s a kind of “work now, panic later” mode. The Revenant is probably in that mode all the time. He doesn’t need a team, he’s a team all by himself.
I really do like this page. Up until now, i’d been getting a little tired of Cecil – he’d been becoming too much of an unstoppable know-it-all. Seeing him have a crisis of self-confidence and needing reassurance does a lot to humanize the character.
Actually, I think the Revenant’s remarks in panel 2 are a good indicator of why he isn’t on a team. Most adults will EVENTUALLY notice the behavior he just recommended to Cecil; and then they don’t want to play with you anymore!
That depends. If you do it WELL, said other adults will realize that with your help and management they are doing better with less efforts than they would alone..hence team. This is more or less what I have to do every day at work (though, admittedly, my current ICBM is the Affordable Care Act).
The hard part comes in doing all that management stuff while appeasing those that boss you around. The Revenant’s solution of not having a boss looks really appealing…
Well, I guess it’s Cecil’s time to shine brilliantly or explode brilliantly.
Could be the Revenant’s time to explode brilliantly.
Nah, the Revenant will pull a Captain America, and show up in an ice block in 30-70 years.
And then he’ll time-travel his way back to the past. XD
Oh, I don’t see that the two have to be exclusive…
Aaaand… Cecil just got played by the Revenant the exact same way he was told to play the others 🙂

Man the Revenant once again shows himself to be a great role-model….how is he not apart of one the bigtime hero teams?

People slow him down.
Scene needs some Aerosmith.

So last comic I was thinking, ‘Busy?!?!? This is the guy who takes calls while dodging bullets, what on earth could make him BUSY?!?!
I must say clinging one-handed to a live ICBM several miles above the earth — this qualifies.
It feels like that’s Zodon’s speech balloon (“MALLARD!”) – but I remember Cecil talking only to Captain Clarinet and Moon Shadow.
The ship also tapped into the radio wave between the two dimensions a couple pages ago.
