Seeker of Thrones 10-142
Chapter: 10
Pity the covetous, for their wealth will turn to dust;
Pity the unrighteous, for their words will not be heard;
Pity the wicked, for their deeds will turn into daggers and plunge into their own chests;
They shall be bound with fetters and crushed under the great stones of their own evil.
Pity the Dragon and Venerate the Count! IA!
A fall no one could possibly survive 😉
Is that kind of like ‘being eaten by a trap head which no one could possibly survive’?
And once again the majestical employment of background colour. No one else does it like this.
It’s a clever copper clown
that floats his pennies over town
the wealth don’t always trickle down
Hrmm… Is it just me, or does that anchor look a bit larger than when Princess Jack was wrangling it a few pages back? I wonder if another devil mighta grabbed onto it as it was falling overboard, maybe. Y’know, someone who fell over the side after taking a bullet to the arm. Would take some cat-like reflexes, I’m sure. >.>
OSCAR NOT DEAD
I need to know what happened to Cat Master, only his arms were grazed/hit.
Also, they were climbing up the port side of the ship, and yet these guys are dangling off starboard? Was it a second line they were climbing?
Sad Man
Obviously Oscar will be back, and badder than ever. You can count on this more than a pony for Christmas.
And if Oscar will be back, and he will be, this must mean his awesome pants are still going to be with us. Hallelujah, praise the pants!
But hark, be that teh cat demon I spy hanging on to that rope?
Did the cat demon survive? I believe that’s who we see hanging on the rope above our more friendly red.
(static) Headquarters! Send reforcements! Officer down!
And so our heroes* depart the impenetrable** vault of Yre, mission accomplished***.
*relatively speaking
**formerly
***they survived, mostly, so close enough
I think I know what’s happening. I counted Don Catmaster getting hit in the arm before he went overboard to fake his own death. Everybody knows cats always land on their feet. And if Oskar survives the fall, seeing Catmaster handling Lt. “Lucky” Felicia’s cosplay uniform might tip him off, along with a hint as to how she got on the ship before everyone else. Don Catmaster never talks. His lips are beyond sealed. Not gonna let Oskar talk either, especially since one of his repeaters full of silver bullets got a good headstart to Don Catmaster’s waiting paws.

He will come back.
Not with Don Catmaster waiting at the bottom ready to catch the 2nd repeater full of silver bullets, which got a nice head start on Oskar by the way. Don’t believe Don Catmaster made it? He was shot in the arm. Everybody knows cats land on their feet. And he can’t let Oskar see him holding Felicias’ hat. He’s a smart guy, he’s gonna put two & two together. That’s when he becomes a liability.
Lt. “Lucky” Felicia is prolly gonna be as tight lipped on this as her boss however, but even though he played it cool when the door bit off his best soldier’s arm, he played it cool, & checked her status, patching her up enough for her to get out of there & finish the doublecross they had planned.
Now onto the real important questions: Who’s side is Fleet Admiral Cabin Kitty even ON anyway? If Fleet Admiral Cabin Kitty turns out to be a Were-Cat like Felicia is, how are they gonna hide the cat whiskers without becoming a Were-Cat in a Hat? Will we see Fleet Admiral Cabin Kitty & Lt. “Lucky” Felicia pull a triple cross to off Don Catmaster & take over the entire #catmafia ? And as the most important question,, I will leave this for last: Will we figure out if Fleet Admiral Cabin Kitty is male or female upon transformation, or will things continue to remain quite visually ambiguous?
Oh Bad Man! My Bad Man! Our fearful trip’s near done;
The party’s weathered every trap, the prize they sought has flown;
Escape is near, the bells I hear, the party all exulting,
while follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel bright smoke trailing.
But O heart, heart, heart!
O the bleeding drops of red!
Where from the deck my Bad Man flies,
falling cold and dead?
I giggled gleefully.
That alt text. Goddamnit, Oscar isn’t dead, I know it.
Has anybody else noticed that Oscars eyes have gone completely white compared to their usual orange on the previous page? Somehow I doubt that’s a mistake by Abbadon.
The Bad Man is most unaerodynamic.
Much better now that he is the wiffle bad man.
He was Bad Company, until the day he died.
I am lost company, until the day I am found.
He’ll be fine.
#TeamOscar
Always annoying when someone you thought you murdered comes back and shoots you at an inconvenient moment.
Aw, I rather liked Oskar.
He was the baddest of mans. He will be missed. Probably.
in a comic jam-packed with epic, this scene is particularly awesome.
