And Felecia walked away with some phat stacks. She’s down one arm, of course, so it evens out. Though depending on the tech level available, she might be able to afford a replacement.
Looks like the gold with come in…HANDY after all! *Double Finger Pistols*
Unfortunate that Felicia won’t be sticking out. Then again, cats have always come and gone as they please. They also tend to know how to save their own hides. Given the adventure to come, not an unwise move.
The sad thing is, they’ve achieved basically nothing at all. They did not find Naid, and the tower would have blown up whether they went there or not. Allison got superpowers, lost them, and is now in the same state she was in after the Mottom debacle.
Ah, alas, the Cat Man lives to see another day, as well as his felid friend! I am glad the Green Devil lives as well, as he was not of harm. Though, the question remains… Where is the most beautiful, the most gorgeous, the strongest of Red Devils? Where is Princess Jack Moonshine? Has she been thrown overboard? She was not injured. I sincerely hope she is simply loitering with White Chain… However, if she does not come back, perhaps I will simply cry and weep and moan for the rest of my days…
Two bodies missing, surely they won’t turn up at the most inconvenient times. Oh who am I kidding, missing bodies never have the courtesy to wait for convenient times to show up.
The shepherds continue to draw breath. We have observed this and are pleased. Wise would they be to return to their flocks in peace – though certainly such peace is relative.
It would be best for all involved if they were to never again cross paths, but as the order of the universe unravels, such predictions become moot. Regardless, We remain committed to observing what may come.
Oscar, being as sly as he is, most certainly continues taking his fashionably accursed breathes.
I do, however, doubt the two missing will be of much trouble beyond spreading possibly important information of our king??? Why would they risk their lives when all the wealth imaginable is under their feet? It’d be a fools errand, in an opinion as small as mine.
Felicia most definitely deserves the wealth she acquired however. I too doubt she’ll be anything beyond a bitter acquaintance to our king and crew (well, Cio as she never met the others)
47 Names of Honor and Fame Forgotten (the names, not the honor and fame) (well, the honor and fame belonged to the names, so it's the same thing)
KITTY! Yay! for the cat!
And the Cat Master and Charon. I am glad are alive, if not entirely well. But I hope this is not the last we see of them?
And Lucky Felicia. I had hoped we would see more of her, but I don’t know how that would have worked, what with her having as much reason to kill Cio as Oscar.
Given that no one has ever pulled a successful heist on Yre, I’d say it succeeded beyond any reasonable expectation. Half the team escaped alive, and the bank is currently disgorging its contents with abandon. At least one of the team even made off with some of that gold, and more could easily be obtained.
Secondmost sucessful. The most successful still belongs to the guy off in yorkshire that managed to knock over three banks in a row using nothing but a flaming banana.
How in the… How in the Hell is Felicia able to rob all that loot? I mean, there was a damn ANGEL on the ship, and that’s a lot of loot to just be able to pack up and roll off with.
There was no reason for anyone to try to stop her from taking it. There are rivers of gold spreading across land. If they want gold they just need to get down and take it. Also I’m pretty sure that gold is going to be worth shit, economy is going to get hit by this fuckton of gold literally flooding the market.
You assume 82 White Chain tried to stop Felecia? Because I’m pretty sure our angel does not give one fuck. Why should she? She has no need for money – not that it won’t be easy to obtain anyway – and there are more important matters.
Given that the streets are literally flooded with gold, why bother to stop her? One can regain as much and more by lowering a bucket into the golden stream.
Hey Felicia, like I know you just want your money and all, and probably get away from the fuckers who hurled you into a damn screaming mouth, but given all the blood you’re dragging behind…do you want to maybe just get them to drop you off somewhere? I mean, it’s not like any of that gold is gonna do you much good in the long run.
I knew that cat guy survived, given that he blocked some of Oscars bullets with his arms, but I’m surprised mister goldie cape pulled through given the body shots he took. I suppose that cape isn’t as decorative as it first seems.
Abbadon has mentioned on his blog that pale devil liquor causes rapid bodily regeneration, with side effects including the regrowth of limbs you may not have actually lost. I wouldn’t be surprised if Charon had access to some stewed-up pale devil.
Mastermind and Bruiser. And a cat that is the master of all (of course; it is a cat). May they fare well and never need to cross paths with Heroes, Kings, Gods, or other variants of Royalty.
You say that Charon is greedy as if it were not the highest of virtues. I find him to be a respectable, if imperfect, example of the ideal of maximum profit with minimal effort. Cat Master as well is a figure I admire, for the cat is one of the most fickle and cunning creatures in all 777,777 worlds, and to gain the respect and love of such creatures shows impeccable character.
Ok, cat is fine. Cat Master a bit the worse for wear, but will be fine too.
Oscar is undoubtedly nursing a very large grudge somewhere. And there’s the other big red, Oscar’s “grandfather”, who apparently got left behind in the war. I suspect he won’t be happy either. This could lead to an interesting family reunion.
On the one hand, I have a hard time begrudging Lucky Felicia much because she got pretty fucked over by this adventure (The fact she’s lucky to even be alive notwithstanding, she’s LUCKY Felicia after all).
But part of me wishes she’d stuck around a little. At least to clean up and convalesce a bit.
108 Reaver Full Of Heresy Who Defies The Will of Fate
And Lo! Brother Maxwell! Did he finally ascend. Both the pit o’ gold and the ranks above his ken. Of his home, his God, his Vault, did he find naught but devastation. More gold had leaked out than ever once before, and the Count was so far off now that none could know its score. But there was still one job to do, nay, the only one he could. Brother Maxwell began to count the Bodies, as only a cleaner should. And as he began to Count, his own would dare to rise.For not all that he would find were dead, but as he tried to save them, his rank would rise instead. And so, Brother Maxwell, formerly of the lowest order, did find himself a higher status, as one who knew the Vault’s border. For there were always new acolytes, and for once, many places for them. And that, dear Listener, is the story of how
A Brother named Maxwell had honor found. For he had traversed a long, long way, and the Vault was very deep.
Anyone who’s studied basic economics knows that injecting a large amount of money into the economy like this (I mean relatively rapidly, not from blowing up buildings) tends to lead to rapid inflation and de-stabilize economic systems.
Just want you want in a city that’s descending into war and chaos, right?
Felicia’s gonna need all that gold and more besides to find a body shop somewhere in the multiverse that can either: graft her a new cloned arm, re-grow it, go cyber, or attach a Superior Arm acquired from beast or bot.
The “Lucky One” needs time to heal up and hide out from the developing conflagration. I do hope she will re-appear one day ! |
As for Oscar – if he be not dead – then he’s buried under a mountain of Dragon Guilder coin. What does it take to kill these devils anyway ?
Is it -that like the angels – their forms can be destroyed – and their spirits dispersed – but they will eventually re-form ?
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this,
like you wrote the book in it or something. I
think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this
is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.
Kitteh Lives!
KITTEH LIVES!
PITTY THE DRAGON! VENERATE THE KITTEH!
I believe I speak for many here when I say: Cat!
Cat.
So relieved that all three of our cats survived
Kitty has been reunited with it’s caretaker, and all is right with the world.
Oh, and Charon’s OK, I suppose that’s good too.
And Felecia walked away with some phat stacks. She’s down one arm, of course, so it evens out. Though depending on the tech level available, she might be able to afford a replacement.
Looks like the gold with come in…HANDY after all! *Double Finger Pistols*
I REGRET NOTHING.
Yay! Cat demon and skeleton money deathclaw made it!
Was hoping Felicia would stick around though. Ah well.
Hell yeah, Felicia is alive and kinda well, so is the cat demon. This heist was so good
Well, I for one am happy that Cat-boi and Snake-man are a nice unit.
The strongest and the weakest survived. Nobody is surprised.
Wakened cadavers at night
haven’t slept ‘cos things are shite
or they’re on an early flight
Unfortunate that Felicia won’t be sticking out. Then again, cats have always come and gone as they please. They also tend to know how to save their own hides. Given the adventure to come, not an unwise move.
Tag yourself I’m the blue bird just sort of chilling
Can somebody pick up that phone? Cause I fucking called it Catmaster and Charon weren’t dead :V
Ah, I see you are also a person of culture, judging from that choice pun. Nice.
The sad thing is, they’ve achieved basically nothing at all. They did not find Naid, and the tower would have blown up whether they went there or not. Allison got superpowers, lost them, and is now in the same state she was in after the Mottom debacle.
The scales have not yet fallen from your eyes. The Journey is more important than the Destination.
This Journey was most fruitful.
Yes all the cats lived im happy
Ah, alas, the Cat Man lives to see another day, as well as his felid friend! I am glad the Green Devil lives as well, as he was not of harm. Though, the question remains… Where is the most beautiful, the most gorgeous, the strongest of Red Devils? Where is Princess Jack Moonshine? Has she been thrown overboard? She was not injured.

Ciocie should’ve read Homestuck. She would’ve known that it’s important to never turn your back to a corpse.
As an aside, I think Aradia Megido would love it in this comic. Every day is a Corpse Party, with Allison’s crew.
Delightful. Should be wary if encountered again, but their need for revenge should prioritize Oscar long before Allison.
Master o’ cats, master o’ lives,
Master o’ landing on 4 feet survives.
They went missing you say? Is there any way you can find them? Is there any way you can find me?
Cats always land on their feet
Joke’s on Felicia; what with the ensuing inflation, she might as well be hauling a cartful of bolivares.
But they are HER bolivares. They have sentimental value.
thank you for letting the cat have his dad back.
Felicia: You fed me to a door, and I still came back to save your asses.
You owe me at least this much.
Capiche?
To be fair, it was Oscar who did the feeding, unilaterally. And Felecia already paid him back with a bullet.
Oscar, being as sly as he is, most certainly continues taking his fashionably accursed breathes.
I do, however, doubt the two missing will be of much trouble beyond spreading possibly important information of our king??? Why would they risk their lives when all the wealth imaginable is under their feet? It’d be a fools errand, in an opinion as small as mine.

Cat Master LIVES! As does his cat. That’s all that matters.
cats. finnicky little things
cat master……. :’)
The cat always comes back.
You have seen behind Charon’s facade, I have been a cat all along, yes indeed!
There are piles of gold that large that far out?! I’m not sure if this would be the most or least successful bank job ever…
Given that no one has ever pulled a successful heist on Yre, I’d say it succeeded beyond any reasonable expectation. Half the team escaped alive, and the bank is currently disgorging its contents with abandon. At least one of the team even made off with some of that gold, and more could easily be obtained.
Secondmost sucessful. The most successful still belongs to the guy off in yorkshire that managed to knock over three banks in a row using nothing but a flaming banana.
Best Demon survived! All is good in the multiverse. Well, other than the massive destabilizing war that is spilling gold and blood into the streets…
Now for the bad news?
THE FACE OF SATISFACTION
CAT DEMON YES HE SURVIVED
How in the… How in the Hell is Felicia able to rob all that loot? I mean, there was a damn ANGEL on the ship, and that’s a lot of loot to just be able to pack up and roll off with.
I mean, she IS lucky…
But mostly because no one had the heart to tell her no after feeding her to a door and her shooting Oscar for them…
She’s just lucky I guess? Also, why would the angel care that she takes the money?
I dunno, guess she got lucky.
There was no reason for anyone to try to stop her from taking it. There are rivers of gold spreading across land. If they want gold they just need to get down and take it. Also I’m pretty sure that gold is going to be worth shit, economy is going to get hit by this fuckton of gold literally flooding the market.
Maybe she just got lucky?
You assume 82 White Chain tried to stop Felecia? Because I’m pretty sure our angel does not give one fuck. Why should she? She has no need for money – not that it won’t be easy to obtain anyway – and there are more important matters.

Congratulations on your engagement! I am happy to see those two survive.
Hey Felicia, like I know you just want your money and all, and probably get away from the fuckers who hurled you into a damn screaming mouth, but given all the blood you’re dragging behind…do you want to maybe just get them to drop you off somewhere? I mean, it’s not like any of that gold is gonna do you much good in the long run.
::3 cats survivded yee
YEEEESSSS I KNEW IT
Any one of us who considered the possibility of Felicia joining the crew must have forgotten that she was a thief on a heist.
Not that this haul will be worth much with the inflation of gold.
“Felicia robbed them of everything they got”… my right foot. More like Cio gave her everything they took out of respect, gratitude, and regret.
I knew that cat guy survived, given that he blocked some of Oscars bullets with his arms, but I’m surprised mister goldie cape pulled through given the body shots he took. I suppose that cape isn’t as decorative as it first seems.
He lives!
The Master Of Cats Expends One Of His Lives To Live Again!!!! IA!!! IA!!!
And there she was pulling the sacks of gold she stole, not paying attention to the mountains of gold that sourrounded her.
With Yre exploding and disgorging its contents everywhere, how much gold you can find is irrelevant. It’s how much you can haul away that matters.
Obviously the gold is there to obscure the real treasure hiding beneath, whatever that may be
hail the invincible cat!
oh thank god, cat guy is okay
Ahhh, they live. So, that wasn’t the end for Charon and (IA!) Cat Master. And Oscar, presumably. So I expect we’ll here of them again at some point.
By the way, I wonder, what is this bluish stuff which forms new arm and tail of our mastermind verdant devil?
Abbadon has mentioned on his blog that pale devil liquor causes rapid bodily regeneration, with side effects including the regrowth of limbs you may not have actually lost. I wouldn’t be surprised if Charon had access to some stewed-up pale devil.
In a world of thieves, the only crime is being mean to cats ^^
“Okay, I want to be very clear on this, Cio. Catmaster and his ferocious feline force all made it out alive and well?”
“…aye?”
“I hereby dub the mission an unqualified success”
They don’t call her lucky for nothin’!
AND ALL OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS LIVED!!
MAWH HAHAHAHA!!
Even Oscar, the one I hate to love and love to hate, might still come back. I win!
A successful heist.
Yes! The coolest devils yet live!
Well that makes good odds that oscar is running around still
Both cat and caretaker live.
All is right with the world.
I can’t be mad at Felicia for stealing everything, she earned it at this point for coming back in a hype ass way.
I deem this outcome acceptable.
Mastermind and Bruiser. And a cat that is the master of all (of course; it is a cat). May they fare well and never need to cross paths with Heroes, Kings, Gods, or other variants of Royalty.
YAY! The Cat Master lives. Also Charon, I know he’s greedy but I really like his design. Don’t know how I feel about Oscar possibly living though.
You say that Charon is greedy as if it were not the highest of virtues. I find him to be a respectable, if imperfect, example of the ideal of maximum profit with minimal effort. Cat Master as well is a figure I admire, for the cat is one of the most fickle and cunning creatures in all 777,777 worlds, and to gain the respect and love of such creatures shows impeccable character.
Ke-he-he-he
Felicia makes me remember Ralph Wolf ._.
Postwar German inflation has nothing on Throne!
“Hushlike”
I’m keeping that one.
Good for Felicia, well earned!
Frame 3 is gold (Tha was droolin’ and bleedin’).
Ok, cat is fine. Cat Master a bit the worse for wear, but will be fine too.
Oscar is undoubtedly nursing a very large grudge somewhere. And there’s the other big red, Oscar’s “grandfather”, who apparently got left behind in the war. I suspect he won’t be happy either. This could lead to an interesting family reunion.
Everyone I wanted to live, survived! Whoohoo!
On the one hand, I have a hard time begrudging Lucky Felicia much because she got pretty fucked over by this adventure (The fact she’s lucky to even be alive notwithstanding, she’s LUCKY Felicia after all).
But part of me wishes she’d stuck around a little. At least to clean up and convalesce a bit.
And Lo! Brother Maxwell! Did he finally ascend. Both the pit o’ gold and the ranks above his ken. Of his home, his God, his Vault, did he find naught but devastation. More gold had leaked out than ever once before, and the Count was so far off now that none could know its score. But there was still one job to do, nay, the only one he could.

Some of them appear to be… leaking.
It’s what she deserves. (Felicia, i mean.)

Just want you want in a city that’s descending into war and chaos, right?
Thank you
In the end, it is revealed that Al-Yisun abdicated her position to the cat. As it should be.
Felicia’s gonna need all that gold and more besides to find a body shop somewhere in the multiverse that can either: graft her a new cloned arm, re-grow it, go cyber, or attach a Superior Arm acquired from beast or bot.
The “Lucky One” needs time to heal up and hide out from the developing conflagration. I do hope she will re-appear one day ! |

Is it -that like the angels – their forms can be destroyed – and their spirits dispersed – but they will eventually re-form ?
Feel kinda terrible for the denizens of Yre, though.
I like the overhead shot of Felicia. I can almost hear the ominous music playing.
that first panel reminds me of the start of the 5th element, with the flying pagoda merchant visiting Corben’s appartment
love it ^^
Hello, I enjoy reading through your post.
I like to write a little comment to support you.
I read this paragraph fully concerning the comparison of latest and earlier technologies, it’s awesome article.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this,
like you wrote the book in it or something. I
think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this
is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.
