And suddenly, I had a vision of this palace’s collapse.
Mykos will feast on it’s corpse, as it is just and proper for the maggots to feast on the remains of God.
On that note, “Heavy Metal Thunder” appears to be really popular name for songs. I found 6 different ones with that title on Youtube that I’d call metal, plus one I’d say was pop-rock.
1) I knew eating butts was bad juju. I knew it in my bones.
2) Those poor fools. At least they die to the most badass angel this side of the Wheel. I bet Mr. Doorman’s not gonna escape their fate either…
3) Technically, you could call Om a vampire, right? They that depletes the youth and vitality of lesser beings in order to perpetuate their own existence? I could be very well jumping the gun on that, but that’s what I’ll think until we get some confirmation on that. So, yeah, I… well, no the Twilight reference falls flat around here, so. I was gonna say ‘I was in love with a youth vampire’ but I don’t think I’d want to be in the same universe as Mottom.
Also I really love the uniform of Mottom’s guards.
P.S. I once read some great words of wisdom… I relay them to you my fellow readers. ‘When you invoke the thunder, one must be ready to face the whirlwind.” That poor fellow has done exactly that, it seems.
“If you ride like lightning, you’re gonna crash like thunder.” Ben Mendelsohn as Robin in “The Place Beyond the Pines.” Great line in an otherwise terrible movie.
No, that’s 6 Juggernaut. Notice the shape of the helmet matching his soul as well as the hooked halo. Also the flames coming from his body, being an igneous angel. White Chain is still only vapor.
There aren’t any spikes because this is his armor. His skull-face is contained within. Same with all the other Thorns with their circle-heads. Their shapes are contained within their armor.
Ah, my mistake, I assumed the transformation was a bit instant when she accepted, as the old body looks much more like it’s still inert than it does inhabited.
It appears that the ball has an uninvited guest. That or he got an invite and missed the part about the dress code, or he has a dashing suit tucked away in that bike somewhere.
I would very much like to see a spin-off comic where these two go on a number of wacky and improbable adventures that end abruptly with this panel for obvious reasons thank you very much.
I’m not sure that’s White Chain. I mean, it looks like her old body strapped on there, but the angel riding the bike doesn’t look like what the body they were going to give her looked like.
Looks like White Chain didn’t end up getting the Thorn body Metatron promised. I wonder if that’s because they didn’t want it or because it wasn’t offered?
I hope those two guards get elaborate backstories and become the dark horse side characters, because I really like them. With Smug Doorman to complete the triumvirate of guardmen.
Judas Priest’s “Painkiller” rings through my head on sight of that bike … which is easily an order of magnitude cooler than the bike on that album cover (though it’s pretty rad, too).
Cool bike notwithstanding, I hope 6 Juggernaut gets smoked by Mottom or Alison.
Important details to note:
1) Juggernaut Star is carrying White Chain’s empty body, probably still spiked. He is also carrying a mysterious second object, that appears to be a jug or bag of somekind.
2) Those corpses that make up JS’s motorcycle look like they’re a good time, i’m happy for them
Eternity as a part of a flaming corpse motorbike seems like something the War Boys’d be into. I was hoping the Angels would show up soon, this got GUD.
Right, so, due to a love of metal and nothing better to do, upon witnessing the final panel I decided to comb through my archives to find the perfect bit of music that summed up ‘An Angel of Death Metal is about two seconds away from murdering everyone’. Nothing’s really clicked so far, though.
Of course, about a minute after I posted that, I found one that’s damn near perfect. Facing the Ash by Chronolyth, though I suspect melodeath isn’t quite Juggernaut Star’s genre, hence my long search.
That little devil is loitering! Arrest them!
He’s not just loitering, he stole the level of the building those men were standing next to between the first and last panel!
Damn those space warping devils. THEY ARE A MENACE!
And suddenly, I had a vision of this palace’s collapse.

I like to imagine the lightning bolt was accompanied by the slowly increasing in volume sound of death metal.
As we all know that Thorn Angels generate such noise ambiently.
If this ever gets animated. THIS ^ must happen.

Your word of wisdom please me, oracle. Let us have thee phrofecy come true
I know three things.
1) I knew eating butts was bad juju. I knew it in my bones.
2) Those poor fools. At least they die to the most badass angel this side of the Wheel. I bet Mr. Doorman’s not gonna escape their fate either…
3) Technically, you could call Om a vampire, right? They that depletes the youth and vitality of lesser beings in order to perpetuate their own existence?

They’re in for a bad time.
chapter 5?
Huh. Expected 82 (83?) to have a newer body.
They do, they’re the one riding the bike. They just took their old abandoned armor for some reason.
No, that’s 6 Juggernaut. Notice the shape of the helmet matching his soul as well as the hooked halo. Also the flames coming from his body, being an igneous angel. White Chain is still only vapor.
I disagree, no spikes out of the eyes.
There aren’t any spikes because this is his armor. His skull-face is contained within. Same with all the other Thorns with their circle-heads. Their shapes are contained within their armor.
Ah, my mistake, I assumed the transformation was a bit instant when she accepted, as the old body looks much more like it’s still inert than it does inhabited.
*rubs hands*
Dis gon b good
In the most awful way possible.
Death faster than sound, heralded only by a terrible light.
Thus Spake YISUN, and Their Word Was the Light, And the Black Flame Was the Death, that was Life made True in Its Lies.

Me too, I’d love to! <3
That certainly is one way to make a crashing entrance to the party. I only hope things go well for our guest of honor inside.
OH.
OHHHH MY.
Tell me that’s the new body she’s wearing and her own rad bike and that she’s about to use her old body as an hammer!
Huh. No. This is 6 Juggernaut Star.
I’m not sure that’s White Chain. I mean, it looks like her old body strapped on there, but the angel riding the bike doesn’t look like what the body they were going to give her looked like.
That’s Juggernaut Star, you can tell from the three-pronged helmet.
…I had assumed it was Juggernaut Star. This is a much better option and I hereby assume that it is true in the hopes the gods agree.
Radical!
Totally.
#SKELLYLYFE
“Thunderstruck” beginning in 3, 2, 1…
I disagree. One *cannot* be too into drawing that motorbike.
Typical of angels to turn up to a party uninvited.
It’s always the one you don’t hear that gets yah.
well, never has my name been more appropriate
“The party don’t start ’till I walk in”
Or, in this case, ride.
Thunder? There are going to be more then thunders.
These men require time they do not have.
THINGS WILL GET LOUD NOW
Alas.
I see the guards are well taught in Planar Cant.
It is said that thunder always follows lightning, yet I feel as these two would do well to not start the count.
*Death metal music plays in the last panel*
THUNDER IS COMING
At last I truly see. Those are not the souls of the damn yoked to the hellbike, those are groupies.
>Wheeeee
Never before has my name been more appropriate than now.
thunder only happens when it’s raining
players only love you when they’re playing
“There is no lightning without Wheel Skeletons.” – Judas Priest
A worm wonders at the OH MY SOMEONE’S ABOUT TO GET WRECKED
Looks like White Chain didn’t end up getting the Thorn body Metatron promised. I wonder if that’s because they didn’t want it or because it wasn’t offered?
I think it’s because Metatron and co. want White Chain to cozy up to AlYISUN, and to do that White Chain’ll have to appear as normal.
Way to into drawing that bike for AWESOME reasons.
Oh and fun, he’s got white chain in the back. I like the idea that in the meantime, she’s just been an exceptionally large garden gnome somewhere.
Ever have one of those days when a maelstrom of ghostly, road raging spiked death rains from the sky and just straight up die?
Those are the worst.
Dying between each of your comments must be quite annoying, isn’t it?
What better way to find a new point of view.
Ladies and gentlemen, the time to blast Judas Priest is *now*.
I wonder, if this Juggernaut making an entry to the ball, or, given the dormant passenger being carried, if White Chain got a ride along with a body
And then, just when I thought this comic couldn’t get any more metal, that last panel happens.
A the classic wreck the party with a vehicle and oldie that never tires.
Puns like this really rev my engine.
No but seriously I will battle you on a barren mountaintop.
A ball such as this cannot go uninterrupted.
And it will never be unpleasant for us to see Juggernaut Star, no matter how much any of us disagree with his goals.
We interrupt the exposition train for the most metal image I’ve ever seen.
RIP Mottom’s husband, shortest lived character in the series.
Pretty gutsy.
Now we’re talking. Got to appreciate a proper Keraunokinesis.
Bring the Thunder.
The doorguard will pat himself doubly on the back for his foresight.
Oh, and if I may:

You know a panel’s good when there isn’t a single Heavy Metal anthem that doesn’t go with it.
Oh lord that’s white chain isn’t it?
A whole bunch of shit’s about to go down.
DYNAMIC ENTRY!
Guess who’s back
Welp, those guards are doomed. Poor sods.
They are famous indeed…
The thunder is right behind you.
Envy begets a reckoning.
I hope those two guards get elaborate backstories and become the dark horse side characters, because I really like them. With Smug Doorman to complete the triumvirate of guardmen.
One of the four beasts, saying “Come and see.”
To be fair the Bike is the heaviest of metal
To be fair that bike is the heaviest of metal.
I would expect Juggernaut Star’s lighting to be heralded by thunder that sounds suspiciously like a metal guitar solo
It’s fun when two stories finally intersect.
When you do the movie, please DON’T give that part to Nick Cage.
give EVERY part to Nick Cage. we have the technology and he has the range.
CRASHING THIS BALL
Are these two our Rosencrantz and Guildenstern?
They DO seem likely to be dead, very soon…
Judas Priest’s “Painkiller” rings through my head on sight of that bike … which is easily an order of magnitude cooler than the bike on that album cover (though it’s pretty rad, too).
Cool bike notwithstanding, I hope 6 Juggernaut gets smoked by Mottom or Alison.
There is but one answer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SoXxnlCUqk
They’ve been
ThunderStruck
And I saw a rider who measured the hours of men; and he rode upon a motorcycle; and that motorcycle was fucking awesome.
It is not so much that lightning does not strike twice. Rather, those who are struck twice never speak of it.
Important details to note:
1) Juggernaut Star is carrying White Chain’s empty body, probably still spiked. He is also carrying a mysterious second object, that appears to be a jug or bag of somekind.
2) Those corpses that make up JS’s motorcycle look like they’re a good time, i’m happy for them
Surely the second object is a tool to summon back White Chain.
Say what you will of 82’s methods
but one cannot deny his incredibly god like skill at making an entrance
I get the feeling the guy at the door isn’t going to want to be there very, very soon.
This is SO HYPE
Eternity as a part of a flaming corpse motorbike seems like something the War Boys’d be into. I was hoping the Angels would show up soon, this got GUD.
Yes, what a way to become Shiny and Chrome…
WITNEEEEEESS!
a wise motorcyclist once said
man is only separated
from heaven by that
which he will not ramp.

See, everyone’s going for Thunderstruck, but 6 Juggernaught Star is clearly the Painkiller.
Chromium-plated boiling metal, indeed.
A dramatic entrance, though I doubt the guards would appreciate it.
Now that I think about it, I don’t believe I would appreciate it either.
Come now gentlefolk, there is but one piece befitting an angel of destruction descending upon a demon infested den of iniquity.
