To view the full-size version, left-click the image once, then right-click and open in a new tab/view. At least that seems to work for some people.
Lorlara is 100% channeling Drax there in panel 2. I actually can't read that word bubble without hearing it in Dave Bautista's voice.
"Primitive fire stick" is such a douchey "my world has higher tech than your world" thing to say. Okay, maybe they've been using vape pens for 700 years, or they have some kind of "caseless" cigarette that chemically burns itself down without any actual fire or even heat, but it'd be a bit like driving Luke's landspeeder up to an internal combustion car and saying "Your primitive beast-of-burdenless carriage is quaint!" Dude. Your shit hovers 18" off the ground, which is cool, but both vehicles get you where you want to go.
Max is enjoying a little me time while all the other agencies bumble all over each other. I guess Archon wasn't the only one watching TV earlier tonight.
I kind of agree with Max. The cloaks might kind of work for field uniforms, especially if they add a practical layer of protection. Yeah, they could hamper dexterity in certain situations, but they'd also allow people to ready a gun or click on their radio without being observed doing it. And since they're a heavier material than a flappy cape, they'd have less chance of getting hung up on pokey out bits or whipped over their faces or anything like that. Plus, they'd be designed to break away with a pop of a button or two. Hmm.

I hope ash lord is a brand of Alari cigar!
I don't think Deus "X" Machina has diplomacy immunity from these government agencies being the CEO and not the actual head of State of Galytn.
Jack Ponder
Ah. Lovely. An governmental pissing contest.
Dave Barrack
You and me both.

Can Max (legally) trump the three letter agencies,and shoo them out of the room? Not that it's likely to have come up before, but who DOES have priority in a mess like this?
Jeffrey Nonken
"Spitzer" and "Swallows"? ... And how long has Björk worked for the NSA in this universe?
Dark Kuno
How long until Max realizes that she's going to need to step in and "rescue" him just because of the potential trouble it could cause if he gets constantly harassed by every government agency at the same time given the number of unknowns involving the Alari and the fact that Archon is going to likely have to clean up the mess one way or another.

Congrats, Dave... You consistently make me wish you could somehow make comics every day of the week. ;)

I'm assuming you mean Special Agent Johnson from panel six. And no, He's Special Agent Johnson from "Die Hard".

I sense Edna Mode from an alternate Dimension shouting "No Capes!" and doesn't know why. But yeah, no capes for the field uniforms. All you have to do is to get Sydney to display it's impracticality in the most spectacular fashion because she will, by default, find the faults.
Doug Northcote
John Ringo has a similar scene in the book LIve free or die. FAA loses its shit because he is flying a starship without a pilot license. Pretty great scene.

I want Max to bring it up and then Sydney kool-aid mans into the room shouting No Capes! And then proceeds to quote Edna's entire monologue.
BJ
Do it Max! At least optional, it looks so cool!
Lex of Excel
...is that the Cigarette Smoking Man?

Maxima: I gloat. Verily I do gloat.

Ok Mulder, you can come out now. We all know you wouldn’t miss this.

The version that comes to my mind is the L. Neil Smith story, "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Launch!" (Open Space Volume 1 Issue 3). A nice story, if you don't mind a bit of preachiness.

I'm still disturbed by the way Cyber Six wraps herself in her cloak as she jumps off that building at the end of her theme song. Let's hope she unwraps before she hits the ground, yes?

With as many comics as I have read of the years, I have one big overreaching criteria for clothing; "If I'm falling through the air with my feet towards the ground, will it blind me?" Try putting a veil through that test and tell me what you get. XD

I think I seen a joke about this somewhere multiple agencies go after the same person and choke each other with red tape.

One side stylish, the other side active camo, hrmmmmmm...
Justaguy
I'm Martha with the Three Letter Acronym department, I'd here to ask you if the Alari language supports Initilisations?
Justaguy
Sydney could mask what orb she's holding. And could also situationally hide some of the less "normal" body types.
Michael Obert
Oh,Agents Spitzer and Swallows; nice. Love the cameo from Agent Johnson too. If Loralara gets her hands on him, they'll need some new FBI guys.
Lord Crusade
Should have seen THIS coming, lol
