She reminds me of the dwarven berserkers from warlords battlecry, completely decked in armor w/ spikes and bladed claw arms. good dwarven set up!

Place your bets...Richard as himself or still in his golem body?
Also...Pella can fight...I don't think those guards knew what hit them...

I counted 9 crossbow-guns; there's probably 10. Doesn't look like she has extra ammo, though.
I'm calling Richard as a golem with a very blue army. I mean, it probably took Pella long enough to make all that.

I must say that that one fact raises Pella's coolness factor by at least a thousand.

Lulz...now Benny's all back of the bus and everything. And we thought Pella would never get any real play.
I have to wonder, what is Richard pleading for? Is he simply having difficulty tolerating Benny's music in place of Pella's?
And how will Pella react when she finds out that Richard left Cale floating into the nether-blob? She and Richard may have made up and become pals again after the incident with the shaman, but her first priority is Cale's safety, after all.

merry Christmas hope those who celebrate the occasion got what they wanted i know i did (new Terry Pratchett book

)
anyhoo i have to agree that Pella looks
AWESOME I love how she's dual-wielding crossbows like pistols

(kinda hope it's a permanent upgrade). I think that Richard is still in golem form and is either pleading with the brothers to do what he tells them or Benny is singing badly.

Well... I don't think so.
I'm going to call this now, the next page is more song...
Benny:
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Richard:
PLEASE swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Lean on me...

Soooo....what does 'Lean On Me' have to do with the current situation? I mean, sure, she's supposed to be 'helping out' Cale by raiding the castle, but still....seems kind of...out of place.

When she first appeared she was singing a Queen song about the cold war ending in the world nuking itself to death and everything we've worked for vaporized in moments. The little similarities are really what are supposed to catch.
Also I also see the mysterious items she obviously was crafting in the last panel of the last comic were Powergloves for herself.
They're so bad...

The song is about being there for a friend who needs you.
Although if you leant on Pella right now I suspect you'd lose various body parts.
There's several renditions of it on Youtube, but
this just seems like that strangest example.

Dec 25 2008, 01:54 PM
Lean on Me is the name of the song, and wow yeah Pella is kicking some butt and leaving body parts as she goes , so I think Richard is either a little pissed or at least slightly amused and wanting in on some of the fun.

This also could end up being another "Can we keep her" moment.

Maybe it's a test for him, or a journey. Everyone gets thrown into the abyss without a special present afterwards.
And what I meant about the song: If it was just the casual context-song, then pella would've sung it. But no, Pella told Benny exactly what to do and prohibitted her fighting in that way.

anyone else notice that "please" is the next word on the song, I think we are about to witness a pella/richard duet of carnage.
in fact the next verse is
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show
how cute, looks like the richard/pella friendship runs deep....

True its sort of weirds. x_X
My favorite version is
this oneBut to stay on topic at least a bit:
Sigh okay okay you got me. I hated Pella in the first pages, especially her look that broke the 4th wall more than once... for a long time that hate grew, but then slowly (very slowly) it got better, and this page is the final sandcorn (or well lets call it a rock...or a small mountain) that made me reconsider. So I grudgingly admit she is cool.

Dec 25 2008, 04:17 PM
Again... There is no overkill. These rabid music fans have become pretty dangerous nowadays, huh? (May i borrow that suit for the next pogo, pleaaaaase? )
I totally see the situation:
Richard coming from the other side in the rock golem body. He stops, stares at Pella, then at the massacre, then again at Pella, then at his own body, then again at Pella. * Sniff O.O, * ...

A suggestion I haven't seen yet.
What if something went wrong with the Richard Smash and the gem fell off and is now near to where Pella is slaughtering?
Now look again at that main panel, and imagine Pella is on fire at the same time.

The plan was that Legara would never know that the blue people were missing. They might just realise something is wrong at the dungeon when they look in and realise they're wading ankle-deep through blood.

More like Subzero... haven't felt the Shredder vibe really, mostly because she has those hand-crossbows attached and Shredder didn't.
Plus... Subzero is cool... like Pella

For the first time ever I had to give a sound to Benny's voice. How would she sound singing? *daydreaming* ... must be pretty cool...

I've always got the feeling that Pella is War Bard. So long as you're doing a Dance of Death, you might as well have some kick ass accompaniment. Personally I would have thought that particular tune just a bit to slow for proper carnage, but you could always
Step it up a notch or two.
When i bother with a Modern Rock War Bard, I tend to prefer Black Hole Sun.
