The Destructoid Comic: Open fire! photo

[The Destructoid Comic is a community plot driven comic series drawn by Mikey.]

Previously, on the Destructoid Comic:

Our heroes have finally fixed the Ikaruga! Nothing can stand between our heroes and certain victory ... or can it? Niero is still being held by the sinister Tom Jackson and Ash is still unwittingly controlling the deadly robot currently destroying Destructoid City. Will the city be saved? Will there even be a city left to save?

It's been a while since I last did one of these, my apologies. Lots of things going on the last couple of months, so sadly I had no time to get new pages done. But the comic is now back! Enjoy after the break!




NEW RULES!

Right, this story needs to get to some sort of conclusion, so I thought it would be a good idea to give a couple of ideas get you to vote on where the story heads. Here are the choices:

1 - The Ikaruga flies around the Destructor-toid distracting while Jim and the RetroforceGO! team sneak inside it and take it out from the inside.

2 - Technophile and his squad of Forum Commandos go hunting for the whereabouts of Niero.

3 - Reverand Anthony finally puts two and two together and realises that his sister is controlling the Destructor-toid, he rushes home to stop her leaving Ashley Davis fighting the horde of X-bots.

4 - Failcast are alive, and help Reverand Anthony and Ashley Davis fight the X-bots.

5 - CTZ and Brad Nicholson continue their epic battle with the video game ninjas.

6 - Samit Sarkar appears for no God damn reason.

Vote for what you want to happen and feel free to add your own ideas to the choice you pick!

Awesome!

Obviously, as a dedicated forumer, I have to vote for 2. But you could work 6 into that as well. It would be too funny not to.

you know that explosion looks like the greatest effect I've seen ever!! I like that and also voting for no. 1 because I'm biased like that and I want to appear at least once in the end. I know I'm punk like that. If 6 wins for no reason I'll be sad :<

I love this direction you're heading Mikey <3

I vote for 6.

Though, with the long-term hiatus of Retroforce GO, perhaps that can be worked into the comic?

No.1?

Would be awesome if all of them are combined though :P

This is getting awesome. I vote for having 2 & 3 happen at the same time. If I can only pick one, than 3.

I choose number 3...without reading it.

Why? Ask my good friend, President Schwarzeneggar.

I think that is reason enough.

Awesome, I also vote for number 7, the one where The Young Scot shows up and has sex with EVERYONE.

Failing that I will vote for number 1.

:D

I know this isn't one of the options, but I figure I'd set it out there anyway, how about a filler comic where Geraldo Beedog is broadcasting on the horrific events?

Also if I had to choose one I would choose 6, that makes Sammit appear, talk to the robot about sports, causing it to be stunned so Topher can fly into the core of the Destructoid robot and eliminate it. (Or at least shut it down long enough to Anthony to realize what's going on and run to go stop his sister).

2. The forumers bind to create a collective conscience or hive mind, using thought waves of sheer nerd energy to take down Destructor-toid.

Also 6.

Have Samit show up and use his sonic scream or something like that, because its not like him. That'd be hilarious
