Thank you so much for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

Okay, first thing's first - Max did not pose hands-on-hips-chest-thrust-out no-looking the explosion behind her. Don't get me wrong, she's definitely no-looked plenty of explosions, but she doesn't really do the Superman pose. So the image they're showing is probably a "for illustrative purposes only" generated image. 

Also I think Max's Ixah holo-disguise is making her boobs look bigger. It's definitely not because I've accidentally been afflicting her with cup-creep over the last few dozen pages. 

If you recall, Thothogoth is "Dominus Secund" of The World Takers. Yes, I know on that linked page, he calls himself "The World Taker" not "of The World Takers," but he's being aspirational there, not to mention trying to sound tough to the flying gold woman. The thing is, demon society is rather hierarchical, and there's eleven other "Secunds," besides Thom, who each have 12 subordinates below them, who each have below them 12 subordinates, etc. Yeah, it's a weirdly rigid structure for beings that claim to be all about chaos. Well, speaking of chaos, were something permanent to happen to Dominus Prime during the tournament, (or even just while he's commuting to work or whatever) there'd probably be a heck of a power struggle to claim that top spot.

Green Strider is the longest-in-the-queue waiting Patreon cameo I had. I think he's been waiting since about a week after I set up my Patreon actually. I just never quite figured out how to fit a... oh, heck. I just realized it's "sentai," not "zentai." Yeah, I know zentai is the skintight onesie, and sentai is the genre of people wearing skintight onesies and fighting goofy rubber monsters. I'm not gonna change it. It makes "the mysterious zentainium force" even funnier to me. Anyway, I never figured out how to fit a sentai character into the comic, but now here we finally are. I think the reference picture I have is from a City of Heroes character creator maybe? But it's just the one shot and it's kind of covered in glowy... bits, and it's just a single angle, so I have to simplify the suit design a bit and make up some of the rest, but hopefully he will be amusing in his role as a UCBA finalist.

Thothogoth is going to have a very interesting meeting with his boss after this tournament 😂

Fogel

Assuming Max leaves said boss in one piece

Ah yes. “Form blazing sword dammit, just form the blazing sword already. Of for gods sake, bla. zing, sword.” Granted the episode would be over in 5 minutes, but it’d yell at the screen less. ‘Oh no, you’ve had the crap beaten out of you and innocuous generic city is in danger! If only we had a super-powered weapon we could summon. Perhaps if it was a sword and could blaze…”

"...a weirdly rigid structure for beings that claim to be all about chaos." Well, you can't maximize chaos without good organization. 😅

Lol. My first thought was Girl Genius.

Did Thom bet anything on Ixah? I am guessing that he was not in on the caper.

Lol. My first thought was Girl Genius.

Probably has some sort of BDSM restriction wherein Green Strider must suffer X amount of humiliation before his intelligent, overpowered, Mystical Mystress of Mayhem sword will appear to allow her bad boy Green Strider, to dispose of his opponents.

Jonathan Hamilton

Ok, that tagline about not reading company e-mails hits way too effing close for me lol!

Phoenix

Ruh roh Raggy! At least two protagonist tier fighters on the block! Could make for some interesting fireworks!

"Hey, you guys want to all want to team up and change the universe for the better?" "...yes." "Yes." "Please." "Sure."

William Elliott

"THOM, WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN ME ABOUT THAT WOMAN!?!?" *over vid call while getting body parts stitched back on*

Robert J Headley

I was reading the comments to see whether or not someone else caught that.

Madeleine

If "plebians" is not intentionally misspelled (I can never tell with comic characters), it should probably be "plebeians".

davebarrack

No, that's what I get for doing editing on the comic page instead of my note app with the inline spellcheck.

Steve Brinich

He suspects that Ixah is Maxima and asked Dabbler if he should bet on her (p1436). He was relieved that he hadn't locked in the bet when it looked like she'd been taken out of contention (p1440). (Eggbot showed up in the betting roster at 13:1 odds.)

"Also I think Max's Ixah holo-disguise is making her boobs look bigger. It's definitely not because I've accidentally been afflicting her with cup-creep over the last few dozen pages. " I actually had been wondering about her bust size seeming to get bigger, so glad you've noticed it yourself. "Get in line, Bluce!" I can only imagine the fan clubs and porn - specifically AI generated porn - about 'Ixah'. Cora had better keep Max off the galactinet, she might get a wee bet irritated. At least no one knows what she actually looks like under the suit, so the porn won't look like her. Of course the absolutely inevitable stuff from the idiots who can't handle the idea of a strong female character where they have Ixah being 'taught her place' might inspire a violent visit from Max even so. Come to think of it, I have no desire to look, but I wouldn't be even slightly surprised if there is RL porn of Maxima being 'taught her place'. Saw one like that for Alita once, and there was an entire chain of them for pretty much every strong female character in every fandom being imprisoned in a sex slave brothel... Ugh, how pathetic do you have to be to feel your masculinity threatened by an imaginary character?

"errrr... which woman? That's nobody I've ever seen before." (thinking hard 'no body, no body, no body' to try to fool the lie detectors.

eddi_TBH

Incel level.

Karretch

I want to say it should be "felled" since it's the result of an action against another subject instead of being the subject. "I fell over" vs "he felled the grove". I could be wrong, it's a weird term.

Mark N

That too.

eddi_TBH

Perhaps he's like Anvil. The more pounding he takes the more powerful he gets. But he lacks her immunity to damage. Dumb power set, but hey they can't all be Max.

Six finalists announced, two more to go! - One final with 8 entrants. - 8 semi-finals with 8 entrants each, a total of 64 entrants. - 64 quarter-finals with 7 or 8 entrants each, with room for 512 entrants. There are "nearly 500 entrants this year" (p1426), suggesting that about 13 to 25 quarter-finals only had 7 entrants.
