Today on Renegade's long list of bad idea's...
Ah, Renegade, you incorrigible troll. Even when you're trying to be nice, you can't help tweaking the nose of one of the few Justice League members capable of beating you up...
Oh, really? I know it's not a personal visit, after all.
...To be fair, that probably would have complicated things.
She being Kara, of course. Another bit of worry for her mental state, though. Surprised virtual Dru-Zod isn't annoyed by having an El in charge though.
He did tell them what she's been through, right?
As skilled as you are, Barda, I don't think you can use words that way. Not as easily as someone like Highfather Izaya.
So he's pretty much flying on a lien between Vega and Grayven-16's last known sighting, hoping to run into him. Probably safer to encounter him in deep space, at least. Less collateral damage to cause...
Hard to be quiet when your travel method can make a sound even in space. On the upside, he'll likely favour the same flight method for the same reasons.
Oh, bother. What's going on now? Because the Renegade doesn't get ring calls that often...
Odd that he has no partner. Is 2828-B a rookie still in boot camp? Or is he just that damn good he can solo it 24-7?
Not until they break one of the Guardian's prohibitions... Still, having Green backup might be useful if only to legitimise your position.
Odd that the Corps hasn't shown any sign of noticing. Sure, it could be because they're avoiding populated systems... But I can't see the Gordanians restraining themselves that well.
True, it might have been pure coincidence. But it's still noteworthy. Safe bet Green Man will be starting an investigation of his own when he gets time, if it turns out not to have been Grayven-16.
Aw, come on. It's just a little Deicide.
Well, besides 'the best defence is a good offence', Just consider how many other systems are between Grayven-16 and Vega? The deserted world might not be the only one, merely the first one noticed...
Ah, the fine Early Roman tradition of pre-emptive self-defence. No, seriously, that was a thing they did.
And he's probably obliged to try to stop Grayven-16's fleet from shooting if said git is the aggressor...
Not that any of them would be sleeping on the job. Not with their homeworld's safety at stake...
Already? Well, that didn't take long.
How amusing that these two are here... I wonder, is Karras here to try to make a name for himself, and Tariya followed him because love...
...Civilian ships? I doubt Grayven-16's fleet would have such a luxury...
Definitely not Grayven-16's fleet, then. But who, then?
Hmm... What a nasty cliffhanger.
His partner is Lantern Gretti, who refused to give up his nomadic lifestyle when he joined the Corps. That was why SI Guy Gardner called him a flake. In the comics, the Guardians eventually get annoyed by that and tell him to quit or stay in his lane.
Or be troop transports.
Thank you, corrected.
I am totally onboard with this!
Broken tag
Thank you, corrected.
Definitely some manner of bioweapon. No doubt the fleet has some manner of recalling them whenever they've finished... Whatever they're intending to do. Though given this planet's location relative to the deserted planet... That purpose seems clear.
...I'm reminded of Tyranid Ripper Swarms. Though they lack the size-changing properties. Either some manner of biological function powered by those they consume, or a magical equivalent.
Gruesome as the concept is, yes, yes it does. Presumably they intend to cover the planet with them, then retrieve them later.
Indeed. Given they've already committed one at the Renegade's command...
So plenty of desire to prevent it happening to others.
As if she'd pass up a chance for a good scrap in the defence of innocents?
And she gets to take some frustrations over the Renegade out on things that she can feel perfectly justified in killing. Bonus!
Given how many places are under attack, I can't imagine how one spot is better than any other...
Bets on said Amazon appearing in the next few chapters, folks?
Ah, the 'I can't believe I had to come here personally. Someone is about to have a bad day.' pose.
To wit: Causing an entire planet to feel overwhelming fear, via unknown means, thus allowing them to forge it into a Ring. Weaponers: Never doing things by halves.
I honestly doubt this is such a case. This whole snake thing seems too... Inefficient for a Weaponer plan, too uncontrolled.
Though that would likely condemn a world to dying of fear...
Depending on the technology of the natives, this must seem like Gods coming to their aid... Which it technically is.
A pity he couldn't bring more than a handful down with him... But then, that's what Boom Tubes are for. And if a quartet of Lanterns, including the field commander, can't handle this, then things are up shit creek without a paddle.
No doubt the insides of the construct are a mass of grinding walls... At least he's getting boosted by the locals fears.
Any port in a storm, and all that. Better going with these strangers than dying.
Guess they're not happy about having company. On the upside, that means a good chance of taking prisoners to interrogate.
If they aren't talking, then there's little point in trying.
Sloppy, Lantern!
Be thankful for the save. I doubt getting eaten by these things would be pleasant.
So, all local survivors rescued. On to another area, or wait for the attackers...
Meh, he can take it.
Ah, the Renegade's going to act as bait for the backup.
The joy of super-strength.
Though I suspect they'd be loath to admit defeat like that, I take it they're wise enough to know when they're outclassed...
Ah, Renegade. Stylish as ever.
I wonder how strong it is compared to other yellow rings.
