Just before it happened, witnesses were reported to hear "Zeeky Boogy Doog," witnessing the words "Happy End!" soon afterwards.

*Sigh* What's wrong with me. No one's gonna get that reference. ^^;

I am 99% sure that panel 1 is a visual of the Great Kitsune's explanation to Spirit Dragon as to why she can't modify a Locate Creature spell to deal damage. In other words, I don't think that has happened.

I am really digging the new looks for these demigods, and he may not be my #1 but Kitsune's has got to be the most colorfull of the group.

BTW, Dragon, Since you can't modify the range detonation spell to deal damage I would suggest increasing the blast radius of one of your damage enducing spells. I infer the best choices for that are fire ball, burning hands, and lightning bolt.

Yup, caught up in about 12 hours, I always do that when I find a web comic I never heard of.

I heard Guillermo Del Toro couldn't raise the funding for the third (and final -- really final) installment of Hellboy. So they gave it to Michael Bay. This has been a trailer. This is only a trailer...

Regarding the Heavenly Brats' attire: (* sniff, sniff *) "Smells like Gamer in here." I guess a copy of World Building for Gamers might be in order. Is it available on

Hmmm...I get that panel one is just an artistic representation of what could happen, but the corner text "meanwhile" may be slightly misleading.

Also, slightly off topic, but funny story, I've never seen a Taoist wear one of those yin yang accessories; the ones who do wear them are never Taoist.

When I saw the first panel I thought: PETE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?! :shock:
Then I saw the second panel and I was even more surprised to see that it was Dragon. :o
And that's when I realized that Kitsune was telling Dragon what would have happened. :)

On second glance, I thought some wise guy had been clowning around with a Planetcracker, a Blackhole generator, the Blacklight Virus (I know that's Magma, but it looks like that virus.), a Nuke and tossed in Michael J. Caboose for a good measure.

Now... I'm not sure if I can trust Dragon now. I mean, I already had a low level of trust for the Cosmic Nerds, but to actually use an infinite detection spell and turn it into an infinite destruction spell?

As Zecora so kindly put it:

"Have you Gone mad!?"
All of those weapons are bad enough, but I had hoped that even the most insane of people would not bring in Caboose as well!

"All of these weapons are now poised to attack the Earth!"
"Even if we fail, we can rebuild. Humanity is a strong species!
"He brought Caboose."
"...May God help us all."

Boo, that is not how a spell modifier works, boo. Its not modifying the spell and its function or abilities, but rather its stats and numbers related to it. The point in having spell modifiers is giving a player a number bonus to add to the spells DC to add to their dice roll to achieve the spells effect, not modifying the spell to do other things.

To make it definitely clear, the awesome panel 1 is only showing the consequences of the move that Great Kitsune is explaining to Spirit Dragon. ;) Nothing apocalyptic happened, everybody are safe, for now. :P However, this realizes what insane and really dangerous powers these gods have, and what irreversible damages they can be able to do to the Earth...
Cool look for Great Kitsune! :D And once again, Pete looks great watching Spirit Dragon in that way: he feels to have the victory of the battle. :lol:

As Gavinfoxx pointed out, this is just the infamous "locate city bomb" done on a cosmic scale. The explanation given by Kitsune is merely for laypeople who aren't well enough versed in D&D to understand, but it gets the general point across.

Getting the waistband over the tail is just basic astral dematerialization, demigods learn that while they're still in cosmic nursery.

The reason the original panel says "meanwhile" is to indicate that the fourth wall is moving now to view the "Cosmic Nerds" having a discussion. Specifically, we are being told that, at that moment, Great Kitsune is explaining the consequences of allowing the spell to work like that are, and thus why it isn't usable (since the Game is following a set of rules derived from a "common book of fate" in which nothing can be "incribed...out of malice). This is kind of one-off joke for the nerds among us, and to shift the comic's attention from Heaven over to the Game.
AlienBird wrote:The point in having spell modifiers is giving a player a number bonus to add to the spells DC to add to their dice roll to achieve the spells effect, not modifying the spell to do other things.
...alright, time to tip my hand:

Born of Three Thunders? Deafening Spell? Transdimensional spell? Or how about Fell Animate? Each of these adds a non-numeric effect to the spell that the base spell could not have had on it's own. Spell modifiers make spells do things above and beyond their base effect; how they do it is widely varied. Each of the aforementioned spell modifiers is available in 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons, the system where today's joke is drawn from. The exact modifier in question being Explosive Spell, which shunts everyone inside the spell's radius (in the D&D version, the city limits, and in U&U, the planet) and makes them take damage based on how far they were shunted (really, really far...).
