V09 – Pg38
The penultimate page of issue nine! Apologies for no update on Friday. I bought a new memory stick and was working on this page when it corrupted, losing most of this page… which was excellent. Fortunately, I keep a myriad of save files of what I’m working on, just in case something like this happens, so the damage wasn’t that bad. Years ago, I had a file corrupted and had to re-do a page from scratch – FUN.
Next week, we’ll be running a week of webcomic trailers before issue 10 launches. I’m sure many of you will be in for a big surprise.
Before that kicks off, I’m going to be posting a blog on here with some feedback on what I’ve tried to accomplish with this comic. Some of it has worked, some hasn’t. I’ll explain why certain things have been designed ‘that way’ and various other creative decisions I’ve made over the course of making this comic.
Like this page?! Please consider giving it a upvote on Reddit. Thank you!
Was very pleased to find out that VANGUARD was talked out on the Empire Of Geek podcast recently. Steven and the gang talk about the comic at the one hour mark(ish). Thanks for the shout out! on the Empire of Geek podcasr, they discuss comics, films, etc., with a particular bias towards reporting on Brit based stuff. I’ve listened to a few episodes and enjoyed them.
Anyyhoo, see you Friday for the last page of issue nine!

I can see how someone would come to the conclusion that “Fuck this, I’m out!”
It’d certainly be an option that I would consider. Why risk going back to a place where you were lucky to get away from in the first place?
regrouping doesn’t seem a option
Indeed… who’s left to regroup?
well presumably they have other trainees, besides luke, who could be deployed in an emergency, which this is. This had better not turn into one of those things where the bad guys aren’t really bad, cause I’m already emotionally invested in hating them.
I’m sure they’ve got well-founded reasons for their actions. Whether we like or agree with those reasons is a wholly different matter.
the Nazis thought they had good reasons too.
I think that, like Lukkai mentioned, if the person in question believes they are doing ‘the right thing’, they can justify it to themselves. I guess it boils down to a philosophy of ‘the end justifies the means’ kinda deal.
MOST OF THE MOST HORRIBLE THINGS IN HISTORY WHERE DONE BY PEOPLE UTTERLY CONVINCED THEY WHERE doing the right thing
Yup. That’s exactly it.
