V18 – Pg14
Meta-Human in the family
First off, welcome new readers! VANGUARD has been part of the CoH for a few years now and there’s plenty to read. Enjoy!
We join the De Tonnerres, a day or two after the funeral of the patriarch of the family. Now, in a last ditch effort to revive the fortunes of the ailing company, Rupert De Tonnerre has a final ace up his sleeve.
The Melder unit, aka Barrage-a-Trois, was eliminated by Pendragon back in issue eleven. This one part of a series of events that led to the family’s downturn.
If you’ve enjoyed the comic so far, I post upcoming designs and sketches over on my Patreon page. Soon I’ll be uploading the previous issues in PDF format onto there. So why not help the creation of VANGUARD and throw a few quid/bucks into the pot? It all helps keep this comic going.

Get the psycho youngest sister in there! While you are on live prime-time TV.
Nothing bad could possibly happen here
Anything for those ratings!
Wow, there’s stupid and then there’s ‘put a psychopathic child in the metahuman-making machine that produces horrible abominations’.
Haha – yep, one sister is a little ditsy, the other psychotic.
I really don’t get what they hope to accomplish with the melder – as shown, it’s still just as vulnerable to bullets. Basically, it’s a much-more-disturbing version of Pendragon – stronger, maybe faster, but nothing compared to the really powerful ones.
This new version has a few upgrades… but still carries the weakness to the eyes. But fear not, they have a plan to deal with that.
