Gunny's gonna die again, isn't he?

(Also, psst, there's only one I in "compromised." Unless the Queen spells it funny, I guess. I mean, you lot are obviously incorrect in how you spell "artifact," after all.)

Where have all the good men gone?
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight
Upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need!

I NEED A HERO!

I feel like this could become an interesting Evoland-style game. Or perhaps, this was lightly inspired by Evoland and its sequel?

Bonny Tyler quotes are ALWAYS FTW! ;)

And who doesn't think Gunny IS a street-wise Hercules?
Oh right, he's actually super dense... :p

So Gunny only chose archer class for the good looking hat?
He still very much seems to enjoy the close range brawlfighting :p

Well, he's from a shooter, so archer is probably closest to his groove.

In theory, as a futuristic space marine, he should be an expert marksman...as such being an archer would be a perfect fit for him.

Evidently firing a bow is trickier than firing a gun, as we learned in a previous comic. :p

Not if we look a few strips back xD
Maybe he decided when missing his first shot, that he would be a brawling marksman in stead?

Pretty sure their swords are just gonna bounce off his armor, also I hope they send someone to find that dude's jaw since it's probably in the next county.

He's just lucky Gunny didn't pick the Monk/Brawler class.

Dammit! Can Rad please do some magic?!? He is a frickin' wizard. All of his power moves so far have included "just be cute". I'm ready for him to bust out a chain lightning. Or, assuming he is level 1, let me at least see a magic missile. I'd be happy with some cantrips. "Smokepuff" for the win.

If Rad is a classic Final Fantasy mage, he'll have to buy his spells first. Let's hope Gunny comes back with a lot of cash.

They characters are clearly FF7 inspired, so he needs to stick some materia in his weapon, armour or body. Rather than buying spells.

Gunny for the retcon!

I like that lingering effect in panel two. I choose to believe it's concentrated trauma. :)
