Naw I’d be the one to set it on fire, as far as I can tell Mike doesn’t carry a flame thrower everywhere he goes… (Unlike me) But I’d be more then happy to let Mike drag away Amber if he wanted her… Besides if Mike was the one to do it I doubt Amber would date him, after all would you date the guy who burned your boyfriend to death? :I
I for one bet Sal’s introduction will be a total subversion of everyone’s expectations. Maybe Catholic school worked out and she and Joyce will be best church buddies forever.
Well, until today’s comic (Which now looks more clearly like a cape), it looked like her cape was actually part of her hair, making it longer and looking more like Sal’s. That’s why I figured it’d be Sal. Even now I see it as long hair, not a cape, in yesterday’s comic.
Or not awesome at all. Sal could be utterly quiet and unassuming, or as Billie suspects she could be a total goddball. What with not having to be moved around her whole life, not witnessing the death of her (not)parents, what cause would she have to become a psycho badass?
Amber has demonstrated a respectable level of fighting prowess in SP!, and has clobbered Mike and Robin. I’m assuming she’s just naturally strong and/or talented.
I guess so, but I’m still hoping it’s somehow related to the Korean Mafia. I know Willis said there would be no aliens and none of their effects, but I don’t think he ever said no Korean Mafia.
Hopefully this means Danny will forget all about Dorothy and focus on discerning Amazi-Girl’s true identity. Something tells me he’ll meet Amber out of costume and not know who she is. That’s how these things work.
Also, did the third panel remind anybody else of Kick-Ass?
Looking back, though, it’s pretty obvious he juxtaposed the shadow of the cape over the shadow of the hair to purposefully make it look more like it could be Sal’s hair. So I think my false assumption was justified.
Besides, it’s not like I inspected the figure all that much; I just saw a female jump out of nowhere and beat up some dude. Considering the two characters, how much more would you expect to see Sal doing such a thing than Amber? (A lot more, that’s how much.)
It just occured to me: why is Amber climbing that? Where is she going to roof jump to? I would find it even more distressing if I didn’t do the exact same thing in Assassin’s Creed all the time.
Having used surprise as part of her ass-kicking of the fratboys. Amazi-Girl is taking to the high ground, both in case she needs to quickly move elsewhere and so that if she needs to communicate with the near-victim, she can do so in a way that reveals little of her body (it’s not easy to even determine height when you see someone at night in dark clothing twenty feet away while they’re crouched and you’re looking up).
Amazi-girl has clearly been doing this for a while.
If Danny and Amber engage in a drawn-out romantic-comedy storyline culminating in a big dramatic splash-panel print-worthy kiss, that would be AWESOME.
Ah, ok, so it wasn’t Sal but this “Amazi-Girl” (I’m assuming shes Amber from the webcomic “Short-packed”, correct?) I heard about in previous comments..ok, cool (it sorta suits the story more when I stop and think about it: mystery woman vs. alternate universe girlfriend)~ Shes epic and pretty.
But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make Sal’s first appearance be just as epic! PLEASE I BEG OF YOU! ; ~ ; (it may or may not have to involve motorcycles…)
Agreeable statement is agreeable. I agree with this agreeable statement! : D
I like Amber (from what little I’ve seen of her as I skimmed over a few strips of “Short-packed”) but there’s just something about Sal that makes me a huge fan of her o:
That and I’m a huge fan of Walky and “Walky x Joyce”.
its my personal gravitar. I looked through the “Its Walky!” prints and found “The many faces of Sal” and I absolutely loved it. I really want a Sal icon ^ ^;;
(or did you mean the “Amazi-girl” icon I had for a few minutes? I kinda cropped it from the comic because it was an epic substitute for the time being until I found a Sal icon)
Fun random barely-applicable aside: When I was in high school, I knew of a friend-of-a-friend named Danny, who was known to dress in drag and call himself Amber (apparently, he wasn’t all that good at it, either). I was just reminded of this, and now I’ll never be able to state “Danny/Amber OTP” (true though it’s suddenly become) without being reminded of this.
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR COINCIDENTAL CHOICE OF NAMES FOR CHARACTERS WHO WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO MEET AS ORIGINALLY CREATED, WILLIS
Amber was never abducted, and she still managed to kick the crap out of Mike and Robin. She’s just naturally that strong. Plus, she’s Ethan’s best friend in this continuity, so he probably got her hooked on Batman or something.
What I meant was, “I did not expect a masked vigilante beating up thugs & leaping onto buildings etc. I thought Amazi-Girl would stay with the aliens & drama tag & talking car. I am surprised to see her in the strip that I assumed to be mostly about college hijinks. Hm.”
I wasn’t questioning Amber’s strength in general, but the usage of it. Obviously after Ruth tossed Billie like a used tissue I knew comics physics were in play, but this is a direction I did not see coming.
It’s entirely possible to huck a cheerleader over your shoulder without cartoon physics, you just have to know what you’re doing if you don’t want to wreck yourself in the process.
I was also not expecting Amazi-Girl to carry over, but I could still see it happening at an actual university with a proper amount of functional mental disorder. She’ll be legendary, of course. I mean, The Mad Shitter of Texas Instruments was real, why not Amazi-girl?
I’m guessing Amber has contacts or has gotten lasik surgery in this universe, wearing non-prescription lenses when not Amazi-girl. (or she switches, in the contacts case). I got the impression in Shortpacked her vision was pretty bad, bad enough that landing those exact kicks and punches would be quite a feat.
You don’t need to be able to see anything more than blurs to fight without glasses. My vision sucks, you just select targets based on the color of the blurs and knowledge of where people should be. What you absolutely cannot do is read long distance.
If Danny and Amber end up getting together as some people are suggesting, I’m going on strike. I simply cannot imagine a world where Amber/Mike doesn’t exist.
To be Honest, And a lot of folks may hate me for sayin this, I hope that none of the characters end up in the same relationships as the were in the walkyverse. Mostly because that would be too predictable.
Prediction that I’m sure won’t happen (but it would be awesome if it did): The football players gather reinforcments and get the jump on Amazi-Girl. As the are about to attack Sal jumps (no, backflips) through a ring of fire on a motorcycle, jumps off while the bike is still upside-down, and her and Amazi-Gilr proceed to kick all their asses.
Then, pirates attack and Ninja Rick joins the fight.
Except of course that, in the Walkyverse, Dorothy came after Amber, during a time when Amber had long poofy hair. Amber later got a makeover during that time, giving her a hairstyle similar to Dorothy’s.
Also, Amber and Dorothy are completely different personality-wise.
This entire comic could be argued as proof Willis is running out of character ideas, however, if not ideas for his characters.
Gee, I wonder why people think that sarcasm–a practice based entirely in vocal inflection, with no real way to convey it in text whatsoever–works well in text.
Yeah, I tend to use :p or ;p as markers of sarcasm or “this statement is clearly joking” online, just cause you can’t you intonation in a none phonological medium, sorry if I seemed liek I was deliberately trying to infuriate you Wackd
I think it would be funny as hell if there is no Amber, just Dorothy in a herosuit with contacts and a wig.
All of the commentors weeing themselves over characters from that earlier comic as if anything about them were applicable to the new continuity really does add an extra level of interactive hilarity to DOA. It’s like Willis was just barking into a paper bag when he told everyone right out of the gate that most of these characters were going to be radically different since none of them have been fscked with by aliens.
I hope Sal first appears wordlessly in the background as a cashier at the Smoovy Smoov frozen yogurt and smoothie bar in the local mall’s food court or something. That would be fuggin’ hilarious.
But we’ve already seen Dorothy and Amber simultaneously at the hall meeting thingy. And Willis has attempted to defend the two of them as distinct character designs beyond hair color.
We COULD still get the swerve of having Amazi-Girl NOT be Amber, but I hope not.
What amuses me is everyone waiting to see Jason. Because Jason in It’s Walky was not from the Walkyverse. For all we know, the Jason that appeared in It’s Walky could have his origins in the DoA universe thus leading to no Jason appearing in DoA.
For the record, I’m absolutely sure that’s incorrect. I’m just sayin’ it’s a possiblity.
Why is Amber so badass already, though? Is she a little older than the rest of the cast and a teacher or something, like Leslie? AUGH SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Willis has stated that he doesn’t want to go over the same character arcs that people have already read, so either he’ll be going about it differently like in Danny’s case, or it’s already happened, just offscreen and under slightly different circumstances.
1.) Wouldn’t Amber be old enough to be a teacher/ student teacher (or at least a junior/senior)? I thought she was older than a college freshman…
2.) Doesn’t she wear glasses? I wonder if Danny finds out her secret identity by discovering Ambers contacts… (if she even needs glasses/contacts in this universe)
3.) Is she completely redesigned to be the age as the other cast members?
1. If we’re going by Amber’s age in Shortpacked!, then yeah, she’d be too old to be a freshman. Then again, so would Danny, considering he’s 31.
2. Yeah, she wears glasses. It’s not really clear because she’s only in the background for the meeting, but she still has the white ovals over her eyes.
3. EVERYONE’S redesigned to be around the age for college freshmen.
Remember, most everyone from It’s Walky is in their 30’s. Amber’s actually younger than them.
So this is what it’s like to be pissed and pleased with Willis and the same time. I think I’m no longer a newbie. I have now experienced what long time Willis fans have many times before.
i honestly think it be helarious if sal ended up being a completely normal person or even a nun but she has the cumpulsion to enter and exit locations by crashing through the nearest window
I really hope so. :/ I hope hes forced the emasculating role of “damsel in distress”.
I don’t HATE Danny, per say, but I don’t LIKE him, either.
In “Roomies!” I understand he loved Sal (honestly, who can blame him for falling for SAL?) and she was his girlfriend, so of course when Joyce came around he had to turn to her down (because you DO NOT F*CKING CHEAT ON SAL).
I understand he was crushed and vulnerable (very much like he was before Amazi-girl when Dorothy dumped him) and did in fact consider going out with Joyce for all of ten seconds until Joyce pulled a dick move (I love Joyce a lot and find her very charming, but even I’ll admit what she did was really really REALLY low) on him and told her parents they were ENGAGED the very night he went to confront her about a POSSIBLE romantic relationship between them after being dumped by Sal. This insane and jerkish (its not cute fantasizing, its LYING TO YOUR PARENTS about a relationship status, which is pretty high on a scale of one to pathetic right along there with living in their basement) act ruined her chances with Danny understandably.
I even understand how their personalities aren’t compatible (even if it didn’t take Joyces dick move to realize it) and that Joyce is the type were you either love or hate, no real middle ground.
But what made me detest Danny was that HE LED HER ON. He never seriously got it across to Joyce that he wasn’t interested in her that way. (No, Joes actions against Joyce don’t count because Joyce could EASILY have seen them as he was jealous she could steal Danny away) He continued to let Joyce believe there was a glimmer of hope with him when there was none and was possibly her friend out of pity.
Even RUTH, who barely saw them interact could tell what game Danny was playing. (God I need a life, I think way too much on this comics story because I love it so durn much…D: )
I call shenanigans! If Amber is here, that means that there will be a good chance that the rest of Shotpacked will be here, and that means Faz. DO NOT WANT!
What would be the bigger dick move – having Sal never, ever appear, or having Faz join the DoA cast and somehow turn him into the most well-adjusted, likable character of the bunch?
Watch, in this universe Faz is a well-adjusted, polite, helpful, respectful and acknowledged sibling of Amber, who has all the ladies throwing themselves at him. Of course, he’ll be far too much of a gentlemen to take advantage of that.
Not to mention that would *hopefully* mean that he didn’t grow up as the son of a female member of the Korean Mafia… That would probably help him being better adjusted…
Can you call “shenanigans” on this? I mean, can’t you only call “shenanigans” on something when you’ve been cheated somehow. If Faz is here, that’s not really Willis cheating us on anything, since he didn’t promise us “no Faz”. Unless… he did, and I missed it…?
Amanzing girl is amanzing so she can kick anyone’s asses expect Mike’s. I wonder if Glassco is trying to recruit people for his store through College. Or either that he’s the new Econamics proffeor. That’ll make a cool GI Joe vs Cobra angle
I hope The Faz is in College and compets agaist Joe. That would rock.
Maybe the cast of Shortpacked are in college doing college like stuff. Who knows maybe Mike or Glassco runs the ROTC program there.
I THOUGHT that it looked more like a cape and short hair rather than long hair, since long hair doesn’t flow from the shoulders…but I wanted it to be Sal so bad I dismissed it…
At first I was sad that it wasn’t Sal…but then I realized that Sal is obviously off being a ninja for the Vatican, who, not wanting to tell the Walkertons that they’ve been using their daughter for crazy covert-ops for years, are forging all of her attendance records and grades, as well as moving some stuff into her room.
Awesome! I think that in all of the theorizing, many of us (myself included) forgot that the Shortpacked cast is in the same universe as the other guys & as such, could enter this strip as well. (Of course this could just be a one-off.)
Watch Sal have a regular mundane appearance. She’ll be seen walking into her dorm room, eating nachos & saying “Sup?”
Good GOD I really hope not…I’ll be pretty disappointed if he ends up pulling that dick move (but not MAD, I’m hoping if he does it, he’ll do it for the good of the story and if THAT’S the case I will completely understand). Aside from being a Sal fan, I was actually kinda curious to see how Sal and Billie interact (two girls who, in an alternate universe, were both Dannys love interest) especially as roommates..not sure it means much in THIS universe, though. I kinda despise Billie (no, not because she was a cheerleader, I like cheer-leading and think is badass how much and how often they risk their lives.. I hate the fact Billie is a total bongo to just about EVERYONE for no particularly good reason other than shes just a friggin prick who needs to get over the fact shes a nobody in college), so I secretly hope Billie just gives everyone too much crap (namely, Walky, for example) and Sal just totally beats the ever-lovin’ sh*t out of her, quite fed up with her douchebaggery.
Hmmm, admittedly I love Sals accent, but I wouldn’t mind if she talked normal…which IS a possibility…but the “stayed with Walkys family” (I *THINK*) isn’t clarified HOW LONG she stayed with them…according to Walkys conversations with Billie (and his twitter posts) Sal was sent away to catholic school (I’m assuming for the majority of her life, given Billie never spoke of knowing Sal as much as she knew Walky, which was since before high-school), a school that could have been located in the south, hence gaining Sal her accent. Again, its speculation, and Sals school might not be anywhere where she could gain a southern accent, but I wouldn’t rule out the possibility JUST YET ^ ^;;
“PositivAmb That was a productive night. Of WoWing. ”
Quote from Amber’s tweet. Obviously everytime she says she’s playing WoW, she’s actually running around as Amazi-girl. And she’s climbing the gazebo for crosstraining/ because she has a well-honed comic geek sense genre savvy and had to get the moon behind her head.
Given that the comments managed to predict every part of todays comic, including the “I’m Batman” introduction, I’m starting to wonder if Willis either reads the comments and the draws whichever strip would fuck with our heads the most or is secretly posting spoilers under a false name.
If you read enough of his comics I bet you could build a computer program that could predict the plot lines. However, that would require a lot of coding and several degrees in non-related fields…
I find I am completely comfortable with this. I love Sal to death, and I’m somewhat ambivalent about Danny, so I’m fine with a twist on the canon relationships.
Seriously, though-I hope the catholic school was an excuse to give Sal a Southern accent (And possibly make her the proverbial ‘Naughty Schoolgirl’) Because I just can’t imagine her without it.
Also, I suspect I’ll get a new Gravatar with this post. I hope it’s a good one, ‘cuz I Ioved my Dina one.
Drat, my outside prediction of it being a Faz that i could tolerate on a normal basis, it’s Amazi-Girl, unless it’s like Queen Bee from Super Stupor who’s famous for the “Justice Tuck.”
Fun. I still feel like it’s going to be a few storylines before this comic stops feeling gimmicky, but I think eventually that’ll happen. Once it works itself out.
I’m really amused at all the folks who are either thrilled that it’s Amber or annoyed that it’s Amber. Just because Amber is Amazi-Girl in the Walkyverse doesn’t mean she’s Amazi-Girl in the DOAverse. It doesn’t even mean she exists.
Honestly, one of the great things about that brownish bowl cut of hair is it would be easy to hide almost any hairstyle underneath that wig. Beyond that, we’ve had no clear look at her body, no good way to judge her height — even her eye color isn’t clear, and even if it were colored contacts are cheap.
All we know is that Amazi-Girl just saved Danny from punks. We don’t know anything else.
And is, in fact, one of the most prolific tweeters in the group… I haven’t done an actual count, and Mike and Joyce are pretty chatty, too, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Amber turned out to be the single most common tweeter of the lost.
…badass. But Sal needs to jump through a window. NEEDS TO. At least once. I mean, she could throw someone through one too, I guess..She could throw Billie through after finding her drunk, perhaps. xD?
I wonder what Amazi-Girl’s origin might be in this universe. Clearly Amber must be more skilled and confident than in the Shortpacked! universe, if she’s actually going out on patrol. I wonder if her father is still the monster he is in the other strip.
I gotta admit, I did consider Amber/Amazi-Girl, but thought “Naw, seems like Willis is going for a more realistic approach to this strip.” Damn you Willis. Damn your crafty ways.
Actually this is rather interesting twist and I will surey enjoy its interesting consequences. Unless its really a double twist >.> *Watches in horror as Amazi-Girl puls off her mask to reveal: Honeybun*
I’ve been following this comic since Randy started linking it on S*P, and I’ve read through all of Shortpacked, Walky, etc, but I’m having trouble adjusting to this one…let me make sure I’m getting this straight – so, you took a bunch of characters from Shortpacked, Walky, and Roomies, completely erased all previous storyline from each character, made a couple look slightly different, and tossed them into a college setting just like Roomies, but not quite?
I…I guess I just don’t “get it”. Why not just create a new comic around a new concept with new characters? Maybe I’m being ridiculous, but I don’t think so.
I was just thinking to myself that it would be awesome if it were Amazi-girl, and boom there she is. That must be some kind of super power of mine, i can conjure up superheroes by thinking of them.
you know I really didn’t notice until now but now that I do I really love the reversal of the Mysterious Super Hero/Damsel in Distress arc here. Including the mysterious stranger beginning.
Loading ...
Saw that comming…
Oh noez I made a first… now I’m in the catagory of people with no lives… 🙁
Hey! I’m one of those people and I have a life. I just have barely anything to do at work.
Also, Woo! Bad ass Amazi-Girl! But it makes me wonder where Sal is.
I have a job like that, my job is litterally to si tin a chair and occasionaly change the paper in the printer and give directions…
Spend nine years at Wal*Mart. You’d kill to get that job back.
I have a life. Also, sleep disorders.
I have sleep disorders too, but I’m usally busy reading other things…
I can totally believe you saw that coming.
I am, however, unsure whether your pun was intentional.
I thought it could’ve been Mike, but Amber makes it better
DAMN YOU WILLIS!!!
That was awesome.
damn you willis ;_;
Can she fly or just jump good?
Is that a Samurai Jack reference?
Wonderella. She can’t fly, but she can jump hella high.
Yes, yes it is…
A Samurai Jack reference that is…
Which is awesome.
Epic!
Bwha-hahahahahahaha!
Okay, so it wasn’t Faz, but I was close.
Danny and Amber, sitting in a tree.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
Until I light the tree on fire…
*Que evil laugh*
I do believe you mean until Mike lights the tree on fire, drags Amber away, and next week they start banging.
Naw I’d be the one to set it on fire, as far as I can tell Mike doesn’t carry a flame thrower everywhere he goes… (Unlike me) But I’d be more then happy to let Mike drag away Amber if he wanted her… Besides if Mike was the one to do it I doubt Amber would date him, after all would you date the guy who burned your boyfriend to death? :I
WELL. I feel dissapointed somehow.
So, I guess because she wasn’t avoiding her dad, she found time to be Amazi-Girl faster? Iiiinteresting…
Also, can Amazi-Girl breathe in space?
no but she’s immune to criticism. <— HEY WILLIS YOU FORGOT SOMETHING!!!
Damn it…. Where’s Sal?!? Though I did guess this to be true…
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIS!!!!
(except that it’s awesome to see Amazi-Girl in the DoA-Verse)
You echo my thoughts.
Does anyone else think that Dorothy looks just like Amber except for being blonde?
I made a guess to that effect yesterday.
Yes, Dorothy was AKA “Blonde Amber” in one of the first few comics on here.
But, but, Dorothy has EARS!
Wait… it’s… not Sal?!
Most of us figured that out in the last strip. This is more of a confirmation than a reveal.
However, it just means that Sal’s actual introduction is guaranteed to be even more awesome.
I for one bet Sal’s introduction will be a total subversion of everyone’s expectations. Maybe Catholic school worked out and she and Joyce will be best church buddies forever.
Well, until today’s comic (Which now looks more clearly like a cape), it looked like her cape was actually part of her hair, making it longer and looking more like Sal’s. That’s why I figured it’d be Sal. Even now I see it as long hair, not a cape, in yesterday’s comic.
Or not awesome at all. Sal could be utterly quiet and unassuming, or as Billie suspects she could be a total goddball. What with not having to be moved around her whole life, not witnessing the death of her (not)parents, what cause would she have to become a psycho badass?
Having to put up with Catholic School.
seconded
Amen.
What a tweest!
*facepalm*
I was hoping for Sal, but that is still epic. Now the question is, how’d she get that level of training?
Amber has demonstrated a respectable level of fighting prowess in SP!, and has clobbered Mike and Robin. I’m assuming she’s just naturally strong and/or talented.
That or Ethan got her into Batman.
I guess so, but I’m still hoping it’s somehow related to the Korean Mafia. I know Willis said there would be no aliens and none of their effects, but I don’t think he ever said no Korean Mafia.
As for why I hope this, I have no answer.
Hopefully this means Danny will forget all about Dorothy and focus on discerning Amazi-Girl’s true identity. Something tells me he’ll meet Amber out of costume and not know who she is. That’s how these things work.
Also, did the third panel remind anybody else of Kick-Ass?
To be honest, it reminded me of everytime Batman says “I’m Batman!” in SP!
me too
Reminded me of the way Micheal Keaton said it in the 1989 batman movie.
hmm. Went from that red haired girl, to Joyce and now Leslie. lol
Also Danny’s complete lack of chasing after Dorothy will get to her no end! (be careful what you wish for!)
Cue Joe thinking Danny is a fruitloop after he tells him… God Please let this happen! Joe’s face would be awesome!
Or in a twist he knows who she is and ruins her secret identity, causing the football players to seek revenge and other bad things to happen.
Whoa. Did not see that coming.
I didn’t even consider the possibility that it might NOT be Sal! Maybe I should have read the comments….
Come on, the hair was WAY too rounded for Sal’s =D
lolololol
Looking back, though, it’s pretty obvious he juxtaposed the shadow of the cape over the shadow of the hair to purposefully make it look more like it could be Sal’s hair. So I think my false assumption was justified.
Besides, it’s not like I inspected the figure all that much; I just saw a female jump out of nowhere and beat up some dude. Considering the two characters, how much more would you expect to see Sal doing such a thing than Amber? (A lot more, that’s how much.)
That makes two of us.
what is this i dont even
But I thought Amazi-Girl’s only superpower was immunity to criticism, not kicking ass.
Apparently DOA Amazi-Girl kicks ass.
You don’t have to have superpowers to kick ass. It helps, but it’s certainly not required.
She’s immune to people criticizing HOW she kicks-ass.
It just occured to me: why is Amber climbing that? Where is she going to roof jump to? I would find it even more distressing if I didn’t do the exact same thing in Assassin’s Creed all the time.
The 4th rule of the assassin is “An assassin must never use the streets, he can only jump from roof to roof because it’s more bad ass”.
Trees or something, man. You never just walk away from a fight. If you can’t fly, you have to roof-run. This is superhero 101.
Also, I’m apparently Mary now. I wish the random avatar generator would make up it’s mind on me.
It’s because Willis is adding more Avatars to the mix; for instance, Amazi-Girl is now a possible selection.
*holds breath and wonders who I’ll be*
Having used surprise as part of her ass-kicking of the fratboys. Amazi-Girl is taking to the high ground, both in case she needs to quickly move elsewhere and so that if she needs to communicate with the near-victim, she can do so in a way that reveals little of her body (it’s not easy to even determine height when you see someone at night in dark clothing twenty feet away while they’re crouched and you’re looking up).
Amazi-girl has clearly been doing this for a while.
YESSSSSS.
I hoped. I hoped so dearly. Yet I did not believe it could be true.
If Danny and Amber engage in a drawn-out romantic-comedy storyline culminating in a big dramatic splash-panel print-worthy kiss, that would be AWESOME.
(I love hyphens)
DAMN YOU WILLIS
(hi)
Wow, Danny’s making pretty good time across campus..
Ah, ok, so it wasn’t Sal but this “Amazi-Girl” (I’m assuming shes Amber from the webcomic “Short-packed”, correct?) I heard about in previous comments..ok, cool (it sorta suits the story more when I stop and think about it: mystery woman vs. alternate universe girlfriend)~ Shes epic and pretty.
But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make Sal’s first appearance be just as epic! PLEASE I BEG OF YOU! ; ~ ; (it may or may not have to involve motorcycles…)
No motorcycles necessary. But some one must either jump through, or be thrown out, a window when Sal is introduced. Otherwise, I’m going on strike.
Agreeable statement is agreeable. I agree with this agreeable statement! : D
I like Amber (from what little I’ve seen of her as I skimmed over a few strips of “Short-packed”) but there’s just something about Sal that makes me a huge fan of her o:
That and I’m a huge fan of Walky and “Walky x Joyce”.
Okay, I’ve gotta ask. Is that your personal Gravatar, or were you randomly assigned it? Because if it’s random then, wow.
its my personal gravitar. I looked through the “Its Walky!” prints and found “The many faces of Sal” and I absolutely loved it. I really want a Sal icon ^ ^;;
(or did you mean the “Amazi-girl” icon I had for a few minutes? I kinda cropped it from the comic because it was an epic substitute for the time being until I found a Sal icon)
oh fantastic. I was not expecting and Shortpacked! characters to get involved
Alright, you got me, Willis. But I like it.
I’d be more interested if Amazigirl (Amber) didn’t look so much like Danny’s ex.
and I get stuck with her as a Gravatar, awesome.
That should make things way MORE interesting, if you think about it.
I kinda like this. He’s got a type: short girls with neck-length hair and glasses. He starts chasing after Amber, much to Dorothy’s dismay.
You totally called it.
Fun random barely-applicable aside: When I was in high school, I knew of a friend-of-a-friend named Danny, who was known to dress in drag and call himself Amber (apparently, he wasn’t all that good at it, either). I was just reminded of this, and now I’ll never be able to state “Danny/Amber OTP” (true though it’s suddenly become) without being reminded of this.
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR COINCIDENTAL CHOICE OF NAMES FOR CHARACTERS WHO WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO MEET AS ORIGINALLY CREATED, WILLIS
Hm.
Thought we were staying more or less reality-based this time around…
Amber was never abducted, and she still managed to kick the crap out of Mike and Robin. She’s just naturally that strong. Plus, she’s Ethan’s best friend in this continuity, so he probably got her hooked on Batman or something.
Realism =/= Reality.
how do we know that she and Ethan are BFFs? Is there something I’ve missed?
Willis said so at the panel where he announced the comic. There’s a video link in the third blog post.
What I meant was, “I did not expect a masked vigilante beating up thugs & leaping onto buildings etc. I thought Amazi-Girl would stay with the aliens & drama tag & talking car. I am surprised to see her in the strip that I assumed to be mostly about college hijinks. Hm.”
I wasn’t questioning Amber’s strength in general, but the usage of it. Obviously after Ruth tossed Billie like a used tissue I knew comics physics were in play, but this is a direction I did not see coming.
But thanks for the condescension anyway.
It’s entirely possible to huck a cheerleader over your shoulder without cartoon physics, you just have to know what you’re doing if you don’t want to wreck yourself in the process.
I was also not expecting Amazi-Girl to carry over, but I could still see it happening at an actual university with a proper amount of functional mental disorder. She’ll be legendary, of course. I mean, The Mad Shitter of Texas Instruments was real, why not Amazi-girl?
http://www.wikihow.com/Throw-Someone-over-Your-Shoulder
I want a super hero whose powers come solely from browsing Wikipedia.
That guy could rival even BATMAN with being crazy prepared… If he read all of Wikipedia…
Ooh ooh! Amber describes herself as “mild-mannered” in her twitter! Just like a secret identity should be!
I’m guessing Amber has contacts or has gotten lasik surgery in this universe, wearing non-prescription lenses when not Amazi-girl. (or she switches, in the contacts case). I got the impression in Shortpacked her vision was pretty bad, bad enough that landing those exact kicks and punches would be quite a feat.
I can’t see far at all without my glasses, but I still take them off for any kind of sparring or fighting.
You don’t need to be able to see anything more than blurs to fight without glasses. My vision sucks, you just select targets based on the color of the blurs and knowledge of where people should be. What you absolutely cannot do is read long distance.
Now I know who the brniay one is, I’ll keep looking for your posts.
If Danny and Amber end up getting together as some people are suggesting, I’m going on strike. I simply cannot imagine a world where Amber/Mike doesn’t exist.
To be Honest, And a lot of folks may hate me for sayin this, I hope that none of the characters end up in the same relationships as the were in the walkyverse. Mostly because that would be too predictable.
Agreed.
I add this sentence so that this isn’t a one-word post. 🙂
Damn you Willis!
Ok, back to our regularly scheduled obsessively examining strips for windows that Sal could conceivably burst through at any minute…
Prediction that I’m sure won’t happen (but it would be awesome if it did): The football players gather reinforcments and get the jump on Amazi-Girl. As the are about to attack Sal jumps (no, backflips) through a ring of fire on a motorcycle, jumps off while the bike is still upside-down, and her and Amazi-Gilr proceed to kick all their asses.
Then, pirates attack and Ninja Rick joins the fight.
I vote for THIS turn of events!
…seconded
I imagine Sal’s entrance is going to make everyone say, “Damn you, Willis,” all over again.
Dick.
PS: Third panel would make a great poster on my wall. Like, huge freakin’ poster.
And I could roller skate underneath it and hope it falls on me when I’m not wearing underwear.
I’m pretty sure this is more disturbing then the time a guy asked for someone to photoshop the coverings off three naked girls in Shortpacked!…
Wow, that was weird.
And now, something I rarely get to do.
*clears throat*
CALLED IT!
Half the people here called it. You only get to do that if you were the only one who did.
That was awesome!
All I can say is “Hell Yeah!” I did not expect, and am utterly thrilled beyond words.
Ohhh Yes! Woohoo!
So Amber is a real super hero in this universe? That’s neat if so.
Well this is supposed to be a reboot and damn that’s what we got!!!
Wait… WHAT?!?!
oooh, my face has changed. Neat!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
::whistles::
That’s not Amber; Amber is spider-car.
At least, I’m pretty sure.
OH SNAP.
And here I was expecting Sal…
But, timeline!
See, this is a sign Willis is running out of character ideas, Brunnette Dorothy? For shame Willis, for shame :p
Also, it looks like I can now breathe in space, awesome.
Except of course that, in the Walkyverse, Dorothy came after Amber, during a time when Amber had long poofy hair. Amber later got a makeover during that time, giving her a hairstyle similar to Dorothy’s.
Also, Amber and Dorothy are completely different personality-wise.
This entire comic could be argued as proof Willis is running out of character ideas, however, if not ideas for his characters.
Gee, I wonder if Scully might’ve been using sarcasm.
Gee, I wonder why people think that sarcasm–a practice based entirely in vocal inflection, with no real way to convey it in text whatsoever–works well in text.
The “:P” smiley gives it away
Yeah, I tend to use :p or ;p as markers of sarcasm or “this statement is clearly joking” online, just cause you can’t you intonation in a none phonological medium, sorry if I seemed liek I was deliberately trying to infuriate you Wackd
I always make sure to give my sarcasm tags when in use, just to avoid confusion…
Never posted a comment before, but this rates one. Just awesome. I’m a happy camper. 🙂
Oh, so it was Ultracar, after all.
Wait….
Wait…. WHAT?
I think my head just broke.
And now my Gravitar is Amazigirl (Replacing Mike, which replaced Aslan). That just adds MORE to it.
I think it would be funny as hell if there is no Amber, just Dorothy in a herosuit with contacts and a wig.
All of the commentors weeing themselves over characters from that earlier comic as if anything about them were applicable to the new continuity really does add an extra level of interactive hilarity to DOA. It’s like Willis was just barking into a paper bag when he told everyone right out of the gate that most of these characters were going to be radically different since none of them have been fscked with by aliens.
I hope Sal first appears wordlessly in the background as a cashier at the Smoovy Smoov frozen yogurt and smoothie bar in the local mall’s food court or something. That would be fuggin’ hilarious.
But we’ve already seen Dorothy and Amber simultaneously at the hall meeting thingy. And Willis has attempted to defend the two of them as distinct character designs beyond hair color.
We COULD still get the swerve of having Amazi-Girl NOT be Amber, but I hope not.
What amuses me is everyone waiting to see Jason. Because Jason in It’s Walky was not from the Walkyverse. For all we know, the Jason that appeared in It’s Walky could have his origins in the DoA universe thus leading to no Jason appearing in DoA.
For the record, I’m absolutely sure that’s incorrect. I’m just sayin’ it’s a possiblity.
That would be bad.. IIRC Jason’s original universe was destroyed.
Jason is Amazigirl. He’s that good at makeup and nobody would expect it.
AMAZI-GIRL IS IMMUNE TO CRITICISM
DAMN YOU WILLIS.
…
Actually wait, that’s maybe even more awesome. Wooo!
Still want to see Sal though I’m suspecting she’ll be on the more Joyce than Amazi-girl end of the scale now looking back over the strips…
Nah I’m just going to go with Damn you Willis
Dammit … I thought it was Spider-Car
HOLY SHIT I TOTALLY THOUGHT THAT WAS SAL.
Why is Amber so badass already, though? Is she a little older than the rest of the cast and a teacher or something, like Leslie? AUGH SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Willis has stated that he doesn’t want to go over the same character arcs that people have already read, so either he’ll be going about it differently like in Danny’s case, or it’s already happened, just offscreen and under slightly different circumstances.
I’ve got a geek friend who went to ninja training camp in high school. Seriously. NINJA TRAINING CAMP. Never underestimate the fanaticism of the geek.
Amber is at least a Freshman. We saw a corner of her face in Ruth’s floor orientation meeting/impromptu wrestling match.
I was actually wondering the same things…
1.) Wouldn’t Amber be old enough to be a teacher/ student teacher (or at least a junior/senior)? I thought she was older than a college freshman…
2.) Doesn’t she wear glasses? I wonder if Danny finds out her secret identity by discovering Ambers contacts… (if she even needs glasses/contacts in this universe)
3.) Is she completely redesigned to be the age as the other cast members?
1. If we’re going by Amber’s age in Shortpacked!, then yeah, she’d be too old to be a freshman. Then again, so would Danny, considering he’s 31.
2. Yeah, she wears glasses. It’s not really clear because she’s only in the background for the meeting, but she still has the white ovals over her eyes.
3. EVERYONE’S redesigned to be around the age for college freshmen.
Remember, most everyone from It’s Walky is in their 30’s. Amber’s actually younger than them.
Oooooh, ok.
Yikes, Dannys 31? Whoa…
Ah, ok, just making sure if she wore them in this universe or not.
Oooooh; ok, thank you so much for answering my questions!
ohoho.. Ah I just got the joke… Haha.. Amazigirl indeed.
So this is what it’s like to be pissed and pleased with Willis and the same time. I think I’m no longer a newbie. I have now experienced what long time Willis fans have many times before.
Damn you Willis.
Yes… let the hatred/frustration/awesomeness consume you.
Wouldn’t that be awestration?
“hawestration?”
Nah, that sounds like a laughing fest.
Or a bad hanky panky site…
… that sounds too much like hawt castration. Maybe it still works?
Now that was an awesome reveal! Well played sir, well played.
i honestly think it be helarious if sal ended up being a completely normal person or even a nun but she has the cumpulsion to enter and exit locations by crashing through the nearest window
Danny is going to end up as this universe’s Mary Jane, isn’t he?
Considering the way the spider-man comics are going, that might be interesting.
I really hope so. :/ I hope hes forced the emasculating role of “damsel in distress”.
I don’t HATE Danny, per say, but I don’t LIKE him, either.
In “Roomies!” I understand he loved Sal (honestly, who can blame him for falling for SAL?) and she was his girlfriend, so of course when Joyce came around he had to turn to her down (because you DO NOT F*CKING CHEAT ON SAL).
I understand he was crushed and vulnerable (very much like he was before Amazi-girl when Dorothy dumped him) and did in fact consider going out with Joyce for all of ten seconds until Joyce pulled a dick move (I love Joyce a lot and find her very charming, but even I’ll admit what she did was really really REALLY low) on him and told her parents they were ENGAGED the very night he went to confront her about a POSSIBLE romantic relationship between them after being dumped by Sal. This insane and jerkish (its not cute fantasizing, its LYING TO YOUR PARENTS about a relationship status, which is pretty high on a scale of one to pathetic right along there with living in their basement) act ruined her chances with Danny understandably.
I even understand how their personalities aren’t compatible (even if it didn’t take Joyces dick move to realize it) and that Joyce is the type were you either love or hate, no real middle ground.
But what made me detest Danny was that HE LED HER ON. He never seriously got it across to Joyce that he wasn’t interested in her that way. (No, Joes actions against Joyce don’t count because Joyce could EASILY have seen them as he was jealous she could steal Danny away) He continued to let Joyce believe there was a glimmer of hope with him when there was none and was possibly her friend out of pity.
Even RUTH, who barely saw them interact could tell what game Danny was playing. (God I need a life, I think way too much on this comics story because I love it so durn much…D: )
A truly epic end to the week, Willis. You leave me with plot twisty questions and bated breath for next week’s comics.
Damn you Willis.
HOLY CRAP!
I was so expecting Sal.
Okay, that was just plain awesome.
I call shenanigans! If Amber is here, that means that there will be a good chance that the rest of Shotpacked will be here, and that means Faz. DO NOT WANT!
Oh God! Faz in College… Competing with Joe! that’s probably the funniest thing I’ve ever thought of.
Except Joe will be succeeding. Faz will desperately try to set himself up as Joe’s equal and rival, but it Will Not Work.
Does Not Happen?
It doesn’t really matter what you scream at Faz, if you scream it loud enugh he’ll run away.
That, or Faz and Amber really and truly ARE siblings in this universe. As in grew up together.
What would be the bigger dick move – having Sal never, ever appear, or having Faz join the DoA cast and somehow turn him into the most well-adjusted, likable character of the bunch?
But is it a dick move if it justifies us feeling sorry for Faz in recent SP! strips?
But this *isn’t* the Shortpacked crew, that’s kinda the whole point.
Oh goooood.
I was afraid Willis had completely lost it and began crossing his webcomics over with themselves. With time-warps. Again.
If Faz is there, he should be a skipped a grade or two genius twerp. It would just make things even more amusing.
Watch, in this universe Faz is a well-adjusted, polite, helpful, respectful and acknowledged sibling of Amber, who has all the ladies throwing themselves at him. Of course, he’ll be far too much of a gentlemen to take advantage of that.
OMG, Faz dates Catholic-Sal!
No, in this universe, Faz and Amber actually grew up together, so he actually had an older sibling to keep him from being too messed up.
I miss the Mike avatar. It makes sarcasm so much easier.
Not to mention that would *hopefully* mean that he didn’t grow up as the son of a female member of the Korean Mafia… That would probably help him being better adjusted…
So, Zaph from McAwesomes?
Can you call “shenanigans” on this? I mean, can’t you only call “shenanigans” on something when you’ve been cheated somehow. If Faz is here, that’s not really Willis cheating us on anything, since he didn’t promise us “no Faz”. Unless… he did, and I missed it…?
Whoot I called it!!!!
Amanzing girl is amanzing so she can kick anyone’s asses expect Mike’s. I wonder if Glassco is trying to recruit people for his store through College. Or either that he’s the new Econamics proffeor. That’ll make a cool GI Joe vs Cobra angle
I hope The Faz is in College and compets agaist Joe. That would rock.
Maybe the cast of Shortpacked are in college doing college like stuff. Who knows maybe Mike or Glassco runs the ROTC program there.
Maybe. Mike did make an appearance in one of the earlier strips.
No, Galasso is a priest at the school Sal went to silly :O
No, not really although that would be really funny…
“What a twist!” – spoken in an indian accent.
I THOUGHT that it looked more like a cape and short hair rather than long hair, since long hair doesn’t flow from the shoulders…but I wanted it to be Sal so bad I dismissed it…
Wait, I liked being Sarah!
At first I was sad that it wasn’t Sal…but then I realized that Sal is obviously off being a ninja for the Vatican, who, not wanting to tell the Walkertons that they’ve been using their daughter for crazy covert-ops for years, are forging all of her attendance records and grades, as well as moving some stuff into her room.
So it’s not Dick Cheney?
Awesome! I think that in all of the theorizing, many of us (myself included) forgot that the Shortpacked cast is in the same universe as the other guys & as such, could enter this strip as well. (Of course this could just be a one-off.)
Watch Sal have a regular mundane appearance. She’ll be seen walking into her dorm room, eating nachos & saying “Sup?”
Booya! Totally called it dood!
Amaz…
Willis, you magnificent bastard.
I READ YOUR BOOK!
Wow, I was actually being sarcastic yesterday…cool!
Well Lost that bet!
I find myself suspecting that when Sal turns up everyone will be outraged.
– not an abductee. Jumping through windows = glasscut to death.
– no parents killed by HA. No rage.
– stayed with Walky’s family – no southern accent.
Okay, obviously Willis could work around all this, but if he doesn’t, I expect to see rage.
Glorious, delicious rage. Mm-mm! 🙂
I’m still maintaining that she’ll never show outside of third-party references along the lines of, “Oh, I talked to Sal earlier and she said. . .”
It shall be the ultimate DAMN YOU, WILLIS!
And then I shall personally remove you from time.
That would be AWESOME.
Good GOD I really hope not…I’ll be pretty disappointed if he ends up pulling that dick move (but not MAD, I’m hoping if he does it, he’ll do it for the good of the story and if THAT’S the case I will completely understand). Aside from being a Sal fan, I was actually kinda curious to see how Sal and Billie interact (two girls who, in an alternate universe, were both Dannys love interest) especially as roommates..not sure it means much in THIS universe, though. I kinda despise Billie (no, not because she was a cheerleader, I like cheer-leading and think is badass how much and how often they risk their lives.. I hate the fact Billie is a total bongo to just about EVERYONE for no particularly good reason other than shes just a friggin prick who needs to get over the fact shes a nobody in college), so I secretly hope Billie just gives everyone too much crap (namely, Walky, for example) and Sal just totally beats the ever-lovin’ sh*t out of her, quite fed up with her douchebaggery.
Hmmm, admittedly I love Sals accent, but I wouldn’t mind if she talked normal…which IS a possibility…but the “stayed with Walkys family” (I *THINK*) isn’t clarified HOW LONG she stayed with them…according to Walkys conversations with Billie (and his twitter posts) Sal was sent away to catholic school (I’m assuming for the majority of her life, given Billie never spoke of knowing Sal as much as she knew Walky, which was since before high-school), a school that could have been located in the south, hence gaining Sal her accent. Again, its speculation, and Sals school might not be anywhere where she could gain a southern accent, but I wouldn’t rule out the possibility JUST YET ^ ^;;
Maybe Sal will have a scottish accent, stolen from another girl at the mystery canadian catholic school.
Whoa! What a twist, making Sal this universe’s Amazi-Girl!
Yes!
Maybe Amber and Mike live near the College and Maybe Mikes a RA.? Sounds plausable to me.
Mike is Walky’s roommate and Amber was at the floor meeting (and is Dina’s roommate). How did you miss this?
I just did.
Oh well Mike for RA.
I wonder is Glassco would be running the ROTC program. He probally would look for more “recruits” for his World Donimation plan
Now that you say it…I want Mike to be an R.A.
“PositivAmb That was a productive night. Of WoWing. ”
Quote from Amber’s tweet. Obviously everytime she says she’s playing WoW, she’s actually running around as Amazi-girl. And she’s climbing the gazebo for crosstraining/ because she has a well-honed comic geek sense genre savvy and had to get the moon behind her head.
Given that the comments managed to predict every part of todays comic, including the “I’m Batman” introduction, I’m starting to wonder if Willis either reads the comments and the draws whichever strip would fuck with our heads the most or is secretly posting spoilers under a false name.
I’m a month ahead on strips, so drawing them to respond to comments is something that can’t ever happen, for better or for worse.
Unless you steal a time machine!
We live with the physicist, so this is impossible.
In that case, some of us are psychic. I find this disturbing.
…or we can just guess where Willis’ mind goes with plot.
If you read enough of his comics I bet you could build a computer program that could predict the plot lines. However, that would require a lot of coding and several degrees in non-related fields…
I find I am completely comfortable with this. I love Sal to death, and I’m somewhat ambivalent about Danny, so I’m fine with a twist on the canon relationships.
Seriously, though-I hope the catholic school was an excuse to give Sal a Southern accent (And possibly make her the proverbial ‘Naughty Schoolgirl’) Because I just can’t imagine her without it.
Also, I suspect I’ll get a new Gravatar with this post. I hope it’s a good one, ‘cuz I Ioved my Dina one.
I’m actually fine with it being Amazigirl. But now I want Sal to show up, DYW.
It never registered she was a non meta mask. Amazi-Girl is not long for this world.
Blam blam.
ugh amber ? really ? amber annoys me more than roz. yes, roz.
willis, i am disappoint.
Who’s Amber? You heard her, she’s Amazi-Girl.
alternate universe, remember? Don’t judge her by the Shortpacked version.
You know… for all we know, Amazi-girl could be Sal in this universe. Nothing says for sure that she’s Amber. PLOT TWIST!!
Drat, my outside prediction of it being a Faz that i could tolerate on a normal basis, it’s Amazi-Girl, unless it’s like Queen Bee from Super Stupor who’s famous for the “Justice Tuck.”
Nine…
Damn You Willis was said NINE times.
Better make it ten…
DAMN YOU WILLIS!!!!!
Erhem…
*Hopes he gets Mike or Walky*
I was expecting a lot more DYWs. I’m disappointed.
I personally try to avoid thoose words, however I will throw in a CURSE YOU MR. WILLIS when I think its nessary.
I always make it a point ot be respectful to the people I’m cursing…
Fun. I still feel like it’s going to be a few storylines before this comic stops feeling gimmicky, but I think eventually that’ll happen. Once it works itself out.
I wonder why Amber took on the Amazi-Girl alias in this reality
Anyway..maybe Sal will be a normal catholic school girl in this reality after all….
I’m really amused at all the folks who are either thrilled that it’s Amber or annoyed that it’s Amber. Just because Amber is Amazi-Girl in the Walkyverse doesn’t mean she’s Amazi-Girl in the DOAverse. It doesn’t even mean she exists.
Honestly, one of the great things about that brownish bowl cut of hair is it would be easy to hide almost any hairstyle underneath that wig. Beyond that, we’ve had no clear look at her body, no good way to judge her height — even her eye color isn’t clear, and even if it were colored contacts are cheap.
All we know is that Amazi-Girl just saved Danny from punks. We don’t know anything else.
Yet. 🙂
> Just because Amber is Amazi-Girl in the Walkyverse doesn’t mean she’s Amazi-Girl in the DOAverse. It doesn’t even mean she exists.
Behind Sarah in p2: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/01-move-in-day/stragglers/
Also: http://twitter.com/PositivAmb
Actually, we know that Amber exists in this universe because the DOA twitter includes her
And is, in fact, one of the most prolific tweeters in the group… I haven’t done an actual count, and Mike and Joyce are pretty chatty, too, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Amber turned out to be the single most common tweeter of the lost.
And she was at the floor meeting.
…badass. But Sal needs to jump through a window. NEEDS TO. At least once. I mean, she could throw someone through one too, I guess..She could throw Billie through after finding her drunk, perhaps. xD?
I am always in favor of some defenestration.
Come on people, can’t you see it? Amazi-Girl isn’t Amber, it is Faz!
Yes, because according to Robin DeSanto, Amber is clearly Spider-Car
Of course, in this universe, does Amazi-Girl necessarily have to be Amber? Sal with shorter hair maybe? I wouldn’t bet against it.
Hai Amber! XP
I wonder what Amazi-Girl’s origin might be in this universe. Clearly Amber must be more skilled and confident than in the Shortpacked! universe, if she’s actually going out on patrol. I wonder if her father is still the monster he is in the other strip.
I gotta admit, I did consider Amber/Amazi-Girl, but thought “Naw, seems like Willis is going for a more realistic approach to this strip.” Damn you Willis. Damn your crafty ways.
And aww… I wanted to an Amazi-girl avatar.
Four Mike avas in a row. That’s sort of frighting in a if-I-were-Amber-I’d-Be-Turned-On sort of way.
Can’t have too many Mikes in my opinion, he goes great with EVERYTHING.
I am SO relieved to see this is a universe with superheroes. I was afraid Willis was slowly embarking on a tragic descent into realism.
PS How can Amazi-Girl exist in this universe? Joe’s too young to build Ultracar just yet.
No no, you see: Amber is Spider-Car, but we don’t know who Amazi-Girl is.
Wow, amazing twist.
From the boot, I once had a nagging feeling it was Amazi-Girl.
Well played, Willis.
YEAH!!! Knew it wasn’t Sal! Called that!
Oh my… Amazi-Girl got to unleash her DoA can of whup-ass. OK David now can Mike appear and kick Danny in the nuts just to add insult to injury?
Best. Twist. Ever.
I…I was not expecting that…
She wishes she was batman…
Also, the mike avatar looks very annoyed at Amazi-girl.
DAMN YOU WILLI-
Actually this is rather interesting twist and I will surey enjoy its interesting consequences. Unless its really a double twist >.> *Watches in horror as Amazi-Girl puls off her mask to reveal: Honeybun*
Hmm… Amazi-Girl’s colour scheme is inversed. Interesting.
Whoops. I was looking at her first costume. Disregard that; I’m not fully awake yet.
I’ve been following this comic since Randy started linking it on S*P, and I’ve read through all of Shortpacked, Walky, etc, but I’m having trouble adjusting to this one…let me make sure I’m getting this straight – so, you took a bunch of characters from Shortpacked, Walky, and Roomies, completely erased all previous storyline from each character, made a couple look slightly different, and tossed them into a college setting just like Roomies, but not quite?
I…I guess I just don’t “get it”. Why not just create a new comic around a new concept with new characters? Maybe I’m being ridiculous, but I don’t think so.
http://www.formspring.me/shortpacked/q/1362229026
I glanced at the URL and read “Dum bingo fage.” ^__^
I didn’t read much of the original, but I’m loving Ultimate Walkyverse (assuming that’s what this is).
NO WAY. Amber! And she’s a real superhero now!
well *%@# who would of thought amber would be there, I so thought it would have been Sal
In a twist…
Danny: “Who are you?”
Mike: “That’s your mom don’t you recognize her? I do, because I ‘saw’ her last night.”
I suppose this is now a reversal on the classic damsel in distress scenario. I now see Danny being tied to a pole, crying out for Amazi-Girl.
-jaw falls off-
IT’S AMAZI-GIRL!
*Gasp*! Token! But seriously….AWESOME.
Man, Ultra-Car’s in this universe? Weird!
“I’m Amazi-girl and I can breath in Space”…Yeah I know lame but it was asking for it.
I was just thinking to myself that it would be awesome if it were Amazi-girl, and boom there she is. That must be some kind of super power of mine, i can conjure up superheroes by thinking of them.
Emmafrostemmafrostemmafrostemmafrost
you know I really didn’t notice until now but now that I do I really love the reversal of the Mysterious Super Hero/Damsel in Distress arc here. Including the mysterious stranger beginning.
“I’m BA*cough* AMAZI-GIRL!”
Wrong color word balloon for AG… from the FUTURE!
She doesn’t start doing the voice until she meets Danny as Amber and needs to better hide her identity.
Expectations….DEFIED!
…..
AMBER?!
