It genuinely was his intention to shoot through them.  It’s been a long while since Red’s bent a beam to cause injury to himself and not someone else.

    everyone else seems to be a little too focused on the wedding

    It’s been a long while since the Muffin’s brig has seen anyone new! :D If this guy survives long enough perhaps he’ll warm it’s benches! ;)

  3. Mapleguy says:

    Wouldnt 46 have gone “Split Phase Ion Cannon, bitches!” on the guy?

  4. Gunslinger says:

    That ninja should be earning his keep right about now.

  5. silverblob5 says:

    Larry’s pretty close there, too. It’d be interesting to see what a Deep One can do…

  6. jezzer says:

    anyone got a link?

  7. Aiden says:

    (also jedi are present)

  8. destiny says:

    as always reds power is above anything we can comphrehend.
    and why do i get the feeling they knew that was gonna happen?

    I believe that the next couple of sentences out of his mouth will be some form of “OMG THE PAIN!!!! BY THE GODDESS THAT HURTS!!! PLEASE OFFICER,FOR THE LOVE OF THE GODDESS ARREST ME ALREADY !!!!” or some combination therein. B)

    A true friend will stand in the way of a laser blaster for your, even if it’s just to give you time to get your new wife behind you as you prepare to bend the beam! In other words, great distraction guys!

    Also, I meant say yesterday, but I totally spotted somebody didn’t belong at the wedding last week.

    Admit it, Dr. Jeftinija. We all saw this coming. :)

  12. Mark says:

    While I get why the blaster’s beam hit Red… it always does. The gun was actually pointed at Red already anyways, so why didn’t the blast just simply go straight through them to hit Red? Unless the blaster wasn’t powerful enough to actually go through more than one person in one shot?

    • Darg says:

      It’s because, for some reason as yet unexplained, Red has the ability to actively draw weapons fire away from others and to himself. Thus, the joke is, the beam avoided the three obvious targets directly in its path in order to get to him and only him.

      • Mark says:

        Maybe I’m just thick then… I mean, I get why it hit Red… I just don’t get why it wouldn’t hit anybody else who happened to be in the way unless hitting that person would actually have caused it to not hit Red.

        The only plausible explanation I can come up with is that the blast, if it had hit somebody else. would not have been able to actually hit Red at all, so the beam had to navigate around them to hit him, and Landon’s intent to “go through them” would have actually required multiple shots.

  13. destiny says:

    all thats left is some one taking care of the guy with the blaster and il be collecting my 50 bucks from last comic.

  14. RazorD9 says:

    Guess with everything they went through, some crazy pointing a gun at Red isn’t that big a deal. Even though Robin, Johny and Skip’s stand against the Ex didn’t keep Red from getting shot, the way the laser weaved between them ensure it wasn’t in vein… kind of.

  15. AZNsupermarket says:

    It’s been a long time since you did a Red getting killed joke. It gets me every time though :)

  16. WJS says:

    You go guys, show him what the crew of the Muffin is made of. Robin even went first, even though he’s probably not armed (out of uniform).
