BOOOOOOOOO

>>150845598 (OP)
Finally something he can hit and not miss.

>>150845598 (OP)
nothing even happens bros, we are so back

>>150845635
And he's still hitting it off-center.

>>150845598 (OP)
>Jack: "so anyway, I'll just keep on punching some random shit"

>>150845646
I mean, it seems to be working.

>>150845652
Is it? He's flailing and looking like a chump in front of his girlfriend's girlfriends and the girl he's trying and failing to kill.

>>150845598 (OP)
Barrier? I can't even hit 'er!

Kats top isnt damaged anymore?

>>150845699
The barrier is already cracking from the first punch.

>>150846081
And when he's done punching the barrier he'll have to punch dozens of robots. By that time Kat will be gone and ordering a latte.

>>150846026
The burn was near the front of her armpit, so it's not visible from those angles.

>>150845598 (OP)
Jack's Ditto face in the 4th panel makes it hard for me to take this seriously, even if I forget that the guy is farsighted and trying to use melee without corrective lenses. That barrier's too big a target to miss, I guess.

>>150846368
>the guy is farsighted
See this is the kind of shit that slips through the cracks over the years that I end up forgetting; I'm not saying make him stumble over things every other page he's on, but I really don't remember this being a thing that was brought up to any significant effect

>>150845641
>nothing happens
>Kat just unlocked barrier magitek

>>150845699
>the girl he's trying and failing to kill.
Plot Twist: Jack is a good guy and he's intentionally fumbling this assault.

You read it here first.

>>150845598 (OP)
Our villains continue to suck rocks. Like, why is Jack the only one attacking? Why are Rosa and Zara just standing around? And why this method off of buffing dumbass' hands? Did none of these people bring a goddamn knife? Fucking hell.

>>150847024
>why do these dumb edgy goth kid teenagers not optimally plan out a murder

>one dead ancient robot is all you're gonna get out of Kat murder attempt
Thanks, Tom, the nothingburger was very tasty this time!
But seriously, couldn't Kat at least gotten a scar like Annie or something?

>>150847086
Scar? What scar?

>>150847368
Scar? What scar?

bumping

>>150847565
Oh lol, I even forgot about that.

>>150846620
>Jack is farsighted
This has not been established anywhere as far as I know.

>>150846116
Kat doesn't seem like a Latte person to me. Milk in the court probably sucks, too. It's all instant powder.

>>150845598 (OP)
>mary sue, are you hurt?

>>150847038
Yes, actually! The hell are they doing in their little clubhouse all day if not working out how to efficiently murder the enemies of their gremlin-y goddess? Worst cult ever.

Does Zimmy even know about the coven, by the way? Either she'd be offended that he even has worshipers, or these losers are about what she'd expect.

>>150846861
The robots have always been able to make barriers, anon. This isnt new.

>>150847038
All they had to do was use a ranged attack, or a spell or hex of some kind that immobilizes Kat. Wrap her in vines, paralyze her, whatever. Or just shoot her with a magic missile.

Its hard to imagine a less effective plan of attack they could have chosen. The ONLY thing they have done well so far is isolate Kat to attack her alone. Everything else has been worse than the first plan an actual child would come up with.

>>150845598 (OP)
I already see people using the first panel for scat fetishism.

The witch final demise will be that they didnt know kat was carring a gypsi knife and she will shank those bitches in the most traditional familly way, cursing them with words that will make even a witch blush.

>>150845598 (OP)
>Angel
Wait, Diego's bots call her that too?

>>150846861
She was always able to do this, she just wsn't trying hard enough 10 seconds ago.

>>150850174
She can pretty much do whatever she wants to already. It just depends on her personality whether she'd effectively defend herself or not. (She won't)

The thing that annoys me about this is I just know this group of kids who were happy to commit murder aren't going to be punished for it. Those goth bitches are perfectly willing to kill and they aren't going to have anything done to them for it. They're already worse than most villains in other stories and it's just going to end up as nothing at all.

>>150850805
>perfectly willing to kill
Jack is such a wet blanket he can't even bring himself to punch her insides/brains out whenever he gets the chance. The two witches can only flirt and look into ether. No way they would ever think about getting close enough to get blood on their cute new clothes.
Basically Tom is showing how a murder attempt planned and executed by him would go. Bravo, impeccable storytelling as usual.

>>150850321
>jack: KOMBAT TIME
>proceeds to miss half his punches as he fights off a horde of robots while discount mortal kombat music is playing

>>150847038
Anon, you, yes (You), could go out and successfully commit a murder RIGHT NOW, with your bare hands even. Especially with the element of surprise and if you're not bothering trying not to get caught. Dumb kids can and have done it. These dumb edgy goth kids have basically planned everything perfectly and are choking at the last second for no discernable reason. Diego's robots wouldn't have had time to intervene if Jack hadn't come down with a sudden neurological disorder or something.

>>150852003
You are usually fucking retarded but this shit takes the cake.

>>150852871
You'd have to be as dumb as these spastics on the page to try to paint this as an reasonable failure.

>>150853195
Nobody in this comic (except Kat) is allowed to succeed.

>>150845598 (OP)
HULK SMASH!

Poor Kat. She thought she was gonna get herself some nice dark chocolate, but it was all just a honey trap.

>>150855875
At least she doesn't have to live with the embarrassment of falling for such a ploy.

>>150856425
Do not pretend you are immune.

>>150858666
Would be nice if she did literally something.

>>150858879
She's busy buffing Jack's hands so he can punch gooder. ... Seriously, the hell is this plan?

>>150858666
ugly bitch

>>150858666
Tbf, anon didn't deny that she fell for the ploy, he just said that she wouldn't have to live with that fact.

>>150859222
A fall guy maybe? I doubt it though. Maybe he's just a good conduit, or easier to buff. He WAS already coked up on spiders before, I'm sure that loosened him up. It's a solid plan entirely if he didn't fucking blow it, but right now in fairness he's trying to kill a main character, and that don't come easy, so she's either gotta live or have a drawn out end. Annie can still run to where Kat is right? Whe could tragically make it just in time to see Kat... Melt? Not sure what a successful punch would do.

>>150859821
Nta, but part of me is kind of surprised that none of the witches seem to have ranged attacks.

>>150859918
Jenny should have gone instead of Jack. I predict that Annie and Parley encounter the rest of the coven, Annie going against Sylvie and Parley against Noa.
