Claymore’s always got a snippet of Kipling or Sax Rohmer or whatnot on hand to elevate the situation. And lots of Bard to spare:

Alarum - Enter KING HENRY V and soldiers with scaling-ladders

"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility.
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect…"

I think he’d sound like Ronald Colman. I wish I sounded like Ronald Colman.

PS - Speaking of acclaimed authors…
For unfathomable reasons on long drives Claudia and I concoct elevator pitches for potential Syfy Channel movies.
Here’s this week’s best:

“The sun goes nuts or a comet flies by, or something, and a bunch of cockroaches mutate into giants, and then one of ‘em’s eaten by a crocodile that turns into…

CROCROACH
!

Get it? It’s like half CROCodile and half cockROACH, see???
Meanwhile, because of the sunspots or whatever the Van Allen radiation belt becomes sentient, attacks the Earth and gets in a fight with CROCROACH, so it’s…

CROCROACH vs HORRORABOREALIS!

And then there’s a lot of blah blah blah and Debbie Gibson and stuff."
Not too shabby, huh?

One more thing. There’s, like, three Sharknado films already? Shouldn’t they have gotten to Sharkphoon by now?

PSS - Art stuff
Here’s Pep’s peeper, digital file, at 100%. The final art of these comic pages is big enough to be printed tabloid size, 11x17 inches (28x44cm). If this comic never makes it to boards and signatures at least we can all quote Kor, TOS, last son of the House of Kor, descendant of the Klingon Imperial Family... It would have been glorious!”
