“Punishing Poke” I don’t think many of you will be surprised about the outcome, especially since this is a flashback. Unless – of course – you skipped the beginning and started reading the current issue! The story will have a different read, that’s for sure.
Warning: Things will get more extreme/intense than usual from episode 42.08 through to episode 45.11.
Be careful out there.
↓ Transcript
Panel 1
In a dark tunnel, Krak's posture straightens, as does his face; bones begin to reknit with a "krik" and a "krak" as the troll holds his busted jaw in place with his right hand. Casually the left's finger whirl, sending Pōk's spear in a twirl... and the gobo careening off to the side. Just in view by the troll's knees, Tok and Bam prepare another round of attacks, not noticing their falling companion.
Bam: "<Keep at it!>"
Panel 2
A bird's eye view shows a pained Pōk landing with a "crunch" near the gobo's hat, left leg at an awkward angle.
Panel 3
The angle switched to Pōk point of view, vision slightly blurred. Towering above, Krak licks his upper lip as he aims the spear point downward in his fist. Pōk gets one hand up...
Nik, offscreen: "<Hang on, Pōk! I got you!>"
Panel 4
...and, in a ground level shot, manages to get the other hand up in time to slow Krak's hand as it quickly brings the spear down at the gobo's head with a "thuk", just out of view. Closer and to the left, Nik enters the scene, reaching out to Pōk, a few strides too late.
Pōk, screaming: "<AaRgHhH!!!>"
