It will be fairly easy to avoid the good zombies, since they’re essentially all grouped together and not scattered amongst the enemy. And Rage isn’t THAT fast anyway.
Omg, the Badassiosity of this comic is totaly worth the wait. Though the color seems a bit overly done, considering the theme of the Comic, I’m always open to change. Hope the following pages come sooner then this last one >_<
I like how Rage seems to be directly jumping from frame one to frame two. Most people don’t pull off having characters passing over into another frame very well, but this had great effect. I really got the feeling he was jumping out of the school instead of just picturing it.
Woah I can definitely tell a difference in that art, Was this done on your old Wacom tablet?
Everything looks so much brighter, I also suppose being outside has something to do with the light.
If a common human recently turned vampire can’t recognize what is “coming towards us” is, then my guess he’s turned into some kind of cool mutated (possibly giant) creature.
I really love the colouring of Sullivan’s eye in the bottom left panel, specifically his right one (our left side). And his entire expression is brilliant as well. Good job, Owen. Rage jumping out the window is also terrific; love the shadow behind him, enhancing his movement through the panel and suggesting his speed. Part of what I love about this comic is how it’s not a Japanese anime style, more of a Western comic book style, which fits much more with the plot and tone of the comic. There are some elements of eastern animation-type style, particularly in the type of lines used, but it is a dominantly Western. So refreshing from all the anime comics out there on the internet.
you know as good as owens art is. i love the writing. especially the writing for rage. rage is like me if i was a vampire and it makes me love this comic even more.
Wow.. i didn’t expect this to be honest. Rage sure is an unquie character.
or is he kinda like a shapeshifter? hmm i think i will see it in the next page. just keep up the good job. ^_^
That was well worth the wait Great job Bobby en Owen! The last blood goodness just doesnt stop!
So… superspeed aye? Could be but maybe (just maybe) Rage looks a little feral doesn’t he? Could be he gets his superspeed from …
dum-da-dum
BEING A WEREWOLF! It would aal make sense, the claws , the overabundance of facial hair. And why Murdo doesn’t recognise em.
On the other hand their truck might be the acclimated zombies rushing ahead to the taste of human blood.
OMG i am loving this comic so much. It’s thoroughly stained in awesome sauce. Keep up the good work!
Bobby has confirmed it already folks, its super speed.
Which doesnt seem like much, but when its rage… it’s still pretty awsome.
Awsome Birthday present, thanks Bobby
Wow, don’t people read the comments before they post themselves? All the speculation over Rage’s “super” power after it has been explicitly stated that it is super speed.
Over which, by the way, I am extremely disappointed. I REALLY wanted it to be ballet dancing
LOVE the page! Rage makes every page he is in full of PURE AWESOMESAUCE(tm) with a side of BaWOOOOONGGGG!
Katy, he can have superspeed BECAUSE he is a werewolf, couldn’t he?
just poking fun at things; did read the Crosby’s affermation of Rage’s superspeed power… still it has also been said that he isn’t “that fast”… so how come Sully didnt see him vanish?
because he is a superspeed burrowing werewolf, that’s what!
i’ll just stop with the Rage conjecture… last panel is probably something to o with zombies anyhoo… or maybe not, seeing as Big Black doesn’t seem impressed at all. He probably saw rage doing something similar before…
Rage is just… You can’t NOT love him and be so scared of him you want to piss yourself at the same time? LOL He’s so awesome! I just LOVE the expression on Sully’s face too. lol He’s like “Does NOTHING phaze this guy till you tell him he can’t kill something?!”
I still think that confused Sully is adorable. lol
So rage’s power is super speed hm? Hey you were right about that “Hm that’s nice…” reaction. Still pretty neat though. Definitely has some destructive potential. lol And to the people that say his lame… Bobby TOLD you you’d find it boring.
“Big Black doesn’t seem impressed at all. He probably saw rage doing something similar before”
yeah black has seen Rage run before, so he is not so impressed.
On the other side is it safe to say that Rage is the deadliest vampire out of all of them?
I mean as I said before super strength, super speed, fearless, and even though I do not have evidence I a guessing that he is intelligent and knows how to make tactical moves and isn’t just “run in and destroy” kind of vampire.
Rats, I was sure my guess was near the mark, it would have fit so well with Rage’s love of pain.
Given that vampires have increased strength, stamina, smell, etc. compared to a normal human would it be reasonable to assume that they are also a little faster? The fastest recorded human with independent evidence is something like twenty two miles per hour. So, how fast is “not that fast” super-speed? Is Rage double a human’s top speed? Triple? More?
Rage has super speed. Bobby was kinda right, it’s awesome cause it’s Rage, but other than that it’s a pretty boring super power. Can’t wait to see page 9, that’ll be funny, awesome and several other excellent things thrown in for good measure.
Very nice. For a moment there, I thought his power was ultra fast digging. You’ll notice that in the 2nd panel, his hand is sort of ready to start digging, and it looks similar in the 4th panel. It would fit in the description, sort of boring. Well, super speed works well too.
I don’t want to be bitchy or something… But Sully looks too confused if we take into account, that rage precisely said where he’s going on the previous page.
Or maybe he’s heading for a group of zombies that Sully hasn’t sniffed yet?
And yeah, Sullivan’s page in that panel is awesome.
Rage is just awesome.
And my, Math looks more like a wuss with each panel. Well, sucks to be him. Or not anymore (bad pun).
“But Sully looks too confused if we take into account, that rage precisely said where he’s going on the previous page.”
That’s not why Sully’s confused. He’s not wondering where Rage is going — he’s wondering how he’s getting there, since he just saw Rage basically disappear. One second Rage was right out there where he could see him, next second (maybe after Sullivan blinked) he was gone.
He seems to move super fast there, but I think it’s a coincidence
You said that it would be boring, but I don’t think it is. Picture a vampire blindingly fast disposing of an army of zombies, then the massive gallons of zombie blood raining at almost the same time covering the sky and blocking the sun… awesome!
I’d agree with Krasno on his link, Rage in panel 5 of 1-91 has some of the little “speedy” lines around his body hinting at a superspeed ability, at least for sprints. I’d say sprints since otherwise we’d seen something different if it was an “always on” ability. Of course, panel 6 of 1-91 with panel 4 of this one makes for the cool Rage as vampiric lycanthropic mix hints from the artwork.
Unless Rage plays games (entirely likely IMO from what we’ve seen of him) by making his “playing” more exciting by not using his full skill against “lesser” opponents, I’d think he either cannot go full out all the time or he has been conserving his power to stretch his other combat abilities out at higher power levels.
Even though he has super speed, it doesn’t mean he won’t use it in an interesting way. For instance, running straight THROUGH zombies! Now that would be cool.
I’ve been following this comic for a while now, even posted in one of Mr. Crosby’s other comic comments…
When do we get to see the few humans on the International Space Station deal with their dwindling supplies? I’d even be cool if it was a mostly female crew and the vamps had to deal with trying to get them down safely to help the gene pool diversify more…
Also, having read the comic, to me, it seems Rage’s “power” must be partially redistributing his body-mass, as he definitely has changed his face & teeth to be more lupine in certain instances… I’d almost say his theme song would be Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like The Wolf”…
here’s an interesting question…. who are you going to get to play Rage in the movie? lol, Just had that thought when I was checking back. I mean character fitting, MAYBE Vin Diesel if you could get him in a wig. From Rage’s first appearance I would say Triple H, but yea… unfortunately I saw Blade Trinity (which is kinda ironic since he was s’posed to be the Rage type vampire) so that’s a no. Vin Diesel would probably make a better Addison though, could work.
Was just tossing ideas around in my head when I remembered that a movie was in the works, I remember you posting a picture of the actress who offered to play Val, but I don’t THINK there’s been anymore postings, if there has, my bad. But do you have people in mind as far as main cast go?
Math suggestion? Keanu Reeves, he’s done the badass to pansy thing before. Anybody remember Neo? (sarcasm for Keanu as nomination)
Murdo is a new vampire so he’s probably never seen much of vampire’s special abilities, Devian’s flying ability is probably the extent of which. But it’s fairly obvious Rage has shown his ability before cause the vamp’ driving the car barely even looks like he cares what he’s seeing.
Dan: “On the other side is it safe to say that Rage is the deadliest vampire out of all of them?”
No way man, Addison was the most dangerous of all the vampires, seriously with that level of intelligence, experience(as one of the older vampires, perhaps even the oldest vampire), the ability to call himself Addison Fucking Payne (AFP as we’ve dubbed it) without seeming to be a overconfident jackass. He also created a cure for vampirism, imagine that potential in weaponry and last but not least the ability to act nonchalant around Sofia. If that doesn’t make him deadly nothing will or should.
Bobby: I love this page it is brilliant. I have a question though. Does Rage’s super speed apply to just running/ways of movement. Because if it doesn’t and also applies to arms and fists he will be even more deadly in a fight(is that possible!).
Owen: This detail is awesome. The daylight looks fantastic, as does the detail of different muscle tissue layers on Sully’s arm and face. For some reason I can’t get over them.
Uhm. Ok. I get it now.
Still, I think an additional panel showing the exact same spot on the ground but without Rage would make more sense. Or something.
As it is now it left me as confused as Sully (I don’t read every discussion in comments, so the super speed thing is new to me).
I imagine that there is a giant dust cloud that Murdo is seeing. It’s being kicked up may Rage’s super speed running.
And I think it would be wise to not say he has super strength, but instead enhanced strength. Murdo has a super nose, while other vampires have enhanced noses. Rage is the strongest, but this may simply mean that there is no super strength, or they are all dead. Who knows?
Bill M, it was stated a large number of times that THOSE ARE THE LAST OF HUMANITY AND EVERYONE ELSE IS DEAD OR A ZOMBIE BY NOW. And there are lots of perfectly plausible theories about how did the people on space died: WLB nuked them (he got the stuff to do it, it would be a shame not to!!!), they came down by themselves to aid or to protect their loved ones, they went nuts and kill each other/themselves, etc…
Also Bobby said that before posting a comment read the others and the FAQ or else he will ban your sorry ass *not sic*
“As it is now it left me as confused as Sully (I don’t read every discussion in comments, so the super speed thing is new to me).”
Um, it’s supposed to leave you confused as it is now. Obviously the next page will make things clear.
“No Bobby, I know that wasn’t Rage in the first panels, I meant when he runs for the zombies in the last panels”
Don’t get it — he doesn’t show any special speed in the last panels.
“Also Bobby said that before posting a comment read the others and the FAQ or else he will ban your sorry ass”
I’ve never said that in any way. The closest I’ve come to that only applied to people whining about a specific topic, like if they said on Page 7 that Math’s human now so he shouldn’t be able to tear chains, ignoring the million comments whining about that and explaining it previously on the same damn comments page. I’ve also told you to post less, and from now on you’re only allowed one comment per page (and no more for this page).
nice update and nice artwork.
Only thing I am complaining about are the blodd splatters “on” the last panel.
It looks as if an imaginary reader (nose)bled on the comic.
(o0and the roof of the car seems to have no perspective, but that’s ignorable.
keep up the ver, very, good work in story and artwork bobby & owen!
Um, one thing I’ve been worrying about for the last couple pages… where did Sullivan’s zombies come from? I’m assuming he could only control zombies he’d actually made, or else TFZ’s leftover zombies would not be an issue, he could just take them over.
“I was three weeks too late to save the world, but maybe I can save you,”
I forget how long it’s been… thirty-two days… minus three weeks… eleven days? Sullivan has had the last eleven days to gather an army? but every soldier he gets is one less human… So I’d assume that of all the humans left eleven days ago (which weren’t many), Sullivan got half.
It strikes me as kinda defeating the purpose, honestly… I mean, I see why he would, because he NEEDED that army… and Francis was just gonna get them if he didn’t… But also, how could Sullivan have found those remaining humans before Francis did, if they were hiding from Francis, who (because of his better sense of smell) had a much better chance of finding them?
So tell me, if you don’t mind, how exactly did it work out that Sullivan got an army of zombies that could even be considered helpful, and of course his thinking on it, how he decided that that was necessary (cause I don’t think he’d be willing to do it if he had another choice). I can see that it was the only way, but how could you do that? Kill more humans to stop someone from killing all the humans? We’re down to freaking 23(24), and a chunk of the ‘dead’ are Sullivan’s fault (albeit a comparatively small chunk).
And how was he to know, in any one town that he got to before Francis, that this wasn’t the last town? that these last few humans weren’t THE last few humans? that he should be saving them, not using them. That the last piece of the annihilation of our planet wouldn’t have been his fault.
Honestly, from Sullivan’s POV, he must have been expecting for the two of them to wipe out the entire human race, all the vampires to die (well, not exactly DIE…), and then he and Francis to battle it out in one final Schaemiac vs Schaemiac zombie battle to the finish. Because that’s definately the more likely outcome.
Oh, yeah, that reminds me. If they’d lost and all of the humans had died, the zombies would have wandered around until they’d decomposed, and we’d be left with one giant, dead planet. I wonder if that’s not what happened to Mars? ;P
Ummm. dude the ‘blood splatters’ are only more vivid on the windshield of the truck, there are other splatters but hey are more brown and faded on the body of the truck because of its rusted color.
Maybe you should learn how to spell before you attempt at being at art critic.
When I first saw the last pannel I was all… Rage, don’t kill Murdo! XD Nice… Rage’s like a superspeed buldozer, he kills all zombies, wheee! Loved the page, can’t wait for more! ^^
“Ugh, I know they look very similar there, but that’s not Rage in Panel 3, that’s Eddie. This was discussed often at the time.” – Bobby Crosby
If you’re worried about them looking similar maybe you can work into the story something along the lines of Eddie being the one who turned Rage. Or that they share a similar power. Really I don’t care, there is enough difference to tell them apart.
Anyway great comic guys. Awesome story, awesome art, what more can anyone ask for?
I am happy that his “two” superpowers can be linked in some way (super strenght, super speed). Kind of logical AND completes well one another. (nice muscles )
Him liking pain is probably sadly not gonna affect much when he kills zombies since I seem to remember that zombies try to go for the human and have a strong tendency to ignore zombies or vampires unless they are blocking their way. Maybe it was only the zombies though. But since they are not controlled anymore and vamps are dead…
Also, hey, if you got to give your blood to one vamp and hope he does the most damage with it, I’d so choose Rage
Yesssss…..I’ve got my ‘Last Blood’ fix. Totally worth the wait.
Poor, poor Rage. he missed the big fight, got wrapped up in chains and forgotten, and then was told he could only kill *certain* zombies. This just isn’t his day.
And I love Sully’s facial expressions–ever since he first showed up on..pg… 4, I want to say, he keeps cracking me up– expecially the atom bomb comment last page and “Hey, where’d he go?!?” And panel three is pure gold. Owen, you’re amazing.
And on the lameness scale, there are powers that are WAAAAY lamer than super speed. I guess the speed thing’s been done quite a bit in other stuff, but still. It’s not jaw-droppingly awesome, but it’s not totally lame either.
Random question: When are we going back to the humans? Is someone still going to become a zombie?
Courtney: A proper answer to your questions would be about 300 pages long. That story will be told in a future graphic novel and I’m not gonna spoil it all here, but here’s slightly more info than I’ve previously given, plus some repetition of what I’ve said before many times in response to the same questions . . .
He got almost all of his 3,000 troops in the first 24 hours after he came out of the ocean. At that time there were still hundreds of thousands of humans left, possibly millions. He never ordered the death of a human (he only had to kill one personally, then he just ordered his zombies to do the rest) unless he could smell at the time a decent sized group of living humans that he felt he had a chance to save. Keep in mind that he just said two pages ago that he can smell blood from 10 miles away. Shortly after coming out of the ocean he was in an extremely populated area (pre-zombie invasion) where there were many pockets of survivors scattered all over the place. Practically all of the humans he killed were literally seconds away from being killed by Francis’s zombies. At the time zombies were breaking through defenses all over the place and Sullivan actually had his zombies competing against Francis’s zombies for who could bite the humans first. It was pretty wild, disgusting stuff. Sullivan assumed that there were at least tens of millions of humans still alive on Earth and he hoped that there were billions. Once he got a large enough army that he decided could withstand endless “dumb” zombies, ones who aren’t being controlled at the time by Francis, which only took him about a day, it was right then when the humans suddenly ran out. I’ll decide on the details for this later, and it’s possible that he’ll actually keep a supply of humans safe within his group for a while but then they’ll die (it will be much more dramatic than that sounds in this very short description), but anyway, he’ll then be heading East (from California) with his zombies and he’ll be finding no humans anywhere, running at full speed (all of them, they never tire, can run at least 15 miles per hour or so endlessly). He heads for his old hometown (obvious reasons), possibly thinking the whole time that he screwed up or was too late and that there’s no humans left in the world, although I may throw in some more contact of some sort between Sullivan and Addison to give him some more info (complicated, long story, all will be told in future books, some will be told in this second GN). He first smelled the humans at the school about 10 miles out, ran right by the pond and decided to order some supplies (weapons, food) to be left there, and you know the rest basically.
I had asked myself the Sullivan creating zombie question, but I figured that Sullivan had figured that there were certain humans that were gonna be zombies (because they were being overrun) and that they might as well be his rather than Francis’s
I loved this page, so very much,
but i still cannot believe how many people are still deciding not to read previous posts and just commenting randomly, for instance:
“Sic Says:
March 10th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
I say he jumps, like, real far.”
this is why i personally hate people.
good effort put into this page boys, hope to see more soon.
Bill M. Says: “When do we get to see the few humans on the International Space Station deal with their dwindling supplies? I’d even be cool if it was a mostly female crew and the vamps had to deal with trying to get them down safely to help the gene pool diversify more…”
Are you trying to be ironic or just an idiot?
Dan Says: “I mean as I said before super strength, super speed, fearless, and even though I do not have evidence I a guessing that he is intelligent and knows how to make tactical moves and isn’t just “run in and destroy” kind of vampire.”
I’m not necessarily disagreeing with the possibility of Rage being somewhat intelligent, but what possible evidence could convince you that he is not “just ‘run in and destroy” kind of vampire.’”? All evidence points to that being exactly what he is. He gets untangled and his first reaction is “I’m gonna go kill stuff now.” He’s an ex-professional wrestler who’s obsessed with pain and killing. Seriously, where do you get any hint of tactical thinking? Do you have any reason for thinking this, or am I just missing something obvious?
Jon, Shayna, George, dannyboy: You four should seriously continue the “discussion” of yours from last page. Your arguing was more amusing than most of the assholes that got banned, and almost as intelligent as their comments too. If it takes more than a week to get another comic I would love to be entertained further by the pointless belittling of random people over the internet. I know other commenters whined about all the arguing, but it really was great entertainment while waiting.
Res66: No retention of powers, but he could always be turned again, but then he wouldn’t have the great sense of smell, since he wouldn’t be turned by Val again, who is now dead. Unless he was turned by Murdo — then his nose would be almost as good as before. But he’d need to go through the 32 day acclimation phase again.
Heh, unless Math devellop a new random power this time? I usually read carefully the comments, and I know you’ve mentionned that the powers are rare but sometimes appear. But are those because of a particular person, the way he’s turned, pure luck (like if you get your blood at THAT moment…) or something? Maybe when when first transformed they are gorged on blood? Or go through hunger? No matter, I’d like seeing what decides that. It’d be funny that something like all old “original” (parents) lineage had powers, but it got ***mudded*** when mixed with transformed humans, and eventually it got kind of random
why am i being lumped in with the whole argument thing? i only ever tried to:
a. stop the argument
b. make light of the situation, thus stopping the argument
c. change the subject, also stopping the argument.
i even tried the lame ass “what music you listening to” question (which killed me a little inside)
and while i have your attention, there is a plot based question that has been running around in my head, but i havent asked cause i didnt want to piss off bobby and i wasnt sure if it had been asked yet. but what the hell, here goes.
what the hell is the deal with mac?
like seriously, is he half vampire or something? how does he kick so much ass? no human should be able to do the things he can do. im sure we would have eventually gotten an answer, but im gonna be away from my computer for a month and a half soon, and i just want to know before that happens. if its already been discussed, i apologize, but i only became aware of the comments section on the last page, and there’s no way i can read all those comments to see if anyone discussed this before. seriously, no way.
“Jon, Shayna, George, dannyboy: You four should seriously continue the “discussion” of yours from last page.”
If for some reason Owen decides he does not like the tablet drawings and decides that he will wait until he can get his proper supplies and it takes a week for those to come in, I’ll be happy to restart it up its fun arguing with random people. Really really fun you guys all have to try it some time.
I’m serious get off your computers and go do it. NOW!
That’s what I was thinking, (Sullivan and zombies…) Thanks for taking the time to explain some of it.
Also, what was the human population of Earth sixty five years ago? You have to think, you know? What did Sullivan expect when he ‘woke up’ I suppose you could say. I’m sure he expected some advances, but to what extent? The A-Bomb comment on the last page is exactly the kind of thing. I’m horrible at history, but sixty-five years ago, Francis COULDN’T have ‘invaded’ the world that fast, could he have? How could he have known it would be possible to do it that fast (I don’t suppose he’d care… he’d've done it slow if he had to… he just hadn’t had to…) So Sullivan would have been really surprised as to the extent… Coming up in California, he’d have gotten what he expected, because the number of humans left there would have made sense, it was the obliteration of the rest of the world that really killed us… so when the humans ‘ran out’ as you put it; which, yeah, I think that would happen too, Sullivan would get out there and realize Francis already had THOUSANDS (or however many) ALL OVER, and that he wasn’t just ranging out from California like Sullivan was. And that makes total sense, that Sullivan would try to protect any groups of humans he came across that weren’t already doomed, but say something happened… they lost moral and killed themselves or something, or got caught in the ‘cross fire,’ killed while Sullivan’s zombies were fighting Francis’s.
…Anyways, the point of this comment was to ask – What was Sullivan EXPECTING to find when he came up after sixty-five years?
(and if this comment is ignored, I won’t be surprised, you already said a lot of this will be answered later – and some of it already has been, but I haven’t been reading comments for the last few months)
Thank You Micah! I rather thought it was amusing myself. I love sparing and am rather competitive by nature.
However, the monitors didn’t find it so fun, and I still want to be able to shoot down people who think they can criticize comic art with no discernable knowledge, just because they are a fan.
>>>God’s not on my side, but the Devil has been calling.<<<
i dont know if this was said yet on this page, but tegu, and other’s who have said that rage has “two” powers, he dont…
as, i think bobby said before once, that rage used to be a pro wrestler, and was immensely strong BEFORE he was turned, and that becoming a vampire, let’s say, maybe…doubled? his strength, though more likely tripled it…
I know that everyone but Addison thought Francis was Sullivan, and the 3000 has fought uncontrolled zombies on screen, but when you said Sullivan defended humans with his zombies from other zombies, were they controlled at that point or not. It would mean Francis knew Sullivan was TFZ too. If you are going to answer this in the comic soon, fell free to just say so and give me something new to wait for.
Thanks Bobby and one last question will Math still be as good with a sword and a great shot before he became human or was the amazing skills just the vampire strength?
Thanks your comic is awesome I can’t wait 2 see wat happens next!
I have a question about sullivan. Does he see things differently through his schematic eye than his regular vamp eye? I ask this because that is how I see the world and kinda relate. I go by Odin because I lost an eye when I was young and stupid. The replacement never quite took right so my brain interpets the signals comming from it wierd. Ie brown is blue, the sky is purple but only in one eye. Oddest part is it is a different strength than my original one. So I have clearer vision out of that one. It can be disorienting on bright days. Just wondering if Sully is the same, like can he see from a controled zombie’s eyes or just different than the other?
I remember there was some discussion back when we thought Francis had no eyes, Bobby said he could see because he could (this was the beginning of the magic jokes, I believe). I think the idea was that he used his mind to see, not his eyes (since he doesn’t have a normal one). Though Sullivan has much more flesh on him, I’m not sure this would apply. This a a really good question, maybe having it let him see humans versus vampires/zombies (it would explain why zombies only eat humans, besides smell. Vampires are full of human blood of course.
Either way, good question. And if you don’t mind, what kind of eye do you have now?
I like the art much better in the “new” LB.
It seems liek Owen is startin gto experiment and breaking out of the mouse drawn ms paint sketches and doing his own thing while stayign true to Cosby’s ideas. It lets me enjoy the comic a lot more.
Can I just say I love the artwork. I’m looking at it to show a friend how I’m gonna do mine, and I just can’t help but stare at it. It’s just amazing. Rage is amazing is all his wild nature side, you can tell that Math is human now, and Sullivan goes from smug to befuddled so fast it’s crazy. And Murdo’s shock is perfect. There’s just one thing.
BB’s head just looks odd to me. Doesn’t belong on those shoulders.
A few quick questions:
Why can Math rip chain if he is human?
What is Rage’s Power?
How is Mac so powerful for a human?
Does Math retain any powers as a vampire?
Why did Owen take so long to post a new chapter?
If you could answer these questions, that would be great…..=)
I have a new query. Hair. How does that work. Math’s hair grew like crazy, and the different vampires have different amounts of hair (Addison to Rage). I know hair keeps growing for some time after death, and since they are undead, it cold keep growing like normal. This is all a set up for my real question.
Sullivan has a 5 ‘o clock shadow thing going. Looks really cool. My question. Is that growth he got while on land, or did it happen before the hunger pains (I seriously doubt he stopped to shave since he came back) ? Wounds sustained during the 65 years don’t heal, but what about hair? Can Sullivan grow a beard or long hair, or is he stuck with what he has, no more ever?
In response to the people that have replied to me…
No, I’m no idiot. There’s this thing called the vacuum of space, and if sound can’t travel through a vacuum (the whole “in space, no one can hear you scream” argument), why would smell? Unless my memory is truly whacked, the vampires have stated they’re guarding the last humans ON earth, but of course, I don’t have time to pore over every comment from every comic so far, so if Bobby has addressed this before, I apologize. I realize that in comic, I’ve seen zombies pilot a jet fighter, but the main person controlling the zombies originally was from a pre-WWII world, especially since his “rival” Sullivan knew nothing of an atomic bomb. The space race was under Kennedy, decades after WWII. The International Space Station is an even more recent development. If someone wants to point me towards where Mr. Crosby himself dealt with this, that’s fine, otherwise, hold your tongue.
Sorry Mr. Crosby, for ranting on your comic’s website, keep up the good work on all your comics.
Bobby: “Mac is just a regular human, but obviously he’s insanely awesome.”
Yes!
Mac is without a doubt my favorite character in the entire comic. I’ve said so before, I’ll say it again. I’ve thought that ever since the fight in town when he was getting supplies, and nothing will ever change my mind about that opinion after he took part in the ‘Battle on Zombie Corpse Mountain’ and held his own just as well as, if not BETTER than, the vampires… the zombies werent trying to eat vampires, only humans like him; the vampires all got chained; and Mac was able to get back inside without being chained or eaten.
He’s uber.
He’s Achilles, without the heel problem.
He’s freaking Batman (who is far better than Superman no matter how many powers Superman has)
If it didn’t seem unhealthily obsessive and wierd, I would have form a Mac Attack fan club by now.
“Unless my memory is truly whacked, the vampires have stated they’re guarding the last humans ON earth, but of course, I don’t have time to pore over every comment from every comic so far, so if Bobby has addressed this before, I apologize.”
You could just use Google.
“If someone wants to point me towards where Mr. Crosby himself dealt with this, that’s fine, otherwise, hold your tongue.”
Hmm, I dunno why but this page just feels a little disjointed. Especially at the bottom. It’s like Rage is talking, and then Sullivan is all shocked, which I’m sure is meant to be suspenseful but it just kind of came across as odd. And then the panel with Murdo just shows up at the end of the page. Unless the two surprised reactions are connected, which they may be, I suppose, it seems kind of odd to make that split.
Otherwise, good art and can’t wait for the next page.
I don’t mind Tegu. It is a transplant from annother brown eyed kid. The split vision gives me migraines every here and there. But I am still curious weather sullivan sees differently out of each eye.
Courtney: “What was Sullivan EXPECTING to find when he came up after sixty-five years?”
That’s something I’ve been wondering too, but more about Francis than Sullivan. Planes were around, and computers were just getting started, although he might not have known anything about computers at that point. I’d say there had to be some expected advances in any sort of technology dealing with flight. So I’d think Francis would have expected airports, large commercial jets and that sort of thing. He was probably surprised to see the long range missiles and communication technology, but that would only help his take over. I think all the technology needed to basically do his speed run of world domination was predictable, but he might have been concerned about it being created with that 65 year time frame. He could always wait around after he got his first group of zombies on the beach and ask them about the state of technology and such. I’m fairly sure he wasn’t aware of Sullivan’s plans to try and stop the end of the world. As for Sullivan if he came out of where ever Addison had him stored (which is something I can’t wait to find out) he probably found the sorry state of the world, and wouldn’t feel too bad about biting one person and having them explain to him if the whole world was like this or just the city he was moving through. Plus I would bet that Addison might have told him a few things to expect once he woke up. If anybody could predict technology it would be Addison.
Demon!:
“Yeah, except his whole body is vulnerable… and he may be turned into a zombie, if he gets bitten”
And yet he doesn’t get bitten, doesn’t get killed, and doesn’t get hurt. Because his blood is not normal human blood. Mac’s blood is concentrated liquid awesome. One micro-gram of his blood could feed 10,000 vampires for 10,000 years at full strength.
And no what I’m saying is not sarcasm – I simply think Mac is THAT awesome. Mac is THE representative of the best of the best of the human race.
And while I’m at it, no one should worry about the repopulation thing… Mac’s around. He’ll handle it. You’ll have a bunch of little Macs running around, Mac-attacking the heads off zombies 3 at time. It’ll be great. You’ll see.

In response to the people that have replied to me…
No, I’m no idiot. There’s this thing called the vacuum of space, and if sound can’t travel through a vacuum (the whole “in space, no one can hear you scream” argument), why would smell? Unless my memory is truly whacked, the vampires have stated they’re guarding the last humans ON earth, but of course, I don’t have time to pore over every comment from every comic so far, so if Bobby has addressed this before, I apologize. I realize that in comic, I’ve seen zombies pilot a jet fighter, but the main person controlling the zombies originally was from a pre-WWII world, especially since his “rival” Sullivan knew nothing of an atomic bomb. The space race was under Kennedy, decades after WWII. The International Space Station is an even more recent development. If someone wants to point me towards where Mr. Crosby himself dealt with this, that’s fine, otherwise, hold your tongue.
Sorry Mr. Crosby, for ranting on your comic’s website, keep up the good work on all your comics.”
I know that Anko already answered you, but I have a question for you. If you don’t have time to read all the comments: A) why should we take the time to answer yours? and B) Why the fuck can’t you learn to use google yourself, or don’t you have time for that either?
1. “Tegu Says:

I have a new query. Hair. How does that work. Math’s hair grew like crazy, and the different vampires have different amounts of hair (Addison to Rage). I know hair keeps growing for some time after death, and since they are undead, it cold keep growing like normal. This is all a set up for my real question.”
“If anybody could predict technology it would be Addison.”
Yeah he could predict it pretty well because he probably has technology lying around in bunkers and gives stuff out to random humans every few years or something. That means Addison was behind Da Vinci, Gallelaio and Einstein ooh interesting(Yes this probably isn’t true but oh well)
I’m sorry that I’m not like you, to have an infinite amount of time on the internet, and that I haven’t been following the comic since the first posting, or that’s what I gather from your arrogance. I’ve been following the comic since I found it, but to pore over 100+ comics and their comments just to find something that I have a question about, and I don’t remember it being addressed since I started reading sometime in December of last year. As to your question about why I didn’t use google? Simple, google has been almost useless for me whenever I’ve done any research on webcomics because to get effective results you have to search for the exact terms the comment user used. Plain and simply, if it’s not in the FAQ, whether fan-made or author-made, people will ask it, especially if it seems reasonable to them.
In response to Anko, thank you for pointing me to Mr. Crosby’s response.
Um, im just wondering, if there are good zombies, that means the ‘head’ good zombie (the one with the vampire) has bitten alot of people to raise his own army. doesnt that contribute to the decay of the human race?
“Simple, google has been almost useless for me whenever I’ve done any research on webcomics because to get effective results you have to search for the exact terms the comment user used.”
That’s not necessarily true. You were wondering about the international space station . Could have googled “site:lastblood.net international space station” or “site:lastblood.net astronauts” or even just “last blood astronauts” (all without quotes) and the first result on any of the three searches should take you to a page where the issue was discussed.
“Plain and simply, if it’s not in the FAQ, whether fan-made or author-made, people will ask it, especially if it seems reasonable to them.”
Well, now it is in the FAQ. So the next time someone asks that question I will apparently have every right to tear them to pieces.
“In response to Anko, thank you for pointing me to Mr. Crosby’s response.”
No problem.
“Um, im just wondering, if there are good zombies, that means the ‘head’ good zombie (the one with the vampire) has bitten alot of people to raise his own army. doesnt that contribute to the decay of the human race?”
For one, the “head good zombie” is with a HUMAN, not a vampire. And your question has been answered on this very page, by Bobby himself, in a very long and detailed comment. Right here: http://lastblood.net/main/2008/03/08/page-8-that-thing/#comment-18181
But please, next time at least use the names of the characters if you forget what “species” they are. See, I’m pretty certain that by “vampire” you were referring to Math the human, and the “head good zombie” is Sullivan, a schaemiac. But I guess I could be wrong.
I have to agree here, Math was much more appealing as a vamp. Chicks dig dark, sexy, characters with a soul, even fictious ones.
I’m sure this discussion was made when ‘Twenty-Four’ was shown, but there is always the possibility that we are getting ahead of ourselves here.
Examples:
What if Addison’s cure wasn’t foolproof?
Will there be side-effects?
Now that there is a cure, who is to say they won’t turn all their strongest humans, in order to fight, and then cure them when they have killed the threat?
There are still a lot of possibilities for Math.
Don’t loose heart Ximena, just do what I do. I write fan-fiction with my favorite characters.
Not sure, but I think I’ve said many times that Math wouldn’t be human for long.
I’ll probably answer all those other questions from the past many comments at some point later. Most of them seem extremely obvious/pointless to me, like the one about if Francis was controlling the zombies at the time that Sullivan was “fighting” them, and most, if not all, of them have been answered already anyway.
You know, if I was Sullivan Davis I’d feel pretty goddamned raw about the fact that if I was gonna go through 65 years of torture and half my damned sexy body rotted off and there’s no way to reverse this fact. So now I gotta go through the rest of eternity forever looking shittier and shittier till I rot away.
He’s pretty good natured about it though. You gonna confront that?
Uh who said there was no way to reverse it. Bobby said on Page 3 of this second GN that it actually will work on schaemiac’s, but it would be kinda stupid for Sullivan to take it right now, as they need his zombies if they want to live. Also one of the main reasons Addison was working on the cure was for Sofia(or at least to get her to stop smashing his lovely vodka bottles) so he would almost definately make it try and work for them.
I don’t know how to give exact link to the comment so if Anko or Bobby or someone else could help with that it would be nice. It’s Bobby’s 3rd comment on that page.
“So now I gotta go through the rest of eternity forever looking shittier and shittier till I rot away.”
There’s no rotting away or looking shittier.
————————————————
So, if he’s presumably been rotting for the last 65 years, why is he suddenly not rotting anymore? Just curious. Or was there another reason for chunks of him missing?
“So, if he’s presumably been rotting for the last 65 years, why is he suddenly not rotting anymore?”
Because he’s a schaemiac now and schaemiacs are just like vampires except with extra powers (obviously). During the 65 years of torture, that’s a different phase where some amount of rotting can occur. Once it’s over and they’re officially a schaemiac, no more rotting.
sorry about the sarcasm. Just trying to point out that explaining everything doesn’t always make for better story telling; to quote an old proverb; “some things are better left unsaid”. As for example the force and midichlorians.
It would be horrible if some sort of nano parasites would be dubbed the spreaders of vamprirism / schaemiac powers wouldn’t it?
once again sorry bout the sarcasm, thought the point would be clear…
So, now that Owen can draw again, when can we expect updates? I know it takes longer to do color strips, and I know Owen’s doing about a million other comics, so this is just a polite question since it seems that a MWF schedule isn’t going to happen.
Your name is stupid *sticks out tongue*
P.S. Darn it anyway, that was the best attempt at humor I have ever produced….. Life sucks now all because some random person who I don’t even know or even care about doesn’t like my ill attempt at humor. What ever shall I do?
“since it seems that a MWF schedule isn’t going to happen.”
What are you talking about. Anko said on the last page i belive that MWF is not actually Monday Wednesday Friday as commonly believed but Every Month with Flowers (Anko you are brilliant for realising this, I bow to your brilliance). Thus it updates more then schedule even when Bobby is being lazy(/endsarcasm)
You are right about that, Shayna, but it worries me when imspiration comes rarely… Even art needs a little bit of discipline to it, to keep it from going chaotic.
I’ve experienced “writer’s block” before, and it sucks. Good luck to Bobby with that… I hope he will be pumping out fresh pages real soon
***Demon! says “You are right about that, Shayna, but it worries me when imspiration comes rarely… Even art needs a little bit of discipline to it, to keep it from going chaotic.”***
Don’t agree with me you schmuck! I just called you a Nazi!
You’re just agreeing with me because you want to be liked, but you still try to defend that inordinately large stick up your ass by saying “I’m worried”.
You obviously don’t know or respect creative process, and you have confirmed that you are a weak and pathetic specimen by not standing your ground.
Hey now, no need for insults here. Art can not be confined, true, but deadlines should be met. There are none with this comic, you Bobby and Owen did spoil us at the end with the last one.
Now enough bickering children. Let’s all enjoy the comic!
Schedules? Screw em! Deadlines? Screw em! LAST BLOOD is a free web-comic, one of thousands online in fact. I like many others love it and will gladly wait for updates. So with no due respect to all you whinging bitches, SHUT UP. Seriously though Last Blood is well worth waiting for.
Bnz please don’t swear on these comments. I got mass attacked for saying damn(I didn’t even spell it correctly so technically I wanted to build them water catchment facility) to Anko and Mozilla Firefox, so I’d hate to see what happens when someone says fuck
ps bobby: if that was over the line then just dont approve this comment, i wont mind cause right now im just bored as hell and its like 2 in the morning.
No offense, but I do not like the current slowness with which this comic updates… I liked to read this comic, but more and more I tend to just not check here anymore… if you could do something about this it would be much appreciated
I’m noticing a trend here… the longer the gap between pages, the more angry people get at each other.
Maybe Crosby’s really an evil villain, and his master plan is to make us destroy each other while waiting for the next page.
Dude… does that make us superheroes? ‘Cause they’re the only people that kind of stuff happens to.
Now I hope he really is an evil mastermind.
***Demon says “How about I tell you that I have been into creative work for years – I do writing and graphic design (ccasionally).”***
Telling me this does not make me give a crap. Saying you have done “creative work for years” means that you have no proof and are lying or that you have been too chicken shit to submit your work to criticism, much less been published in any forum.
As proof of your shallow and uniform opinions; graphic design is a conformity of the capitalist nation to pigeonhole creative people by luring them into a false sense of security with a steady paycheck, in order to produce advertising that brainwashes a nation of dumbed-down t.v. viewers, Paris Hilton wanna-bes, and magazine readers.
My Favorite Line Demon said, ***”So, dear Shayna, don’t try to teach me something I know BETTER than you.”***
Dude! This is an anonymous forum. You don’t know anyone well enough to make the assumption that you know more than anyone else here. I could be Stan Lee or a 10 year old obese gamer who has a 240 IQ.
Why don’t you wear a sign that says ‘I AM AN IGNORANT ASS’.
DEAR GEORGE, I tried not to use any profanities except for ‘ass’ as it is used in everyday radio and televised forums. I hope that is okay.
Shayna…. why are you arguing with Demon? What about me?? What about the fond times we spent calling each other retarded and 330 lb guy named Bubba??
I’m hurt that you’ve moved on to arguing with another.
Hurt, I say.
Bubba. hehe, I slay me.
Btw, to Owen, is it just me or does Rage seem less bulked up than when he was coming out from the airplane crash in Last Blood part 1? Not that I would ever complain about your art – it’s awesome to the Nth degree, but did he go on a quickie diet or something, or is it maybe the angle from which he’s being viewed?
“DEAR GEORGE, I tried not to use any profanities except for ‘ass’ as it is used in everyday radio and televised forums. I hope that is okay.”
Mainly talking to bnz in particular and as a general warning to avoid use of profanities. Although if you listen to most kids these days… OH MY GOD I SOUND LIKE AN OLD MAN AND I’M ONLY 15!
it would be nice if it was updated lyk twice a week. thats the only thing that pisses me off about this comic. i understand how long it takes to draw one and that you guys actually have lives, but if other comics can do it im sure you can do it too cap’n
I think that instead of bithching about the schedule and arguing everyone should do something more productive. Fan stuff, you know, to show the creators that we actually care about the story and the characters and not just how regular the updates are. I’ve kept myself busy, at any rate.
“Luke, you are right. They do have lives, INCLUDING JOBS.”
I don’t have a life, and neither of us have jobs other than making comics. (Or at least I’m 95% sure Owen doesn’t currently have a regular job.)
“They don’t get paid to do this, they love it.”
No, we do make money from it, and I personally have no love for writing comics. Owen likes drawing, though, I’m pretty sure. Both of us currently make more money from the other comics that we do (I make more from “Marry Me,” Owen makes more from “Sore Thumbs”), so those take priority, especially since there’s no deadline of any kind for “Last Blood” anymore, since the first GN ended.
And as I’ve said many times recently, the main reason for so few pages lately has been that I’ve been writing them very slowly.
“Don’t agree with me you schmuck! I just called you a Nazi!”
friggin priceless, i laughed all while reading the rest of the comments from that.
Soooo, there’s no question who’s the #1 fan (as if there was before lol). Nice work, but on the pants, what’s all the smaller writing? Character names?
Yea, ok, took another look trying to figure it out, way too much writing to be character names? A lil plot maybe? Beware horny lil 14year olds trying to “read what the top of your pants say” tho… hehehe, that trick used to work like a charm >.>
I think you should make another pair of those pants that has #2 fan on it, and sell it off. Or send it to bobby. I think you’re a bigger fan than he is.

Still not funny…
I am sure that this comic has lost many frequent veiwers, But there are still a lot of us out there who still regularly check, and I am pleased to count myself among them.
btw anko you bloody well rock.
Let’s take a poll! What do you think is more annoying? :
1.) People who whine about the update schedule (or lack there of) and/or beg for more comics (in a not “meant as a joke” fanboy sort of way).
2.) Mosquitoes.
3.) Non-fatal STDs.
4.) The general stupidity of mankind.
I’m voting #1 with #4 a close second.
Anyone else?
lol I’d go for seven!!!! OR WAIT… DID I JUST GIVE MYSELF AWAY???DANM;)
Gha, can’t bring myself any lower then that, sorry people, I had planned on a parody of sorts, but then, too tired to even make myself crack a smile, so I figure I’ll spare you. Glad to see the loyals are still around: hard core rock on!
Anko: you rock my socks! If I even need a stylist…
and as for the votes: 4 with 1 in close second, as in my opinion, one is a direct result of four.
To Micah:
Not meant to be funny dumbass. That was a scathing remark telling that jackass that wow, oh my God, we are on the internet. As if I give a flying fuck about what people on the Internet say or think. Seriously, I know it wasn’t funny in the first place, and frankly, i couldn’t give two shits. When I care what someone says on the internet, I will personally contact you and tell you all about it. Now if you would kindly get fucked, that is all.
“Anyone who is over the age of 16 and doesn’t have the basic sense to carry a dictionary in the house has to be retarded.”
Unfortunately most of those people don’t wish to be called nerds so they never pick it up. They do have it though, it’s that big thick book they throw at the annoying younger sibling who opens their door while their doing stuff, or interupts their time with their girlfriends/hand (quite often the same thing unfortunately*).
George (KITEY IS DEAD:0)
*I am not saying their girlfriend is doing it for them, just for all you stupid people out there.
I’m a little mean, but could someone seriously consider banning “Sarcasm”.
Said person obviously cannot take a joke and by the statement they just made, they apparently DO CARE what people on the internet say; otherwise, they would not have felt it necessary to state that fact.
Also, I would say “Sarcasm” lacks the intelligence and decorum to have a full-on rant without implenting profanities because this person cannot think of anything better to say.
I second banning a bunch of people. We are here to talk about the comic, not bitch at each other. If you have some much anger you need to rant here, grab a pillow and punch. Do we need to have another group hug? I’ll make cookies this time?
Did I not just say that I am a mean person? I don’t deny it. I don’t make excuses for it. In fact, I find it entertaining; and because I am a selfish person, I just don’t give a crap.
Probably the only difference between me and “sarcasm” is a better vocabulary, a much thicker skin, and picking my battles.
In case you haven’t noticed, this person just told EVERYONE (including you) to go F….. themselves. That is just not cool.
I actually have quite an extensive vocabulary, thank you very much. Just so you know, I was calm the entire time I actually wrote that so called “rant”. I was bored and decided to stir the pot a little. Now apparently you have taken some kind of offense, Shayna. Besides, who made you the end-all be-all of anything whatsoever? I digress. Superiority complex anyone? Sounds like someone has to point out something wrong with everyone else to hide her own insecurities. Like I said, this is the internet. This is probably just your way of taking out your anger at being an insignificant little girl, which I feel so sorry for you then. Have a good day princess!
Besides, when you admit you are a mean and selfish person, that is sad in and of itself…. I pity you more than anything, you sad pathetic person. No matter the response you supply I shall not wast my time trying to cure your ignorance. I bid you good day!
Oh, he did NOT just do a 19th-century storm off!
Hell, yeah, he did.
God damn, he’s got an ego.
Seriously, though, everyone really should chill out. Talk about the comic, not the fact that it’s late, nor the fact that some people are idiots.
Or… you could prove my theory that Bobby’s really an evil genius bent on making us destroy each other.
I like that one.
Shayna: “In case you haven’t noticed, this person just told EVERYONE (including you) to go F….. themselves. That is just not cool.”
He was obviously telling people they should engage in the safe sex of solitary masturbation, Shayna. What’s to be angry about?
You prude.
So far I’ve seen you have fights with 3 people who are not me and I’m seriously feeling left out.
Sarcasm: “This is probably just your way of taking out your anger at being an insignificant little girl, which I feel so sorry for you then. Have a good day princess!”
hey man… you’re stealing my fire. I’m the one who’s supposed to make sexist comments and gain Shayna’s angry comments.
Shayna: “Probably the only difference between me and “sarcasm” is a better vocabulary, a much thicker skin, and picking my battles.”
She learned this after I won our last battle. My cunning retorts left her in awe of my greatness, so she refuses to verbally spar with me again. I will thusly bask in my victory gloat.
I gloat at thee!
Sarcasm: “I bid you good day!”
Nothing says classy like quoting Fez from That 70s Show.
Even when I was 13 and lived in the projects, I was never royalty!
That is so cool.
Hey JON, I never thought of either of us came out a winner. Apparently, you never read my last comment on that page. I stopped battling you because we both thought the same thing about each other.
I thought you were an obese gamer too! lol. That was just so cute, I decided to leave you alone.
Hard to believe, but I am human occasionally. I don’t know why anyone thought Fez was funny.
The only episode I saw was the one where the dark haired chick had to decide between two guys, and chose herself instead because she imagined that she was running across a beach toward her lover, and it turned out to be herself.
THAT IS THE BEST EXPLANATION OF NARCISSISM I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!
Its official I now love the comments almost as much as the comic. Shayna being my fav. I like really love you in a nonsexual completely platonic get drunk and possible try to kiss you sort of way. I really love this comic too. It’s to the point I have forsaken all other comics I use to read including the one my brother does. It might be causing familial problems resulting in my parent divorce.
Usually I don’t read the comments unless I’m bored or trying to see what other people think about the page while I wait for a new one. But seriously, these comments ARE for talking about the comment, not for calling every Nazis or telling them to do inappropriate things or whatnot. It’s also not about whining for new pages, but I can understand that to a degree.
If I was worried that a comic I liked was going to stop updating, I’d try and contact the author/artist/person in charge to express my love of their comic and ask if the comic was going to stop. So while after the umpteenth time it DOES get annoying that people are still asking, cut them a little slack. Most of them are just probably worried that a comic they like might stop updating for good.
I would also like to say that I rather enjoyed this page. I was a little confused about Rage’s power until I read the comments, but I wasn’t looking all that hard for what it was, and so I missed it even though the answer was smacking me in the face. >.<
If my husband wasn’t my very own cross between Satan and Trent Reznor, only taller, I’d give you a cyber-kiss.
I have never addressed this because it was just kind of redundant, but…
HE’S FAST. OKAY. RAGE HAS SUPER SPEED. Either that or he’s a flipping tornado.
ANY WAY YOU PUT IT, HE IS FAST!
Everyone of you who has repeated this question has made me want to shave my head, paint myself white, stick pins in my head, and join an un-earthly plane of hell.
i miss the good old days of people arguing because one person doesn’t believe that everybody in the world can actually be dead, or there’s too few survivors, or, my fave, the people wouldn’t want to have sex to repopulate. i mean those were stupid too, but at least they were somewhat on topic. now people just flare up an argument based on….well anything else other than the story.
in reference to the comic updates, or lack there of, um, we already know why. both bobby and owen are making more money from their other comics, bobby’s being a lazy bastard with LB, but trying to meet his deadlines with MM (which is also good check it out), and there’s no real demand to finish/update LB right now.
i mean as good as the comic is, when i check the page and still see Rage leaping out the window, only reaction is a quick “damn” and keep on clicking. there’s no real reason to bitch about it here. as i recall, he asked that you send him e-mails telling him to get back to work lol.
but in that same sense, i’m seeing a lot of cries for attention here. i mean you hiding behind an anonymous name, we have no real way of identifying you, you say you don’t care, but you come back and not only defend yourself, insult. bravo. me personally, i’m just tired of stupid pointless arguments about nothing. somebody start one about how Addison can’t be dead because it wasn’t in his contract or something.
almost said a lot of nothing and left out my point. i’m not saying “can’t we all just get along?” i’m saying “can’t we all just ignore the stupid ones?”
if you see somebody coming on here just blurting out something of utter stupidity, just look over it and keep going. with nobody to argue with, they’ll just eventually shut up. well, unless they’re a true die-hard and create another name and argue with themselves. i’m willing to bet my last cookie that it’s probably just the same people getting banned and come picking fights under a new name because mommy and daddy are busy, girlfriend/boyfriend doesn’t exist, and they need some attention.
i usually stay out of things that are not story related but it’s just getting annoying. but i was speaking in general, if i pissed you off, then you’re one of those people, and i apologize for nothing. come back and bash me, call me gay, say i have no life blah blah blah. won’t get a response out of me. that is all.
Since we don’t know what Addison, and thus Sullivan’s actual power was, Addison might be able to return. The power to be unundead would be interesting, and very useful. Sophia stakes Sullivan, starts a rant, and Sullivan gets back up and stakes her. That would be a cool scene.
But Bobby said no more present Payne, so that isn’t happening. But hopefully someone will only read part of this and start a conversation. Theinen, I hope it works too.
“somebody start one about how Addison can’t be dead because it wasn’t in his contract or something.”
hehe I laughed pretty hard when i read this.
“The power to be unundead would be interesting, and very useful”
Is unundead alive or dead cause its widely accepted that even though undead should be the opposite of dead, thus alive, its actually living dead like zombie, vampire, werewolf and other such creatures. However unundead is new so does it kill him or bring him back to living dead or what, interesting aint it? And yes I did finish reading Tegu’s comment and also remembered that the legend that is Bobby Crosby said Addison is dead, he is not coming back, but as he said at the end he wants someone to start and conversation and suprise, suprise, I’m someone YAY!
Actually, those are my “quotable quotes”. Sometimes when I am having a conversation, I will come up with some funny or insane metaphor and I do write those down.
What I just wrote was not orignal. Many people say “never say never”. It is just a personal rule I try to follow.
I never say never absolutely, unless it’s about liking gangster rap. That I am absolutely sure I don’t care to listen to.
You know shayna assuming ash is a girl giving her a cyber-kiss is acceptable under Guy-Code 134B. The only provisos being your husband is understanding and there to bear witness. I’m not making this up to see some cyber kissin instead of cyber fightin.
RPGeek I concur and move that we find a way to melt down Last Blood so we may take shots of Pure Awesome.
Shayna:”Hey JON, I never thought of either of us came out a winner. Apparently, you never read my last comment on that page. I stopped battling you because we both thought the same thing about each other.”
Nah, you stopped because you feared my awesomeness.
Don’t worry, I totally agree with you that I’m awesome.
But I shall miss the tender moments of flinging insults at each other.
“If my husband wasn’t my very own cross between Satan and Trent Reznor, only taller, I’d give you a cyber-kiss. ”
Describing yourself as the bride of satan explains a lot.
I once tried to sell my soul to satan for a cheese danish, but he gave me a plain danish, so I consider the contract to be void. Pass it on to the hubby.
Thenien: “come back and bash me, call me gay,”

RPGeek: “I don’t know which I enjoy more: The comic itself, or the squabbling idiots in the comments.”
Shayna he just called you a squabbling idiot. Attack! Give him another quotable quote!
“…yeah, it’s the comic. But the squabbling idots are fun too.”
Hold off on the attack…
Dr.Pecos:”The only provisos being your husband is understanding and there to bear witness.”
Satan is well known to support and encourage threesomes.
1. I agree with the people who’ve said they enjoy the comments almost as much as the comics, but not with the ones who say y’all’re idiots. (Though, I must say, some of my faves are the ones where people bash each other’s spelling and make spelling mistakes of their own. With my luck, I’ve made one here. Hopefully it will provide amusement for someone else.)
2. In a likely futile attempt to bring comments back on topic (ish)… Has anyone here seen the movie Fido? There are zombies. It’s good fun.
3. Since y’all are vampire fans (or at least fans of one vampire comic), I want your opinion. Do the Wraith on Stargate Atlantis count as a type of vampire? They suck life force out of humans in order to live forever.
4. Does Rage remind anyone else at least a little bit of Sabertooth from X-Men? Not that this detracts from his awesomeness in any way. If anything, I think the association adds to it. Though I have to admit I’m more of a fan of finesse than all-out, brute-force slaughter.
5. Do we get to see Devian again soon? I miss her. (Sorry if it’s already been asked.)
6. Yeah, I have no idea why I’m using numbers either.
I have a proposal. We should let Bobby and Owen off the hook for a while, like 2 or 3 weeks. During that time, they would work on getting the comic AHEAD of schedule. So, when they would post the next page, they’d already have the next 2 made. That way, even if there’s a hitch, we get our new page, and Bobby and Owen can work without the pressure. What do you think?
I’m still wondering what Sullivan’s power is. I’m kinda hoping it’s speed too. If Addison had speed, he might have been able to think faster. That would help him in his work. It also means that Sullivan’s zombies could grab some axes and just run through Francis’ leftover super sniffers.
I think I’ve said many times that not all vampires have some special power. I certainly have no idea what Sullivan’s “power” is. Probably won’t ever come up, but I don’t know at this point.
Personally I love a cool power that involves a disablement. It sounds twisted, but it is also character defect I can’t resist.
I figured it would suck pretty bad if I couldn’t use my voice anymore (I sing).
But what if I had a voice that would shatter stone and warp steel. I would have to deal with being mute, except when I decide to destroy things.
I think that would be a cool power to live with.
To answer all of your questions….Yes, I am a Sci-Fi Nerd and have the Original Directors Cut of DUNE from the 80s. In fact, I may watch it this weekend!
Sorry Gang! Apparently Bobby sent me a new page a couple weeks ago but I didn’t get it somehow, I will soon. I’ll start it as soon as I can. Blame the internets!
‘Sarcasm’ got banned? Awwwe… I didn’t even get a chance to respond to his idiotic tirade telling me to fuck off simply because I said he wasn’t funny. Seriously though, you’d think if someone chose a name like “sarcasm” they’d at least use sarcasm or irony in what they said, even if they weren’t funny. Anyway, I’ve probably already said it, but Bobby, Owen, great work as always. Can’t wait for more.
Sullivan = smarts. He was already the uberathlete and possibly the straight A student before he went off to war, the granddaughter shows signs of both. Addison = smarts, so this could possibly be the linkage. Of course, Sullivan would need more time to gain the knowledge and facilities needed to even come close to filling Addison’s shoes, so all that would have to show now is that he is quick on the uptake.
Sorry Gang! I was just informed that there wasn’t a new script after all. Bobby said soon though. I’ll have something next week for sure (and maybe word on a NEW Crosby-company horror comic).
As I said many times, the main problem is there’s no deadline with LB anymore, as there currently is for MM, and as there was for LB at various times in the past. The main problem other than my lack of effort, that is. I’ve pretty much been doing the bare minimum for a while.
Hopefully, there will be more good times ahead. LB, in terms of plot, is developing really nice. I’m dying to see some young Francis/Sully flashbacks at some point
heh, you know…
everyone, including me, will be a zombie if this were all true ^_^
but you know…. if i WAS a zombie, i rather let val decapitate me and use me as a gold ball XD
not rage
with superspeed
doing the old swithcheroo
cause i dont want my brains to be eaten.
“Personally I love a cool power that involves a disablement. It sounds twisted, but it is also character defect I can’t resist” Kind of like cyclops from xmen? I suppose that’d be an interesting twist for one of the vampires, and i also wonder whos going to turn math into a vampire? Would he reain his smell from his past vampirism and gain whatver he would from whoever bit him next?
Shayna:”I figured it would suck pretty bad if I couldn’t use my voice anymore (I sing). ”
And yet you’d still be able to type. Where’s the justice in that?
“But what if I had a voice that would shatter stone and warp steel. I would have to deal with being mute, except when I decide to destroy things.”
Of all the powers to steal from the comics, the fact that you stole Black Bolt’s power simply leaves me speechless.
Get it?! It’s a pun! Speechless! HA!
*looks around, hears crickets chirp, otherwise… silence*
pfft.
Ah you guys suck.
“You guys fucking suck” …. I think I’ve said that before…. It was just after I got tasered by some cops…. But…. That’s a story for another time…. lmao!!!
Tegu: “And yes, that was a good pun.”
Thank you!

I mean… screw you! :I
“Sorry man, just old.”
Like yo mama!
Yo momma’s so old that when she was in school there was no history class!
“Might have been better in person, but text like this, it’s got no inflection.”
It did have inflection, but that all cleared up after I rubbed some ointment and neosporin on it.
*pause while that stupid cricket continues to chirp amidst silence*
You guys SUCK!
She served at the Last Supper.
She sat behind Jesus in the third grade.
When I told her to act her age, she died.
On her drivers license, it says expired.
Is so fat…
She puts her lipstick on with a paint roller.
She walked in front of the TV and we missed two episodes of Friends.
She has to pull down her pants to get in her pockets.
Her belly button doesn’t have lint, it has sweaters.
Her blood type is Ragu.
She went into a restaurant, looked at the menu, and said “Ok.”
Is so dumb…
She failed a survey.
She put a stamp on a fax.
She took a penny to the bank and asked for change.
She died at a drive in movie theater. She went to see “Closed for the Winter.”
Is so ugly…
She went to the beauty parlor, and it took them three hours for an estimate.
She went to a strip club and they paid her to keep her clothes on. And that money is sending you to college.
Is so drunk they found traces of blood in her alcohol stream.
Got anything else to say about my momma? I’ll be sure to forward it to the afterlife.
Okay, I’ve had some thoughts in the interim of a new comic. If a wrestler should play Rage in an eventual movie, there should only be one choice, that of ‘Lionheart’ Chris Jericho, since upon review, Rage is more feline in his lycantropic appearance than lupine.
Next, Anko, you are the seriously hardcore fan, thus you are the Parker of Lost Blood.
Finally, please drop the “Yo Momma” jokes… they’re like dinosaur turds, old and crappy.
And if you are suffering from the delusion that I need to prove my intelligence here, and I shall do so using “yo mama” jokes, I pity the April fool. I just know jokes, and felt like sharing. Thought it might be a good distraction from the bickering,
1-7 days after update: People are happy, joking around, saying how awesome the page is, even having conversations and making predictions. Some stupid questions are asked.
8-15 days after update: People start grumbling, asking more stupid questions, and asking semi-politely for an update. The predictions get rediculous, and usually feature Chuck Norris or other pop-culture in-jokes.
16-23 days after update: People start waging all-out war with eachother over anything and everything. People get banned. People wage more war with eachother over whether or not the banned people should have been banned in the first place. The banned people come back with different emails and screen names and start new fights People demand an update, using all caps.
1 month after update: We go into severe LB withdrawl. The ‘yo momma’ jokes appear. People like me get bored and do things like this.
March 8th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
So Rage’s power is superspeed?
March 8th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
fist comment..i think
..gotta love rage and his need to kill every fucking zombie he sees…love the comic keep it up
March 8th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
ok dang second place..id say he teleports
March 8th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
awesome page
“You guys fuckin suck” a quote we have all used at one time or another
March 8th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
woo new page!
can’t wait to find out his power
March 8th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
marry me updated too?!
this is awesome
March 8th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
you gotta be kidding me? teleportation? >.> no offense but that’s kinda lame.
March 8th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Rage definitely doesn’t teleport.
March 8th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
WOO-HOO!
awesome art Owen
March 8th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Well if he’s able to run really fast in addition to his claws and strength I could see him be able to kinda sythe this way through groups of zombies.
To bad if it is his power its going to be negated by having to avoid the “good” zombies.
March 8th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
It will be fairly easy to avoid the good zombies, since they’re essentially all grouped together and not scattered amongst the enemy. And Rage isn’t THAT fast anyway.
March 8th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Still if he had super speed that would be one deadly vampire.
super strength
super speed
determinism
no fear
scary enemy.
Anyways I wonder what his power is. I hope the next page is up soon. Suspense is a bitch.
March 8th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
“And Rage isn’t THAT fast anyway.” I’m sure his power is superspeed
March 8th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
You are correct.
March 8th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Know what his power is?
To run at cars.
Suspense over.
March 8th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Omg, the Badassiosity of this comic is totaly worth the wait. Though the color seems a bit overly done, considering the theme of the Comic, I’m always open to change. Hope the following pages come sooner then this last one >_<
March 8th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Awesome! Page 8 =p
…i don’t actually have that much more to say actually.
March 8th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
lmao!!! i love that look on Sully’s face!
“Yea you better not scratch my zombies bitch! I’m still making payments on them!”
lol is that just me or was that intentional?
March 8th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
I like how Rage seems to be directly jumping from frame one to frame two. Most people don’t pull off having characters passing over into another frame very well, but this had great effect. I really got the feeling he was jumping out of the school instead of just picturing it.
March 8th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
sorry for double, got called away, sensitive mousepad on this laptop, hit “post” before i left apparantly.
just wanted to say, yes Bobby, you were dead on lol. Rage’s power is interesting, then it becomes, “Oh really? Superspeed……..wow….yea…. neat >.>”
but hey, at least now he’s a full berserker, speed and power lol.
March 8th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
Celestial choirs rang out in an immaculate chorus, as down from the heavens descended superspeed RAGE.
And a new page! Uber-woot!
March 8th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
It’s not necessarily Rage that’s coming at the car in the last panel, could be invisibility.
March 8th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
So um… Super speed or Invisibilty… Maybe he turns into a monster, so they couldn’t recognize Rage.
March 8th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Woah I can definitely tell a difference in that art, Was this done on your old Wacom tablet?
Everything looks so much brighter, I also suppose being outside has something to do with the light.
Good job, I’m glad to see an update.
March 8th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
If a common human recently turned vampire can’t recognize what is “coming towards us” is, then my guess he’s turned into some kind of cool mutated (possibly giant) creature.
March 8th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Frickin’ sweet! Rage kicks so much ass, and it seems he does it in a third of the time ^_^
March 8th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
Oh man, Rage is the awesomest.
Also i’m Really loving the colour.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:01 am
Rage fucking ROCKS!!!
March 9th, 2008 at 12:13 am
When do we this line: “Screw you guys, I’m going home!” ?
(I am almost serious. References to popular culture on right spot always kick ass.)
March 9th, 2008 at 12:14 am
Forgot the word “see” from my recent post.
“When do we SEE this line…”
March 9th, 2008 at 12:35 am
The first panel is amazing. And his power kicks ass, he could definitely kill a lot of zombies.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:37 am
rage reminds me of what zakk wylde would be like if he was a vampire
March 9th, 2008 at 1:03 am
I really love the colouring of Sullivan’s eye in the bottom left panel, specifically his right one (our left side). And his entire expression is brilliant as well. Good job, Owen. Rage jumping out the window is also terrific; love the shadow behind him, enhancing his movement through the panel and suggesting his speed. Part of what I love about this comic is how it’s not a Japanese anime style, more of a Western comic book style, which fits much more with the plot and tone of the comic. There are some elements of eastern animation-type style, particularly in the type of lines used, but it is a dominantly Western. So refreshing from all the anime comics out there on the internet.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:26 am
Gah, I’m never going to manage to be quick with the comment here..
Hm.. Dust cloud.. “thing”.. Should be wild
March 9th, 2008 at 1:32 am
you know as good as owens art is. i love the writing. especially the writing for rage. rage is like me if i was a vampire and it makes me love this comic even more.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:47 am
Woot ! Update. Excellent. And an excelle update at that. Woot !
March 9th, 2008 at 1:49 am
Ah, sorry for doublepost. Is his power perhaps invisibility or some sort of cloak ?
March 9th, 2008 at 2:01 am
Wow.. i didn’t expect this to be honest. Rage sure is an unquie character.
or is he kinda like a shapeshifter? hmm i think i will see it in the next page. just keep up the good job. ^_^
March 9th, 2008 at 2:12 am
“Is his power perhaps invisibility or some sort of cloak ?”
“or is he kinda like a shapeshifter?”
No. His power is super speed.
March 9th, 2008 at 2:22 am
Is he running on all fours or somesuch?
March 9th, 2008 at 2:48 am
That was well worth the wait
Great job Bobby en Owen! The last blood goodness just doesnt stop!
So… superspeed aye? Could be but maybe (just maybe) Rage looks a little feral doesn’t he? Could be he gets his superspeed from …
dum-da-dum
BEING A WEREWOLF! It would aal make sense, the claws , the overabundance of facial hair. And why Murdo doesn’t recognise em.
On the other hand their truck might be the acclimated zombies rushing ahead to the taste of human blood.
OMG i am loving this comic so much. It’s thoroughly stained in awesome sauce. Keep up the good work!
March 9th, 2008 at 2:50 am
Bobby has confirmed it already folks, its super speed.
Which doesnt seem like much, but when its rage… it’s still pretty awsome.
Awsome Birthday present, thanks Bobby
March 9th, 2008 at 2:50 am
hmmm…. now that i think about it….
super speed, super strength, enjoys pain (effectively making him immune to its effects), just add in flight and laser eyes and what do you get?
RAGE IS SUPERMAN!!!!
so glad for a new update
March 9th, 2008 at 3:57 am
Wow, don’t people read the comments before they post themselves? All the speculation over Rage’s “super” power after it has been explicitly stated that it is super speed.
Over which, by the way, I am extremely disappointed. I REALLY wanted it to be ballet dancing
LOVE the page! Rage makes every page he is in full of PURE AWESOMESAUCE(tm) with a side of BaWOOOOONGGGG!
Whatever that means
I need to go to bed now …
March 9th, 2008 at 5:12 am
Katy, he can have superspeed BECAUSE he is a werewolf, couldn’t he?
just poking fun at things; did read the Crosby’s affermation of Rage’s superspeed power… still it has also been said that he isn’t “that fast”… so how come Sully didnt see him vanish?
because he is a superspeed burrowing werewolf, that’s what!
i’ll just stop with the Rage conjecture… last panel is probably something to o with zombies anyhoo… or maybe not, seeing as Big Black doesn’t seem impressed at all. He probably saw rage doing something similar before…
March 9th, 2008 at 5:33 am
Rage is just… You can’t NOT love him and be so scared of him you want to piss yourself at the same time? LOL He’s so awesome! I just LOVE the expression on Sully’s face too. lol He’s like “Does NOTHING phaze this guy till you tell him he can’t kill something?!”
I still think that confused Sully is adorable. lol
So rage’s power is super speed hm? Hey you were right about that “Hm that’s nice…” reaction. Still pretty neat though. Definitely has some destructive potential. lol And to the people that say his lame… Bobby TOLD you you’d find it boring.
March 9th, 2008 at 6:12 am
“Big Black doesn’t seem impressed at all. He probably saw rage doing something similar before”
yeah black has seen Rage run before, so he is not so impressed.
On the other side is it safe to say that Rage is the deadliest vampire out of all of them?
I mean as I said before super strength, super speed, fearless, and even though I do not have evidence I a guessing that he is intelligent and knows how to make tactical moves and isn’t just “run in and destroy” kind of vampire.
March 9th, 2008 at 6:23 am
“So Rage’s power is superspeed?”
Fits pretty well in the sense of the word “rage,” don’t you think?
Superspeed = Rage goes on a killing spree!
March 9th, 2008 at 6:41 am
Katy, to be fair we don’t know if rage has taken ballet dancing, and we do know he has super speed. maybe he can ballet dance at super speed!
March 9th, 2008 at 6:41 am
Rats, I was sure my guess was near the mark, it would have fit so well with Rage’s love of pain.
Given that vampires have increased strength, stamina, smell, etc. compared to a normal human would it be reasonable to assume that they are also a little faster? The fastest recorded human with independent evidence is something like twenty two miles per hour. So, how fast is “not that fast” super-speed? Is Rage double a human’s top speed? Triple? More?
Inquisitively yours, Sci Guy
March 9th, 2008 at 6:44 am
I’m wondering if we’ll see rage jump the truck in the next comic. See what kind of distance he can get with that super speed.
March 9th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Rage has super speed. Bobby was kinda right, it’s awesome cause it’s Rage, but other than that it’s a pretty boring super power. Can’t wait to see page 9, that’ll be funny, awesome and several other excellent things thrown in for good measure.
March 9th, 2008 at 9:00 am
I was thinking the same thing Zaldaran.
Maybe he runs by and looking through the window of the car we get to see him decapitate 10 zombies at once.
March 9th, 2008 at 9:31 am
Dude! Super speed ain’t boring!
When I saw that rage had that I nearly crapped myself for the zombies that no longer have bowel movements.
Rage is scary and strong enough but there is always the very small possibility of fleeing for your life.
But this?! This is the epitome of zombie genocide.
I don’t even wanna imagine him after a tall glass of fresh blood.
March 9th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Very nice. For a moment there, I thought his power was ultra fast digging. You’ll notice that in the 2nd panel, his hand is sort of ready to start digging, and it looks similar in the 4th panel. It would fit in the description, sort of boring. Well, super speed works well too.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
I don’t want to be bitchy or something… But Sully looks too confused if we take into account, that rage precisely said where he’s going on the previous page.
Or maybe he’s heading for a group of zombies that Sully hasn’t sniffed yet?
And yeah, Sullivan’s page in that panel is awesome.
Rage is just awesome.
And my, Math looks more like a wuss with each panel. Well, sucks to be him. Or not anymore (bad pun).
March 9th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
“But Sully looks too confused if we take into account, that rage precisely said where he’s going on the previous page.”
That’s not why Sully’s confused. He’s not wondering where Rage is going — he’s wondering how he’s getting there, since he just saw Rage basically disappear. One second Rage was right out there where he could see him, next second (maybe after Sullivan blinked) he was gone.
March 9th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
That would explain this:
http://www.lastblood.net/main/2007/10/30/page-91-hes-here/
He seems to move super fast there, but I think it’s a coincidence
You said that it would be boring, but I don’t think it is. Picture a vampire blindingly fast disposing of an army of zombies, then the massive gallons of zombie blood raining at almost the same time covering the sky and blocking the sun… awesome!
March 9th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Ugh, I know they look very similar there, but that’s not Rage in Panel 3, that’s Eddie. This was discussed often at the time.
http://www.lastblood.net/main/2007/10/30/page-91-hes-here/#comment-8267
March 9th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
I’d agree with Krasno on his link, Rage in panel 5 of 1-91 has some of the little “speedy” lines around his body hinting at a superspeed ability, at least for sprints. I’d say sprints since otherwise we’d seen something different if it was an “always on” ability. Of course, panel 6 of 1-91 with panel 4 of this one makes for the cool Rage as vampiric lycanthropic mix hints from the artwork.
Unless Rage plays games (entirely likely IMO from what we’ve seen of him) by making his “playing” more exciting by not using his full skill against “lesser” opponents, I’d think he either cannot go full out all the time or he has been conserving his power to stretch his other combat abilities out at higher power levels.
March 9th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Even though he has super speed, it doesn’t mean he won’t use it in an interesting way. For instance, running straight THROUGH zombies! Now that would be cool.
March 9th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
I’ve been following this comic for a while now, even posted in one of Mr. Crosby’s other comic comments…
When do we get to see the few humans on the International Space Station deal with their dwindling supplies? I’d even be cool if it was a mostly female crew and the vamps had to deal with trying to get them down safely to help the gene pool diversify more…
Also, having read the comic, to me, it seems Rage’s “power” must be partially redistributing his body-mass, as he definitely has changed his face & teeth to be more lupine in certain instances… I’d almost say his theme song would be Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like The Wolf”…
March 9th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Rage’s superpower should totally spread to his facial hair too.
“But I shaved it this morning!”
March 9th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
here’s an interesting question…. who are you going to get to play Rage in the movie? lol, Just had that thought when I was checking back. I mean character fitting, MAYBE Vin Diesel if you could get him in a wig. From Rage’s first appearance I would say Triple H, but yea… unfortunately I saw Blade Trinity (which is kinda ironic since he was s’posed to be the Rage type vampire) so that’s a no. Vin Diesel would probably make a better Addison though, could work.
Was just tossing ideas around in my head when I remembered that a movie was in the works, I remember you posting a picture of the actress who offered to play Val, but I don’t THINK there’s been anymore postings, if there has, my bad. But do you have people in mind as far as main cast go?
Math suggestion? Keanu Reeves, he’s done the badass to pansy thing before. Anybody remember Neo? (sarcasm for Keanu as nomination)
March 9th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Obviously, Rage’s power is scaring the shit out of everyone.
March 9th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Murdo is a new vampire so he’s probably never seen much of vampire’s special abilities, Devian’s flying ability is probably the extent of which. But it’s fairly obvious Rage has shown his ability before cause the vamp’ driving the car barely even looks like he cares what he’s seeing.
March 10th, 2008 at 12:42 am
Dan: “On the other side is it safe to say that Rage is the deadliest vampire out of all of them?”
No way man, Addison was the most dangerous of all the vampires, seriously with that level of intelligence, experience(as one of the older vampires, perhaps even the oldest vampire), the ability to call himself Addison Fucking Payne (AFP as we’ve dubbed it) without seeming to be a overconfident jackass. He also created a cure for vampirism, imagine that potential in weaponry and last but not least the ability to act nonchalant around Sofia. If that doesn’t make him deadly nothing will or should.
Bobby: I love this page it is brilliant. I have a question though. Does Rage’s super speed apply to just running/ways of movement. Because if it doesn’t and also applies to arms and fists he will be even more deadly in a fight(is that possible!).
Owen: This detail is awesome. The daylight looks fantastic, as does the detail of different muscle tissue layers on Sully’s arm and face. For some reason I can’t get over them.

Woooooooooooooooowwwww! I feel good! nanananannannah I knew that would! nnananananananah. I feel nice! nanannananananannah. Sugar and spice!
So good.
So nice.
I got to view!!!

March 10th, 2008 at 7:48 am
Uhm. Ok. I get it now.
Still, I think an additional panel showing the exact same spot on the ground but without Rage would make more sense. Or something.
As it is now it left me as confused as Sully (I don’t read every discussion in comments, so the super speed thing is new to me).
March 10th, 2008 at 8:29 am
I imagine that there is a giant dust cloud that Murdo is seeing. It’s being kicked up may Rage’s super speed running.
And I think it would be wise to not say he has super strength, but instead enhanced strength. Murdo has a super nose, while other vampires have enhanced noses. Rage is the strongest, but this may simply mean that there is no super strength, or they are all dead. Who knows?
Bobby does, that’s who!
March 10th, 2008 at 8:42 am
No Bobby, I know that wasn’t Rage in the first panels, I meant when he runs for the zombies in the last panels
March 10th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Bill M, it was stated a large number of times that THOSE ARE THE LAST OF HUMANITY AND EVERYONE ELSE IS DEAD OR A ZOMBIE BY NOW. And there are lots of perfectly plausible theories about how did the people on space died: WLB nuked them (he got the stuff to do it, it would be a shame not to!!!), they came down by themselves to aid or to protect their loved ones, they went nuts and kill each other/themselves, etc…
Also Bobby said that before posting a comment read the others and the FAQ or else he will ban your sorry ass *not sic*

Yay, it’s Big Black again!
And one day we may find out his name so we don’t have to call him Big Black
(I’m politically incorrect enough as it is)

“As it is now it left me as confused as Sully (I don’t read every discussion in comments, so the super speed thing is new to me).”
Um, it’s supposed to leave you confused as it is now. Obviously the next page will make things clear.
“No Bobby, I know that wasn’t Rage in the first panels, I meant when he runs for the zombies in the last panels”
Don’t get it — he doesn’t show any special speed in the last panels.
“Also Bobby said that before posting a comment read the others and the FAQ or else he will ban your sorry ass”
I’ve never said that in any way. The closest I’ve come to that only applied to people whining about a specific topic, like if they said on Page 7 that Math’s human now so he shouldn’t be able to tear chains, ignoring the million comments whining about that and explaining it previously on the same damn comments page. I’ve also told you to post less, and from now on you’re only allowed one comment per page (and no more for this page).
March 10th, 2008 at 11:43 am
nice update and nice artwork.
Only thing I am complaining about are the blodd splatters “on” the last panel.
It looks as if an imaginary reader (nose)bled on the comic.
(o0and the roof of the car seems to have no perspective, but that’s ignorable.
keep up the ver, very, good work in story and artwork bobby & owen!
March 10th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Um, one thing I’ve been worrying about for the last couple pages… where did Sullivan’s zombies come from? I’m assuming he could only control zombies he’d actually made, or else TFZ’s leftover zombies would not be an issue, he could just take them over.
“I was three weeks too late to save the world, but maybe I can save you,”
I forget how long it’s been… thirty-two days… minus three weeks… eleven days? Sullivan has had the last eleven days to gather an army? but every soldier he gets is one less human… So I’d assume that of all the humans left eleven days ago (which weren’t many), Sullivan got half.
It strikes me as kinda defeating the purpose, honestly… I mean, I see why he would, because he NEEDED that army… and Francis was just gonna get them if he didn’t… But also, how could Sullivan have found those remaining humans before Francis did, if they were hiding from Francis, who (because of his better sense of smell) had a much better chance of finding them?
So tell me, if you don’t mind, how exactly did it work out that Sullivan got an army of zombies that could even be considered helpful, and of course his thinking on it, how he decided that that was necessary (cause I don’t think he’d be willing to do it if he had another choice). I can see that it was the only way, but how could you do that? Kill more humans to stop someone from killing all the humans? We’re down to freaking 23(24), and a chunk of the ‘dead’ are Sullivan’s fault (albeit a comparatively small chunk).
And how was he to know, in any one town that he got to before Francis, that this wasn’t the last town? that these last few humans weren’t THE last few humans? that he should be saving them, not using them. That the last piece of the annihilation of our planet wouldn’t have been his fault.
Honestly, from Sullivan’s POV, he must have been expecting for the two of them to wipe out the entire human race, all the vampires to die (well, not exactly DIE…), and then he and Francis to battle it out in one final Schaemiac vs Schaemiac zombie battle to the finish. Because that’s definately the more likely outcome.
Oh, yeah, that reminds me. If they’d lost and all of the humans had died, the zombies would have wandered around until they’d decomposed, and we’d be left with one giant, dead planet. I wonder if that’s not what happened to Mars? ;P
March 10th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
I think super speed is a awesome power and Alex Raymond agrees with me.
March 10th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Ummm. dude the ‘blood splatters’ are only more vivid on the windshield of the truck, there are other splatters but hey are more brown and faded on the body of the truck because of its rusted color.
Maybe you should learn how to spell before you attempt at being at art critic.
March 10th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
When I first saw the last pannel I was all… Rage, don’t kill Murdo! XD Nice… Rage’s like a superspeed buldozer, he kills all zombies, wheee! Loved the page, can’t wait for more! ^^
March 10th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
“Ugh, I know they look very similar there, but that’s not Rage in Panel 3, that’s Eddie. This was discussed often at the time.” – Bobby Crosby
If you’re worried about them looking similar maybe you can work into the story something along the lines of Eddie being the one who turned Rage. Or that they share a similar power. Really I don’t care, there is enough difference to tell them apart.
Anyway great comic guys. Awesome story, awesome art, what more can anyone ask for?
March 10th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Loving it, as usual.
I am happy that his “two” superpowers can be linked in some way (super strenght, super speed). Kind of logical AND completes well one another. (nice muscles
)
Him liking pain is probably sadly not gonna affect much when he kills zombies since I seem to remember that zombies try to go for the human and have a strong tendency to ignore zombies or vampires unless they are blocking their way. Maybe it was only the zombies though. But since they are not controlled anymore and vamps are dead…
Also, hey, if you got to give your blood to one vamp and hope he does the most damage with it, I’d so choose Rage
March 10th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Yesssss…..I’ve got my ‘Last Blood’ fix. Totally worth the wait.
Poor, poor Rage. he missed the big fight, got wrapped up in chains and forgotten, and then was told he could only kill *certain* zombies. This just isn’t his day.
And I love Sully’s facial expressions–ever since he first showed up on..pg… 4, I want to say, he keeps cracking me up– expecially the atom bomb comment last page and “Hey, where’d he go?!?” And panel three is pure gold. Owen, you’re amazing.
And on the lameness scale, there are powers that are WAAAAY lamer than super speed. I guess the speed thing’s been done quite a bit in other stuff, but still. It’s not jaw-droppingly awesome, but it’s not totally lame either.
Random question: When are we going back to the humans? Is someone still going to become a zombie?
March 10th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Courtney: A proper answer to your questions would be about 300 pages long. That story will be told in a future graphic novel and I’m not gonna spoil it all here, but here’s slightly more info than I’ve previously given, plus some repetition of what I’ve said before many times in response to the same questions . . .
He got almost all of his 3,000 troops in the first 24 hours after he came out of the ocean. At that time there were still hundreds of thousands of humans left, possibly millions. He never ordered the death of a human (he only had to kill one personally, then he just ordered his zombies to do the rest) unless he could smell at the time a decent sized group of living humans that he felt he had a chance to save. Keep in mind that he just said two pages ago that he can smell blood from 10 miles away. Shortly after coming out of the ocean he was in an extremely populated area (pre-zombie invasion) where there were many pockets of survivors scattered all over the place. Practically all of the humans he killed were literally seconds away from being killed by Francis’s zombies. At the time zombies were breaking through defenses all over the place and Sullivan actually had his zombies competing against Francis’s zombies for who could bite the humans first. It was pretty wild, disgusting stuff. Sullivan assumed that there were at least tens of millions of humans still alive on Earth and he hoped that there were billions. Once he got a large enough army that he decided could withstand endless “dumb” zombies, ones who aren’t being controlled at the time by Francis, which only took him about a day, it was right then when the humans suddenly ran out. I’ll decide on the details for this later, and it’s possible that he’ll actually keep a supply of humans safe within his group for a while but then they’ll die (it will be much more dramatic than that sounds in this very short description), but anyway, he’ll then be heading East (from California) with his zombies and he’ll be finding no humans anywhere, running at full speed (all of them, they never tire, can run at least 15 miles per hour or so endlessly). He heads for his old hometown (obvious reasons), possibly thinking the whole time that he screwed up or was too late and that there’s no humans left in the world, although I may throw in some more contact of some sort between Sullivan and Addison to give him some more info (complicated, long story, all will be told in future books, some will be told in this second GN). He first smelled the humans at the school about 10 miles out, ran right by the pond and decided to order some supplies (weapons, food) to be left there, and you know the rest basically.
March 10th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
WOW, awesome stuff Owen. The story’s getting to be pretty interesting too, can’t wait to see some sick action scenes. Can’t wait to read the next one.
March 10th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
I had asked myself the Sullivan creating zombie question, but I figured that Sullivan had figured that there were certain humans that were gonna be zombies (because they were being overrun) and that they might as well be his rather than Francis’s
March 10th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
I say he jumps, like, real far.
March 10th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Just a quick question Bobby, is Math perminatly de-vampired or does he retain some of his powers?
March 10th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
I loved this page, so very much,
but i still cannot believe how many people are still deciding not to read previous posts and just commenting randomly, for instance:
“Sic Says:
March 10th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
I say he jumps, like, real far.”
this is why i personally hate people.
good effort put into this page boys, hope to see more soon.
March 10th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Bill M. Says: “When do we get to see the few humans on the International Space Station deal with their dwindling supplies? I’d even be cool if it was a mostly female crew and the vamps had to deal with trying to get them down safely to help the gene pool diversify more…”
Are you trying to be ironic or just an idiot?
Dan Says: “I mean as I said before super strength, super speed, fearless, and even though I do not have evidence I a guessing that he is intelligent and knows how to make tactical moves and isn’t just “run in and destroy” kind of vampire.”
I’m not necessarily disagreeing with the possibility of Rage being somewhat intelligent, but what possible evidence could convince you that he is not “just ‘run in and destroy” kind of vampire.’”? All evidence points to that being exactly what he is. He gets untangled and his first reaction is “I’m gonna go kill stuff now.” He’s an ex-professional wrestler who’s obsessed with pain and killing. Seriously, where do you get any hint of tactical thinking? Do you have any reason for thinking this, or am I just missing something obvious?
Jon, Shayna, George, dannyboy: You four should seriously continue the “discussion” of yours from last page. Your arguing was more amusing than most of the assholes that got banned, and almost as intelligent as their comments too. If it takes more than a week to get another comic I would love to be entertained further by the pointless belittling of random people over the internet. I know other commenters whined about all the arguing, but it really was great entertainment while waiting.
March 10th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
Res66: No retention of powers, but he could always be turned again, but then he wouldn’t have the great sense of smell, since he wouldn’t be turned by Val again, who is now dead. Unless he was turned by Murdo — then his nose would be almost as good as before. But he’d need to go through the 32 day acclimation phase again.
March 10th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Rage’s power = He can become THAT rabbit from THAT movie. Oh yeah.
March 10th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Yay! Run Rage! Run!
He’s so cool – I love that pose in the first panel
March 10th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Heh, unless Math devellop a new random power this time? I usually read carefully the comments, and I know you’ve mentionned that the powers are rare but sometimes appear. But are those because of a particular person, the way he’s turned, pure luck (like if you get your blood at THAT moment…) or something? Maybe when when first transformed they are gorged on blood? Or go through hunger? No matter, I’d like seeing what decides that. It’d be funny that something like all old “original” (parents) lineage had powers, but it got ***mudded*** when mixed with transformed humans, and eventually it got kind of random
March 10th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
why am i being lumped in with the whole argument thing? i only ever tried to:
a. stop the argument
b. make light of the situation, thus stopping the argument
c. change the subject, also stopping the argument.
i even tried the lame ass “what music you listening to” question (which killed me a little inside)
and while i have your attention, there is a plot based question that has been running around in my head, but i havent asked cause i didnt want to piss off bobby and i wasnt sure if it had been asked yet. but what the hell, here goes.
what the hell is the deal with mac?
like seriously, is he half vampire or something? how does he kick so much ass? no human should be able to do the things he can do. im sure we would have eventually gotten an answer, but im gonna be away from my computer for a month and a half soon, and i just want to know before that happens. if its already been discussed, i apologize, but i only became aware of the comments section on the last page, and there’s no way i can read all those comments to see if anyone discussed this before. seriously, no way.
March 10th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
oh, and i loved this last page by the way. just thought id throw that in there.
March 10th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Mac is just a regular human, but obviously he’s insanely awesome.
March 11th, 2008 at 12:26 am
“Jon, Shayna, George, dannyboy: You four should seriously continue the “discussion” of yours from last page.”
If for some reason Owen decides he does not like the tablet drawings and decides that he will wait until he can get his proper supplies and it takes a week for those to come in, I’ll be happy to restart it up its fun arguing with random people. Really really fun you guys all have to try it some time.
I’m serious get off your computers and go do it. NOW!

I thought Owen always drew with a tablet…
[quoted from Owen the Artmaster]
“Still no pen for my cintiq but I got an old wacom tablet up and running again so I can get some work done finally. ”
a cintiq is a tablet… just one with a screen underneath it…
March 11th, 2008 at 5:19 am
That’s what I was thinking, (Sullivan and zombies…) Thanks for taking the time to explain some of it.
Also, what was the human population of Earth sixty five years ago? You have to think, you know? What did Sullivan expect when he ‘woke up’ I suppose you could say. I’m sure he expected some advances, but to what extent? The A-Bomb comment on the last page is exactly the kind of thing. I’m horrible at history, but sixty-five years ago, Francis COULDN’T have ‘invaded’ the world that fast, could he have? How could he have known it would be possible to do it that fast (I don’t suppose he’d care… he’d've done it slow if he had to… he just hadn’t had to…) So Sullivan would have been really surprised as to the extent… Coming up in California, he’d have gotten what he expected, because the number of humans left there would have made sense, it was the obliteration of the rest of the world that really killed us… so when the humans ‘ran out’ as you put it; which, yeah, I think that would happen too, Sullivan would get out there and realize Francis already had THOUSANDS (or however many) ALL OVER, and that he wasn’t just ranging out from California like Sullivan was. And that makes total sense, that Sullivan would try to protect any groups of humans he came across that weren’t already doomed, but say something happened… they lost moral and killed themselves or something, or got caught in the ‘cross fire,’ killed while Sullivan’s zombies were fighting Francis’s.
…Anyways, the point of this comment was to ask – What was Sullivan EXPECTING to find when he came up after sixty-five years?
(and if this comment is ignored, I won’t be surprised, you already said a lot of this will be answered later – and some of it already has been, but I haven’t been reading comments for the last few months)
March 11th, 2008 at 6:57 am
Thank You Micah! I rather thought it was amusing myself. I love sparing and am rather competitive by nature.
However, the monitors didn’t find it so fun, and I still want to be able to shoot down people who think they can criticize comic art with no discernable knowledge, just because they are a fan.
>>>God’s not on my side, but the Devil has been calling.<<<
March 11th, 2008 at 9:41 am
i dont know if this was said yet on this page, but tegu, and other’s who have said that rage has “two” powers, he dont…
as, i think bobby said before once, that rage used to be a pro wrestler, and was immensely strong BEFORE he was turned, and that becoming a vampire, let’s say, maybe…doubled? his strength, though more likely tripled it…
March 11th, 2008 at 9:49 am
Superspeed or something like invisibility both sound good. Still want some damn brownies though…
March 11th, 2008 at 10:02 am
i don’t know about brownies, but I have a kick as recipe for choco-chocolate chip cookies that are crispy outside and brownie-like on the inside.
I call them Road Warriors because I make them all spikey like a plate of armor.
March 11th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
I know that everyone but Addison thought Francis was Sullivan, and the 3000 has fought uncontrolled zombies on screen, but when you said Sullivan defended humans with his zombies from other zombies, were they controlled at that point or not. It would mean Francis knew Sullivan was TFZ too. If you are going to answer this in the comic soon, fell free to just say so and give me something new to wait for.
March 11th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Thanks Bobby and one last question will Math still be as good with a sword and a great shot before he became human or was the amazing skills just the vampire strength?
Thanks your comic is awesome I can’t wait 2 see wat happens next!
March 11th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
I have a question about sullivan. Does he see things differently through his schematic eye than his regular vamp eye? I ask this because that is how I see the world and kinda relate. I go by Odin because I lost an eye when I was young and stupid. The replacement never quite took right so my brain interpets the signals comming from it wierd. Ie brown is blue, the sky is purple but only in one eye. Oddest part is it is a different strength than my original one. So I have clearer vision out of that one. It can be disorienting on bright days. Just wondering if Sully is the same, like can he see from a controled zombie’s eyes or just different than the other?
-Odin-
March 11th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
I remember there was some discussion back when we thought Francis had no eyes, Bobby said he could see because he could (this was the beginning of the magic jokes, I believe). I think the idea was that he used his mind to see, not his eyes (since he doesn’t have a normal one). Though Sullivan has much more flesh on him, I’m not sure this would apply. This a a really good question, maybe having it let him see humans versus vampires/zombies (it would explain why zombies only eat humans, besides smell. Vampires are full of human blood of course.
Either way, good question. And if you don’t mind, what kind of eye do you have now?
March 11th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
I forgot the “I Heart Rage” part of my former comment.
March 11th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
I like the art much better in the “new” LB.
It seems liek Owen is startin gto experiment and breaking out of the mouse drawn ms paint sketches and doing his own thing while stayign true to Cosby’s ideas. It lets me enjoy the comic a lot more.
March 11th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Can I just say I love the artwork. I’m looking at it to show a friend how I’m gonna do mine, and I just can’t help but stare at it. It’s just amazing. Rage is amazing is all his wild nature side, you can tell that Math is human now, and Sullivan goes from smug to befuddled so fast it’s crazy. And Murdo’s shock is perfect. There’s just one thing.
BB’s head just looks odd to me. Doesn’t belong on those shoulders.
March 11th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
A few quick questions:
Why can Math rip chain if he is human?
What is Rage’s Power?
How is Mac so powerful for a human?
Does Math retain any powers as a vampire?
Why did Owen take so long to post a new chapter?
If you could answer these questions, that would be great…..=)
March 11th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
I have a new query. Hair. How does that work. Math’s hair grew like crazy, and the different vampires have different amounts of hair (Addison to Rage). I know hair keeps growing for some time after death, and since they are undead, it cold keep growing like normal. This is all a set up for my real question.
Sullivan has a 5 ‘o clock shadow thing going. Looks really cool. My question. Is that growth he got while on land, or did it happen before the hunger pains (I seriously doubt he stopped to shave since he came back) ? Wounds sustained during the 65 years don’t heal, but what about hair? Can Sullivan grow a beard or long hair, or is he stuck with what he has, no more ever?
March 12th, 2008 at 12:11 am
“a cintiq is a tablet… just one with a screen underneath it…”
oops sorry I’m stupid and also forgot the exact wording of that. Let us all pretend that my comment says OLD tablet drawings ‘ey?
Tegu that sounds like an interesting question I’m looking forward to finding out the answer to that.

In response to the people that have replied to me…
No, I’m no idiot. There’s this thing called the vacuum of space, and if sound can’t travel through a vacuum (the whole “in space, no one can hear you scream” argument), why would smell? Unless my memory is truly whacked, the vampires have stated they’re guarding the last humans ON earth, but of course, I don’t have time to pore over every comment from every comic so far, so if Bobby has addressed this before, I apologize. I realize that in comic, I’ve seen zombies pilot a jet fighter, but the main person controlling the zombies originally was from a pre-WWII world, especially since his “rival” Sullivan knew nothing of an atomic bomb. The space race was under Kennedy, decades after WWII. The International Space Station is an even more recent development. If someone wants to point me towards where Mr. Crosby himself dealt with this, that’s fine, otherwise, hold your tongue.
Sorry Mr. Crosby, for ranting on your comic’s website, keep up the good work on all your comics.
March 12th, 2008 at 8:16 am
Bobby: “Mac is just a regular human, but obviously he’s insanely awesome.”
Yes!
Mac is without a doubt my favorite character in the entire comic. I’ve said so before, I’ll say it again. I’ve thought that ever since the fight in town when he was getting supplies, and nothing will ever change my mind about that opinion after he took part in the ‘Battle on Zombie Corpse Mountain’ and held his own just as well as, if not BETTER than, the vampires… the zombies werent trying to eat vampires, only humans like him; the vampires all got chained; and Mac was able to get back inside without being chained or eaten.
He’s uber.
He’s Achilles, without the heel problem.
He’s freaking Batman (who is far better than Superman no matter how many powers Superman has)
If it didn’t seem unhealthily obsessive and wierd, I would have form a Mac Attack fan club by now.

Yeah, except his whole body is vulnerable… and he may be turned into a zombie, if he gets bitten
March 12th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Hmm, I dunno why but this page just feels a little disjointed. Especially at the bottom. It’s like Rage is talking, and then Sullivan is all shocked, which I’m sure is meant to be suspenseful but it just kind of came across as odd. And then the panel with Murdo just shows up at the end of the page. Unless the two surprised reactions are connected, which they may be, I suppose, it seems kind of odd to make that split.
Otherwise, good art and can’t wait for the next page.
March 12th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
“Unless the two surprised reactions are connected, which they may be, I suppose”
Obviously they’re connected.
March 12th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
I don’t mind Tegu. It is a transplant from annother brown eyed kid. The split vision gives me migraines every here and there. But I am still curious weather sullivan sees differently out of each eye.

March 12th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Courtney: “What was Sullivan EXPECTING to find when he came up after sixty-five years?”
That’s something I’ve been wondering too, but more about Francis than Sullivan. Planes were around, and computers were just getting started, although he might not have known anything about computers at that point. I’d say there had to be some expected advances in any sort of technology dealing with flight. So I’d think Francis would have expected airports, large commercial jets and that sort of thing. He was probably surprised to see the long range missiles and communication technology, but that would only help his take over. I think all the technology needed to basically do his speed run of world domination was predictable, but he might have been concerned about it being created with that 65 year time frame. He could always wait around after he got his first group of zombies on the beach and ask them about the state of technology and such. I’m fairly sure he wasn’t aware of Sullivan’s plans to try and stop the end of the world. As for Sullivan if he came out of where ever Addison had him stored (which is something I can’t wait to find out) he probably found the sorry state of the world, and wouldn’t feel too bad about biting one person and having them explain to him if the whole world was like this or just the city he was moving through. Plus I would bet that Addison might have told him a few things to expect once he woke up. If anybody could predict technology it would be Addison.
March 12th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Demon!:
“Yeah, except his whole body is vulnerable… and he may be turned into a zombie, if he gets bitten”
And yet he doesn’t get bitten, doesn’t get killed, and doesn’t get hurt. Because his blood is not normal human blood. Mac’s blood is concentrated liquid awesome. One micro-gram of his blood could feed 10,000 vampires for 10,000 years at full strength.
And no what I’m saying is not sarcasm – I simply think Mac is THAT awesome. Mac is THE representative of the best of the best of the human race.
And while I’m at it, no one should worry about the repopulation thing… Mac’s around. He’ll handle it. You’ll have a bunch of little Macs running around, Mac-attacking the heads off zombies 3 at time. It’ll be great. You’ll see.

I know that Anko already answered you, but I have a question for you. If you don’t have time to read all the comments: A) why should we take the time to answer yours? and B) Why the fuck can’t you learn to use google yourself, or don’t you have time for that either?

I have a new query. Hair. How does that work. Math’s hair grew like crazy, and the different vampires have different amounts of hair (Addison to Rage). I know hair keeps growing for some time after death, and since they are undead, it cold keep growing like normal. This is all a set up for my real question.”
It’s an urban myth mate and an old one at that. Hair and nails do not continue to grow in any species after death. When the body is truly dead there is absolutely no way for new cells to be produced, which is what causes growth.

“If anybody could predict technology it would be Addison.”
Yeah he could predict it pretty well because he probably has technology lying around in bunkers and gives stuff out to random humans every few years or something. That means Addison was behind Da Vinci, Gallelaio and Einstein ooh interesting(Yes this probably isn’t true but oh well)

In response to Micah…
I’m sorry that I’m not like you, to have an infinite amount of time on the internet, and that I haven’t been following the comic since the first posting, or that’s what I gather from your arrogance. I’ve been following the comic since I found it, but to pore over 100+ comics and their comments just to find something that I have a question about, and I don’t remember it being addressed since I started reading sometime in December of last year. As to your question about why I didn’t use google? Simple, google has been almost useless for me whenever I’ve done any research on webcomics because to get effective results you have to search for the exact terms the comment user used. Plain and simply, if it’s not in the FAQ, whether fan-made or author-made, people will ask it, especially if it seems reasonable to them.
In response to Anko, thank you for pointing me to Mr. Crosby’s response.
March 13th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
Um, im just wondering, if there are good zombies, that means the ‘head’ good zombie (the one with the vampire) has bitten alot of people to raise his own army. doesnt that contribute to the decay of the human race?
March 13th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
“Simple, google has been almost useless for me whenever I’ve done any research on webcomics because to get effective results you have to search for the exact terms the comment user used.”
That’s not necessarily true. You were wondering about the international space station . Could have googled “site:lastblood.net international space station” or “site:lastblood.net astronauts” or even just “last blood astronauts” (all without quotes) and the first result on any of the three searches should take you to a page where the issue was discussed.
“Plain and simply, if it’s not in the FAQ, whether fan-made or author-made, people will ask it, especially if it seems reasonable to them.”
Well, now it is in the FAQ. So the next time someone asks that question I will apparently have every right to tear them to pieces.
“In response to Anko, thank you for pointing me to Mr. Crosby’s response.”
No problem.
“Um, im just wondering, if there are good zombies, that means the ‘head’ good zombie (the one with the vampire) has bitten alot of people to raise his own army. doesnt that contribute to the decay of the human race?”
For one, the “head good zombie” is with a HUMAN, not a vampire. And your question has been answered on this very page, by Bobby himself, in a very long and detailed comment. Right here: http://lastblood.net/main/2008/03/08/page-8-that-thing/#comment-18181
But please, next time at least use the names of the characters if you forget what “species” they are. See, I’m pretty certain that by “vampire” you were referring to Math the human, and the “head good zombie” is Sullivan, a schaemiac. But I guess I could be wrong.
March 13th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
<<>>
I have to agree here, Math was much more appealing as a vamp. Chicks dig dark, sexy, characters with a soul, even fictious ones.
I’m sure this discussion was made when ‘Twenty-Four’ was shown, but there is always the possibility that we are getting ahead of ourselves here.
Examples:
What if Addison’s cure wasn’t foolproof?
Will there be side-effects?
Now that there is a cure, who is to say they won’t turn all their strongest humans, in order to fight, and then cure them when they have killed the threat?
There are still a lot of possibilities for Math.
Don’t loose heart Ximena, just do what I do. I write fan-fiction with my favorite characters.
March 13th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Not sure, but I think I’ve said many times that Math wouldn’t be human for long.
I’ll probably answer all those other questions from the past many comments at some point later. Most of them seem extremely obvious/pointless to me, like the one about if Francis was controlling the zombies at the time that Sullivan was “fighting” them, and most, if not all, of them have been answered already anyway.
March 13th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
AWESOME! I just finished reading the whole series and i gotta tell you this is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time! Keep it coming!
March 13th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
i TOTALLY agree with Shayna.. math is so much more appealing as a vamp.. hooray for him not being human for much longer!
March 13th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
You know, if I was Sullivan Davis I’d feel pretty goddamned raw about the fact that if I was gonna go through 65 years of torture and half my damned sexy body rotted off and there’s no way to reverse this fact. So now I gotta go through the rest of eternity forever looking shittier and shittier till I rot away.
He’s pretty good natured about it though. You gonna confront that?
March 13th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
“So now I gotta go through the rest of eternity forever looking shittier and shittier till I rot away.”
There’s no rotting away or looking shittier.
“You gonna confront that?”
He doesn’t give a shit about his looks, but Sofia sure does (about her own looks, not his), which will be a fairly major part of this GN.
March 14th, 2008 at 12:16 am
“there’s no way to reverse this fact.”
Uh who said there was no way to reverse it. Bobby said on Page 3 of this second GN that it actually will work on schaemiac’s, but it would be kinda stupid for Sullivan to take it right now, as they need his zombies if they want to live. Also one of the main reasons Addison was working on the cure was for Sofia(or at least to get her to stop smashing his lovely vodka bottles) so he would almost definately make it try and work for them.
I don’t know how to give exact link to the comment so if Anko or Bobby or someone else could help with that it would be nice. It’s Bobby’s 3rd comment on that page.

There’s no rotting away or looking shittier.
————————————————
So, if he’s presumably been rotting for the last 65 years, why is he suddenly not rotting anymore? Just curious. Or was there another reason for chunks of him missing?
March 14th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Simple. His healing factor kicked back in. The state he was in became the standard, so that is what he would heal to.
At the same time, the hunger pains end, and his mind returns to normal. ‘Cept now he’s telepathic with the undead. But that’s normal.
March 14th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
“So, if he’s presumably been rotting for the last 65 years, why is he suddenly not rotting anymore?”
Because he’s a schaemiac now and schaemiacs are just like vampires except with extra powers (obviously). During the 65 years of torture, that’s a different phase where some amount of rotting can occur. Once it’s over and they’re officially a schaemiac, no more rotting.
March 14th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Ok. I think I can buy that.
March 15th, 2008 at 8:24 am
It’s obviously the midichlorians that halt the rotting process

Keep up the fantastic work

March 17th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
sorry about the sarcasm. Just trying to point out that explaining everything doesn’t always make for better story telling; to quote an old proverb; “some things are better left unsaid”. As for example the force and midichlorians.
It would be horrible if some sort of nano parasites would be dubbed the spreaders of vamprirism / schaemiac powers wouldn’t it?
once again sorry bout the sarcasm, thought the point would be clear…
March 17th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
So, now that Owen can draw again, when can we expect updates? I know it takes longer to do color strips, and I know Owen’s doing about a million other comics, so this is just a polite question since it seems that a MWF schedule isn’t going to happen.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Your name is stupid *sticks out tongue*
P.S. Darn it anyway, that was the best attempt at humor I have ever produced….. Life sucks now all because some random person who I don’t even know or even care about doesn’t like my ill attempt at humor. What ever shall I do?
March 17th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
“So, now that Owen can draw again, when can we expect updates?”
Haven’t written Page 9 yet. Been super lazy blah blah blah.
March 18th, 2008 at 12:18 am
“since it seems that a MWF schedule isn’t going to happen.”
What are you talking about. Anko said on the last page i belive that MWF is not actually Monday Wednesday Friday as commonly believed but Every Month with Flowers (Anko you are brilliant for realising this, I bow to your brilliance). Thus it updates more then schedule even when Bobby is being lazy(/endsarcasm)

Shayna’s Quotable Quote No. 5
“Art is an inspirational happening, not a regime.”
All you schedule Nazi’s can kiss my pale, freckled ass!
March 18th, 2008 at 7:51 am
You are right about that, Shayna, but it worries me when imspiration comes rarely… Even art needs a little bit of discipline to it, to keep it from going chaotic.
I’ve experienced “writer’s block” before, and it sucks. Good luck to Bobby with that… I hope he will be pumping out fresh pages real soon
March 18th, 2008 at 10:09 am
“Anko you are brilliant for realising this, I bow to your brilliance”
Actually just quoted Bobby on that, he’s said it before on the Marry Me comments. It’s his brilliance we should all bow to.
March 18th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
***Demon! says “You are right about that, Shayna, but it worries me when imspiration comes rarely… Even art needs a little bit of discipline to it, to keep it from going chaotic.”***
Don’t agree with me you schmuck! I just called you a Nazi!
You’re just agreeing with me because you want to be liked, but you still try to defend that inordinately large stick up your ass by saying “I’m worried”.
You obviously don’t know or respect creative process, and you have confirmed that you are a weak and pathetic specimen by not standing your ground.
March 18th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Hey now, no need for insults here. Art can not be confined, true, but deadlines should be met. There are none with this comic, you Bobby and Owen did spoil us at the end with the last one.
Now enough bickering children. Let’s all enjoy the comic!
March 18th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
“You obviously don’t know or respect creative process”
Oh really… funny
How about I tell you that I have been into creative work for years – I do writing and graphic design (ccasionally).
So, dear Shayna, don’t try to teach me something I know BETTER than you.
“I just called you a Nazi!”
Yes, this is all true. Now, I am sending you straight to a concentration camp!
Happy?

Schedules? Screw em! Deadlines? Screw em! LAST BLOOD is a free web-comic, one of thousands online in fact. I like many others love it and will gladly wait for updates. So with no due respect to all you whinging bitches, SHUT UP. Seriously though Last Blood is well worth waiting for.
March 19th, 2008 at 12:25 am
“It’s his brilliance we should all bow to.”
I’m good with that, and anyone who isn’t should leave now. Since they obviously hate Bobby Crosby’s work so we won’t miss them. Wait on second though they should get hit by the awesome BanStick© of Bobby Crosby, because thats fun to watch.
Bnz please don’t swear on these comments. I got mass attacked for saying damn(I didn’t even spell it correctly so technically I wanted to build them water catchment facility) to Anko and Mozilla Firefox, so I’d hate to see what happens when someone says fuck
March 19th, 2008 at 1:17 am
Damn, fuck that shit.
ps bobby: if that was over the line then just dont approve this comment, i wont mind cause right now im just bored as hell and its like 2 in the morning.
March 19th, 2008 at 4:24 am
No offense, but I do not like the current slowness with which this comic updates… I liked to read this comic, but more and more I tend to just not check here anymore… if you could do something about this it would be much appreciated
March 19th, 2008 at 5:03 am
I’m noticing a trend here… the longer the gap between pages, the more angry people get at each other.
Maybe Crosby’s really an evil villain, and his master plan is to make us destroy each other while waiting for the next page.
Dude… does that make us superheroes? ‘Cause they’re the only people that kind of stuff happens to.
Now I hope he really is an evil mastermind.
March 19th, 2008 at 6:48 am
***Demon says “How about I tell you that I have been into creative work for years – I do writing and graphic design (ccasionally).”***
Telling me this does not make me give a crap. Saying you have done “creative work for years” means that you have no proof and are lying or that you have been too chicken shit to submit your work to criticism, much less been published in any forum.
As proof of your shallow and uniform opinions; graphic design is a conformity of the capitalist nation to pigeonhole creative people by luring them into a false sense of security with a steady paycheck, in order to produce advertising that brainwashes a nation of dumbed-down t.v. viewers, Paris Hilton wanna-bes, and magazine readers.
My Favorite Line Demon said, ***”So, dear Shayna, don’t try to teach me something I know BETTER than you.”***
Dude! This is an anonymous forum. You don’t know anyone well enough to make the assumption that you know more than anyone else here. I could be Stan Lee or a 10 year old obese gamer who has a 240 IQ.
Why don’t you wear a sign that says ‘I AM AN IGNORANT ASS’.
DEAR GEORGE, I tried not to use any profanities except for ‘ass’ as it is used in everyday radio and televised forums. I hope that is okay.
March 19th, 2008 at 6:50 am

It’s cool though. I had fun while it lasted. I’ll keep reading.
All My Best,

March 19th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Shayna…. why are you arguing with Demon? What about me?? What about the fond times we spent calling each other retarded and 330 lb guy named Bubba??
I’m hurt that you’ve moved on to arguing with another.
Hurt, I say.
Bubba.
hehe, I slay me.
Btw, to Owen, is it just me or does Rage seem less bulked up than when he was coming out from the airplane crash in Last Blood part 1? Not that I would ever complain about your art – it’s awesome to the Nth degree, but did he go on a quickie diet or something, or is it maybe the angle from which he’s being viewed?
Btw I’m referring to ‘this’ comic when I’m making the comparison:
http://www.lastblood.net/main/2007/09/27/page-79-reinforcements/
And again, I’m in no way criticizing your art – it’s awesome. Seriously, absolutely awesome. It’s the #1 reason I read the comic.
March 20th, 2008 at 12:11 am
“DEAR GEORGE, I tried not to use any profanities except for ‘ass’ as it is used in everyday radio and televised forums. I hope that is okay.”

They don’t get paid to do this, they love it.

BtW: Will teh movie be in Colour or in the ole good B&W?
March 21st, 2008 at 11:51 am
I think that instead of bithching about the schedule and arguing everyone should do something more productive. Fan stuff, you know, to show the creators that we actually care about the story and the characters and not just how regular the updates are. I’ve kept myself busy, at any rate.

March 21st, 2008 at 1:20 pm
“Luke, you are right. They do have lives, INCLUDING JOBS.”
I don’t have a life, and neither of us have jobs other than making comics. (Or at least I’m 95% sure Owen doesn’t currently have a regular job.)
“They don’t get paid to do this, they love it.”
No, we do make money from it, and I personally have no love for writing comics. Owen likes drawing, though, I’m pretty sure. Both of us currently make more money from the other comics that we do (I make more from “Marry Me,” Owen makes more from “Sore Thumbs”), so those take priority, especially since there’s no deadline of any kind for “Last Blood” anymore, since the first GN ended.
And as I’ve said many times recently, the main reason for so few pages lately has been that I’ve been writing them very slowly.
That stuff’s awesome, Anko. You’re insane.
March 21st, 2008 at 3:14 pm
“Don’t agree with me you schmuck! I just called you a Nazi!”
friggin priceless, i laughed all while reading the rest of the comments from that.
Soooo, there’s no question who’s the #1 fan (as if there was before lol). Nice work, but on the pants, what’s all the smaller writing? Character names?
March 21st, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Yea, ok, took another look trying to figure it out, way too much writing to be character names? A lil plot maybe? Beware horny lil 14year olds trying to “read what the top of your pants say” tho… hehehe, that trick used to work like a charm >.>
March 21st, 2008 at 3:22 pm
It’s most of the dialogue from the first issue (32 pages).

Again, Anko is the best fan ever.

“Anyone who is over the age of 16 and doesn’t have the basic sense to carry a dictionary in the house has to be retarded.”
Unfortunately most of those people don’t wish to be called nerds so they never pick it up. They do have it though, it’s that big thick book they throw at the annoying younger sibling who opens their door while their doing stuff, or interupts their time with their girlfriends/hand (quite often the same thing unfortunately*).

I’m a little mean, but could someone seriously consider banning “Sarcasm”.
Said person obviously cannot take a joke and by the statement they just made, they apparently DO CARE what people on the internet say; otherwise, they would not have felt it necessary to state that fact.
Also, I would say “Sarcasm” lacks the intelligence and decorum to have a full-on rant without implenting profanities because this person cannot think of anything better to say.
Would anyone like to second the motion?
March 24th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Look who’s talking…
March 24th, 2008 at 10:05 am
I second banning a bunch of people. We are here to talk about the comic, not bitch at each other. If you have some much anger you need to rant here, grab a pillow and punch. Do we need to have another group hug? I’ll make cookies this time?
March 24th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Mims that response is just moronic.
Did I not just say that I am a mean person? I don’t deny it. I don’t make excuses for it. In fact, I find it entertaining; and because I am a selfish person, I just don’t give a crap.
Probably the only difference between me and “sarcasm” is a better vocabulary, a much thicker skin, and picking my battles.
In case you haven’t noticed, this person just told EVERYONE (including you) to go F….. themselves. That is just not cool.
March 24th, 2008 at 10:12 am
I’m for the group hug TEGU because I am capable of being nice as long as you all understand that I will be cyber-groping you all in this hug.
I know. I am a sick puppy.
Shayna’s Quotable Quote No. 10
“A group hug is an excuse to grope your favorite people without suspicion.”
March 24th, 2008 at 11:27 am
All for the hugging. Any possibility of groping? grrrrrrrr.
March 24th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
I actually have quite an extensive vocabulary, thank you very much. Just so you know, I was calm the entire time I actually wrote that so called “rant”. I was bored and decided to stir the pot a little. Now apparently you have taken some kind of offense, Shayna. Besides, who made you the end-all be-all of anything whatsoever? I digress. Superiority complex anyone? Sounds like someone has to point out something wrong with everyone else to hide her own insecurities. Like I said, this is the internet. This is probably just your way of taking out your anger at being an insignificant little girl, which I feel so sorry for you then. Have a good day princess!
March 24th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
Besides, when you admit you are a mean and selfish person, that is sad in and of itself…. I pity you more than anything, you sad pathetic person. No matter the response you supply I shall not wast my time trying to cure your ignorance. I bid you good day!
March 25th, 2008 at 3:56 am
Oh, he did NOT just do a 19th-century storm off!
Hell, yeah, he did.
God damn, he’s got an ego.
Seriously, though, everyone really should chill out. Talk about the comic, not the fact that it’s late, nor the fact that some people are idiots.
Or… you could prove my theory that Bobby’s really an evil genius bent on making us destroy each other.
I like that one.
March 25th, 2008 at 4:45 am
Shayna: “In case you haven’t noticed, this person just told EVERYONE (including you) to go F….. themselves. That is just not cool.”
He was obviously telling people they should engage in the safe sex of solitary masturbation, Shayna. What’s to be angry about?
You prude.
So far I’ve seen you have fights with 3 people who are not me and I’m seriously feeling left out.
Sarcasm: “This is probably just your way of taking out your anger at being an insignificant little girl, which I feel so sorry for you then. Have a good day princess!”
hey man… you’re stealing my fire. I’m the one who’s supposed to make sexist comments and gain Shayna’s angry comments.
Shayna: “Probably the only difference between me and “sarcasm” is a better vocabulary, a much thicker skin, and picking my battles.”
She learned this after I won our last battle. My cunning retorts left her in awe of my greatness, so she refuses to verbally spar with me again. I will thusly bask in my victory gloat.
I gloat at thee!
Sarcasm: “I bid you good day!”
Nothing says classy like quoting Fez from That 70s Show.
March 25th, 2008 at 5:01 am
“Nothing says classy like quoting Fez from That 70s Show.”
I didn’t know he was doing that (hate that show, don’t think I ever saw a full episode), but now I’m even more glad that I banned him.
March 25th, 2008 at 6:57 am
yay! I’M A PRINCESS! I’M A PRINCESS!
Even when I was 13 and lived in the projects, I was never royalty!
That is so cool.
Hey JON, I never thought of either of us came out a winner. Apparently, you never read my last comment on that page. I stopped battling you because we both thought the same thing about each other.
I thought you were an obese gamer too! lol. That was just so cute, I decided to leave you alone.
Hard to believe, but I am human occasionally. I don’t know why anyone thought Fez was funny.
The only episode I saw was the one where the dark haired chick had to decide between two guys, and chose herself instead because she imagined that she was running across a beach toward her lover, and it turned out to be herself.
THAT IS THE BEST EXPLANATION OF NARCISSISM I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!
March 25th, 2008 at 6:58 am
THANKS BOB! That guy sucked.
March 25th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Its official I now love the comments almost as much as the comic. Shayna being my fav. I like really love you in a nonsexual completely platonic get drunk and possible try to kiss you sort of way. I really love this comic too. It’s to the point I have forsaken all other comics I use to read including the one my brother does. It might be causing familial problems resulting in my parent divorce.
March 25th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Holy CRAP, there’s a lot of comments here. ._.
Usually I don’t read the comments unless I’m bored or trying to see what other people think about the page while I wait for a new one. But seriously, these comments ARE for talking about the comment, not for calling every Nazis or telling them to do inappropriate things or whatnot. It’s also not about whining for new pages, but I can understand that to a degree.
If I was worried that a comic I liked was going to stop updating, I’d try and contact the author/artist/person in charge to express my love of their comic and ask if the comic was going to stop. So while after the umpteenth time it DOES get annoying that people are still asking, cut them a little slack. Most of them are just probably worried that a comic they like might stop updating for good.
I would also like to say that I rather enjoyed this page. I was a little confused about Rage’s power until I read the comments, but I wasn’t looking all that hard for what it was, and so I missed it even though the answer was smacking me in the face. >.<
March 25th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
It feels wonderful to be loved.
If my husband wasn’t my very own cross between Satan and Trent Reznor, only taller, I’d give you a cyber-kiss.
I have never addressed this because it was just kind of redundant, but…
HE’S FAST. OKAY. RAGE HAS SUPER SPEED. Either that or he’s a flipping tornado.
ANY WAY YOU PUT IT, HE IS FAST!
Everyone of you who has repeated this question has made me want to shave my head, paint myself white, stick pins in my head, and join an un-earthly plane of hell.
RAGE IS FAST!
March 25th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
/sigh
i miss the good old days of people arguing because one person doesn’t believe that everybody in the world can actually be dead, or there’s too few survivors, or, my fave, the people wouldn’t want to have sex to repopulate. i mean those were stupid too, but at least they were somewhat on topic. now people just flare up an argument based on….well anything else other than the story.
in reference to the comic updates, or lack there of, um, we already know why. both bobby and owen are making more money from their other comics, bobby’s being a lazy bastard with LB, but trying to meet his deadlines with MM (which is also good check it out), and there’s no real demand to finish/update LB right now.
i mean as good as the comic is, when i check the page and still see Rage leaping out the window, only reaction is a quick “damn” and keep on clicking. there’s no real reason to bitch about it here. as i recall, he asked that you send him e-mails telling him to get back to work lol.
but in that same sense, i’m seeing a lot of cries for attention here. i mean you hiding behind an anonymous name, we have no real way of identifying you, you say you don’t care, but you come back and not only defend yourself, insult. bravo. me personally, i’m just tired of stupid pointless arguments about nothing. somebody start one about how Addison can’t be dead because it wasn’t in his contract or something.
almost said a lot of nothing and left out my point. i’m not saying “can’t we all just get along?” i’m saying “can’t we all just ignore the stupid ones?”
if you see somebody coming on here just blurting out something of utter stupidity, just look over it and keep going. with nobody to argue with, they’ll just eventually shut up. well, unless they’re a true die-hard and create another name and argue with themselves. i’m willing to bet my last cookie that it’s probably just the same people getting banned and come picking fights under a new name because mommy and daddy are busy, girlfriend/boyfriend doesn’t exist, and they need some attention.
i usually stay out of things that are not story related but it’s just getting annoying. but i was speaking in general, if i pissed you off, then you’re one of those people, and i apologize for nothing. come back and bash me, call me gay, say i have no life blah blah blah. won’t get a response out of me. that is all.
March 25th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
ok, my comment didn’t look that long in the lil box thingy, holy crap! ok, i do apologize for one thing, sorry about the bleeding eyes people. O_O
March 25th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Since we don’t know what Addison, and thus Sullivan’s actual power was, Addison might be able to return. The power to be unundead would be interesting, and very useful. Sophia stakes Sullivan, starts a rant, and Sullivan gets back up and stakes her. That would be a cool scene.
But Bobby said no more present Payne, so that isn’t happening. But hopefully someone will only read part of this and start a conversation. Theinen, I hope it works too.
March 25th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
That first panel is so sick. Keep up the amazing work you two.
March 25th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Shayna,
IF Rage = tornado
THEN Rage = Tasmanian Devil (think Bugs Bunny)
That would be a very interesting thing to see – adds quite a bit of versatility to his fighting style as well.
——-
I hope to see another page added soon. Having only arguments to read became very old on page 7. B.C. and Owen you truly have an amazing comic here.
March 26th, 2008 at 12:24 am
“somebody start one about how Addison can’t be dead because it wasn’t in his contract or something.”
hehe I laughed pretty hard when i read this.
“The power to be unundead would be interesting, and very useful”
Is unundead alive or dead cause its widely accepted that even though undead should be the opposite of dead, thus alive, its actually living dead like zombie, vampire, werewolf and other such creatures. However unundead is new so does it kill him or bring him back to living dead or what, interesting aint it? And yes I did finish reading Tegu’s comment and also remembered that the legend that is Bobby Crosby said Addison is dead, he is not coming back, but as he said at the end he wants someone to start and conversation and suprise, suprise, I’m someone YAY!

I have never been banned…yet.

Shayna’s Personal Rule No. 1: Never say Never completely because it may just happen.
March 26th, 2008 at 7:47 am
I think you already gave us a different rule for your number one. Do you have an actual list, or just a collection.
Personally, I use these. http://www.sff.net/paradise/lists.htm If you are tired of waiting, read them all. They are funny.
March 26th, 2008 at 7:57 am
Actually, those are my “quotable quotes”. Sometimes when I am having a conversation, I will come up with some funny or insane metaphor and I do write those down.
What I just wrote was not orignal. Many people say “never say never”. It is just a personal rule I try to follow.
I never say never absolutely, unless it’s about liking gangster rap. That I am absolutely sure I don’t care to listen to.
March 26th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Carpe that is hilarious. RAGE as the T-devil!!! That was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid!
SCREW the MOUSE! HE IS SATANIC!!!!
oops, I don’t want to insult Satan.
THE MOUSE IS A CORPORATE PUPPET OF COMMERCIAL NIGHTMARES!!!!
Yep, that about covers it.
March 26th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I want some sweet Last Blood clothes.

And for you people whining about update speed or the comic, just… do what I do: Go back and read through ALL THE ARCHIVES!!
…

Or, if you have a life (unlike me) I’m sure you can find something else to do.
Something better… probably not. But something else… sure.
March 26th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Pure awesome.
I don’t know which I enjoy more: The comic itself, or the squabbling idiots in the comments.
…yeah, it’s the comic. But the squabbling idots are fun too.
Keep up the pure awesome!
March 26th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
You know shayna assuming ash is a girl giving her a cyber-kiss is acceptable under Guy-Code 134B. The only provisos being your husband is understanding and there to bear witness. I’m not making this up to see some cyber kissin instead of cyber fightin.
RPGeek I concur and move that we find a way to melt down Last Blood so we may take shots of Pure Awesome.
March 26th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
“I didn’t know he was doing that (hate that show, don’t think I ever saw a full episode), but now I’m even more glad that I banned him.”
Yep. It’s a regular thing Fez says when he gets all pissy.
“I bid you good day sir!”
“But I-”
“I SAID GOOD DAY!”
Definitely a bannable offense if ever there was one.
March 26th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Shayna:”Hey JON, I never thought of either of us came out a winner. Apparently, you never read my last comment on that page. I stopped battling you because we both thought the same thing about each other.”
Nah, you stopped because you feared my awesomeness.
Don’t worry, I totally agree with you that I’m awesome.
But I shall miss the tender moments of flinging insults at each other.
“If my husband wasn’t my very own cross between Satan and Trent Reznor, only taller, I’d give you a cyber-kiss. ”
Describing yourself as the bride of satan explains a lot.
I once tried to sell my soul to satan for a cheese danish, but he gave me a plain danish, so I consider the contract to be void. Pass it on to the hubby.
Thenien: “come back and bash me, call me gay,”
You’re gay.
“say i have no life blah blah blah.”
You have no life blah blah blah
“won’t get a response out of me. that is all.”
You wear granny panties and like to be fondled by the neighbor’s chihuahua by putting peanut butter on your butt and calling to it in spanish. If you agree with this statement, say nothing in response.
RPGeek: “I don’t know which I enjoy more: The comic itself, or the squabbling idiots in the comments.”
Shayna he just called you a squabbling idiot. Attack! Give him another quotable quote!
“…yeah, it’s the comic. But the squabbling idots are fun too.”
Hold off on the attack…

March 27th, 2008 at 1:32 am
1. I agree with the people who’ve said they enjoy the comments almost as much as the comics, but not with the ones who say y’all’re idiots. (Though, I must say, some of my faves are the ones where people bash each other’s spelling and make spelling mistakes of their own. With my luck, I’ve made one here. Hopefully it will provide amusement for someone else.)
2. In a likely futile attempt to bring comments back on topic (ish)… Has anyone here seen the movie Fido? There are zombies. It’s good fun.
3. Since y’all are vampire fans (or at least fans of one vampire comic), I want your opinion. Do the Wraith on Stargate Atlantis count as a type of vampire? They suck life force out of humans in order to live forever.
4. Does Rage remind anyone else at least a little bit of Sabertooth from X-Men? Not that this detracts from his awesomeness in any way. If anything, I think the association adds to it. Though I have to admit I’m more of a fan of finesse than all-out, brute-force slaughter.
5. Do we get to see Devian again soon? I miss her. (Sorry if it’s already been asked.)
6. Yeah, I have no idea why I’m using numbers either.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:51 am
We see Devian again pretty soon. She delivers a very important piece of information by like Page 13 or 14, I’m pretty sure.
March 27th, 2008 at 2:46 am
I have a proposal. We should let Bobby and Owen off the hook for a while, like 2 or 3 weeks. During that time, they would work on getting the comic AHEAD of schedule. So, when they would post the next page, they’d already have the next 2 made. That way, even if there’s a hitch, we get our new page, and Bobby and Owen can work without the pressure. What do you think?
March 27th, 2008 at 3:07 am
There is no pressure and we’re going to continue to put them up whenever they’re done.
March 27th, 2008 at 5:51 am
Squabbling Idiot!!!! I’ll have you know that I put alot of my fine vocabulary and peverted sense of sarcasm into my squabbling.

Nevermind.

Dr. Pecos – Perv or humanitarian. Not sure which so insert appropriate response here. By the way clever name.
March 27th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
My god. So long without Last Blood. This is it man…….game over…….the hunger pains are starting.
They don’t exaggerate when they say it is the worst pain imaginable.
March 27th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Wow. I thought I was a Drama Queen.
March 27th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
It’s ok Shayna, you are.
I’m still wondering what Sullivan’s power is. I’m kinda hoping it’s speed too. If Addison had speed, he might have been able to think faster. That would help him in his work. It also means that Sullivan’s zombies could grab some axes and just run through Francis’ leftover super sniffers.
March 27th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I think I’ve said many times that not all vampires have some special power. I certainly have no idea what Sullivan’s “power” is. Probably won’t ever come up, but I don’t know at this point.
March 28th, 2008 at 3:24 am
The only good thing about the comments are that you can hide them. Unlike youtube.
March 28th, 2008 at 7:07 am
There there Shayna, you’ll always be the Last blood #1 Drama queen to me.
JT Cool is just a poseur.
Sullivan’s power is being able to reach into the real world and stop people from finishing their sentences without any effo-….
March 28th, 2008 at 10:26 am
YAY! Goth Cheerleader!
March 28th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Personally I love a cool power that involves a disablement. It sounds twisted, but it is also character defect I can’t resist.
I figured it would suck pretty bad if I couldn’t use my voice anymore (I sing).
But what if I had a voice that would shatter stone and warp steel. I would have to deal with being mute, except when I decide to destroy things.
I think that would be a cool power to live with.
To answer all of your questions….Yes, I am a Sci-Fi Nerd and have the Original Directors Cut of DUNE from the 80s. In fact, I may watch it this weekend!
March 28th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Sorry Gang! Apparently Bobby sent me a new page a couple weeks ago but I didn’t get it somehow, I will soon. I’ll start it as soon as I can. Blame the internets!
March 29th, 2008 at 2:32 am
LIES, CEILING CAT TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE MASTURBATING THAT ENTIRE TIME!
March 29th, 2008 at 4:54 am
‘Sarcasm’ got banned? Awwwe… I didn’t even get a chance to respond to his idiotic tirade telling me to fuck off simply because I said he wasn’t funny. Seriously though, you’d think if someone chose a name like “sarcasm” they’d at least use sarcasm or irony in what they said, even if they weren’t funny. Anyway, I’ve probably already said it, but Bobby, Owen, great work as always. Can’t wait for more.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Sullivan = smarts. He was already the uberathlete and possibly the straight A student before he went off to war, the granddaughter shows signs of both. Addison = smarts, so this could possibly be the linkage. Of course, Sullivan would need more time to gain the knowledge and facilities needed to even come close to filling Addison’s shoes, so all that would have to show now is that he is quick on the uptake.
March 29th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Sorry Gang! I was just informed that there wasn’t a new script after all. Bobby said soon though. I’ll have something next week for sure (and maybe word on a NEW Crosby-company horror comic).
March 29th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
But Addison’s intelligence was naturally high, it’s not his vampire power.
March 30th, 2008 at 3:28 am
So we know that other comics have more priority than LB, and we’re more patient now
However, I can’t stop wondering – if LB was updated more regularly, would it produce more profit than the others (and have a higher priority)?
March 30th, 2008 at 3:34 am
As I said many times, the main problem is there’s no deadline with LB anymore, as there currently is for MM, and as there was for LB at various times in the past. The main problem other than my lack of effort, that is. I’ve pretty much been doing the bare minimum for a while.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Well, yeah – there are good times and bad times.
Hopefully, there will be more good times ahead. LB, in terms of plot, is developing really nice. I’m dying to see some young Francis/Sully flashbacks at some point
March 31st, 2008 at 3:22 am
heh, you know…
everyone, including me, will be a zombie if this were all true ^_^
but you know…. if i WAS a zombie, i rather let val decapitate me and use me as a gold ball XD
not rage
with superspeed
doing the old swithcheroo
cause i dont want my brains to be eaten.
March 31st, 2008 at 6:52 am
“Personally I love a cool power that involves a disablement. It sounds twisted, but it is also character defect I can’t resist” Kind of like cyclops from xmen? I suppose that’d be an interesting twist for one of the vampires, and i also wonder whos going to turn math into a vampire? Would he reain his smell from his past vampirism and gain whatver he would from whoever bit him next?
March 31st, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Shayna:”I figured it would suck pretty bad if I couldn’t use my voice anymore (I sing). ”
And yet you’d still be able to type. Where’s the justice in that?
“But what if I had a voice that would shatter stone and warp steel. I would have to deal with being mute, except when I decide to destroy things.”
Of all the powers to steal from the comics, the fact that you stole Black Bolt’s power simply leaves me speechless.
Get it?! It’s a pun! Speechless! HA!
*looks around, hears crickets chirp, otherwise… silence*
pfft.
Ah you guys suck.
March 31st, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I’d pick someone like Jamie Braddock. He’s more in line with my preferences.
And yes, that was a good pun. In third grade. Sorry man, just old. Might have been better in person, but text like this, it’s got no inflection.
April 1st, 2008 at 1:51 am
“You guys fucking suck” …. I think I’ve said that before…. It was just after I got tasered by some cops…. But…. That’s a story for another time…. lmao!!!
April 1st, 2008 at 6:24 am
update pls! =/
April 1st, 2008 at 6:37 am
Jon, I have fully acknowledged that I am not well versed in comics, so I will bow to your superior knowledge and ask a question?
This ‘Black Bolt’ character, was he written before 1963 when Frank Herbert’s Dune was published?
If not, then I would have to argue that ‘Black Bolt’ was a knock-off idea from the wyrding module in Dune. That is where I got my idea from.
April 1st, 2008 at 9:27 am
Tegu: “And yes, that was a good pun.”
Thank you!
“In third grade.”
I mean… screw you! :I
“Sorry man, just old.”
Like yo mama!
Yo momma’s so old that when she was in school there was no history class!
“Might have been better in person, but text like this, it’s got no inflection.”
It did have inflection, but that all cleared up after I rubbed some ointment and neosporin on it.
*pause while that stupid cricket continues to chirp amidst silence*
You guys SUCK!
And I hate that cricket.
April 1st, 2008 at 9:30 am
marques: “update pls! =/”
Marques, I have it on good authority that the above comic is actually how Last Blood ends. Sorry. That’s the end.
Really.
By good authority, I mean a special source.
By a special source, I mean I’m making this all up.
*pause*
bah…. joke isnt coming out right. Need something better.
Tegu’s momma so old, she made Fred Flintstone’s bed rock!
There. I feel better now.

Your momma…
Is so old…
She served at the Last Supper.
She sat behind Jesus in the third grade.
When I told her to act her age, she died.
On her drivers license, it says expired.
Is so fat…
She puts her lipstick on with a paint roller.
She walked in front of the TV and we missed two episodes of Friends.
She has to pull down her pants to get in her pockets.
Her belly button doesn’t have lint, it has sweaters.
Her blood type is Ragu.
She went into a restaurant, looked at the menu, and said “Ok.”
Is so dumb…
She failed a survey.
She put a stamp on a fax.
She took a penny to the bank and asked for change.
She died at a drive in movie theater. She went to see “Closed for the Winter.”
Is so ugly…
She went to the beauty parlor, and it took them three hours for an estimate.
She went to a strip club and they paid her to keep her clothes on. And that money is sending you to college.
Is so drunk they found traces of blood in her alcohol stream.
Got anything else to say about my momma? I’ll be sure to forward it to the afterlife.

KICKASS!
April 1st, 2008 at 12:27 pm
I’m worried.
I love this comic, and it hasn’t been updated in a VERY LONG time.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t read through all the comments so there might be something going on I don’t know about. Still, this makes me sad!
April 1st, 2008 at 1:46 pm
This is the saddest excuse for intelligence I have EVER SEEN Tegu!
Your mama jokes! Come on! And a list of them! If this were an anonymous post forum, I would shoot your ass!

Before everyone has a cow, I meant to say “If this WEREN’T an anonymous post forum, I would shoot your ass!”
STOP DISSAPOINTING ME!

See how upset I am! I can’t even spell correctly today!
April 1st, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Shayne… Don’t you have anything to do besides read these comments and rant about them?
April 1st, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Okay, I’ve had some thoughts in the interim of a new comic. If a wrestler should play Rage in an eventual movie, there should only be one choice, that of ‘Lionheart’ Chris Jericho, since upon review, Rage is more feline in his lycantropic appearance than lupine.
Next, Anko, you are the seriously hardcore fan, thus you are the Parker of Lost Blood.
Finally, please drop the “Yo Momma” jokes… they’re like dinosaur turds, old and crappy.
April 1st, 2008 at 10:03 pm
He opened it up, I merely ran with it.
And if you are suffering from the delusion that I need to prove my intelligence here, and I shall do so using “yo mama” jokes, I pity the April fool. I just know jokes, and felt like sharing. Thought it might be a good distraction from the bickering,
It seems I was wrong.

1-7 days after update: People are happy, joking around, saying how awesome the page is, even having conversations and making predictions. Some stupid questions are asked.
8-15 days after update: People start grumbling, asking more stupid questions, and asking semi-politely for an update. The predictions get rediculous, and usually feature Chuck Norris or other pop-culture in-jokes.
16-23 days after update: People start waging all-out war with eachother over anything and everything. People get banned. People wage more war with eachother over whether or not the banned people should have been banned in the first place. The banned people come back with different emails and screen names and start new fights People demand an update, using all caps.
1 month after update: We go into severe LB withdrawl. The ‘yo momma’ jokes appear. People like me get bored and do things like this.
The next step is nuclear war.
