... I have no idea what happened here. Also, it seems green Megaman can't wrap his head around the idea of killing somebody. |

Just don't look down and you won't fall off the cliff. |
Hey, the comic seems to be updating kind of regularly. Maybe we should vote to spread the word.

Nice to know the captor (I forget his name, if it's been revealed) noticed the purple electric in Alex's Super Scope shot. And that was quite a punch, even if it was miscalculated. |

I guess the reality-enforcing fields are subjective, like in a Warner Bros. cartoon. Megs miscalculated the punch energy. When Wright corrected him, reality enforced the correction. |

It probably has to do with the proximity to the ruined Gate. Weird crap happens. Also? Holy crap Green Megs is powerful. He punched the poor sucker so hard he broke the sound barrier. And I've got the feeling that wasn't even the hardest he can punch. |

It hasn't been proven that his name is Ryan, but it's definitely been suggested. And wow. Given how powerful the Sinistrals have been established to be, someone who can beat one so easily is...Er, I'm trying to decide between "awe-inducing" and "terrifying". |

This is an awesome comic. Edit: Is it just the gate, or does Wright seem to have strange powers beyond that? I mean, this incident and Megaman dying were both close to the gate, but... Also, where'd Vegeta go? He's gonna kick himself for missing this if he did. Maybe. |

It could be worse than that, its possible that the Purple Energy could negate Erim's power. And if not...then Alex is gonna be pissed later. |

The Purple Energy is probally Omega Energy or something from the D Cells. Also it seems that Green Mega is going to end up Operating on more or less Captain N/REal world Physics (But most likely Captain N) |

That was Amon. He flew so fast he overtook his scream. Which is now catching up to him. |

Nobody. The last couple panels has his body on the dunes, and his still-traveling-at-the-speed-of-sound scream catching up to him. |

It's a nice effect if you know what's happening. |

With the gate down, isn't being outside the city about as safe as inside the city? |

So... um... I don't get what happened at all. I understand a coyote standing above a pit if he hasn't looked down. I'm all fine with that. But the formula doesn't appear to have been said by anyone. And I cannot recall any game where the formula for kinesthetic energy just appears out of nowhere to signify movement. I mean, I get the gag - I get that he only went so far because velocity wasn't squared, and then after pointing it out, he went uber fast to catch up. But I don't get what the gag rests on. I don't understand why the equation even appeared in the first place. Everytime Megaman moves, is this equation going to appear on the screen? Somebody explain this to me please. I suspect it's a cultural reference I'm simply not getting. |

It's not a cultural reference, it's not a game reference, it's just a gag. Megaman didn't realize how hard he hit Amon. Wright explained. BOOM. It's a Loony Tunes gag with more physics, mostly. Exactly the same thing as a coyote walking over thin air because he's looking up, and then falling the instant he looks down. |

It took me a bit to get it. That formula that comes up is like the damage numbers that come up with you hit something in an RPG. Instead of having 1000 come up because Megaman took 1000 hit points off him, that formula came up. |
