Notes:

1) What is it with trolls and raping dogs?

2) I also expected all the training happening off-screen, but now I'm excited we are going to learn the strengths and abilities of Ronald, "Cheeto Man" and the others.

3) Fudd haven't threw away Bugs' and Daffy's corpses. Did he drag them everywhere?

In case you a are worried:

This comic is like Star Trek. It's great when you have talking heads and little action and thinking and wit and sass, but the second you have fighting, it's really, really bad. But unfornately, not like Star Trek bad where it's so awful that it's funny.

Counterpoint: Team Silver vs Trolls. Also the first time Sonic lost his poo poo (i failed).

In case anyone is wondering, I asked lazerbot and confirmed that Elmer has been carrying the dead bodies around this whole time.

Man, Silver's relationship problems (which is all him, really) is pretty entertaining.

Also, the trolls like to rape its safer in here.

One great detail is that those power beams (?) coming from Fudd's fingers resemble puppet strings.

Man, Silver needs to just take a survey of his team to figure out their powers. I'm sure it would have been a lot more helpful if he'd known Rob was dragonborn or Fudd was a necromancer back at the Bieber Bever concert.

To be fair, it was Shadow's team back then. Silver only became in charge when the team broke apart after the Mario and Luigi fight.

Stupid troll! More dead bodies just mean more soldiers for the necromancer! Unless the body require a head to function. Or maybe he can make the corpse blow up.

I only now just realised all the high-ranking trolls including the king looks like anime characters but all the 'good guys' are either anthropomorphic or just plain cartoon characters. Except for Rob, who is still not very anime.

Rob wasn't even supposed to have any abilities beyond his lack of ears. Lazerbot's brother later suggested that Rob should be Robahkiin. Because it would be cool.

Spoken like someone who hasn't read a comic book in over a decade. Welcome to BSS. Hop on over to the Batman or Comic Recommendation threads, and see how wrong you are.

Unless by compelling you mean loving hilarious, then you're probably right. Lazerbot is a master of absurdist humor.

Indeed. lazerbot wisely chose not to challenge the likes of Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison and goes off in his own unique direction that is fascinating in its own way.

If Pac-Man grew up in medieval times because he's the first video game hero, does that mean the Looney Tunes are downright ancient? Maybe even pre-dating society as we know it, like Cthulhu?

welcome to the house of god

I wonder how this will all lead them to necromancy. Did they accidentally kill Porky, and is forced to use forbidden methods to resurrect him but it did not turn out well (though still better than what happened in Full Metal Alchemist)?

I also agree that this comic has gone off in unexpected directions since that fateful first page. It's like you watch the first episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and never thought it will end with her leading an small army and burying Sunnydale in a crater.

Edit: Hell, we got ourselves a double tonight.

I love how Lazerbot is aware that the readers will be able to read between the lines and figure out what Bugs and Daffy are really doing when they go out and get wasted, but Wile E. himself can't possibly imagine what on earth they do in the bathroom for several hours.

...several hours? Jesus.

What I like better is that those two apparently still hang around them but Fudd has this pathological urge to kill them.

The MSJ

Yeah, he could probably go for somewhere between 10 and 20 chapters.

Though I would welcome a spin-off based on Silver, Rob and others, I wouldn't really say no if he also decides to make a comic based on Legend of Zelda (another favourite game series of lazerbot's).

Porky just looks like a guy who probably couldn't take more than one beer.

Oh, God. The drunk Looney Tunes + Tom is fantastic. I especially love Coyote looking decided less smug and just barely lucid in that karaoke panel.

Tom's speech... why does it mention the killing of the Roadrunner? I thought that Troll Slaiyers only just helped kill the Roadrunner.

Or maybe all of this happened right before the concert? Or did Shadow help kill the Roadrunner much earlier?

Road Runner and Jerry isn't dead yet at that point, I think. It's just Sylvester got Tweety first but he was being so smug about being 'first' that Tom had to lay the burn.

This is fast becoming an after-school special about the dangers of excessive drinking, and now drugs.

Also lazerbot can apparently a draw pretty decent-looking sexy woman. Unfortunately, I suspect she meant it literally when she said she wants someone with "meat". As in pork, ham, bacon etc.

lazerbot mentioned that this flashback is the longest one yet he's done. Expect it to take up more than half this chapter.

I wouldn't be surprised if the actual reason they are necromancers is because they accidentally joined a necromancer coven while drunk and/or high.

This is a flashback, so the people who are supposed to be in those bags might not be dead yet.

Hah, this is almost as great as Johnny and 4 balls in New Vegas. I'm feeling just as amazed anyway.

I also think my prediction was correct; they became necromancers after drunkenly stumbling into a necromancer church.
