Panel 2: Worry not, dear readers, as we will eventually learn what the heck is up with this blood-spattered giant—though precise details will not be revealed for a little while.

Panel 3: I've been using the sound FX "VRRRTT"—or some variation thereof—since the very first Dirty Pair miniseries, when it was used for a gunship's multi-barrelled cannon.

Panel 4: Whoever might this character be?  Find out tomorrow, folks!  (Webcomic readers with an extraordinary eye for detail and/or prodigious memories might have guessed by now, but I implore print comic readers to avoid divulging SPOILERS.)
