No question about this one : Alice Shot First.
kra-KOW!
Finally a page without a bunch of dialogue for me to pore over endlessly ;)
Just a simple, classic page of a girl shooting a tank with a raygun.
But, flash aside, things are just heating up!
Stay tuned!

Excellent, will the tank expode on the next page? Maybe it is too tanky and will take mlre than one shot.
Speaking of more than one shot iwonder what the energy/fuel for that pistol is and what its capacity would be, it looks like it orettymuch used up most of its power with that shot
BFGs like that are a staple of sci-fi. I love it when they become plot points. Reminds me of A Fire Upon the Deep.
Without giving away too much too soon, the raygun definitely does have a limit (otherwise it'd end up having the Superman problem and just be way overpowered to ever face a real challenge, haha)
Not saying it's AT its limit, but yep, definitely a power limit that prevents it being the be-all-end-all of warfare.
She have shot first in this version, but the director could always fudge it to look otherwise later.
In the revised version, the tank fires first and she just awkwardly jolts out of the way.
Plus there's like waaaay more CGI in the background of each page.
Yup! Just don't think too hard about the physics of it all, and we'll all be ok.
Neil Degrasse Tyson will probably have some curt words for the eventual Yesterdaybound movie.
Well, I don't know if that counts as a killshot, but I think Alice should start running now anyway, even if she has to drag Anna behind her. :D
Shoulda, woulda, coulda!
But probably won't!
Although, i'm sure she'd jump on the chance to drag Anna along some distance, she does owe her the return favour. So never say never!
Man those Wookieepedia links are dangerous haha. Down the rabbit hole ya go... next thing you know, 10 hours have passed and you're an expert on the Battle of Dubrillion.
Seems to me, recoil from that "Ray Gun", should have blown Alice half way around the Planet! Too much concern for the physics?
Alice actually weighs 800 tons.
Wait... have I not mentioned that yet??
Nah, I kid. She just uses rule-of-cool Physics as opposed to boring, real life "This handgun would liquify all of my bones" physics.
