Mark’s Fourth Guest Strip

About This Episode

So here’s my version of a M.Night Shyamalan twist. If you don’t get it from this episode the next one will make it clear (but seriously, how do you not know who this guy is?). I did put some subtle hints in the first couple of episodes, time to go back and have a look to see if you can spot them ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m a massive fan of some of the non-lego made accessorises you can get these days. I’ve been dying to use the Brixi can for ages now, and I’m very pleased with the result. I’d thoroughly advise seeing whats out there, some of my favourite bits have been taken out of Mega Bloks sets.

If you received a phone call to say zombies where roaming the streets, what do you think your initial reaction would be?

For those of you who don’t know who he’s talking about I suggest googling it! ๐Ÿ˜€

Mark

More importantly BrickVoid, what do you think of the twist? Did you spot the hints in episodes 1 & 2?

BrickVoid

What I meant was that until I had googled it, I had never heard of that person. Where hints are concerned, I really don’t pick up on them that much at all, especially not if I’m unfamiliar with whoever or whatever it is you’re hinting about.

BrickVoid

Also FYI: I would much prefer if you’re using a reference to whatever, that you include it in the discussion for the comic rather than making it a hint. If I did recognize something it takes that much longer for me to verify what I’m looking at because I have to wait for your response confirming or denying what I thought I picked up on.

Maybe the Spiderman-Comic is a hint ๐Ÿ˜‰

Always good to have a little twist in a shirt series like this ๐Ÿ™‚

X-men… avengers…. what’s the difference ๐Ÿ˜‰

Recognized out friend above immediately. Then I went back and found the hints in episodes 1 and 2. Its kind of ironic since I did all my comic book reading back in the late 80’s to mid 90’s and our buddy Nick had a markedly different appearance in comic form then he does in the movies. Makes me wonder about the various members of the “team” possible getting zombified in the coming conflict. The guest comic hasent really delved into the mechanism that’s causing zombification, but Im assuming its a virus. Some “team” members are armored and some are invulnerable, but will invulnerability protect you if you get infected blood in your eyes or mouth? You can probably assume that “team” members who rely on skills or complex weapon systems would lose their combat effectiveness if zombified. But others who posses more basic powers would make some truly horrific zeds. Just food for thought…..big green food for thought.

You should read Ex-Heroes by Pete Cline, it’s a Zombies and super-heroes mash-up.

Damage

That looks interesting. Have you read the whole series?

Mark

I’ve heard about this series before, not gotten around to it yet though. Heard nothing but good things so far

Mark

I have thought long and hard about the who would survive by powers and who would have to survive by skill. Definitely an interesting topic

Haha, I was wondering how you were going to round this story in 6 episodes! Go go Nick!

Mark

Who said anything about rounding the series up?!?! HAHAHA!

OK I see the poster in ep 1 but I can’t find the hint in ep 2. Anyone find it?

Love the second shot with the phone and can. Way creative!!

angelina

I was just coming back to say I found it. I skipped day 2 by mistake. Great Easter Egg! lol

Mark

Was very happy when I found the newspaper in my extras tub. Funny thing was people commented on how cool the paper is at the time but no-one picked up on the front page story!

I’m a 100% sure I wouldn’t believe someone calling me to describe the Z apocalypse… No chance ! Until I witness it myself.

Which means I’m gonna be late trying to save my asses…

Pi3rK

Just asking Mark, does your comic have a title ?? It sure deserve one. (I hope I did not miss it).

Mark

I’ve called it Zegoland (see the description in the first episode). You never know, I might leave it open ended enough for me to continue the series in the future…

Pi3rK

Sounds good to me. Both the title and the fact you can continue the story ๐Ÿ˜‰
