Sudden and Inevitable
Chapter: Season Ten
And that’s a series wrap for [redacted] everyone!
I know some of you would’ve like to see Team Mantle deal with that thing, but his end was written long ago and personally, I am happy with it.

It has been truly wonderful to see the characters and your art grow over the course of the series. I can’t wait to see what the last few weeks bring. Though I will be sad to see it come to a close, I am also excited for what IGS can bring to the table!
I think it was the right choice, helps amp up the power/gravitas of the situation with out having to throw one of team mantle under the bus (no one has to be the piccolo/krillin)
A fitting end to a pathetic traitor.
It helps sell just how dark / evil the UberBoss is – as well as rubbing in how much Klaus delights in cruelty and the infliction o pain, both emotional AND physical.
I see scenes like this and I always think something to the effect of… “Hey Klaus, as you’re casually murdering the no longer useful henchman… that’s how your patron feels about you. Ya better hope you can stay useful or it’ll be your turn.”
Yeah, I always immediately think ‘That’s just bad minion management mate. They will inevitably betray you if they see you treat your minions like that’ when the BBEG does something like that.
Series Wrap for the Head Elf? Wrapping it up at the North Pole? I see what you did there.
Splorch
did the blisters on his head pop first?
Asking the real questions.
Thanos vibe. Anyone else?
The 2-3-4 panels of that row of Higgins’ reactions is too perfect.
I know you’re pressed for time and space but this is a perfect time for Brett to mock Klaus with a bad Mystery Men Cassanova Frankenstein accent. ‘You see? I kill my own men.’. 😛
Personally, I always enjoy a good minion comeuppance in the form of sudden but inevitable betrayal from within the ranks.
Well he was rewarded that he deserve. A Traitor Death. Lets see Klaus Jr. next move is…
CURSE YOUR SUDDEN BUT INEVITABLE BETRAYAL!
…xD
Argh, I was just gonna post that ‘cos it was the first thing that occurred to me after reading, and it’s already here!
*throws toy dinosaurs!* 😛
Also is Us supposed to be in parenthesis in Klaus’s statement, or is it supposed to be “ME” ???
It might be that the *us* that Klaus is using is referring to him and their crystalline patron.
No, it’s asterisks for bold/emphasis *US* rather than “US”
Aight! That clears it up! Thanks gents!
Nah, he got exactly what he deserved. 😀
A betrayer betrayed. As good of a death as he deserves.
Yep. An end befitting an asshole. Let that be a lesson, folks – if you’re willing to betray your former boss, what makes you think your new boss is going to trust you? Ten bucks and a fig newton says Mysterious Dark Power has plans for Klaus too, before he gets any ideas.
Klaus has his whole chain of useful idiots – Delhopp, Lee, and at the very bottom, Dove. I wonder how Dove will feel when he discovers just how far down the pecking order he is.
(I don’t include Trevor in the chain of useful idiots. Useful distraction/eye candy for Lee, perhaps, but otherwise incidental to Dellhop’s agenda, never mind Klaus’s)
Hey, as far as we know, Dove is the only underling who didn’t suffer any serious physical injuries.
It’s be pretty awesome to get a panel of him reporting for work the next morning to find the rubble of the Game Haus where his professional ego should be.
I was JUST thinking about that happening to Dove!
Beautiful symmetry in Clives fate, in the end he was just as disposable as he treated everyone else.
Purple kinda sus.
This should go on the Overlord list, as this is a rookie villain mistake. Never dispose of a loyal but annoying retainer until AFTER your final victory is secure. Until then you’re never quite sure if they truly have outlived their usefulness.
For example, he would still have made a good meatshield, or helped split the opposition’s attention at a crucial moment.
I kind of wholly agree with this here! Klaus killing Delhopp just because here seems fairly strange, but not from a storytelling or comeuppance perspective just because Delhopp’s usefulness is still possible, especially when Klaus is saying he thought a lot about his revenge while being in captivity. He knows he still has to deal with Mrs. Klaus still.
It does show that Klaus is confident to a fault, and I get that this is probably better timeline-wise for an October wrap up of the series, and I still say bravo for the rest of this story, it’s very good. This just makes little sense to me.
Maybe the Patron has only a limited amount of power to lend to underlings, and doesn’t want to spread it too thinly now Clive has completed his task?
Clive, you idiot! You know you’re only allowed to live as long as you’re useful! Plus, you reek of betrayal. That has to be handled before it gets worse.
When ever I see that kind of thing happen by someone*not* the big boss, I think, ‘you don’t think you’re exempt do you?”
Klaus called it his patron, Delhopp talked about “true power and emotion”… is the purple thing some sort of emotion-based being? Some kind of personification of Fear? I’m guessing Fear because it was Klaus’ thing previously “teaching children discipline and strict obedience through fear”
Okay, did anybody else click “Klaus” on the character tags and enjoy that great fight sequence from Back When?
Delhop should’ve been a bellhop
