Apparently, in Washington it is perfectly legal to fight as long as both combatants agree. So this dude picks a fight with Rain City Superhero Movement point-man Phoenix Jones, and well...
I so wish the camera dude could have gotten closer... I would have paused it to do my drawing. So what did we learn? If you meet a dude who walks around dressed like a superhero, don't challenge him to a fight? Make sure he's not a freaking Mixed Martial Artist? Look at it this way: At least it wasn't Batman...
I think it is pretty cool that the one dude wants to fight at the end but Phoenix says no. I have no reason to believe it was fear of losing that motivated him to walk away, but whatever it was, it just made him seem more badass. Like, "yeah, I lullabied your boy already, kick rocks..."
Maybe the other dude will come back later as a supervillain or something. Keep challenging Phoenix to take him on. Whatever the case, stay away from mud pits, that's all I'm sayin'...
-samax.

Yeah. Phoenix Jones is the real deal.
ReplyDeletePlus, duel laws in Washington, huh? Nice!
Plus, I can tell you why he didn't fight that guy's "bro".
ReplyDeleteA superhero kicking one dude's ass makes him look hard. Kicking his whole posse's ass makes him look like a bully with something to prove.
Obviously I don't know what's in Phoenix Jones' head, but I figure that's his reasoning. I think he really wants to do good; be a hero, not just a vigilante.
I agree. Although no one would hold it against him if he stomped that dude. What a mark...
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, that Mutual Combatant law SCREAMS your comics.
yessssssssss
ReplyDeletelove the comic. :)
Yeah man don't roll up on a swole cat with a mask walking the street. Still, I would have liked to see that second dude get snuck. I wonder how often cops laugh at stuff like this.
ReplyDelete@Ross- Thanks!
ReplyDelete@Steelo- I would LOVE to seen that as well...
