CAUSTIC HERO OR VILLAIN? CAUSTIC HERO OR VILLAIN?
ISSUE 4!
Words from the Authors:
Yasin E:
Hey everyone I’m glad you’re back and ready to read another issue of peak (and if you haven’t read any of the other ones go do that and come back). I know I say this every issue but this one might just be my favorite! I had a wonderful time helping conceptualize the story to the pacing and had a crazy lock in on the art. And yeah, I know not a lot of people read this comic, but if you found out about it on your own mention it to someone you know, it’d be great for us and (me personally) my confidence in this series. And thanks for taking the time to read my message, go read either Spencer’s words or Caustic Issue #4: Hero or Villain!
Spencer J:
Hey guys! This issue was by far the one me and Yasin had the most fun making. It was a joy to write and color, and the art is just really dynamics and characters really pop off the page. After the S-tier lock-in required to finish the issue in a week I need a nap, so I’m gonna keep this short. Just sit back and make sure to enjoy the 4th issue! And us? We’ll be working on another S-tier lock-in to get you issue five in another week!

Wait
but I thought my wife’s right, I need to lay off the donuts.
he’s already
you’re welcome...
Police have the building surrounded,
but have been unable to negotiate with the crazed hero. More on this later
i’ve been waiting...
Breaking News! The city’s newest hero, Caustic, has taken a bank in downtown Exurbia hostage...
Amigo...
You’re a tough guy to find... S’pose you wouldn’t stay at your old place...
but still. You’d think I’d be better than that.
Really? You used to love my jokes. C’mon, don’t you recognize little ‘ol noxious? Yeesh. The accident really did a number on you, pal.
I guess “able”’s a strong word. Your whole gimmick is just one big rip off of the Alchemist.
That old stuff fell outta fashion 40 years ago!
That jog a couple memories? Didn’t think so.
I was there, and damn was it ugly to see. Surprised you’re even able to do this hero schtick.
nice try, pal...
but I picked up a couple tricks that night too!
It’s almost like you actually have blood!
Gotta say, though, the attention to detial is great!
got that from kung-fu sibyl 3
people say the 3rd is the worst... ... it has its moments
Yunno, I thought at first you didn’t know anything about our gifts...
I thought you woke up amnesiatic in the middle of nowhere looking like an off-brand Theta Squad member...
CRACK!
You’re just too scared to break free and let the real you out.
You’d rather be this miserable, weak thing than a god among men. You’re pathetic.
POW!
and thought all you could do was melt stuff with your hands and stretch a little.
But no, you know what you’re dealing with. You know everything we’re capable of, and even everything that actually hurts us.
Face it, champ, we ain’t human anymore. They’re beneath us.
Why do you only show your real self when it’s these worthless meat sacks on the line?
It’s eat or be eaten, and we’ve been dealt the better hand. So we should eat.
For what? Holding on to humanity?
OH my god... Thank you!
but at least you gave me some new tricks!
You’re not getting away that easy!
Not after the botched face lift. Before I was just trying to have some fun. Now you’re gonna pay.
where do you think you’re going?
that was fun... W H A M !
THUD!
hey @$%hole i’m talking to ya’!
THUD!
oof!
now we’re talkin’...
THUD!
LEAVE
ALONE!
