Still wish the raptor figures had articulated wrists (or elbows!) Ah well... I'm sure LEGO will add them in about 10 years after we don't need them for the comic anymore ;)
(Just like they added some really great Harry Potter stuff right near the end of THAT comic. Go figure!)

Swiftbow: Replacing limbs with weapons or guns sounds more like a Borg sort of thing.

BrickVoid: There's no reason you couldn't build an oversized cannon or gun onto him! A Raptor with a good offensive weapon is what is really needed! So it looks a little out of place, I can put up with minor flaws if it's for the benefit of the fight that is to come! :D

Swiftbow: It's a Technic slot, yes. I've played with that... but they end up looking like bricks or Bionicle, not like natural arms.

BrickVoid: Do the arm sockets take standard LEGO pins or just the raptorm arm pins supplied with it? It might be possible to construct a brick-built arm if you have the right Technic pieces. Just a thought. :D

Panel 1:
Narration Box: Meanwhile!
Sergeant Hicks: Here's your weapon, sir.
Commodore Jeffrey Bannister: Great job, Sergeant! Any luck locating Commander Staratt?
Hick: We suspect she's also in the palace, sir. But you were easier to find.

Panel 2:
Commander Dale Zurkett: Well, it works out that the advisor wanted us to watch his "moment of triumph." Now we can see what's happening outside.
    But damn, the Spoogians are already attacking the square. And they have no fire support!

Panel 3:
Andre Peters: That transporter trap we rigged helped even the odds.
Ezzok: Not enough! They've got single shot rifles against disruptors!
    What we need is a battalion of Gorn! That'd sort the Romulans out.
Dale: Hey, we have one Gorn. Maybe that's enough.

Panel 4:
Dale: Ezzok... I want you to take Stockton and Murphy. Reinforce the Spoogians and take that square.
    It could be rough. They still have numbers. Watch yourself and try not to wade into melee. You're not invincible.
EzzoK: Y... you're putting me in command? But I'm not Starfleet!
Dale: You've served with us twice now. By my reckoning, you're in the fleet.
    We'll discuss a proper rank assignment later.

Panel 5:
Dale: Do you concur, Commodore?
Jeff: Indeed, I do!
Ezzok: Then I won't let you down, sirs!

Panel 6:
Dale: Okay... Sergeant Hicks, Private Thompson... secure the palace control room.
    The Commodore, Mr. Peters, and mysel will find Natashia.
Hicks: Yessir!
Dale: Right... move out! And let's go save Sping-Spang-Spoogie!
