Battle beast comics
Of course his whole thing is hunting down an opponent strong enough to kill him and hes a warrior at heart but his whole reason for leaving his homeworld to seek an opponent was so he didnt destroy his world because of his rage curse 💔 and hes not a bad person at all morally, we know he was a hero for his world both told from his perspective and one of their people (assuming their king) When nolan and Allen are trying to recruit him. He and salaka become friends pretty damn fast for saying thokk was threatening to eat him and hes not cruel to strangers i.e thresha's people, wagulla (who was previously trying to cook him even) and others. He's in a roundabout way a liberator for a lot of people when he seeks out strong opponents and in no way did he have to win the new suit for salaka either. It's clear his curse does weigh on him heavily though with his outbursts about it, and he becomes VERY agitated when computer digs into him about him being unnecessarily snappy and how hes seemingly fallen from being a good person in that way. I do find it curious how spartan he is, in the way he allows himself literally no comforts and even decides to just lay down and sleep on the ships floor. It could be a culture thing, or maybe more of an "im not deserving" because of his curse. Maybe a bit of both. Hes pretty complex ! Hes also just hilarious.
Like seriously, what is the need to be so edgy whats with the aura farming im dead. Im a really big fan of the BB comics specifically because even 6 issues in they already have so many of these dumb moments with a focus on combat and i really love that kind of thing. I like salaka a lot too, I wonder if he was even conscious in the colossus' stomach. If so that makes it a whole lot worse that he was kind of just stuck in there thinking about how he really should have tried to do anything to help his people and he didn't for a couple thousand years, just chilling with dead ma and pa 👍 but hes a totally different person in the present. I dont even think he was morally bad before his whole tragic backstory event either, he doesnt seem unkind or even very stuck up, privileged and he knows it yes but he seems to rely on that out of comfort. he just seems like he had a total wake up call ego death which i appreciate. Theres probably a lot of guilt on his end. Oh god the hair had to go im so happy he went bald the blonde lick just wasn't it. Computer im undecided on. Obviously computer is tolerating or even fond of salaka, but absolutely despises battle beast through and through because it even doubts salaka's friendship with thokk, but that may just come from mistrust and hatred from bb murdering its whole crew. Not that i dislike computer! im kind of in a middle ground with it im waiting to see how it progresses further through the issues first. I do find it funny how it just calls bb out on his bullshit though, and the several attempts at betrayal are pretty amusing
I do find it interesting how the curse passed onto his daughter though ! Wonder why that is. Very grateful for these comics because hopefully the opportunity to give our lesser touched on characters that are still important to the plot some focus, like the viltrumites coming in 👀 I dont know if the plot will end where his imprisonment is or if it will jump around the main timeline but if theres some run in with others like space racer that would be cool. I also really appreciate the art in these comics because ottley should hopefully have the time to properly execute what he wants and the colouring is done by annalisa leoni who does some great work, especially if you can pick up the physical issues it just looks so good! The fact that so many artists have made covers for the issues is great too its insane how many variants there are.
