TWO:
DRAKE diving for cover behind the MAINMAST, as bullets chew wood and deck.

Return fire!
Wow, great panel. My first impression was that Drake was actually getting shot, and my pulse jumped up. Then I saw that he wasn’t, but still…
…good stuff, gentlemen.
Splinters from the mast can still be doing some damage there…
Exactly. Drake’s probably got a couple of splinters to deal with, but good thing he’s a long, tall drink o’water and can cover behind the mast.
I bet his underwear can be counted as a casualty.
I’d take that bet. We’ve seen him in worse situations without losing his cool; outnumbered four to two by professional killers and surprised by a giant steam mecha both spring to mind. I’m guessing this isn’t his first Gatling gun encounter.
Who else harbors secret dreams of Drake taking on a flyer with a freaking revolver? It’s OK to admit that you think it would be AWESOME.
me i was dreaming about it right now .Rucka do it now
Yes, it would be awesome. It also seems like the natural thing to do under the circumstances.
Dear Santa, could Drake get for Christmas the opportunity to down that flyer with his six-guns? Aside from saving a few lives, the impression points he’d earn from Sabre would be worth it.
