There Is No Kill Like Overkill/Web Comics: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' takes this to heart, especially Kevyn, who wears ''antimatter grenades'' on his ''shoulders''. One of those antimatter grenades is capable of slagging a tank, and the other has the yield of a good-sized ''nuke''.

** Schlock himself runs around with two sawed off ''anti-tank multicannons'' and an oversized plasgun. The multicannons are especially ridiculous because he can hook up feeders and, quote, "fire breacher rounds on full auto."

** Actually subverted on one occasion, in which Schlock mocks two enemies for aiming anti-tank weapons at him. They tell him that they're not worried about a little overkill, to which Schlock responds, "OK, but you might want to use your anti-tank weapons [[Oh Crap|on those tanks behind you.]]"

** Schlock's immune system is itself a form of overkill, it allows him to survive practically anything, even including foreign nanites.

** Pretty much any time they decide to let Richard loose.

* Riff's anti-vampire, wooden stake [[Gatling Good|gatling Gun]] from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]''. [http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=981004 "Now THAT is one staked vampire."]

* ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'': [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0639.html Familicide]. Nothing says "overkill" like {{spoiler|making Black Dragons the newest member of the Endangered Species list}}.

** {{spoiler|Just how far past the spell ended up that is a sobering reminder of just how badly people underestimate the concept of OVERKILL.}}

* In ''[[Nip and Tuck]]'', the [[Show Within a Show]] ''Rebel Cry'' features [https://web.archive.org/web/20130312061745/http://www.rhjunior.com/NT/00689.html a disproportionate effort to go after one rebel.]

* From [http://www.genocideman.com/?p=135 this episode] of ''[http://www.genocideman.com/ Genocide Man]'' "The old government policy of proportionate response failed in the 21st century. Now the official policy is overwhelming response. Overkill. First and always."

{{quote|"Don't say another goddamn word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say '''anything''' else--word '''one'''--I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds it's destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, fueled by my hatred for you this '''fear engine''' will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though coming from a great distance. A smoking orb of ''nothing'' will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth."
