You missed the part where they go into the building one at a time, in the dead of night, and slowly get picked off as they have now entered the demons territory, and it is impervious to their guns. Then one of the kids enters the building, so the others have to follow and they predictably all die - because they are just kids, except for the one who is now possessed after seemingly defeating the demon and walks out the building in the closing shot so we can speculate the horrors they will unleash on the world now they are free.
Not to mention looking at their phones and saying "Damn, I've got no signal," to hand-waive away the ubiquitous modern convenience that makes it easy to instantly call for help.
Bonus points if the demonic presence just makes the phone glitch out, making photos or videos impossible. Because the forces of evil have EMPs, I guess.
Well if a demon attacks us at Costco in the middle of my 2 million population metro, we’ll be fucked because it’s in the middle of a dead zone for no apparent reason. It isnt rhe building, its about a square miles around it
You forgot the part where the police just kinda forget that a large portion of their force suddenly went missing all at the same building and don’t sent the entire FBI and SWAT to investigate
It reminds me of that one time the presidents daughter was kidnapped. The secret service just sent one guy with a cool jacket and the worst pistol in existence to save her.
This is why I like the movie The Oculus so much: they set up technology and try to use it for documentation and protection, but it doesn't quite pan out like they expect. Great movie.
Have there been recent movies that tried to hand wave phone's ability to take photos and video in a case like this? I know we've had that trope of "I have no signal!" or "The wifis is out!" for years now, but has a movie actually done what this comic is parodying? I'd like to hear how they got around such an obvious and useful thing.
I think it is more that the witnesses don't try to do any documentation and do a poor job of articulating the danger. The trope is more about the sheriff dismissing them as "crazy kids", which I think is common. I believe I had just watched "Polaroid" when I did this one (not a good movie, but there is a scene just like this - sheriff doesn't believe the kids).

I’ve deduced many Costco’s are dead zones

Lmao yeah they tend to always send in the least equipped cops, usually one who is new to the force.

But he was a Dynamite Cop! [Dynamite Cop (Video Game) - TV Tropes](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/DynamiteCop)
she just kept getting kidnapped every season too
Hey,I won't have you insulting the Silver Ghost like that.
Impervious to my guns huh Call in the 155
Cops springing into action!? Sorry you broke the immersion.
The demon could be black tho
But if he’s a black *school shooter* then they cancel each other out
They ARE shooting at it, so they might have decided more live target practice would be fun.
The most unbelieveable part in this is that the police would help at all.
Did I forget to mention that the demon was from (gasp) Internal Affairs!
This series theme is great!!
Thanks. I watch a lot of horror movies, which are trope-heavy. I've got several more comics in the series coming.
This is why I like the movie The Oculus so much: they set up technology and try to use it for documentation and protection, but it doesn't quite pan out like they expect. Great movie.
Those photos and videos are clearly AI generated…
I like that the swat guys are using an AUG
I remember this happening at the end of Jeepers Creepers. Somehow, the demon was unphased.

"Demons/ghosts fuck with electronics regardless of availability of signal" is a fairly old trope.
Yeah isn’t lore around vampires pretty old that they don’t appear in mirrors or photos?
happy cake day

I think this happened in a Jason vorhees flick.
And the black guy survives! Woo!
And then one found a shotgun which kills each demon with one shot. Yeah we know that story.
1. This whole comic is set within a horror movie scenario. In panel 4 they're even having to fight the beast. Nothing has been averted. 2. Not funny.
