Oddworld: "Stranger's Vaccuum"

I was reading about Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath over at Gamespot tonight, checking out the screenshots, watching the gameplay videos. And, I decided that this was a game that I had to play... and better yet had to make a comic about it.
See, Stranger is the lead character in a Western Setting with that classic Oddworld "weird" twist. He's a bounty hunter collecting badguys for cash. He uses a rapidfire, repeating, double-"barreled" crossbow. And, the game gives a whole new meaning to the word "live ammo" by using various bugs and critters as bullets.
The targets are worth more money if they're alive when you take them. So, it's in Stranger's interest to stun the bounty... then suck them up with some kind of cosmic vaccuum. In all the screenshots and game-play videos, I've yet to actually SEE the vaccuum. Thus far you only see Stranger's back and a green glow.
And, that's where the comic extends from. The idea is that the cable guy was evil so the cosmic vaccuum ate him.
What? I thought it was funny.
