Synopsis
The comic opens with Merasmus returning from WizardCon MCLVI (1156), being driven back to his castle, attempting, and failing, to use magic to force the cab driver to lower the price. Merasmus returns to his castle to find it completely wrecked by the RED Soldier, with raccoons and his refrigerator buried in the front yard. Merasmus confronts the Soldier and is soon informed by a city official that his castle now houses every single raccoon in the Badlands area and that it is being annexed into a raccoon sanctuary as a result. Merasmus is told to "take it up with the park ranger", the Soldier. After the Soldier taunts him, Merasmus snaps, his ghostly form vowing to kill the Soldier. The Soldier claims that he will come back stronger, citing an occasion in which he took the wizard's "Kill Me Come Back Stronger Pills". Merasmus instead decides to kill everyone the Soldier cares about.
The comic cuts to the Soldier casually retelling the story to the RED Scout and Spy, explaining why the members of the RED team are being killed.

Trivia
- When attempting to turn the page at the end of the comic, one of the in-game sound effects for walking on top of a player's head is played.
- It is worth noting that Merasmus's roommate (the Soldier) has differed from comic to comic. In the Bombinomicon (Comic), the RED Soldier states that Merasmus is his roommate. In A Smissmas Story, the BLU Spy states that a magician that is also the BLU Soldier's roommate somehow turned the BLU Soldier into a lawyer, and the magician the BLU Spy was referring to was probably Merasmus. In the hidden pages of Soldier Needs A Home, Merasmus's roommate he kicked out was the BLU Soldier. In this comic, however, Merasmus appears to have kicked out the RED Soldier out of his home.
