Starbolts #576: Shadows of the Night

 

 

Hail! 

    There's a lot to unpack this week so let's get started. I'm trying something new with this body possession thing. There's a cliche where someone is possessed and he or she doesn't tell anyone right away. Marcus isn't that person. Marcus WANTS Demonstorm out of his body as soon as possible. He isn't too keen on having him around and you can bet that he will make his stay in Marcus's brain as unpleasant as possible. How? By doing the exact opposite of what Demonstorm tells him to do. Thankfully, the lord of Demonsk doesn't have access to Marcus's higher brain functions, yet. All he can do is watch and whisper lies in his ear. It would take time for the possession to fully take hold. So, the Starbolts are on a race to stop him from completely taking over their friends' body. 

    Crystal is prepared to do whatever it takes to get her boyfriend back. What this means is up in the air. What will she intend to do? Well, the answer will come in the next few comics. I won't spoil anything. But, now Crystal is confident and Marcus wants Demonstorm gone.Crystal is right. She's been through hell to get to this point and you know she's going to fight like hell to get him back. He called her unpredictable. He hasn't seen anything, yet!

    I picked Pat Benatar's "Shadows of the Night" as a title because it seemed appropriate to what's happening with Speedy. Take her hand, Marcus. You'll be alright! Demonstorm is clearly the shadow of the night here. He has no concept of "love" in his heart. He's going to learn that he definitely picked the wrong Starbolt to possess!!

See you next time!
