Starbolts #637: Taking Care of Business

 

 Hail! 

    Wow! This week we're heading into two epic confrontations happening at once. In one area of the Gaea we have Jack squaring off against his former friend, Richard. In another area, we have Crystal and Andrea facing Ruby. The latter may seem like a mismatch. But, wait until you see what happens. The playing field will be evened out and someone's going to be walking out of that battle a different person. I'm not going to say who. Just wait and see what happens next!

    As far as Jack goes, that was one cheesy one-liner from him. Eh, it's to be expected. He's trying to diffuse the tension by cracking small jokes. I originally was going to have the tome of the Skymother roasted. Then I remembered that it's Dovianni property. I would think they would like to have that book back intact, don't ya think? Yeah, I'd think so!

     It seems that Val has a lot to work through, though. However, I think Crystal is right here. For all of Sola's faults, she did take care of Valentina when she needed it. She was there for her and helped her through some serious stuff she had to deal with while under Terra Nova's "tender loving care". So, perhaps she has a point. Perhaps something of Sara was in Sola when she helped her. They were good friends before their relationship. 

    The problem is that Simon still thinks of Sara as Sola and that might drive a wedge in their relationship. Let's hope that when she comes back she'll be able to straighten out that boy. Valentina loves Simon and he has to realize that before it's too late. After all he was the one who really helped her get over the crush she had on Crystal. That and seeing Crystal with Marcus probably helped.

    That is quite a lot of drama! Look for more on that in the future. Right now we have some epic battles to go through!

See ya next time!

Starbolts #636: Parental Disapproval

 

    Looks like the Kyodon part of the arc is finally over now that the giant turtle understands humanity a bit more. I didn't want to delve too much into it as I'm sure everyone's heard that story before. Sufficed it to say, Kyodon learned what was good about humanity. Ironically, it all came from Elisabeth's daughter, Ellie. Man, those two have got to put the dys in dysfunctional, huh? I don't think there's any love lost between mother and daughter here. Well, it's a sad state of affairs. I don't think there's any coming back from where they are. At least Ellie has other moms in her corner. So what if her birth mom is a self-hating nutcase.

      Gotta love how the Inobe escaping took the form of several alien creatures. Something tells me they've never been to Earth before. So, they are bound to stick out like a sore thumb. More action is coming your way as our heroes take care of some unfinished business!

See ya next time!

Starbolts #635: The Great Escape

 

 Hail!

    It looks like Yeena was successful in her mission to free the Agents of S.T.A.R.. However, there is an uphill battle as Richard mentioned in the comic. I think Earth's mightiest will be able to take on the baddies from that prison, don't you? Of course they'll likely be joined by the Starbolts in mere moments. So, things are looking good for our heroes. Ah, but don't forget that the story isn't over, yet. We've still got a few confrontations left to go through and there's still that matter of the ghosts and that mysterious passenger to deal with. There's still more coming so stay tuned!

    Gregorio being used as a battery is rather barbaric I will admit. Picture him being sapped of his power, allowed to recharge a little bit at a time and then sapped again. It really is torture. It's going to take some time for him to recover. Let's hope that Firaxil and Richie do not meet up with the person who devised such a deadly device. Poor guy. At least he's on the mend.

    I will admit that I like the last couple panels of this week's comic. While we didn't see the entire conversation between Kyodon and Ellie, we do have an idea of what they discussed. We'll delve into more of that next time. I think it's safe to say that Ellie and her mother are going to have words. VERY strong words.

So much is going to happen in the next few comics. I hope you all enjoy the ride! The best is yet to come!

See ya next time!

Starbolts #634: Disorder in the Court

 

 Hail!

     Some people just don't know when to back away from a potential crisis. When a giant monster is stomping around your town, you should probably keep your distance. Makes sense, right? And it's not like there has never been a crisis IN the city. There have been several! Well, this incident was recorded and it caught Elisabeth's attention to the point that she had her Aquan friend pilot the ship toward her daughter's location. Make no mistake. Elisabeth isn't doing this out of motherly concern for Ellie's well-being. No, this is more about how the family might look. There is no altruism here.

    Elisabeth was more concerned about hosting a kangaroo court for the Agents and even then that has a fair bit of courtroom drama. Snake is clearly unhinged here. If he had the opportunity, he'd gleefully kill the Whitefoxes without a second thought. Though, would Stan have been able to stop the bullets? His powers have been weakened. So, it's hard to say if he could have stopped it in time. I think at this point Snake may be at the point of no return. There is clearly nothing redeeming him.

    Meanwhile, Yeena and Pegasus have made their way to the Gaea. Our Aquan friend is more than willing to take some risks given the circumstances. Can you blame her? She's a telepath and she along with her children can sense the emotions of others around her. She knows the Starbolts are a bit antsy at the moment. Will she be able to save them? We'll see!

More action is coming soon! Stay tuned!
