Starbolts #638: Liberty's Children

Trigger Warning: Mention of rape in this week's comic. If you or anyone you know has been sexually assaulted, please seek out someone who can help you.

 

 Hail!

    When I said that there was going to be an epic confrontation this week, I was not lying! First up we have Crystal scarring the holy hell out of Ruby. She'll be needing to wear that mask all the time now. The cuts that were inflicted on her were the same ones that Crystal used on Cody. They were magic-based and because of that the cuts will become scars that will never heal. What's worse is that they will likely burn on her face for as long as she draws breath. Now that's a curse I can get behind!

    Did she deserve it? Umm....I'm going to say "yes". Yes, she did deserve it. I mean she was jealous of Lady Liberty and took it out on her daughter. She hired a man who she KNEW would sexually assault a minor (She was 13 at the time.). She tortured Firaxil. She had her "husband" killed. The list of charges go on and on. Ruby Arronfeld was not a nice lady. Mother Theresa, she ain't.

     I told everyone that Crystal was not going to take the whole hiring Cody thing lightly. Our heroine reacted the only way she could. With dark magic and rage. There was only one solution there. I don't think they were going to talk about their issues.

    At least she is likely to spend the rest of her days in prison for what she did. Crystal has no remorese. But, I wonder what Sara meant by "she can never kill her or anyone". Something must be up. She must know something we don't know.

    Still, it's good to see Sara is back and is rocking that raven-colored hair. Firaxil is definitely going to like his wife's new look. We'll find out what happened in the next few comics. For now we have some more pressing matters.

    What is Jack going to do about Snake? Is he going to let him live or die? That remains to be seen. The guy is literally on his knees here and he won't be standing up any time soon because this is how he manipulates our hero into doing the deed. Will it happen? Stay tuned.

    Meanwhile, it looks like we have mysterious eyes watching Stan as he explores the ship. Who is he looking for? Whoever it is was responsible for Andrea's emotional outbursts and Stan's power drain. The person has a lot to answer for and we'll be getting that reveal very, very soon.

    At least Sara is back and the Whitefox children are whole once more. They're gonna have to catch her up on everything that happened. And they'll have to find out what happened to their sister. Why does she have black hair now? What's with the gray robe? There's just so many questions! We'll find out the answers soon enough. Stay tuned!

See ya next time!
