Hail!
Things are a little steamy this week and there's a very good reason for that! Crystal has been under a lot of stress ever since Ruby broke out of jail back in Starbolts #621. It was only a matter of time before she reached a boiling point. Thankfully, Marcus was on hand to diffuse the situation and earn some serious boyfriend points in the process. He's a good man. He wants to make sure Crystal never feels bad about herself.
It's probably normal for her to feel kind of numb about the whole Arronfeld thing. Think about it. The man was a terrorist who tortured Firaxil, faked his parents deaths and ogled Crystal while she was growing up. In her mind, he was the first in a long line of creepy men lusting after her. She never wanted any of them and now the first man who treated her like a piece of meat has finally met his end. She likely feels numb because she never got a chance to tell him off like she told off Ruby near the end of that Kyodon storyline.
Crystal finally being unchained from the past now means she can move on and along for the journey is her rock, Marcus. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I like writing these two characters because they GET each other. She needs constant positive reinforcement due to the things she had to go through and he recently had to deal with Demonstorm in his head. So, I think they've found a common ground. However, she sometimes sees herself as broken. Marcus made it his mission to prove her wrong.
With that said, next comic is the annual Halloween comic. I'm probably going to keep it lighter in tone as we've had a lot of heavy stuff going on the last few weeks. So, stay tuned!
See ya next time!
P.S. This is probably the best Marcus/Crystal comic I've made so far. I like how this one turned out!
