Hail!
A new year is upon us and this week's comic looks back at a few of the major events that transpired in the comic in 2023. The biggest event was when Kyodon came to Earth and stomped around town for a while. That was just the backdrop for a few other things happening this year. For example, Crystal found out Ruby hired Cody Dillinger to be her bodyguard. That didn't turn out well. We also had a major shakeup within the Order of Korun once an evil witch Karen was removed from office. So much more happened. I was not able to put it all into one comic! So, I stuck with some plot points that'll come into play in 2024.
We will likely check in on Pal'idin's son as he's now stationed on Earth as a member of the New Starbolts. Poor kid lost his parents. He's gonna need all the help he can get.
We will also check in on Ruby. For those of you who are wondering what Medea did this week, I'll explain. Medea basically made her feel all the pain Crystal had felt from being kept apart from her real family to being sexually assaulted by Cody. All the pain hit Ruby at once and that's never going away. Just like those hideous scars on her face.
You have to wonder why Medea is being so kind to Crystal lately. The way I see it. It's because the witch doesn't want Crystal to go through any unhappiness of any kind like she did. Medea sees herself in Crystal in terms of body type and personality. She doesn't want her to go through the pain she went through when she was married to Demonstorm and was forced to do unspeakable things. Santa/Odin called Crystal a "pure soul". We'll be finding out what that means soon enough.
This now leaves Nikki and Cal. I revealed that they were Sola and Rick reborn in Starbolts #652. They'll be playing a role in the soul sword/cleaver arc coming up. For the moment it looks like they're taking on new staff for their perfectly legitimate enterprise. NO SHADY DEALINGS HERE! Yeah, I'm sure they're on the straight and narrow. Remember, they can't be touched by the Starbolts. But, I don't think they'll be all out evil. Nah. I see them as shades of gray. They'll do good things when it suits them. And Nikki already said she doesn't consider herself a Whitefox despite being Carter's clone.
All in all 2023 was a pretty full year for our heroes. Next year is bound to be just as eventful. Stick around because we have a LOT going on. And as far as Tom goes....well, he'll be turning up again like a bad penny. Sometimes people don't know when to quit. See ya in 2024!
