Starbolts #685: The Lady in Red

Trigger warning: This comic contains a complete and utter sexist pig!

 Hail!

    WOW! Do I have thoughts about this week's comic. It's clear that Sebastian Edwards is a sexist creep with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. What's funny is that now he's in way over his head. Guys like him eventually do get a reckoning in one form or another. In this case, our friend here has met an Inobe brick wall with no qualms about sending him into the heart of a collapsing star. If he wasn't a good guy, Firaxil would have done just that. I don't think anyone would have felt sorry for him.

    I was a bit reluctant to write the dialog like I did as I don't enjoy writing creeps. But, I did have to get the point across and I wanted Sebastian to be the creepy son of a rich land developer. Crystal has had to deal with men like him outside the team and now that she's a lot older and wiser she is better equipped to handle the creeps who like her just because nature was very kind to her. Her mother is right. If she is to be Lady Liberty she has to face her fears and this unfortunately include guys like Sebastian Edwards.

    At least Firaxil was on hand to help with the mission. I bet if Marcus was there he'd have had the same reaction he had at dinner. Even though he is a bit smaller than the spaceman when he's in his "Hulk" form, Marcus can find a way to be intimidating. His quick wit more than makes up for the sheer force his friend Firaxil has in abundance.

    Marcus and Crystal still have their big anniversary to celebrate. So, look forward to a romantic payoff next week. The question is did she manage to convince Carter to take Firaxil out, too. I mean it's his anniversary, too! They were both liberated from Camp Arronfeld at the same time. So, he has just a big reason to celebrate as Crystal. He should enjoy himself every once in a while. We'll see if he takes that offer. We know Marcus and Crystal will have a good night. Stay tuned for part two of this interrogation!

See ya next time!
