Starbolts #694: Soul Cleaver Fever

 Hail!

    Finally our heroes have the soul cleaver and Carter plans on using it on Zarantha herself! What kind of an effect will it have on that witch? It's hard to say. I mean Zarantha doesn't exactly have a soul anymore. Theoretically, the knife wouldn't work on her, would it? Well, either way we're going to find out what happens when the "food" fights back. The question is who is going to be the one to stab her with it. Carter? Crystal? Marcus? Jack? These are all good questions to be sure. Next week we'll be seeing the battle and I think there may be a change in personality for Zarantha. She's gotten....umm....hangry.

    This week the Starbolts were introduced to Nikki's girlfriend, Heather. A while back I had her cameo in a comic when she showed up for an interview. She got the job almost immediately and no it wasn't because of her looks. Heather's really smart and Nikki sees that in her. In fact, she and Cal are probably the only ones who see past her beautiful exterior. Heh. Remind you of anyone? 

    I think Heather could possibly be the audience's lens in this comic. She's observing all the weird things going on around her and wondering just what she's gotten herself into. Her boyfriend Cal came back from the dead and isn't a zombie. Her girlfriend Nikki is a clone of a superhero. Things are a little complicated. But, she's handling things really well.

    So, we're marching toward Starbolts #700 and it looks like an epic battle is on the horizon. Will our heroes emerge on top? Let's hope so. It's going to be a challenge to quell the witch's hunger. We'll see what happens next week when Zarantha herself goes under the knife!

See ya next time!
