Starbolts #698: Mistaken Identities

 

 Hail! 

    It shouldn't come as any surprise that Cobra killed R'ndor's wife. Cobra has a history of killing women and/or stealing their babies. The question is why didn't our new friend tell his daughter what happened to her mother. Well, maybe he did tell her and she didn't want to believe it. Who knows? Maybe Tom tried to tell her he had nothing to do with her mom's death and hat he was different from the man in green. In a sense that's true. He wasn't seen in the battle the Legion had with R'ndor and Ulxana. Poor Hexuba probably doesn't know the whole story.

    I think Crystal will give Hexuba and her father the details next week while Marcus chases after Tom. I don't think he and Hexuba will be getting together any time soon. That relationship went south REAL quickly! I don't think they'll be recovering from that.

    We're getting close to Starbolts #700! It should be a good one as events in this arc have been leading up to it. But, first we need to close the book on Tom for now. See you next time when Marcus and Tom have a showdown!

See ya then!

Starbolts #697: An Interdimensional Incident

   Hail!

    Leave it to Tom to cause an interdimensional incident. That man is a menace on Earth and in the Outlands. Let's hope our heroes can clean up this obvious misunderstanding and do it before he mates with Princess Hexuba. Then again they might not even be compatible. Sure the denizens of the Outlands look humanoid and everything. But, are they physiologically compatible? I'm not sure. I'll have to hammer out the details on that.

    We never had much information about the denizens of the Outlands before and now it's a great time to go into details about the people and their lives. Obviously, they're a monarchy and their king is definitely someone you do not want to mess with. I think he borrowed that sword from Garazo. And maybe the outfit. Either way, the guy has a short fuse and Marcus and Crystal may be in trouble.

    It's interesting to note that R'ndor said the floating island has brought nothing but chaos. I can believe that. Since all the defensive measures protecting the island from intruders has been disabled the natives are free to finally check the place out! I don't think they're going to like what they find! 

    Meanwhile, it seems that Crystal and Carter have become friends with Heather. I wonder what plans they cooked up for Marcus. We'll see it in Starbolts #700. Stay tuned for that!

 We also have M'anta enlisting the aid of Nikki. She'll be helping to bring the organization responsible for toying with the Starbolts down. She won't be joining. But, she will be siding with them on this one goal. Will they succeed? Time will tell. For now it just seems like Marcus and Crystal have their hands full with a guy who looks like a cross between Macho Man Randy Savage and He-Man. This is gonna suck for them.

See ya next time!
