Starbolts #723: Program Error

 

 

Hail!

    This week's comic answers a very old question some people might have had about Tanis, Medea and others and why they look like baseline humans even though they came from another dimension. Medea revealed that their people came from Earth. I'll go into more detail next week.  We just need to let the dust settle a bit here. The people have a long history with Earth and I'd like to give it its proper focus. I guess the dinosaur people weren't the only secret race on Earth. Many more developed and many more are probably still out there. It's a big world.

    Now we know why Tanis was able to break Demonstorm's hold on him way back in Starbolts #16.  Medea changed her son's genetic code so that he'd be more like her people and less evil like his father. Kind of sneaky of her to do this under his nose. Not to mention dangerous. Tanis's heroism comes from his mother and her people. It was the ultimate revenge on a cruel tyrant. Can't say he didn't have it coming.

    As for Heidi? Wow. Medea sure can call it like she sees it. She is not one to shy away from the obvious, is she? Her parents were blissfully ignorant of their daughter's past. I won't go into details. But, she's had more than just Josh as a lover as we've alluded to before. I don't think her parents would've approved of half of them to be honest. "Alien" or not. And now we know Tanis isn't really an alien.

     Oh and speaking of Josh you might be wondering how he was able to see Tanis and Heidi having sex. Well, Tanis's apartment is on the ground floor like I said.  He simply went to his place looking for a fight and saw everything through the bedroom window. Heidi wasn't able to sense Josh as she was focused on Tanis at the time. Josh didn't stick around long and went to the nearest bar to wash away his sorrows.  I didn't show that in the previous comic as that probably would have been not safe for work. At least now he's sleeping it off. We'll see how he feels once he's sober.

    Anyway, the next comic we'll see the origin of Medea's people and how they fit into the whole Demonstorm mess. There may be more going on here than meets the eye. So, do stay tuned!

See ya next time!
