Hail!
This week's comic started off simple enough. I was going to have Vasha evaluate the two for their wedding. Things changed at the last minute during the scripting process. I decided to instead change gears and have Medea come in to see if Crystal and Marcus were cured of their bouts with the forces of magical evil.
Way back in Starbolts #372, Crystal was touched by Zarantha's dark magic and had to be cured of her influence by the Green Monster. The Green Monster was this elder creature who lived in the sewers of Boston. Purging Zarantha's influence from Crystal was an important step as it laid the foundation for what came later. Not long after that adventure, it was revealed that she and her sister were void witches. Zarantha saw Crystal's magical potential and tried to exploit it. She also tried to "eat" her, too. That part of the story was revealed in later in Starbolts #693.
Marcus had his own problems. In Sttarbolts #582, Medea helped him purge himself of Demonstorm's possession when he went into the wrong room of a castle and was zapped by Demonstorm. No one blamed him for what happened because it would've happened to anyone anywhere. Marcus needed help and his ex-wife was more than happy to lend a hand.
That brings us to today. Two weeks before their wedding, the two are going to have a checkup of sorts to see if everything's still good. Crystal has been using powerful void magic spells lately and Marcus just needed a general checkup to see if everything was all good. I doubt the checkup will last long as I intend to have the team leave for Aquarius by #745. This is one of the advantages to having Medea administering the checkup.
Speaking of checkups, it looks like Heidi and Tanis's girlfriend Lucy might be the new nurse. I'm trying not to make any Animaniacs references even if Lucy is also blonde like Hello Nurse is from that show.
As for Marcus and Crystal, we'll see what happens with the two next week as they go through a sort of couples' counseling with Medea as the mediator. Things are going to be interesting when Medea is your therapist.
See ya next time!
