Hail!
You know it's just like Danar to throw a wrench into the works. If you're a longtime reader of the comic, you'll know that Tess Danar has always been a sort of comedic foil for our heroes whenever they visit Aquarius. They visit the palace and he has to be a grump about it. His distrust of Terrans is widely known. In fact, he was very much against the coupling of Aquita and Mateo way back when. I imagine he had a stroke when he found out she was pregnant. He was also against the union of M'anta and Jenna, too. Sufficed it to say Danar is a man of very strong convictions and I think he finally crossed the line here.
The palace is essentially Queen Mother Yeena's home and she decides who can and cannot be married there. It may be time for Aquarius to have a new Prime Minister. They should hold an emergency election once they throw this bum out. We'll be seeing more of him next week. He's not going to go quietly into the night,. It's only a matter of time before he does something even more stupid. That man has some serious problems!
As for the idol, it clearly means different things to different people as I mentioned in the comic. It's all open to interpretation and that's what makes it special. Marcus walking around with it was probably a bad idea like Shrall said. Then again how was he supposed to know? You can't fault him for some cultural faux pas he didn't know about. He just got the idol a little while ago!
If it isn't clear by now, I think for Marcus and Crystal the idol will represent their growth. It took Crystal a long time to get to the point where she is now. Ten years, in fact. Poor Marcus had a thing for her ever since and he was always very patient with her and never fell out of love with her. He also never acted on his hormones even though he was clearly attracted to her.
The Starbolt moms know Marcus and Crystal well. I had a line in there from Yeena that said she was proud of how far those two have come despite everything thrown at them. I think that line will be better served in the wedding comic.
Starbolts #750 is coming fast and it should be a good one. Right now we have to deal with Danar's issue. I think he'll be shown the door. That man crossed the line and there's just some things you don't do in someone else's home. Perhaps it's time to retire Danar and get a new Prime Minister. Maybe the new one will like Leonid opera? We shall see.
See ya next time!
P.S. I liked the glowing effect in the last panel. Perhaps they found the answer they sought before dinner? I think so.
