Starbolts #749: Wedding Woes

 

Hail!

    The wedding of Crystal and Marcus are just one week away and of course Tess Danar, the former Prime Minister of Aquarius, had to cause a big stink. Did anyone really think he'd change his tune after the queen talked to him? He's always had it in for the Starbolts for a variety of reasons. King Sirak always kept him in check and it ultimately fell on his wife and children to deal with him after his death. He opposed the wedding of Mateo and Aquita and didn't want another Terran to get married in the palace. They were also married in the palace and now it's Crystal and Marcus's turn.

At least this time he has shown the quadrant his true colors. The man is a bigot and I think he's going to have a hard time finding work after this. Aquarius will have a new election and will elect a new and hopefully more progressive Prime Minister. Time will tell. I am hopeful because as we've seen this week Aquan society is very progressive. There are just a few outliers who decide to be jerks.

    As far as Marcus goes, we learned a little bit more about what happened in the three weeks he and Crystal were at the ranch. Demonstorm took away his romantic feelings and he and Crystal had to rebuild those feelings. The physical attraction remained. Everything else needed to be worked on and Speedy had to relearn a few things.

    At least it all worked out. Speedy is better and a wedding is on the horizon. There'll be no more commercial interruptions. Those two WILL be married in the next comic. Crystal will be getting the fairy tale wedding she deserves and they will both find happiness.

    It's a good thing they found out the meaning of the idol before the wedding. I imagine it would have bothered our heroes if they couldn't figure it out. It's also an apt meaning for those two as they've been through a lot. Especially Crystal. She's had to deal with people judging her because of her busty figure. It still upsets her but she's working through it. It's all she can do and at least she has the support of friends and family.

    Anyway, join us here next week for the wedding of the century as Marcus Johnson and Crystal Whitefox finally get married!

See ya then!
