Hail!
Happy Halloween! I decided to do things a little differently for this year's Halloween comic, Usually, I would have a Halloween party or the ghosts plaguing Cobra or something. This time I decided to focus on what Crystal might dream about now that she no longer dreams about her abusive ex Cody. She instead dreams of Marcus and honestly that's for the best.
This dream, however, has aspects of her personalities dress up as redheaded supers. The first one is based on Jean Grey aka Phoenix. I was going to use her Dark Phoenix costume. But, I figured that wouldn't work too well. I also like the green suit more than the red one. The second personality wears a costume based on Firestar from the New Warriors. The third is based on the Black Cat. I know she doesn't have red hair. But, I quickly ran out of options. I could have gone with the Black Widow. However, Tasha doesn't really fit Crystal's romantic side as well as Felicia Hardy. I'm just saying. You don't see Tasha flirting with everything with a pulse. So, Felicia clearly is the winner here. Sure she isn't a ginger. But, it works.
Either way it's clear that Terra Nova didn't do neither Crystal or Carter any favors. They had their demons to face and Crystal has been dealing with hers on a subconscious level. Who can say if this event really happened or was in her head? Then again just because something happened in her head, it doesn't mean it wasn't real. Could this whole episode have been brought on by the idol? It's hard to say.
I should note that Crystal and Marcus's holodeck fantasies are obviously their own business. We likely won't see any of them in the comic. Yet, one never knows. Crystal and Marcus created them because she was unsure how to act in a relationship given all the trauma she had to endure. Marcus was new at it, too. So, the programs helped her gain the confidence she needed to pursue her relationship with Marcus and vice versa.
The only thing we know for certain is that Crystal has finally made whole. What will this mean for her story going forward? I'm not sure. But, I think she'll be okay. She's with a man who loves her and is on the mend after years of trauma. She can only go up from here and there's no limit to how far a newly integrated Crystal can go.
See ya next time!
