Starbolts #434: Two Years in the Making

Hail!

Well, this was going to happen eventually! Firaxil and Sara are headed to the chapel of love! And what a wedding it will be! It'll be coming your way for Starbolts #450, We have some time before then. So, look for some drama. Not with our newly engaged couple here. No, no. Something else is cooking down the road. This is a brief respite before the next round of crazy comes.

This week's comic sees a bit of genealogy involved here. Makes sense. How else would Sara get records of Firaxil's ancestors. Especially the direct ones. Chances are really good that he is going to cherish that picture of his deceased parents. Who wouldn't?

It was a long time coming for these two. So, that makes what? Two Starbolts couples married. A few are dating and we have this newly engaged couple. Crystal was right. The team is pairing off like crazy. Well, that's what happens when you have a bunch of people who click really well together. It's called life and our heroes do their best to try and have a normal life.

Congrats, Firaxil and Sara! =D

Starbolts #433: Moving Forward

Hail!

Looks like things are moving forward for our heroines, Crystal and Sara. Though, the She-Ra thing is more than likely going to be a one-off thing. I talked to Sam about it and we both agreed that Crystal on her own is pretty formidable. She has razor sharp claws, invisibility and cat-like reflexes. She doesn't need a She-Ra style armor. If anything, that get-up would impede her movements. Still, it might be good for a costume party or something. Right now she's as good as is and that's how Sam and I like her. Will she achieve her true potential? Time will tell. The only reason Marcus didn't transform is because he already achieved his full heroic potential. Crystal will get there some day. If anything, the sword is telling her that she has much more to do.

Sara on the other hand? Well, we have plans for her. I'm not at liberty to say what they are. But, I have a feeling it might be obvious. You don't just take a woman away with you to a romantic spot on a far away planet for kicks. Firaxil is up to something. Next week we'll find out what that something is. Trust me there won't be a dry eye in the house!

See you next time!

Starbolts #432: Sisterly Bonds

Hail!

This week's comic marks the end of one journey and the beginning of another. Sara and Firaxil are on their way to New Inobus. There they will most likely have a fun adventure. Nothing too crazy, I am sure.  Look for another loose end to be tied up over there and the start of something huge.  And it looks like our heroes will be making their way to Earth in the interim. Sounds like a lot is happening for the Starbolts in just a short time.

Of course, like M'anta said, there are other issues to be resolved. There are other threats out there. Right now it's a good idea to let our heroes relish in the moment.  A lot more action is coming.

As far as this week's comic goes, I enjoy the bit I had with the kid, Crystal and Sara. It shows that the former Terra Nova girls are slowly but surely getting respected by the public. They've come a long way from the angry women they were some time ago. They're better people now. Both of them and that scene clinches it. They're both in happy, healthy relationships. Life is finally going in a good direction. I don't think they could ask for anything more.

See you next time!

Movie Thoughts: Avengers Endgame

Starbolts #431: Happy Endings

Hail!

Every once in a while I try to give the Starbolts a happy ending. They deserve it. There's more drama coming, though. Make no mistake about it. For now, though, things have calmed down. Crystal and Sara are allowed to relax after putting an end to this part of Terra Nova. There's more out there and I daresay perhaps this was the worst part.

Still, I wonder what the happy ending Aquita is working on is all about. More on that another time. I would have translated what she was saying in Aquan. However, that would be a spoiler. I'll leave it up to you, the reader, to decide what she's saying. It's something good. That's about all I can tell you at this point.

Still, it looks like everything's going well for the Starbolts. Obviously they can't interrogate Clive. Conflict of interests. They trust the DMA to do their job. We'll most likely be seeing less of that mad scientist! As for Sara and her heart issue, I am confident Aquan science can fix her heart. It did cause the problem. It can solve it. Basically, Clive used Aquan tech which was intended to clone simple tissue like skin or organs to clone something as complex as a human.This was the side effect of using the tech on a Terran. Aquita will solve the problem. Count on it!

See you all next time!

Starbolts #430: Call of the Whitefox

Hail!

It finally happened! Clive has been captured and now the Starbolts can breathe a little easier knowing he'll be locked up. Still, there are a few questions that need to be answered. First. How did Sara get the ability to teleport? Second. What was that beeping noise? We'll find out next comic. For now the Starbolts are relishing in their victory. Clive Marshall has been caught. It seems that for all his bluster, he isn't that good at the supervillain gig. That's why he was behind the scenes. He was never a hands-on mad scientist.

Originally I was going to have the press in the last two panels. But, space was limited. We'll see a few reporters next time. Though, I honestly don't think Jack is going to let Crystal take Clive to the DMA. Not with her history with him. Let's just say it'd be a bumpy ride.

Either way, this comic sees Sara's return as a superhero. The question is what is she going to do with her new abilities. Time will tell! See you next week!

Starbolts #429: Liberty's Daughter

Hail!

Part one of Sara's epic fight with her father, Clive Marshall is here! Watching on the sidelines of course are her adoptive siblings, Jack and Crystal and her boyfriend, Firaxil. Sara seems to be quite outgunned here. However, pay attention to what happened in the last panel! Looks like someone's got powers back. Metahuman abilities can't be taken away permanently. We saw that with Jenna. If you recall, this is probably how she saved herself from Clive's clutches.

This week's comic was fun as I got to make an Iron Man style HUD for Sara. Lightning's all around her and she has Aquita in her ear. Such a dramatic moment. Let's hope she has what it takes to finish Clive once and for all. Gotta love that superhero landing in panel 13. =) Totally played the Avengers theme while working on it.

In other news, I have opened up a sister blog for this site. It's a genealogy blog. If you are interested in the field of genealogy or already are a genealogist, check out the fun over at All Roads Lead to Haverhill. I have a couple entries there and I plan to make many more. I basically go over my adventure in the field of genealogy, offer tips and other fun things. Check it out!

See you next time!!
