Detla has applied to be on the team, but hasn't completed all the basic training and courses needed for field duty. She's going along but will remain onboard the Osprey for security once the team disembarks, along with Peggy and her copilot. After all, they're dealing with an opposing force of supers, so someone flying aboard the...

These guys really are a liability. He's stretched too thin, but when upper management says they want two guards on every door, the correct response should be "Well now, do you want one guard per door, each of them having an IQ of 97, or do you want two guards per door with IQ's in the mid-to-low 80s?" The problem is that they alr...

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you so inclined! Enjoy your turkey comas.
Honestly, the security here is pretty terrible. Any cell that you can't see into allows for shenanigans. It's known that Zeph isn't a super, so they didn't stick him in one of their purpose built cells that can account for a number of powers that might...

Edit: Okay, I have to cop to it. I straight up forgot that Sydney's glasses auto translate and give her subtitles. I have no excuse for that, but my in-world justification on this page is that there's a half dozen people shouting over each other and the subtitles are racing by too fast for her to keep up with. 2022-11-17 11:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post

I know what you're thinking. "Of Couscous it's Delicious" is barely an acceptable pun in English, and the newscaster was speaking French, being translated into English via closed captioning, and who knows what language the actual food truck's name was in, only it probably had to be in English, because the pun probably wouldn't wo...

I hope this page makes sense to everyone. It seems fairly straightforward to me, but then, I wrote it, so it's hard for me to judge.

As I was drawing this page my white guilt gland made me wonder if making an "African themed" team of superheroines was a tiny bit racist, but even as my "Hmm" gland was chewing on it, my "Duh" gland was like, "Captain America, DUH!"

Looking at this page just before I publish it, I realize that I did a poor job of introducing "Lioness." You can see her in the last panel of the previous page, but the way this page plays out, I could see people thinking that Dabbler had changed into the dark skinned lady in panel 3 and then changed again in panel 6. Panel 7 and...

Sydney didn't read ahead in the script or anything, she just guessed that if a smaller country is going to have some supers passing through, they might have a task or two they could use help with. She didn't consider most places would be fairly prideful and not want to admit they need help with anything, or would at least want to...

Okay, before you're all "I don't think Maxima would tell them to just take the day off," Anvil explains on the next page.
Sydney's smart enough to know that while some of her contributions to the team extend beyond the abilities granted to her by the orbs, she's not at a level where she'd be viable as a field specialist the...

A lot of you more or less guessed the same thing as Dabbler here. Using your weird artifacts with no detectable power source to output massive amounts of energy? Maybe you're draining the batteries or wearing down the capacitors. Or heck, maybe they're overheating? Only the heat is being dumped in some dimensional pocket or whate...

If you're wondering about Sciona (the one on the left) we haven't seen her in a while, but the last time we did, she had possessed a recently murdered hispanic super by the name of Escorpia, and her injuries healed showing blue skin underneath. So this is more or less what she looks like now. But there's a version without the remnant s...

Yup, cleavage of holding. You guys guessed it on the previous page. I mean, really the only possibilities were that or she just had something stuck down her bra like women sometimes do.

So finally we get to the page I decided to delay until after showing Maxima returning to base. You can see why I delayed it, as I'm depicting evening in Galytn now, so it would have looked like Maxima's return trip took a lot longer than it actually did. Galytn is 7 hours ahead of Archon HQ, so Sydney and crew haven't missed out ...

It's probably best to assume that if an enemy goes for you data, they have some expectation of being able to use it. It bugs me in movies and other media when party 2 does a thing, and party 1 reacts in a predictable way, which is the outcome party 2 wanted in the first place. It seems like an obvious pitfall for any agency remot...

Back to the regular coloring for now. I'm probably going to experiment with it over the next few pages.

In defense of whoever comes up with the codenames (or, supranyms) for Galytn supers, they do speak at least eight languages over there (at least they do in Mozambique) and that's before introducing Alar and Chiktr. Presumably English is also spoken, as it is the official language of Malawi, Zambia and Tanzania, which are all neig...

Galytn does have a lot of supers per capita, (Don't worry, we're not going to spend the next 300 pages meeting them all, hah hah.)so putting out a giant fire is going to be less of a challenge for them than it would be for a lot of countries. After all, most of them don't have to bring a 600 gallon tank of water with them over po...

Sydney's reaction here is because her Trope Savvy brain is starting to realize the potential of the Atmorb<sup>TM</sup>. There's still a shitload to learn about it. Can it create just gasses? Can it create any element on the periodic table? Can it create isotopes? It seems to be able to create a mix of gasses, because...
