Max is supposed to be more attractive than I can realistically draw her. Really, all the super women (and men) are, but for Max especially, she's at that "constant problem for her both privately and professionally" level, which also would help a lot with readers understanding her short temper with inappropriate male attention, wh...

Maxima is good at taking hits, but is terrible at getting hit on. You can tell she's actively dreading it in that first panel.
The first and third guy don't really deserve any consideration, IMO, but the second guy? I don't know, he wasn't being actively trite or disrespectful... I think? I personally have zero experience a...

Yes, Maxima can metabolize an incredible amount of alcohol. So much for a low-key start to her evening.
Max has literally never been an adult and looked inconspicuously human. She knows how they're supposed to act, but she's always been the center of attention one way or another. Let's see what happens.
If you had sup...

You know, I think if someone did invent an instant clothes remover, I think women might notice the effect slightly before men did. Granted, it would be a huge difference between the two, but even without large breasts suddenly dropping, swinging or slapping into a new position, bras seem like something you'd immediately notice missing, given that it's the tightness of the band that actually pro...

Max's problem with having a mundane evening is that her car has 700 horsepower and she's used to casually breaking the sound barrier, so yeah, she has a bit of a lead foot. Or whatever her foot is made of. No, she wasn't actually going 165 when she was pulled over, but she was going more than 10 over for sure. Normally a...

I spent about 30 second deciding what kind of car Max has. It had to be something with a fair bit of horsepower, but nothing too froo-froo, so it kind of locked her into muscle cars, and the Shelby GT-500 seemed like a pretty good fit. Considering how often she actually drives it (i.e., from the dealer's lot to the Archon parking...

Max shouted the quiet part. But then, she's the field leader of the U.S.'s Super team, so for all anyone getting lunch there knows, wormholes are a daily occurence. I'm not sure if the glare at the end there is a "I am one of the most dangerous things in our arsenal, so back off!" or an "I outrank you so don't you dare eavesdrop ...

I like the super advanced alien tech being transferred via paper blueprint. It's just an artistic shortcut, really.

Something so ridiculously compact that the actual product is 90% bezel so humanoid scale appendages have s...

To clarify from the prior page, Max isn't necessarily on board with trying to loot Galytn technology from under Deus's nose. But she's in the room with her boss's boss and there are already plans in existence, so she's going along with it in the moment. After all, Briggs said to "devise plans" not necessarily to execute them. You...

I will post an updated version of Sydney's skill web alongside a very near future page, when her recent purchases are actually covered. I just wanted to wrap this scene first.

I am pretty bad about picking skills in RPGs, but I blame this on games these days as much as myself. In most games, if you want to really maximize your damage output, you have to spend a zillion levels buying up these tiny incremental skills, and then luck out with a good unique drop that complements what you were working toward...

The "clothing pressure lines" (I don't know if there's a more succinct term for that) can actually be part of the fun because they make the pictures look a lot more spontaneous, and a lot less like you were hanging out in a terry cloth robe while some lady touches up your makeup and the lighting guy tweaks the position of a few lamps.

It's usually considered a good thing to have a succubus in your friend circles.

Knocking people out in super brawls is usually handled via concussion.
