It may seem a little weird that Sciona is bothering to try to talk to the clerk, but 1) She’s low on power, 2) She’s well aware of the existence of supers, and knows enough to know that they can[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Okay, so, we’re all on board that this is Sciona, right? Right. I don’t quite have a Who’s Who for the combined Escorpia/Sciona entity yet. I didn’t want to use panel two with the busted nose for the mugshot. BTW,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Yeah, what did happen to Sciona, and what ever could this page have to do with that other conversation? Hmm. I complain about selective universal translators in shows, yet here I am saying these people are speaking in Spanish, but[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Yeah, Sydney basically forgot that Maxima is a Lt. Colonel and she’s not even a Private yet. She’s just gotten used to being in the know. She found out about Arc-DARK, Dabbler, and aliens within minutes of entering the building,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sydney is concerned about information propagation. One person can keep a secret, but the more people who know it, obviously, the more chances of it slipping out somewhere along the line. She was so concerned with other people getting mind-plundered,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Having your head in the clouds isn’t a criticism, it’s the goal! I know what you’re wondering. In that third panel, Cora is standing in front of part of a fajita station. This party isn’t just the one sad table[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

It’s telling that Cora thinks there’s a chance that this after hours welcome back party might devolve into something else entirely. She’s obviously never had an office job. Or if she did, it was on a planet with very different[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Okay, so, there were some… mixed reactions to the previous page, which I would prefer not to reignite, so I’ll just say that while Dabbler was obviously listening in, her broader range of relationship experiences means she didn’t think anything[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I think it was a fair question, to be honest. Leon maybe could have put it more delicately, but if you’re coming up with a comprehensive list of solutions to Sydney’s conundrum, that question should be asked at some point.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Uh oh. Keeping in mind that Sydney and Krona are two of the most powerful beings on Earth (Krona far more subtlety, granted) this could go down in several ways. The building will probably still be there next page though.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Dabbler’s serious, succubi are actually so disease resistant they can cure some ailments venereally. Virological, bacterial, even some kinds of thaumitological conditions, like certain curses.

Unlike vampires, succubi do not need permission to enter things. The should definitely still get it. It’s just more polite that way. I’m just saying they don’t have any weird hangups about it. Cora is aware that most societies will[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I spent some time thinking about this, and really, Archon would probably wind up paying anyone the least amount possible for time travel incidents. Not because they’re cheap, but when it comes down to it, it’s logical. From Sydney’s point[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

If it wasn’t clear, Sydney is trying to vet Frix. She doesn’t want to put herself in a situation where she does “stuff†with a guy, only to find out he’s a horrible womanizer, or unironically says “escape goat,†or is a racist, or doesn’t like Chris Claremont era X-Men. Not that she’s necessarily had […]

So… yeah. Sydney doesn’t have a furry thing per se. >cough< She’s just been through a lot recently and is maybe realizing that life might be short, so when the cute (?) starship doctor is giving you some pretty clear signals, maybe explore that instead of being too self conscious to try new things.

One of Sydney’s unofficial powers is the ability to turn on a dime, emotionally speaking. She has big reactions and big swings. One might almost describe her as manic. Not manic depressive. Just manic. Not sure if that’s a thing, but it’s Syndey’s thing. I read something like 230 novels last year, (during my morning […]

I thought it would be fun doing a reverse harem setup on Cora’s ship. I mean, why not? Being friends with Dabbler has obviously rubbed off on her. I tried to come up with some varied body and face types for her crew, but one guy is a bit more muscular than the others, and […]

Fracture Station limits what cargo someone can load onto their ship, based on the ship’s home world technology and flight plan, but obviously that doesn’t stop people from flying wherever they like once they take off. The station’s policy is to maintain the technological hierarchical status quo, but ultimately, they don’t really care what you […]

I hadn’t quite planned on Cora’s hard light projector being able to extend that far, because on top of giving her fairly broad disguise and shapeshifting powers, (on top of being a bit of a combat monster already), having an 18′ range on hard light constructs kind of turns her into a mini color accurate […]

So when I thought of Cora, like, I don’t know, 20 years ago, she had cybernetic limbs. She had them up until a few months before I put her in the comic, when I came up with the idea to replace her cybernetics with the hard light stuff. It seemed cool and more futuristic (and […]
