Starbolts #638: Liberty’s Children

Trigger Warning: Mention of rape in this week’s comic. If you or anyone you know has been sexually assaulted, please seek out someone who can help you.

 Hail!

    When I said that there was going to be an epic confrontation this week, I was not lying! First up we have Crystal scarring the holy hell out of Ruby. She’ll be needing to wear that mask all the time now. The cuts that were inflicted on her were the same ones that Crystal used on Cody. They were magic-based and because of that the cuts will become scars that will never heal. What’s worse is that they will likely burn on her face for as long as she draws breath. Now that’s a curse I can get behind!

    Did she deserve it? Umm….I’m going to say “yes”. Yes, she did deserve it. I mean she was jealous of Lady Liberty and took it out on her daughter. She hired a man who she KNEW would sexually assault a minor (She was 13 at the time.). She tortured Firaxil. She had her “husband” killed. The list of charges go on and on. Ruby Arronfeld was not a nice lady. Mother Theresa, she ain’t.

     I told everyone that Crystal was not going to take the whole hiring Cody thing lightly. Our heroine reacted the only way she could. With dark magic and rage. There was only one solution there. I don’t think they were going to talk about their issues.

    At least she is likely to spend the rest of her days in prison for what she did. Crystal has no remorese. But, I wonder what Sara meant by “she can never kill her or anyone”. Something must be up. She must know something we don’t know.

    Still, it’s good to see Sara is back and is rocking that raven-colored hair. Firaxil is definitely going to like his wife’s new look. We’ll find out what happened in the next few comics. For now we have some more pressing matters.

    What is Jack going to do about Snake? Is he going to let him live or die? That remains to be seen. The guy is literally on his knees here and he won’t be standing up any time soon because this is how he manipulates our hero into doing the deed. Will it happen? Stay tuned.

    Meanwhile, it looks like we have mysterious eyes watching Stan as he explores the ship. Who is he looking for? Whoever it is was responsible for Andrea’s emotional outbursts and Stan’s power drain. The person has a lot to answer for and we’ll be getting that reveal very, very soon.

    At least Sara is back and the Whitefox children are whole once more. They’re gonna have to catch her up on everything that happened. And they’ll have to find out what happened to their sister. Why does she have black hair now? What’s with the gray robe? There’s just so many questions! We’ll find out the answers soon enough. Stay tuned!

See ya next time!

Starbolts #637: Taking Care of Business

Hail!

Wow! This week we’re heading into two epic confrontations happening at once. In one area of the Gaea we have Jack squaring off against his former friend, Richard. In another area, we have Crystal and Andrea facing Ruby. The latter may seem like a mismatch. But, wait until you see what happens. The playing field will be evened out and someone’s going to be walking out of that battle a different person. I’m not going to say who. Just wait and see what happens next!

As far as Jack goes, that was one cheesy one-liner from him. Eh, it’s to be expected. He’s trying to diffuse the tension by cracking small jokes. I originally was going to have the tome of the Skymother roasted. Then I remembered that it’s Dovianni property. I would think they would like to have that book back intact, don’t ya think? Yeah, I’d think so!

It seems that Val has a lot to work through, though. However, I think Crystal is right here. For all of Sola’s faults, she did take care of Valentina when she needed it. She was there for her and helped her through some serious stuff she had to deal with while under Terra Nova’s “tender loving care”. So, perhaps she has a point. Perhaps something of Sara was in Sola when she helped her. They were good friends before their relationship.

The problem is that Simon still thinks of Sara as Sola and that might drive a wedge in their relationship. Let’s hope that when she comes back she’ll be able to straighten out that boy. Valentina loves Simon and he has to realize that before it’s too late. After all he was the one who really helped her get over the crush she had on Crystal. That and seeing Crystal with Marcus probably helped.

That is quite a lot of drama! Look for more on that in the future. Right now we have some epic battles to go through!

See ya next time!

Starbolts #636: Parental Disapproval

Hail!

Looks like the Kyodon part of the arc is finally over now that the giant turtle understands humanity a bit more. I didn’t want to delve too much into it as I’m sure everyone’s heard that story before. Sufficed it to say, Kyodon learned what was good about humanity. Ironically, it all came from Elisabeth’s daughter, Ellie. Man, those two have got to put the dys in dysfunctional, huh? I don’t think there’s any love lost between mother and daughter here. Well, it’s a sad state of affairs. I don’t think there’s any coming back from where they are. At least Ellie has other moms in her corner. So what if her birth mom is a self-hating nutcase.

Gotta love how the Inobe escaping took the form of several alien creatures. Something tells me they’ve never been to Earth before. So, they are bound to stick out like a sore thumb. More action is coming your way as our heroes take care of some unfinished business!

See ya next time!

Starbolts #635: The Great Escape

Hail!

It looks like Yeena was successful in her mission to free the Agents of S.T.A.R.. However, there is an uphill battle as Richard mentioned in the comic. I think Earth’s mightiest will be able to take on the baddies from that prison, don’t you? Of course they’ll likely be joined by the Starbolts in mere moments. So, things are looking good for our heroes. Ah, but don’t forget that the story isn’t over, yet. We’ve still got a few confrontations left to go through and there’s still that matter of the ghosts and that mysterious passenger to deal with. There’s still more coming so stay tuned!

Gregorio being used as a battery is rather barbaric I will admit. Picture him being sapped of his power, allowed to recharge a little bit at a time and then sapped again. It really is torture. It’s going to take some time for him to recover. Let’s hope that Firaxil and Richie do not meet up with the person who devised such a deadly device. Poor guy. At least he’s on the mend.

I will admit that I like the last couple panels of this week’s comic. While we didn’t see the entire conversation between Kyodon and Ellie, we do have an idea of what they discussed. We’ll delve into more of that next time. I think it’s safe to say that Ellie and her mother are going to have words. VERY strong words.

So much is going to happen in the next few comics. I hope you all enjoy the ride! The best is yet to come!

See ya next time!

Starbolts #634: Disorder in the Court

Hail!




Some people just don’t know when to back away from a potential crisis. When a giant monster is stomping around your town, you should probably keep your distance. Makes sense, right? And it’s not like there has never been a crisis IN the city. There have been several! Well, this incident was recorded and it caught Elisabeth’s attention to the point that she had her Aquan friend pilot the ship toward her daughter’s location. Make no mistake. Elisabeth isn’t doing this out of motherly concern for Ellie’s well-being. No, this is more about how the family might look. There is no altruism here.

Elisabeth was more concerned about hosting a kangaroo court for the Agents and even then that has a fair bit of courtroom drama. Snake is clearly unhinged here. If he had the opportunity, he’d gleefully kill the Whitefoxes without a second thought. Though, would Stan have been able to stop the bullets? His powers have been weakened. So, it’s hard to say if he could have stopped it in time. I think at this point Snake may be at the point of no return. There is clearly nothing redeeming him.

Meanwhile, Yeena and Pegasus have made their way to the Gaea. Our Aquan friend is more than willing to take some risks given the circumstances. Can you blame her? She’s a telepath and she along with her children can sense the emotions of others around her. She knows the Starbolts are a bit antsy at the moment. Will she be able to save them? We’ll see!

More action is coming soon! Stay tuned!For more Starbolts action, check out: http://starbolts.blogspot.comFollow me on social media: https://linktr.ee/cferra1227

Starbolts #633: Kyodon Against Humanity

 Hail!

    Looks like Kyodon and Ellie are about to engage in a very deep conversation about life, the universe and everything. Will she be able to convince the giant turtle to cease her rampage? Let’s hope so. Let’s also hope that Ellie’s anger toward her mother doesn’t get the better of her. Sure she has every right in the world to be a LITTLE mad at her. However, there is a mission to complete. Though, it would help if humans didn’t interrupt the action with their silly helicopters. 

    As alluded to way back in Starbolts #611,  Eleanor is indeed in a romantic relationship with one of the techies that work around the academy and Watchtower. Her name is Tricia and they’ve been going out for a while. How they’ve managed to keep it a secret is a bit of a mystery. Then again it’s not like the telepaths are going to pry into the brains of those around them. That’s an invasion of privacy. Still, I think her friends would be most happy she’s in a relationship with someone who clearly cares for her. Will it be enough to convince Kyodon to stop her rampage? Time will tell, my friends. Time will tell.

 In the mean time, the scene is set. The players are ready. Let’s see if Ellie can dance!

Starbolts #632: To Fight a Giant Turtle

 Hail!

    This week the Starbolts are gearing up to fight a giant fire-breathing space turtle. How do you even fight something like that? Angela tried talking to her back in Starbolts #290 and successfully quelled her rampage. Since her powers have been diminished, I don’t think the same trick can work a second time. So, the Starbolts had to come up with an alternative lest their city becomes a parking lot.

   The call went out to the young and innocent among the Starbolts. They are the ones who could potentially stop Kyodon before she causes too much property damage. It’s a good thing Crystal and Jack went to see the mayor before the turtle arrived. After what happened in Starbolts #618, can you really blame them for taking action here to prevent a crisis? No, no you really can’t!

 I really like how Yeena is stepping up to the plate in this story because she’s basically one of the only few Agents who haven’t been kidnapped. It falls on her to advise the Starbolts in these matters. However, it looks like the former queen is about to take matters into her own hands with the help of Pegasus. Will they be able to find the Agents? Let’s hope so!

Oh and I should point out that the coordinates I put in the comic is a real world location. It’s not an island. It’s actually open ocean about three hundred miles from Kiribati. Thank you, Google Earth!!

See ya next time as we’ll see if Yeena and Pegasus can find the Agents of S.T.A.R. AND if Ellie and Richie can stop Kyodon before it’s too late.

Starbolts #631: Teenager in Crisis

Hail!

    Kyodon is about to make landfall in the city and the Starbolts have to prepare for her arrival. How will they stop her? She has already judged M’anta, Shrall and Aquita for not leaving when they could. So, it looks like the beast may be out for their blood. Things are looking bleak for our heroes. How will they stop her?

    Well, the answer may come from an unlikely source. I’m not going to spoil anything right away. However, the clues are in the conversation Yeena had with Ellie. It looks like Yeena is two for two in this storyline when it comes to dealing with characters who have a traumatic past. If you recall Crystal had a similar talk with her royal highness back in Starbolts #622. Yeena is pretty good with the advice and it looks like we got some insight into what motivates Kyodon.

    It seems that the giant turtle is like a genie. She has to obey whoever is controlling her and so far no one has been able to do it. I imagine Shrall and co were trying to free her from the bonds ever since she was first released. What would it take to FINALLY free her of the control of others? Something’s gotta help her and I’m sure Kyodon would be quite relieved to finally be free after so many centuries of doing the bidding of various ne’er do wells. Time will tell.

 Ellie’s reaction to everything is pretty well justified. Can’t blame her for not being a fan of her mother right now. I’m pretty sure those two will have a LOT to talk about soon.

So much more drama is coming up. Stay tuned, true believers!

See ya next time!
