And the first of the winter costumes appears!
This issue is going to be a lot of fun visually, with the snowy backgrounds by Mel and the characters all having winter versions of their costumes, which is what you have to do in a comic like this. There will be other situation-specific costume variations for the characters in the future!

Inside Scoop - December 31, 2018
A new story begins! This episode is primarily focused around "wouldn't it be cool to see the winter versions of people's costumes" and "oh hey, it's winter now so we should do something season-relevant."
Originally, the episode that's happening now was going to be an episode titled Beach Battle, with Winter Warfare happening afterwards, but I decided to switch the order partially because it would make more sense with the season this episode's going to get posted in, and there's a minor ...

Ask the Cast!
It's that time again! Leave a comment asking a question to any member of the Salvadora cast and we'll pick one to be answered after the next episode!

Another Ask the Cast page! I really have a blast writing these. This page had a little bit of dialogue added to it after the script, to boost Gamma Cutie's character a bit. In keeping with the idea of each story in Salvadora being called an episode, we had Gamma Cutie say "we're all out of tape" instead of "time," implying these are being filmed.
In this Ask the Cast, what I wanted to do was answer the question in a sideways way. Obviously, when one asks for the origin story of a buff g...

Sorry for the lack of early accesses lately - Justin's been working through some burnout but we're getting back on track!

And that's a wrap for Vivacious Voodoo! The main goal of this episode was to introduce Loa and establish her own brand of villainy, based around voodoo witch doctor sort of stuff. Now that all of my originally intended characters have been introduced, we can start doing big group episodes, which will be a lot of fun! In fact, the very next episode is going to have a lot of characters bouncing off of each other!

The biggest change in this page was the addition of a panel of Salvadora beginning her punch, which helps the page flow better.
The big takeaway from this page is the establishment of Loa as a designated smug villain, where before she wasn't really considered that. This is all in how Justin drew her, and I think it turned out really good so that smugness is going to be a major component of her personality going forward.

In this page, Salvadora returns to Loa's lair to try and fix her bad luck problem. Loa can pretty easily guess why she's back, and in typical villain fashion, isn't too motivated to help.
I specifically referenced the Shockmaster in the script because when I think of someone clumsily crashing through a wall, I think Shockmaster. For those of you who may not know, the Shockmaster is an infamously bad (in a funny way) pro wrestling segment from the early 90s where a big fat guy in a crappy costu...

There were several changes made to this page, for comedic timing and space purposes. Emma's first line of dialogue was removed for space reasons, and two panels were added. One was an establishing shot, with a nice little touch of rain by Mel, to further underscore Carmen's bad luck. A silent panel was added after Carmen's accident, to add a pause for comedic effect. A "help me" line was also added in the final panel, which makes it funnier.

Carmen's bad luck is infectious!
I'm a big fan of the classic "superhero wears their costume under their civvies at all times" trope, and this page is an homage to that, with Gamma Cutie being revealed to have her costume under her civvies. And I was able to get it out there in a cheesecake sorta way, which is always nice.
