I'm trying to move things along here a bit. Don't necessarily need to show every moment of Sydney going through superhero boot.

 Fining Sydney $10K for getting 13 million likes would be a little like fining an oil company $100 million dollars for spilling a jillion tons of ...

Varia in the pool

Xochitl's just hanging out in the pool. 

If she bumps into someone that gestalts her into an ice form while she's waist deep, it takes her forever to get out of the water.

Edit: Replaced the older images with higher-res ones.

In some ways, Sydney is always the main character wherever she goes because she tends to always be the center of the attention. It's not an intentional thing she does, but attempts to wean her into a higher level of self awareness tend to be a temporary solution.

When Peggy says "the course changes" she just means that most of the pop-up targets have either a civvie or bad guy option. The course doesn't rearrange itself. No Shi'ar tech holo-suite danger room for Arc-SWAT quite yet.

I think the most impressive thing about Sydney's time in...

I'm not sure why Sydney didn't know the time limit before she started the course. I guess Peggy wanted a "pure" run, just to see what would happen. Well, now we know. Honestly there are worse things than Sydney erring on the side of caution. 

As far as Peggy snapping at Syd...

Sydney has reigned in her worst instincts, but it's still going to be a long day for her and Peggy. At least Sydney didn't attempt her dive roll with her gun in her hand. She's smart enough... well, she's smart enough to know that's a dumb move without having to worry that Peggy would...

Sydney's training is starting to pick up. I skip over a lot of it, especially the classroom stuff where she's learning the law end of being a superhero. But with her recent improvements to her aim, they want to see what happens when they cut her lose with a loaded gun in a maze full o...

It has been pointed out that Cora and Dabbler are being very careful about technological pollution with the leg, or at least the incubator it's floating in, while at the same time, Cora granted some pretty high tech glasses to Sydney. 

Cora could probably defend that if she...

This is one of those pages where the Grrl-verse kind of got away from me. I hadn't ever intended to grant Peggy a new leg, but... for Cora and her level of technology, it's a trivial fix. They don't want to give her a cybernetic leg, or a hard light one like what Cora has, because tha...

Vote incentive for July

I don't know if it rains that high up, but the way I see it, if there's a cloud above you, then it's possible to get rained on. 

Max never does this without a lot of cloud cover. There are people with very large zoom lenses out there, and people who would pay big bucks for said pictures.

Based on some of the comments, I think some people would have liked to have seen at least one more poker page in order to determine if Sydney is actually good at poker or if she's a disaster. I kind of like leaving it ambiguous, but I think it's fair to say that her skill at the game ...

I guess strip poker is on hold while Sydney plays a few hands. She might have her brain in neutral at the moment, but she'd still probably figure out what they were doing the first time someone sells their boxers for $100 in chips to stay in. I assume that's how strip poker works. I'v...

Archon HQ is a bit like the Olympic Village at times. There's a bunch of super fit people hanging out after hours, and sometimes when the RA/Den Mother is away, sometimes things get sexy. I don't know if the Olympic Villages have any sort of RA's, but there are probably quite a few co...

Vale is by far weirdest character I've come up with, I think. Her powerset is a little confusing, and we've hardly seen her do anything. She seems to be some sort of ectoplasmic... thing, riding around in human shaped exoskeleton?

Lorlara is 100% channeling Drax there in panel 2. I actually can't read that word bubble without hearing it in Dave Bautista's voice.

On the one hand, Deus may well be a great manipulator. On the other hand, someone who yells the phrase "artful subtlety" in the middle of a classy restaurant might not be the best judge of such things.

If Lorlara does win employee of the month with behavior like that, it's going...

It seems Maxima's love affair with Lorlara was short lived.

NSFW - Harem takes a shower

Here is the niptacular version of the vote incentive! Luckily a lot of people are still working from home so click away! 

I'm going to try and be better about updating the vote incentive every month, and also do a NSFW version for patreon. If I can keep it up for a few months I'll probably make it a distinct support tier because... well, I haven't updated any of that stuff since I launched patreon and some of the tiers I haven't kept up with.

Deus doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would engage the services of a dominatrix, but as they say, variety is the raised welt on the backside of life.

So, I've figured out why I like Lorlara so much. It's not that complicated, really. Lorlara is basically Sydney - if Sydn...

I put a little thought into Lorlara's name. It's a bit like Arabic names that recount lineage. For example, Alexander Siddig's full name (Dr. Bashir on DS9) is Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abderrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim El Mahdi. That's fucking tight. I'd love to see him u...
