As many of you guessed, Star Maiden is not quite dead… yet. I mean, we all die, right? Even fictional characters die. I mean, look at Superman! He died. Even stayed that way for a whole 3 months! I mean, wow! And Batman–he died a couple years ago. He’s back now and I’m sure he’ll [...]

Today marks the 15th Anniversary of my father’s death. This is insane because I was 19-years-old when he died. (I’ll wait while you do the math.) I’m fast approaching a time when it will be longer since he’s been gone than the time I had with him. And yet, in a lot of ways, it [...]

Oh, Star Maiden. What happened? I find the different interpretations of who exactly Dark Maiden is in relation to Star Maiden really fascinating. There seems to be some disagreement, which surprises me. But that? That’s a real death. Don’t forget to tip the artist! Click on the Money Man picture below the strip to donate [...]

This page is a story that was hinted at a loooooong time ago. Now that you’ve finally seen, what do you think? Big thanks to artist Marjorie Rishel for the epic rendering of a tough scene. Sometimes, things get in your head and you’ve got to get them out. This week, it was an allegory [...]

Goodbye, Healer. We’ll miss you so. Why, it seems like only yesterday that you first came to Valhalla to cause your very specific manner of mischief. And then–you ascended! A spot at the table in the Great Hall of the Society of Heroes. And now, dead. Your superhero career was short lived… just like you. [...]

Marc went with a very-different-than-normal approach to this strip and it works like gangbusters. (Which is an expression I’ve never really understood. If gangbusters work so well, why do don’t we have less gangs?) Fairly big shakeup today. And you thought Monday’s strip was big. Only two strips left in this chapter! Come back for [...]

Hey everybody, we’re back! I don’t know about you, but I had an absolutely amazing Christmas and New Year’s. There was just something about the season this time around. We got into the spirit of things, reached out to others, sang songs, etc. It was like the last 5 minutes of It’s A Wonderful Life [...]

You guys are really digging into the final strips of this chapter and I could not love that more. In the end, the most immediate and important reaction to the previous strip is, of course, Dark Maiden’s. And here you go. Her unique psychosis (she’s manifested three unique personalities so far–normal, evil and crazy) makes [...]

THIS IS IT! The penultimate strip of Chapter 17: Invasion, Pt. 4 – The End of Lies. This would actually make for a pretty great ending all by itself. Marc was good enough to think up and add the extra beat of Dark Maiden falling to her knees and it just makes this scene just [...]

Everything I said about how great Marc art was on theĀ previous stripĀ carries over here. This is the kind of stuff that makes what I was doing in the first few chapters a joke. You should get a better sense of Swifty’s perspective from today’s strip. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t really know [...]

I daresay Marc has outdone himself with this one. I think it’s among the very best work he’s ever done, and it’s on a strip I know for a fact was incredibly difficult for him to draw. We’re both fathers to girls and this is a tough one. BRIEF HIATUS We’re in the home stretch [...]
