The roots of this scene, emotionally speaking, can be found right at the tail end of Chapter 17. Man, we are so excited to finally be doing this chapter. These events have been planned for a long, long time…

I don’t know what it is, but that second panel is something particularly special. The hair whipping about, the angle on Dark Maiden’s face, the energies swirling around her…there’s a whole energy there. Other than that, there’s nothing good happening here. Look for Spy Gal’s unexpected response next week. See you on Tuesday with 870 [...]

I think the position is defensible here, even if the math is all wrong. Dark Maiden is talking about, what, a dozen deaths? As opposed to the billions who live on the Earth? Maybe it’s Spy Gal’s math that’s all wrong?

Status quo change for Star Maiden? Yeah, you might say that. But, what is this Star Maiden even like? You’ll find out soon… See you on Thursday with 875 – Much More Impressive!

It only took us 880 episodes, but you FINALLY get to meet the real Star Maiden. At least, the real Star Maiden in old age. She seems nice! See you on Thursday with 881 – Minutes Away!

Someone on Webtoon commented that there’s no way we’d bring the true Star Maiden back only to kill her off immediately. Uh… See you on Tuesday with 882 – Says You!

I hope everyone is enjoying this action-heavy chapter because the one little tidbit I’ll let slip about the NEXT chapter is that is that it is a radical shift from what we’re doing here. Expect not so much of the punchy-punchy and the slammy-slammy. Which is not the same as saying the next chapter will [...]

SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON Swifty did not start out as a character I particularly liked. I know that’s a strange thing to say. Generally speaking, as a creator, you’re supposed to like all your characters. But Swifty was invented to express a cranky side of being old that I don’t much admire. Slowly, over time, [...]

CLICK HERE to SUPPORT THE SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON For those who don’t remember (and thanks to hiatuses, you might not), the Guthrie is designed to eliminate anyone whose DNA signature matches the set parameters. At the beginning of this chapter, Dr. Rocket tuned the Guthrie to the DNA of all Earth-Avalonians. Which means, yes, this [...]

SUPPORT THE SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON An episode like this is such a tricky one–it’s both silent and showing something out of the ordinay–but Marc renders it beautifully. Look at those colors! By the way, you can see more of Marc’s tremendous color work in the just-released-this-week Steve L. McEvil, featuring art and writing by Lucas [...]

How long has that last panel been coming, huh? Over a decade, at least. I just recently started prepping the digital (and eventual print) edition of this chapter and these sequences just sing on the page. So, so beautiful. Marc has really stretched himself this chapter, particularly with the colors, and I can’t wait for [...]

Love ‘em and leave ‘em. That’s Star Maiden’s motto. Maybe not. But my goodness I love everything about what Marc is doing here. Beyond epic. I can feel the Michael Bay in this one. See you on Tuesday with 897 – Streaking Past!
