Grrl Power #1509 – Death starfish vs. pointy rock

by on November 2, 2026 at 5:00 am
Chapter:
Characters:

No, Maxima didn’t yell “KAAAAAAA-LAAAAAAA-KAAAAAA….. UAAAAAA!” when she fired that beam. She also didn’t spend half an episode powering it up. To save you the web search, Kalākaua is another Hawaiian monarch. (It was that name, Liliʻuokalani or Lunalilo)

It turns out that the best way to lose a fight in this comic is to be a pain in the ass to draw. Disastar should have dodged, but I think I spent at least an hour drawing that slightly tilted version of him there in the second panel. I just copied him from the big double spread page, then did a transform on that image to lean him back a little, but of course he just looked like a flat picture that had been lazily transformed in photoshop. The perspective correct depth he had in the original pic was all sheared the wrong way. So I spent a ton of time redrawing a bunch of fiddly details and honestly it’s probably hard to tell on the page here. Less so in the double-sized Patreon version, but still.

To be fair, I had never planned on Disastar being a major factor in this battle, so he was going to go down early on anyway. So let’s say… Orthvye (the Aetholith piloted bioweapon) hamstrung Disastar’s maneuverability with… spinnerets? Yeah, just off panel, there’s a big web stuck to the bottom of Disastar, like a giant Spider-Man swung through.

Here you go, a brand new vote incentive. Featuring the least sexy character in the comic. No, I take that back, Cooter is the least sexy, but don’t expect a pinup of him anytime soon. Or ever. There is a nude version over at Patreon. Note I didn’t say NSFW. She is nude in those picture, and she does identify as female, but it’s… hard to tell. She is a humanoid aberration by D&D terminology, not a mammal. And before you ask, no, I don’t know how many vertebrae she has in her neck.

 

Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.

The site got hacked and is being worked on. Hopefully it’ll all be back to normal in a day or three?

For now you can view new pages at Patreon whether you’re a supporter there or not.

Tamer: Enhancer 2

I wrote another book!

Have a sequel! Wow, almost two years to the day since the first book. Well, still faster than some of the pros, eh? This book is a bit longer, at 210K words. The first book was right around 120K for comparison.

I wanted to do more with the cover, but I’m not going to hold the book hostage because I didn’t get a chance to hide Yxlyn on the cover yet. (Yeah, like 3 people noticed her on the other cover.)

Please let me know what you think! I’m amenable to all constructive feedback and abject praise. Feel free to leave comments here, but please be mindful of spoilers if you do. You can also email me at grrlpowercomic@gmail, which is also probably the best way to let me know about typos. I’ll eventually release updated versions once typo feedback slows and I’m sure most everything’s been found.

Download your format of choice here:

Here’s a quick link to Book 1 since I’m sure some people will ask.

Tamer: King of Dinosaurs is by Michael-Scott Earle. I’ve linked it several times in the past. The first book is free if you’ve never checked it out, but you don’t need to be familiar with Tamer to read my story. But it’s still free and it’s good… so… get it.

Obviously, “Tamer: King of Dinosaurs” is Michael-Scott Earle’s IP and my fan work is by a fan for fans, and certainly not intended to infringe in any way.

For those of you unsure of how to get a .mobi file onto your Kindle or Kindle app on your phone/ipad, the easiest way is to download it, then email it to your kindle email. You can find this on Amazon, under “Your Contents and Devices” you’ll see a list of books you’ve bought through Amazon. Click on “Devices” up at the top and you’ll see a list of kindles and phones etc that have the kindle app installed. Click on the box with the “…” next to each device and you’ll see an email address for it. Just email that address with the .mobi attachment.

Alternatively, I’m sure you could transfer it with dropbox or google drive or whatever poison you use.

December Vote Incentive Posted

This month’s vote incentive guest stars Lana of Spying with Lana. One of my own secret agents, Pixel, is trying to assist, with various levels of success and… nudity. Well, in the Patreon versions. The Vote Incentive will give you a pretty good idea of what might go down.

Check out Spying with Lana. Their current vote incentive features a certain gold-plated glamazon. Also it’s a funny comic with tons of skin.

November Vote Incentive Posted

I thought I would make a separate post for this.

The vote incentive is updated! I started drawing this and honestly had the thought that I might shelve it so I could use this for a plotline setup in the comic itself. The Vallejo Glamor, not the Nude version, obviously. And while I reserve the right to do it at some point in the future, the one thing I learned from drawing this is that those tiny bikinis take a lot more effort than you might think. Sure, in the comic, the art wouldn’t be nearly so fiddly and intricate, but Sydney’s “Coin Mail” is right out, and I can also foresee Maxima’s “Drizzled Metal” bikini just wildly morphing from page to page, not because it’s supposed to me like a clingy T-1000, but because I just think I remember how it looks and don’t bother checking and 5 pages later it looks suspiciously like Princess Leia’s slave bikini. 

Though I will say the TOS Star Trek cloudy pastel backgrounds are a little easier to draw than perspective correct interiors. 

Nude and textless versions over at Patreon.

Some more book recommendations

An Orc at College

I’ve recommended this Liam Lawson series before. I love me some good xenoanthropology, and my favorite thing about this series is the “fish out of water”/”Tarzan in New York” bits where the Orc main character has to figure out all the weird cultural stuff humans (and other races) do.

Well, Book 8 is out, Trorm’s family is coming to visit, and the xenoanthropology spills out onto the front lawn in the form of fistfights and flaming maces, much to the horror of the hand-wringing and probably slightly racist HOA. Mmm mmm! Good stuff!

.

Entangled Fates

A near future, proto-cyberpunk novel. As in, the main character is, through circumstances beyond his control, the first guy with a quantum linked AI in his brain. It’s kind of like he’s got “The Machine” from Person of Interest riding shotgun, only instead of being an enigmatic and vaguely creepy superintelligence, his machine decides it likes the human experience and adopts very anthropomorphic (feminine) qualities right off the bat. Corporations, governments, and organized crime antagonize, and eventually a bunch of ex-military female bodyguards are hired because they blend in better than burly dudes in suits and sunglasses. Yes, it’s a (slow burn) harem, obviously.

.

Savage Ascension

There’s a lot of stories like this one, i.e., displaced hero makes good and grows his household and gets his revenge, partially by living well, but mostly with head chopping. I’m recommending this one because from among the similar books I’ve read recently, I thought this one stood out. I immediately bought the second book when I finished the first, which is a pretty good gauge of a series I think. I have a lot of orphaned Book #1’s in my library. This one is like, Isekai-lite. Instead of being from another world, the MC is a “Savage” from the north, forcibly taken to the “civilized” city where he proves that being a skilled hunter is advantageous in slave arena battles. So, it’s kind of a bummer at first, but then he finds out that if he wins, he gets to pick a wife from an assembly of female combatants, and the ruling class here has a way to combat a blight of infertility sweeping the land, so the MC is like, “I guess I’ll pick up a wife or two before I get my revenge on everyone.” So, yeah. As books of this nature go, I thought it was one of the better ones.

The Lost Fleet: Dauntless by [Jack Campbell]

The Lost Fleet

This series is a little different from most of my recommendations. It’s more akin to the early Honor Harrington books, which I quite liked, for their technical fleet battles. (I’m as surprised as anyone I enjoy that stuff.)

The hook of this series is; Guy wakes up from 100 years in cryosleep to discover 1) The war he was fighting is still going on, 2) Everyone thinks he’s some mythical super-tactician cause he fought in a famous, desperate battle before jumping in his pod. 3) He kind of is, because now, after 100 years of constant war, so many people have died that advanced fleet tactics have been lost as the war chewed up all the old captains and admirals, and most warfare has devolved into “charge forward and hit them harder than they hit you.”

Something I like about this series is that it recognizes that space is stupidly huge, and when a ship that is 10 light minutes away from you does something, it takes ten minutes for you to know about it. Fleet battles held at .1 lightspeed still take hours and hours when fleets start off in distances measured in AU’s.
