Grrl Power #177 – One step forward, two steps back
This is what Arianna gets for playing the PR game on expert difficulty. She’s not going to S rank it at this point, but if she can rally a few more times, she might still finish with an A or a B+ if she nails the whammy run… or something else that makes it sound like there’s a PR version of Guitar Hero. God that would be a shit game though wouldn’t it? Sydney cursed on TV! Hit Blue, Red and Green! Maxima threatened a paparazzi, Blue Blue Blue, Blue Red, Blue Red, Yellow Red! Who let a sex tape ‘slip?’ Math? Oh, no one cares about that. Well, some people do, but not in a way that generates bad PR so much. Hold down Blue.
I like to think between panel 1 and 2 as Arianna turned around, there was a split second magic-girl transformation sequence that fixed her hair and everything.
I made a Ground Zero Maxima wallpaper for you guys over at the DA page. I also uploaded a high res version to see if there’s any interest in prints. One option is that you can get puzzles. With all the fire in the background I would imagine that would be a fairly frustrating puzzle… except it’s only 252 pieces and not 5000 or something.
Oh and there’s a new Kid Sensation novel out. It’s one of my favorite superhero series… let’s say top 5 anyway. It’s linked in the Amazon widget on the side too. Here are links to Book 1, Book 2, and a short story in case you feel like going all in.
SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.

By the way, Quavering Masses is also the name of a grunge rock band…
All of her clothes should have burned off. Dang it
This… is actually a valid point.
If you guys would read the earlier comments you would know this has been discussed already. Maxima’s powers, as explained in several of the blog posts, allow her to extend her protection to things like her clothing.
No no no, BoA was saying (hopefully) that her clothes should have burned off (for the golden-sooty smexy embarrassment on global TV), rather than should have (because fire burns clothes and no one reads the comments regarding her personal force field thingy)
No it’s not, try reading some comments before you post stupid ones
This has been discussed to death.
Discussed here meaning people making asumptions, and the rest of us telling them how it is
*and from the back we hear*
“And at what point does the cure become worse than the disease? At what point should we fear the ones meant to protect us? Who watches the watchmen?”
Me
The watchman exist. Now they atleast START helping, instead of standing on the other side
“Would you rather there be no-one protecting you? That can be arranged if you want it so badly.”
Or perhaps, as to not be too cliched….
“How many will have to die in the name of ‘justice’? Tell us, how many graves should we have ready? A neighborhood’s worth? A town? A city? Perhaps even a few nations? Please give us a price tag for the pound of flesh you require so that we can know how many names will need to be written on gilded walls, all of which were lost for such empty and hollow words such as ‘the greater good’.”
Start digging a hole big enough to hold all who challenge Maxima.
Probably about 4′ by 4′ total will do it. There will not be much left to put in the ground after she has kaboomed them.
She doesn’t have any more firepower than the military already has ready with nukes.
Her existing is nothing more than just an extra nuke
More like a Near-Invincible Flying Nuclear Submarine with an unlimited arsenal
We don’t know that yet. Sydne’s shield withstood the attack which means this was tested with Sydney before and from earlier talks of Maxima revelas that it was not her full power.
No, a nuke is very much all-in. Maxima can very definitely do more delicate work than a nuke.
I am not seeing the comic for this day: #177
My browser (and everything else) says the jpg file is corrupted.
I saved this one using a different program than I usually do because I needed to make some last minute edits. I’ve gone back and made those same edits using my usual process, so see if you can load it now.
Thanks, works a champ, now.
Last speech bubble third line:
“supers powered threats”
Perhaps “supers” was changed to “super powered threats” but forgot to remove the s?
Really a minor quibble.
Still there…
Fixed it finally.
Splendid ^_^ thank you!
Seeing you fix a typo months after upload makes me very happy. It means no matter what grammar/spelling nuisance I find, there’s always hope it will be fixed (and a point to pointing it out!).
Dat :3 face
Because clearly a regular knife wouldn’t cut it.
Actually I always thought Quavering Masses would be a good rock band name…
Considering that one later scene with the burning eyes, I would assume that Adrianna’s bedraggled hair is just a touch of artistic license.
