Grrl Power #40 – Unleash the Filth Kraken!
Is it just me, or does Maxima seem really disinterested in the fact that there’s a bank robbery going on right now? “Hmm, gun, hostag… ooh rolly thing!”
So yeah 12 panels on a page is too much. I really could have cut this page in half and had 2 posts this week. In the future I’ll strive to do that.
Oh and bonking Sydney on the head with a shotgun? Probably not recommended. Unfortunately, being a “hitty” girl may not work out well for her in this situation. Girls can get away with nearly unlimited amounts of punching and playful swipes at their male friends, but against a thug with a gun? Possibly not the best course of action. We’ll have to see how this plays out for her.
This is why you don’t bring a shotgun to a close melee fight….
Agreed
Tell that to the US troops of World War 1. I’m pretty sure they would disagree.
Just noticed that the guy on the floor in panel’s 6 & 7 noticed the cylinder moving
This is mostly non spoiler-y for the new people. But Max really is playing it smart here.
From her point of view, a Blatantly Obviously non Super is being held hostage by 2 gunmen who, with her in the room are 0 threat to anyone Even if they were equipped with Full automatic shot guns, Literally they cant do anything to hurt anyone.
Sydney on the other had, is
A) Obviously NOT a Super
B) that tube is doing something it should not be doing, namely tagging along after Sidney, probably because of her https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RequiredSecondaryPowers
C) Sydney is being a bit too calm right now and is quite blatantly more worried about that tube than anything else including the fact that shes being helo
Right now, Max does not know whats in that tube, or why the tube is doing what its doing,
Right now from Maxes is trying to figure out
1) is it holding an artifact, her new Sexy Fill in the blank posters, or a Pipe bomb.
2) is Sydney actually a Early teen super, Telekinetic, or Magic user of some kind,
3) why is Sid far more worried about the tube than anything else. is she being a Typical Teenager with a slightly messed up set of priority’s, or….is it an artifact granting her powers, or is it something else….Seriously the last thing she wants is for the kid to suddenly get the tube, open it, and suddenly ….
This is why you should be required to take self-defence classes in high-school. She could have incapacitated him twenty seconds ago by elbowing him in the kidney. =(
Jubilex? Someone’s been playing a little D&D in addition to her supers games.
Does Max’s “CLOMP, CLOMP” indicate a touch of density increase to go along with the metallic complexion?
No, just me trying to indicate movement without having to actually draw it.
You know, rereading these, I just realized that the ‘gunman’ here is freaking out a bit because ‘gold beams’ would be VERY bad and he knows it. :)
;) well that too, or at least hes should be!
Oh God that look in panel 9… what is it the commercials say? PRICELESS!

I’d go for a floppy cock flavoured potato chip just to be able to regale my grandkids with the story at the best (worst) opportunity.
Reading this a second time is interesting.
Maxima probably has an idea as to what’s going on, and may have already spotted who one of the gunman realy is. She has no clue as to who Sydney is, she may not be sure the gut holding Sid was faking his reaction, and yet the Hostage is more worried about Max knowing something is up with tube than the fact she is being held hostage…
Wow. Sounds kinda like me. Pain makes me seriously pissed off.
“Unleash the filth Kraken” is my new favorite phrase”
I still always wonder how differently this comic would have turned out if Sydney held on to Tubey and accidentally vaporized the front half of the building.
That would have been a PR disaster.
Jubelix is the demon lord of ooze. not a swear.
