Grrl Power #790 – Anti-aliased
“Some of my best friends are demons. Well, one demon, and… best friend is a bit strong. Friend. Work buddy. Friendly but occasionally sexually antagonistic teammate.”
So Tamatha grew up, obviously aware that she was a ‘monster’ of some sort. She didn’t even know what kind for a while, but the tail narrowed it down. The mentor she mentioned brought her up to speed, but even now she’s concerned that she’s ‘bad’ because she’s a ‘monster.’
Some people were wondering about how sexually immature succubi operate. I think I addressed it in the post accompanying a previous page, but I don’t recall which one. It will be addressed in a next page or two.
Sydney does not have undercover chops. A statement which should surprise no one.

"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.
Remember when Sydney had a very different attitude about demons?
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-104-flail-fu-fail/
That wasn’t so much an attitude about demons as it was a startled fight reflex.
She socked Harem pretty good too.
You meant Dabbler, right?
She’s socked both of them.
I just re-read it,Sydney should’ve said:”Die demon,die!” Along with “Why won’t you die!?!?”
To be fair, that reaction was more that dabbler popped from a person into a giant purple multi armed thingy – not really that she is all hating
She punched Daphne in the nose when they first met, and Daphne made the mistake of demonstrating her ability
That has nothing to do with being a Demon. And 100% with the starteled realisation.
It is a Sydney moment, not a Anti-Demon one.
Sydney moments often involve somebody getting clocked or tongue pulled or whatever this is.
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-79-a-history-of-violence/
But she’s since reprogrammed her startle reflex to be throwing up a shield.
I feel as if everyone’s ignoring that half-frame where Sidney sets her bag (of ORBS!) down behind her, out of her sight. Sure, no one can take them when they’re invisibly connected to her, but it sure feels like foreshadowing. Or why waste the space for that drawing? Something’s going on there, behind her back, very soon . . . Maybe not a purse snatching (or, may BE a snatching–for the comedy value of watching Sidney and Snatcher strech away and slam back together), but possibly a wallet theft?
Panel 7? I think you have it backwards. She’s picking up the bag, not setting it down, hence why she’s holding it in the last two panels.
I think it’s more that the bag was shown to be sitting behind her when she picked it up. So the question remains, why leave artifacts of unbelievable power out of your line of vision? Even bigger question, why do women leave their bags out of sight where any stranger can come up and walk off with it? I agree that this could prove to be a big downfall to the mighty Halo.
We’ve already seen how the strongest known superhero, Maxima, could not move her orbs without Sydney’s permission. (Vehemence is a villain.) The only reason why Sydney’s orbs got moved in the bank is because *Sydney* didn’t pull a full-stop of mental control on the orbs. When Maxima picked up tubey, however, Sydney did NOT want Maxima taking it and opening it, so, Full Stop happened.
Currently, Sydney is in a bar where she knows her purse could get stolen, so she’s got a Full Stop going reflexively in her mind. That purse ain’t goin’ places without her full cooperation. …or rather, the purse might go places, but they’d hafta pull it off/around from the Full Stopped orbs to make off with the handbag itself.
I don’t think its ever been established that they can’t be moved when Sydney doesn’t want them to, it was established that they cannot be moved more than a certain distance from Sydney. And conversely that Sydney can’t move more than that distance away from them. Maxima’s arm stopped dead, not when she picked them up, but when she tried to move them past that distance. Maxima was trying to pull Sydney out by the connection between the orbs (in the tube) and Sydney, but it doesn’t act like a rope that can pull Sydney. Though it did pull the orbs when Sydney moved past the edge (unless something prevented them from moving, in which case she was stopped from moving farther away).
You forgot the Jedi Yoink.
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-67-jedi-yoink/
We don’t know how she did that, she could just as easily zipped out, grabbed them while Maxi was distracted, and zipped back under the ecnalubma
No, that is clearly NOT what happened, she clearly pulled them to her via invisible forces; that is implied / straight up stated in this scene; its the punch line in fact. Hence the Jedi in the house stuff.
That is like seeing a bird land on a branch and insisting the branch rose up under the bird.
It’s been only TRULY established that they cannot be moved a distance FROM Sydney, regardless of whether Sydney wants them to be or not. They are tethered to her.
The tether works regardless of whether they’re ‘sleeping’ or not. This means if it’s in a bag, the purse can’t be stolen without first taking the orbs OUT of the purse. And it’s not entirely clear, when the orbs are not ‘sleeping’ that they can be moved without Sydney’s permission.
When Maxima was moving around Tubey (within the distance of the tether), the orbs were ‘sleeping.’ Although it’s likely they cannot be moved when awake without Sydney’s conscious thought.
I wonder what happens if say, Opal tries to portal one of the orbs. My guess is that the portal works (because Sciona’s did), but orbs would prevent the portal from fully closing.
My guess would be that too. Because as long as the portal is open, it’s still a certain limited distance from Sydney.
The other idea of what could happen would be it can’t get moved beyond the portal surface. But I think the first thing is more likely because we’ve already seen Halo go through a ‘portal’ of sorts.
…this is one of the only proposals so far in this universe that I have absolutely no meaningful clue about from a scientific (fiction) perspective. What wins, nth-tech or superpower? My instinct is the aetherium-capable orbs aren’t going to let a simple one-trick pony pull one over (ha) on them.
I can’t imagine the orbs overriding Opal’s power directly, but perhaps they’d maintain their own wormhole? Or the ‘stranded’ orb would just pop instantly back into position relative to the original reference frame. Or go hurtling back to her side through normal space, with or without avoiding intervening obstacles.
I really, really want some vote incentives with Arclight trying out crazy ideas like this.
beat me to it, yeah pulling a Thor’s hammer, either with a return portal back or hurling through space.
Although perhaps an emergency beacon will be set off and a hidden ability of the orbs shown, like the invisible force binding them together counts as a physical presence as far as teleportation goes so either you can’t teleport the orb by its self without teleporting Sydney or it prevents the portal from closing completely and the orb squeezes back through the portal…possibly a double edged sword causing Sydney to be stuck in that spot till it manages to squeeze through.
That’s scary thought, orb is portalled to the other side of the planet and cut off. Orb proceeds to tunnel through the planet to get back. O.o Then again they can do some insane things, I’ll bet they are designed to open their own portal to get back to the others.
Oh and the Jedi yoink is no different than her ability to move the orbs around at will. She just had them come to her no different than when she hits people with them or puts them in the tube. I don’t think we’ve seen how strong that power is yet though, whether it’s as strong as the tether at max distance or not.
I think the tether is probably the strongest thing. Not sure if her ability to move orbs is as powerful, but probably not. Remember in the ‘code vermillion’ thought, someone is able to have the orbs in a bag and she can’t get to them. While that’s just one of Sydney’s thoughts and didn’t actually happen, we do know that certain things can prevent the orbs from moving – like when they’re locked in a car or Maxima has a boot on the strap, or places a car on it.
We also know that while the orb’s ability to be moved away from Sydney is stronger than even Maxima’s strength level, the lighthook isnt. Sydney actually can be dragged by the lighthook, like she was with Vehemence, and she feels resistance with the lighthook, as Maxima showed during highway repair.
So…. it probably goes like this in terms of strength:
Tether = universal levels of power. Beyond Maxima’s ability to move
Lighthook = 15-16 tons worth of power to move. Well within Maxima’s ability. Easily.
Orb movement on its own = Probably minorly superhuman – enough to break a troll arm, knock out a non-superstrength super, or hurt Dabbler when konking on the head. Can be stopped or moved by a moderately strong super (as far as Sydney believes, at least). Can DEFINITELY be stopped by Maxima with minimal effort (bank – putting her boot on the strap to stop it).
To my mind it’s not ‘Tethered’ but ‘Station Keeping’
The orbs are actively maintaining a set distance/ formation from her (presumably mentaly influenced by her)
They then use their ‘engines’ to keep that distance, even when under external force (ie Maxima).
They can also use their other functions to move Sydney when need be.
Possibly by manipulating the local Higgs field…..just like Thor’s Moljonr….
It’s a sutble difference, but an important one.
Ah no, the reason the orbs moved at the bank is because Sydney was moved. The orbs were just following her.
she was summoning the tube across the floor at first, slowly, which then moved quicker when she was moved. outside the bank she went full on Jedi and commanded them to full stop and return to her hands..
Whichever tries to leave the maximum distance is “dead stopped”, Sydney doesn’t control it. I don’t think the tether is limited by it’s anchor points either, so no dragging one end or the other. Like Alan said, the orbs do seem to automatically follow her explaining why the tube seemed to be dragged. If her powers were so strong to stop maxima willingly, she could have yanked the tube out from under the car wheel.
Sydney stopped because maxima kept the orbs from following > https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-48-the-my-little-pony-ringtone-escape-gambit/
Orbs dead stopped as maxima tries to use it at max range to drag Sydney > https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-66-hero-baiting/
tube stuck under car wheel > https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-61-its-the-one-thing-they-dont-expect/
She wasn’t consciously dragging her balls across the floor, they just happened to be attached to her so naturally followed, which Maxi spotted
Dabbler would have SO much fun with that sentance….. :-)
That’s the whole intent ;P
I wrap my purse straps, around my leg.
Especially since the second to last frame is her showing the orbs to Tamatha.
They were right next to her and within sight while she was facing the bar, she only turned entirely towards Tamatha for the last 20 seconds. Which, in the wrong bar, is probably too long, but it’s not the same as just leaving the bag completely out of sight and forgetting about it.
See now I want Tamatha(Lil Succ) to meet Xuriel(aka Dabbler, the Big Succ.) Though for all we know Xuri is Tammy’s mentor. ^^
Dabbles being someone’s mentor? Now that’s a scary thought!!
I know Xuriel can be a bit impetuous at times, but I don’t see her being irresponsible.
I do not believe that Dabbler would undertake mentoring the equivalent of a Succubus teen until after the Thothogoth situation is resolved one way or another.
I sincerely doubt Dabbler is anyone’s mentor :).
She can teach Demon stuff.
Demons like cookies.
You win this argument.
*shakes a fist*
Tamatha is a cameo/ guest appearance so this mentor is likely from that source and likely remain un named here as a result. Colossal Kaiju combat did the same when they used my character Armadar only mentioning they are the pet of celestial beings but not naming them.
So, this has probably been covered, but how could Sydney see through the veil without holding her truesight orb?
An exception has been written in for her, and IIRC, all of ARC-Swat
Is it just the recruits without clearance? I thought only some knew though May recently have changed with the whole alien blood magic space portal.
If anything, it would probably be Corporals and Above, and even then, only on a Need to Know basis
She’s not excepted because she’s in ARC-SWAT; she’s excepted because she can circumvent the veil anyway.
Yes, what they said ^
Sydney has a fangirl! A demon fangirl!! No way that THIS could POSSIBLY go wrong right?
Go wrong in such hilarious ways :D
Just hope Tammy doesn’t turn into a stalker
Can the veil be used to permanently turn someone invisible?
Great prank idea if you can manage it.
It doesnt turn people invisible. It just is a ‘mass camoflage’ for certain people who are not camoflaged on their own.
i think invisibility would be too risky, which is why they opted for the “nothing to see here, move along” approach; if someone is invisible, and an incident occurs, that will raise major red flags among the muggles
Yeah, less like invisibility and more like ‘obfuscation’ (in case anyone’s ever played Vampire: The Masquerade before).
Plus we’ve already seen the Veil in action from the perspective of humans multiple times, both during the search for Sciona while the Veil was damaged(Hare Apparent, remember?) and how Coot saw all the monsters (Sciona, Wyrmil, etc had signs by them saying ‘What Coot sees’). He didnt see Cthillia as something normal because she’s not a monster, she’s a super (and supers are only partially covered by the Veil), and he didn’t see the vampires as someone else because they already look human.
Is it wrong that I’m not really sexually attracted to Tamatha, but still wanna cuddle her like a kid sister?! She’s so freaking cute!
no that’s actually the CORRECT reaction, i think
Just as long as you don’t attempt to act on your first thoughts
Cuddling strangers, including cute teenagers, can cause you problems with policemen.
Even if you do it like she’s a kid sister.
Unless she is your kid sister – then you may have a different legal problem.
“Ugh, so much time wasted tucking” And bingo I am automatically taken to an episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”. Gee, thanks for that! LOL
We need a list of good superhero book series.
Obviously “Wearing the Cape” is one (what with the crossover).
“Velveteen vs.” (and I wish there was a complete anthology! Sadness there isn’t!)
http://seananmcguire.com/velhome.php
Personal favorites also include
“Superheroes Anonymous” by Lexie Dunne
“Cape High” by R.J Ross
“X-Heroes” by Peter Clines
“The Henchman’s Survival Guide” series by J Bennett
“Night Terror” by Mia Archer
Who else has a list?
Try the Supervillany Saga by Charles Phipps.
Dreadnought and Sovereign by April Daniels are great. :)
Seconding Dreadnought. It’s YA so don’t expect great literature, but it’s well written for YA and has a believable superhero culture as well as going into some detail on the economics of heroing, legalities involved, and so on in between the grievous bodily harm inflicted due to the serious anger management issues the title character has. She takes the “if their arms are broken they can’t shoot at me” approach to being a super and the consequences of that are also explored.
Also, on a much lighter and sillier note, if you’ve got kids or just like light stuff, Please Don’t Tell my Parents I’m a Supervillain is pretty OK. Not great, but a nice light read.
Action Figures by Michael Bailey.
Hero Status by Kristin Brand
Mercedes Lackeys Secret Worlds Chronicle
Indestructibles by Phillion
Please don’t tell my parents…by Richard Roberts
Cassidy Jones by Elise Stokes
Therecare more…
Your top two are on my list.
I’ll look at my kindle when I get home and add the good ones. Oh, but for now off of the top of my head look at Ben White’s Charlotte Powers books and of course Jim Bernheimer’s D-List Supervillain series.
I read Charlotte Powers, the whole series in about a week. I really ate it up, but I never recommended it here because I didn’t like the ending. Really the whole series was way too dark for me, but I wanted to see what happened next.
Yeah, it’s pretty much a post apocalyptic dystopia…
…after the apocalypse in the first book.
I like that the cost is so high to use her powers and yet she could recover her health…if she stopped intervening to save as many people as she can and used her power only for healing herself so she never heals.
That does just add to the feeling of eventual doom though.
Worm by wildbow.
I only found that because of The Zombie Knight Saga. A different kind of super hero book.
Oh come on, nobody has mentioned the Wild Cards books yet?
https://www.wildcardsworld.com/the-books/
The Reckoners series (Steelheart) by Brandon Sanderson (also reommend all his other books really; the Mistborn series isn’t superheroes but it’s close-ish)
And some web-published superhero ones I’ve gotten addicted to:
Curveball
With This Ring (Orange Lantern fanfic) – [warning – TVTropes link because it’s the only easy spot I know with links to the entire story] [warning 2 – updates daily and has a huge archive; the early story laying everything out is a lot of fun]
The Girl In The Box series by Robert J. Crane. I bought the first one just to try it since it was highly ranked in “superhero” novels on Amazon. I just finished reading #36. Obviously, I liked them.
Girl Genius — but I’m just there for the Jagers :P
Worm
I third Worm,and a lot of it’s fanfiction.
Wearing the Cape almost goes without saying, in context of this site. The D-list Supervillain series is also an interesting take on the concept.
It won’t be to everybody’s tastes, but I rather like the Citadel series. Very heavy on the ‘Lawful is not necessarily Good or Nice’, but does an effective job of working with that setting. A large variety of unusual Powers, rather than the repetition or standard sets often seen elsewhere including several, and not just the obvious ones, that are strong contenders for Sydney’s ‘bad powers’ list. It’s been on hiatus for years, unfortunately; I’m not sure when/if the writer intends to get back to it.
How did Sydney make her wig hair move with her emotions.. so much for not having superpowers naturally. She had em.. just the “comic emotive” powers.
Eventually we find out that the orbs are really just made out of glass and it was all Sydney the whole time!
Probably the same way she made her mouth go like that: Rule of Fucking Funny!!
Holy crap that face in the last panel. It’s gonna eat my soul!
As some day it may happen that a series must be found,
I’ve got a little list — I’ve got a little list
Of superhero stories who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!
Unfortunate, it is, that I read Wearing the Cape first. Are there other superhero stories? Obviously! But George sets such a high bar. Of your list, I adore Velveteen Vs. and Mia Archer’s series. I’ve been disappointed by so many others.
Speaking of Marion George Harmon’s Wearing the Cape series, the newest was posted on Halloween. Repercussions. He numbers it 8 in the series, but he doesn’t count Bite Me: Big Easy Nights because Jackie (Artemis) is the protagonist instead of Hope (Astra). It’s really number 9.1, the 0.1 being the short story Omega Night. For my money (which he has collected for Kindle editions AND audiobooks), he should tack Omega Night to the end of Villains, Inc. or make it a preface to Young Sentinels instead of selling it separately. That’s just greedy.
This was supposed to be a reply to MercuryGreen above.
Omega Night was originally in an anthology with other writers superhero short stories.
It was the cream of that crop. I have it, somewhere. In fact, I paid him twice, once for the anthology and once for just the story.
Dang it! I tried to read the second paragraph in patter song and it crashed my brain.
Of course Sydney doesn’t have any chops: she won’t eat anything with a face :P
Except fish. They’re ugly and delicious.
Fish have faces. :)
Forgot to add the “unless ugly” part :(
Desire to make a punny got the better of me
*patpat* there there. At some point in our lives, we all fall victim to mistakes in the pursuit of puns. It’s just one of the many evils of puns.
How many think the evening will end with Sydney uncorking the balls and doing party tricks with them for the entire room?
The monster discussion reminds me of one of my favorite webtoons, “Modest Medusa”, in this comic http://modestmedusa.com/comic/tiny-little-fishy/
Well, it’s not as if they actually have an important reason to be undercover, just avoiding gawking.
But still, I think even for Sydney that’s prolly a bit much.
While drunk
Welp she just recruited the purple haired version. Only Green and Orange left :)
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-486-post-denouement-loiter/
Supervilliam:-“Well I guess I get to waste the rainbow….”
The classic undercover-ness switcheroo!
A succubus saying “Thank God!” is a bit funny for us Muggles who think angels and demons are on eternally bad terms. I think that was addressed during the vault fiasco or earlier, but a big question remains: when sentient life-forms pray to God in this comic, does any actual god hear them?
Tamatha honestly identifies more as a human than as a demon.
From her dialogue… she doesn’t seem to have been raised as a demon at all. So yeah.
YukiAkuma is Tammy’s creator :D
Ever since she Hatched?
https://mangadex.org/chapter/647709/1
Are you a superhero? You have to tell me if you’re a superhero. That’s the law, man”
+1 forever.
There’s something very off-putting about the art lately, and it’s very strong in this page. The bottom left panel in particular is provoking a strong yikes reaction to me. I think it’s something about the mix of realtively complex shading and rendering meeting cartoonish handling of features.
i totally agree, i think the contrast of the realistic rendering with the more exaggerated expressions and such that end up hitting a jarring uncanny valley point, esp. since those 2 techniques tend to not slot together very easily, speaking from experience
Bottom left is supposed to give that reaction
I feed reasonably confident in assuming that it’s supposed to convey a yikes reaction that Sydney is having, which it effectively does. The problem is that it also provokes a yikes reaction TO Sydney. I doubt that was intended. It’s not that it’s a comedicly exaggerated reaction, but that it starts to break the resemblance to a face at all in the way that the mouth *lifts off* the face in a practically Escherian contortion of space.
That’s what meant: you are supposed to be startled by her being startled
And that happens (mouth ‘lifting off’) quite often in this webic, that and other ‘physically impossible’ actions
So much time wasted Tucking…
I see what you did there….
And yes I wondered if duct tape was involved….as one person told me the only good thing about it was the free self wax job….and she hated wax jobs.
Nope. Monsters are the variety of aliens she has fought. Pity she didn’t mention any of that though it’s classified. It might not count to aliens that know such things exist already.
Vaping is a war crime!
By whom?
*sigh*
Tamatha… it’s the Pew-Pew Orb, for you.
Does the veil also make people forget about this conversation if they happen to hear it?
Can someone just go and yell about demons in a public place, and the veil makes people forget?
The veil makes It appear to be a conversation between nerds.
Sydney’s glasses will look like the bridge is taped together.
Sydney ain’t wearing her glasses
or it doesn’t matter. Two people talking about something that you KNOW isn’t real; you’ll assume they are talking about a game, videogame, tv show, anime, movie, and just not care.
Not like “succubus” isn’t something found in a ton of media in one form or another.
or roleplayers.
Be Cool, hunny bunny! Be Cool!
“Oh wow … I never thought about it like that” wrote every PC author ever.
This “child”must be protected at all costs
So, Sydney. You have a fan. Who is a succubus. Who is …. dunno what equivalent in succubus years, but looks and acts about fourteen.
So just wait for the fanfic to start appearing online, and you don’t even need three guesses to imagine what a fourteen-year-old succubus is going to write. And for starters, every succubus is at least bisexual. Goes with the territory.
Just, you know…. wanna make sure you’re okay with that.
i mean, she already was a fan before she met her in person, who’s to say she hasn’t already written a few
↑This!↑
Man-buns are cool! …I wear a woman-bun, and it once saved my skull from cracking on concrete when I fell unconscious. Everyone has a right to no-skull-cracking, no matter the sex.
So is Tamatha @HALOjrFAN from panel 4 page 299? Her reaction makes me think so. also when more Suzie news?
Mentors do not typically seek out protégés. It is the other way around.
Actually, some mentor’s do go looking for a disciple (or slave)
Especially the sick or aging type. Y’know. The urge to pass on all those skills and knowledge that you’ve accumulated before time and mortality forces you to kick it and it all winds up just lost. That sort of urge. More likely than most to have a final test where you have to kill them to become the ‘true successor’, though, as they know their time isn’t that long, anyway, and a lot would rather go out on top at the hands of a worthy challenger (that they’ve crafted themselves, at at that) than put up with just dwindling and fading away.
Was also thinking of the arsehole types, like Palps: looking for young impressionable idiots that they can corrupt and control
Yeah, her situation with her “mentor” sounds problematic in a couple different ways. As you say, mentors don’t usually seek out their proteges; it’s the other way round. Second, if she has a mentor, she ought to know a thing or three about the legendarily hard-to-break succubus glamours. In fact, she ought to know a thing or three about dimensional travel and be able to make her own way home.
Third, “I used to” is very different from “when I first got here” – and that’s a telling word choice. This kid is likely not to have come here from … wherever it is Succubi normally come from. (I use the word “normally” in some nonstandard fashion, but I trust the reader to infer my intent).
So … this looks like a “lost waif” who has no inkling of her people’s culture, heritage, or powers, stranded here on Earth from since before she can remember (or possibly hatched/born/whatever here) and likely being taken advantage of by some fagin exploiting her nascent, untrained influence on tantric energy for his, her, or its own purposes.
Come on Syd, you’re supposed to be genre savvy! You ought to be picking up on this. At the very least, if you’ve got the slightest suspicion that something ain’t right, introduce the kid to Dabbler! No harm done otherwise (well, no harm except Dabbler….) and if something’s *really* wrong Dabbler’s darn well going to know it!
Earth is her home. Why would she want to leave?
Because Dirt is also home to hyu-mons?
It has her food?
Sweet!
Yeah, the same ‘food’ that will brutalize her if they even suspect what she is
And, unlike vampires, she doesn’t directly feed on them, heck, she doesn’t even have to touch them, so no, they are not her ‘food’
Tamatha absolutely doesn’t consider humans ‘food’, no.
She considers them her people.
In folklore and mythology she has to bang them, which involves touching them.
Dabbler seems to follow that paradigm. When she is mature she should develop the Succubus Glamour and hypnoboobs to avoid brutalization.
No, in both cases you are wrong: Dabbles doesn’t have to be directly involved (remember that scene with Daphne getting banged by SmugD and Dabbles feeding off the reaction felt by the one in the bored-room?)
Not talking about folklore nor mythology, talking about character(s) in this webic
If you have any doubts regarding Tammy, ask her creator, YukiAkuma
No.
I remember Dabbler knowing what was going on (she has porno sense) but that doesn’t correspond to gaining energy.
She said she can absorb it indirectly, but no Succubus wants to do that. There was a comic page, about, same page where Sydney asks if vampires are real.
Sydney forgot something very very important.
Her friends are going thirsty and the bartender hasn’t finished making her drinks it seems.
Soon one of them is gonna come up to ask about that.
Cute girl w/sydney is gonna have an effect on one of them.
will we see young succubi’s eyes dilate as she detects the lust with her porn sense?
Also lots of shots… doesn’t sydney remember what happened last time she was up all night?
PT is gonna suck in the morning.
The only on she was actually there with, is Kronachrome, and we don’t know if Sydney is getting drinks for both or just herself
Dang dude. Worst spy ever. She managed to blow two pieces of cover at once. Blew her cover twice. Its such a mess up that it is hard describe in a grammatically correct fashion.
My thoughts as well – “Wow Sydney, you let your very-common first name slip, so you’re immediately going to unveil all the genitals as fast as possible?! You’re a horrible spy!”
I think Sydney was a little disarmed by Tamatha opening up to her so quickly, as well as feeling bad about giving her a scare by ‘outing’ her, but revealing herself as Halo like that is just dumb.
Yeah.
On the other hand, Scarlett’s there so if a little Vampiric suggestion is needed to make someone forget something it’s available.
Do we know if vamp suggestioning even works on succubae?
Depends on if Tamatha wears contacts.
So, do you think this will be the first time Tamatha asks someone of she can fondle their balls?
Be careful, Syd, This could be a formative moment for her!
And I thought that Olivia wasn’t going to be a fangirl….
I love the look on Tamatha’s face in the last panel!
And now I ship them. WTF WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?! I think the last panel did it…
The open mouths with no teeth that I have been noticing for the last few releases are weird looking.
They aren’t toothless.
If you don’t pull your lips back when you talk then your teeth don’t show.
No one with teeth that large has any grounds to be calling other people monsters.
Do you know the muffin man?
The muffin man?
The Muffin Man!
Yes I know the muffin man, he lives on Drury Lane.
Well, She’s married to the Muffin Man
Odd random thought, but a number of “monsters” could pretend to be supers, what with supers public now. Just not the ones with obvious exploitable weaknesses like a weakness to sunlight, but most fae, succubi, demons, gods (or what pass for one if we are talking god by virtue of elemental or abstract dominion powers), ect…
Like, no I’m not a succubus I have life draining/parasite powers like Rogue from the X-men.
No, I’m not a god of the sea, I just have hydrokinesis, water breathing, and can control marine life; I’m like Aqua Man.
No, I’m not a shadow demon, I just have Umbrakinesis.
ect…
A single monster could pass as a super ; too many of the same group coming out will strain the veil.
Tucking kinda sucks (from experience)
