Grrl Power #976 – Air Master
Max is just having fun with this. It’s not often she gets to cut lose. She can spar with Hiro and Stalwart, and while most supers heal faster than your stock human, they could still wind up being laid out for a couple of weeks if she really lays into them. A guy like Vehemence can heal like Wolverine, so short of knocking his head clean off, he’ll be back in a fight in 1D6 rounds.
Naturally being so busy with the comic and doing the bonus nudie pics and writing T:E 2, I decided to do a 14 panel double page. I tried to make up for it a little as the next page has only three panels, which might be a record for Grrl Power, but the point is, I’m bad at time management.
The monthly nudie pic is almost finished. (see above paragraph) The last one only had a few clothing variants, so I’m doing a few extras for this one. I’ll post it with Monday’s comic at the lastest, but I hope to have it up a little sooner.
Speaking of books, Aether’s Revival 4 is out. This is Daniel Schinhofen’s cultivation series, which is my favorites of his behind Binding Words, which is one of my overall favorite series. Which is just a roundabout way of saying AR is pretty good and maybe check it out if you like books that involve a lot of studying and pill popping.
It’s kind of a weird subgenre if you think about it. It’s so specific. Like, if someone wrote a book where a cyborg had to upload skill programs every night and drink a pint of STP every morning in order to increase his agility… that would technically be a cultivation book, right? Yeah yeah, cultivation is about unlocking or developing your inner spirit or becoming a mage in a very verbose manner, buuuut… the hallmark of cultivation really seems to be the studying and performance enhancers. What about a vampire that drained peasants instead of taking mana pills every night, and drinking blood also taught him new skills from memory absorption? That’d be like a 2 in 1 cultivation sort of.
Tamer: Enhancer 2 – Progress Update:
Did some editing, think I might have the final fight figured out.
August’s vote incentive is up! I know, that thumbnail isn’t so enticing, but I promise, the rest of the picture is worth it.
Nude version is up at Patreon.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
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.
so, uh, how is Vehemence is doing the alpha level instant magical healing that he needed a 50 super rumble to fuel before? Is one kick from Max really worth dozens of supers brawling for 15 minutes? also, does his power require intent? Would a robot carrying out a programmed movement to hit him with a bat worth an annoyed baseball player hitting him with the same force? How about someone who isn’t as strong or as good with a bat doing their best to murder him, but delivering less actual force with the blow?
I think it was more that he was keeping his regeneration as an ace up his sleeve for most of his first fight. He could have done it earlier, but that would have been revealing a trump card early.
Vehemence’s statement from the first fight implies his regeneration is not tied to his vehemency. It’s just a second power he has for recovering from severe injuries.
I think you might have got your wires crossed. Quick rundown on how his powers work. Magic: vistric user. Gains power from violence. Doesnt matter about the feeling of the person he is leaching this power from. Passive more strength durability and most other stats go up and so far no real drawbacks as long as he has power. You cause damage he gets power from it. His abilities burn his energy supply. Though he can do next to anything as long as he has that power. New pants sure. His regeneration and upgrade are not automatic meaning they cost him energy to heal quickly and correctly. The only automatic part of his powers is that he doesn’t choose what the upgrade to his body is. Can project a costly aura to awaken and somewhat control his surrounding.
His regeneration didnt need the whole parking lot to perform just enough to get on max’s level. As in near base form a gunshot to the eye did a fair ammount of damage. After engaging. Plus he’s been fighting for awhile against various supers. He’s stockpiling power. He’s probably had enough for evolving his power for half the day. Though remember that they are doing this so he can last a whole month without fighting. So it doesn’t help for him to overly spend his power.
Anyone else wanna see what happens if Vehemence and Anvil trade punches? Does Anvil have an upper limit for kinetic absorption? Seems like something she’d wanna test, and Max could help
I’d recommend a more controlled environment for that sort of test.
Max punching with incrementally increasing force.
If she’s like a battery with a finite capacity Max would be there to be punched back if necessary.
It’s already established that it can hurt a bit if she gets hit with too much kinetic energy at once.
Well, as long as she’s not wearing a sports bra.
so powerful she can only be harmed by her own boob jiggle
Love the comic. Keep losing track and coming back, but it’s consistently pretty awesome. Also, love the little Star Trek quote, nearly missed it!
Okay, can someone point out this ‘so-called’ Star Trek quote? Because can’t see anything specifically Trekkie mentioned on this page (unless you mean ‘sandbagging’ and that was totally brand new for Star Trek)
the quote at the very bottom of the page about 2-dimensional thinking is from wrath of khan
under the comic. Next to the copywrite symbol.
Thank you, was looking in the actual comic :(
