Hoodoo makes pretty short work of (robot) Sista Superior - this sequence was written to introduce you to Hoodoo (or reintroduce you, if you've already been reading Magellan). None of this saying spells backwards or fake latin mumbo jumbo… Hoodoo uses the full range of magic and uses it well. For more info on Hoodoo, read it all here.!
So, why Hoodoo? When Al approached me to join Crossoverkill it was pretty much up to me to chose which of the many characters that inhabit the Magellanverse to include. If Al had a personal preference he never mentioned it but anyway I offered up Hoodoo without a second thought. During the “Bad Karma” storyline it was clear she was quickly becoming a fan favorite and I really enjoyed writing for her and drawing her. She's cool, calm, capable and takes no crap. You hear that, bad guys? No crap! Plus, since the end of Bad Karma, I'd designed a kick ass new costume for her and figured this would be a great way to launch it!
Vertigo is another member of Force Magellan, and we're going to meet her and the rest of the team tomorrow as Mindmistress and Energize brief them on the activities of the Doppleganger Gang!
@AzuJOD: yep, she can multi-task!
@al & shastab24: it would certainly have been a different story (or at least unfolded a bit differently) had I offered up another Magellan cast member. As much as I like Go!Anna and Freya/Vybe they never really occurred to me as potential candidates for this. My next suggestion probably would have been Charisma Epoch... I'm sure MM would've LOVED her!
@Neilsama: well I'm certainly a fan of Duckman (Rugrats not so much) but I don't think it's been influential to my style. There's a little bit of Rocco's Moderen Life in there if that helps! :D
Well...capturing Death-Avatars is a mystical activity. At least some of the Doppelganger Gang, like Chant, are mystically-inclined. (But not all---as you'll see, the Gang's pretty diverse.) I thought Hoodoo a good choice, because they're going to NEED a mystic before it's through!
Hoodoo is an interesting choie, for sure. Of any adult character, I would have first thought you would have chosen Go!Anna for a crossover, or maybe Vybe. But Hoodoo is a cool character in her own right, and I can't wait to really getting to know her over the course of Crossoverkill.
I really need to find an artist to get a comic of my own up and possibly get in on crossovers like this. It's getting frustrating in my inability to find anybody.

Hmm, casting three different spells with three different methods; I guess Hoodoo doesn't just subcribe to one spell book.

Stephen's style always reminds me of Klasky Csupo.
