This page shows a number of Council and Faculty members from the scene that started on page 19 - most notably the Council President Mary Gemmas with Ken Spence and Karma Joffe (all former heroes themselves) and, of course, Freya and Tom. In the foreground of the second frame you'll see a few of the members of the premier super team Force Magellan: Vertigo, The Hierophant and Hoodoo, plus a couple of others in the background. More on Force Magellan at some later point! Tomorrow… a late arrival! Thanks for reading and the comments.

I do like comics with interesting looking aliens in 'em.

@jamoecw: that's Tros, an alien from the planet Mlab, and a member of Force Magellan through a kind of cultural exchange. After this chapter finishes in about another two weeks there'll be a short history piece that will briefly look at the aliens (and others) within the Magellanverse... @Abt_Nihil: The Hierophant is one of the major arcana of the tarot, the word derives from the ancient Greek and means "an interpreter of sacred mysteries and arcane principles"... as such The Hierophant of Force Magellan is able to call up the powers of the ancient Greek deities, but only one at a time - kind of a cross between Captain (Shazam) Marvel and Ultra Boy (from Legion of Superheroes). We'll get to see him in action but not for a looooong time! @alschroeder: me too, although I also have a soft spot for the aforementioned Epoch who's currently running a bit late!

Hierophant? Like Hieroglyph and Elephant? :D

i didn't remember the little yellow guy in the second panel, any story on him or is he just eye candy? knowing you he probably is fairly well thought out.

Ahhh, Hoodoo. One of my favorite members of Force Magellan!
