Chapter 4: Bad Karma | 92

xmung on April 26, 2011

Now a quick check in on Tom and the various efforts to try and track down who attacked him. There's a reference here to “Locke Island” - at the time I wrote/drew this page Magellan was going full steam on Graphic Smash and one of its stablemates was Reckless Life (now apparently defunct?) - and the main character's name was Locke, a crim who kind of did good deeds if there was some $$$ in it - so the island where Magellan villans are housed was named after him (sadly none of them ever do any good deeds!). Vlax and Brain Spike are two throw away villain names, but I'd like to include them one day!

Notice that Mary (who, if you need reminding, is the President of the Academic Council and former superhero witch Glamor) seems unaware of her own odd vision experience from the night before - see page 4.38.
Also, when I was working on this story I decided I would use a timestamp rather than “later” to indicate the passage of time as there are many events to happen on this eventful day but the serialised nature of webcomics often makes it hard to realise that a scene which takes several weeks to depict is all happening within in a one or two hour time frame.

Tomorrow… a breakthough.

Thanks for reading and commenting. Be sure to check out Crossoverkill which features Hoodoo from Magellan and a heap of other awesome superhero webcomics…
