Grrl Power #916 - Bad faith

Marc Vun Kannon

Incapacitated, and alive for questioning.

Maltec

maybe through back of calf into and through foot, lots of muscle damage and very hobbling but nothing they cant fix later

Andreas M. Sørensen

Wait....she stabbed from behind.....did she impale her through her achilleas tendon?! ah ah nnnnooooo, why did I make myself think about that!! *shudders*

Joseph Bonnar

Max might just do that.

Eric Loken

If Max is willing to create a very large molten crater in Times Square, this could be over quickly... if messily.

Jeremy Mullin

Well I’ll be damned... a smart intended-to-be-expendable villain. But ruled by her ego, as I’m guessing she doesn’t know who’s REALLY in charge.

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

I'm assuming that, via trickery, Henchwench had *herself* made manager of the LLC? I also agree that the Sydney/Dabbler convo needs to be worked into the comic ASAP. ^_^

Foradain

As a longtime D&D player, I'm thinking that while Sydney knows the major difference between demons and devils (at least in D&D) is that devils are lawful and demons aren't, she probably has problems with telling them apart on sight in the universe she lives in.

Bowoodstock

So basically, what we see here is very similar to the moment between Maxima and Vehemence, though she clearly took Vehemence a lot more seriously. That *sigh*? That's maxima deciding "Alright. I'm done asking (relatively) nicely", which I imagine will be followed by a very short conversation about the manager ratifying the end of contract while she still has the life force to do so.

akrasia

A truly heinous LLC manager would also require her approval to quit the contract, or face ruinous cancellation penalties. Also, binding arbitration with the arbiter chosen by the LLC manager.

Teeth lost earlier in previous fight scene: https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-906-lesmad/ Parts of this one where she has all teeth are the flashback to the contract signing day.

Richard du Maine

I like how shishkabobbing her foot made henchwench lose 2 teeth...

Bubbaclaw

The thumbnail made it look like Max gave her a wedgie. She stabbed her in the foot?

Stephen Gilberg

This comic has a habit of giving women uncannily large mouths.

Stephen Gilberg

So whenever certain clothing comes off, so do the gloves?

Richard Riley

Does anyone else think that Max in panel 9 looks a bit too Pouty Teenager?

Tim

When in doubt, stab in foot. I like her style.

Enigma42

I think Max stabbed wenchs achilles tendon

Town Crier

Tolja that Max needed to pass the bar before she could do any rules-lawyering. In our RPG's, it was usually a yummy dessert bar, but re-bar is quite acceptable.

Nick Hodgson

Check the angle, or is it ankle?

So, I actually enjoyed the Sydney and Dabbler conversation almost as much as the comic! I'd love to see that on a future page.

Levi Whitney

That's a flashback.

Dan Jones

Is one of her powers a very short term ability to regrow teeth?

Thomas Dorner

Looks like Max found her Achilles' heel ... ;-)

Andrew

Max’s shirt got given a boob window. The gloves are off.

akrasia

Evil contract or not, read the fine print.

Justaguy

I suppose they could just quit the LLC themselves and thus remove their particular power from it. Also this does seem to say that concreta was one of her actual hirers, not a hostage.

Michael Obert

Legal powers . . . almost as dangerous as political powers, but far more tricksy.

Stan

Don't see the last three panels, might be my eyes. Max breaks off some re-bar and????

Martin Drkoš

What did Max do? Stab her leg? Also who's mask lady?

martin leske

should have cut of more from the last picture so some could fantasize where she put the shish from the kebab

Damaged

Those eyes in the third panel remind me of Takahashi's work so much. Keep it up!
