Grrl Power #898 - Throne bound

Doug Northcote

Did you really want Sidney to blow up the moon? Come on now. Seriously? Austin powers quote "Would you miss it??"

Evgeny Sandu

And now I picture it... Sydney throws Concretia into the sky and goes all out on her with hew pew-pew orb. Probably destroying her. DING! «Did I just receive a level up just for her?!» Somewhere in space: what was that shit that has just destroyed our entire moon?

Jared Juetten

ALWAYS TAKE A BATTLE BUDDY!!!

Sidney probably does not want Dabbler creating ANY form of strap-on . . . accessories . . . for the orbs.

Marc Vun Kannon

Have to wonder what those are.

Marc Vun Kannon

Always a pleasant surprise. The best stories have smart heroes and smart villains.

Town Crier

But, alas, not alliteration. *sigh*

Town Crier

BTW, WHERE IS HALO'S BUDDY?!?!! (caps on purpose, because I'm using my officer command voice)

Jeremy

Sidney needs to get some strappy “Phantasm” weapons for the balls. Drills, saws. Blowfish spikes. Dabbler can probably do something low profile enough to keep them accessible.

Sidney does have a way to call for help, still, if she remembers it. There have been changes that the rest of the world doesn't know about.

Dave - One of the things that I really like about your comic is that you allow your characters to fail. It’s a sign of great writing ability to have protagonists fail so that they can learn from it. You often (perhaps always) make those failures so entertaining that it seems completely natural. It’s so smooth that it’s not even a noticeable point unless the reader has other stories where that’s more of a problem. Which is why I chose now to point it out. This page was excellently done from a writing perspective. It also shows that villains are not stupid, which is nice.

Michael Altarriba

There is one unknown orb at present. I note with interest that Concretia is not injuring Sydney, just restraining her.

Klaus

That would be the logical reaction :) And probably some gag about her forgetting the part, where her shield is air-tight, until someone points it out.

Daniel Schinhofen

Oh, game changer there.

Stephen Gilberg

Nothing here looks out of character for Sydney.

Reigys

Perhaps this is when she finds out she can activate an orb without touching it

Joseph

Well, Sid really hasn’t put enough thought into her whole “glass cannon” status, so maybe this’ll prompt her to be a bit more careful next time. (Who am I kidding, she’s just gonna start spending every second with the shield up.)

L Pedersen

Not a fan of beloved characters made to look absolutely incompetent.

Town Crier

Hmm. As I recall, there are one or two unexplained lights on Sydney's Orb Wheel Of Experience. Maybe we'll get to see what other tricks the orbs have.

Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance

Kizik Ucalegon

Figure she's still got the wrist computer under her sleeve for them to track.

akrasia

Better hope its because they think she's one of the supers, and not because they've identified her space wizard artifacts.

Marc Vun Kannon

So she puts her in a chair, at the exact limit of her ability to move. Somebody wants Sydney captured real bad.

Justaguy

Sydney climbs over the back of the chair...

Stan

Concretia has gotten sneaky, or someone is pulling her strings.

Force Gaia

And I'm putting money on someone noticing Sydney's choker go offline and going to her last known location
