Thanks to Swan Maiden for bringing this to my attention. Great name for a super hero, by the way, Swan Maiden – perhaps with a twin called Snow Maiden – and as the series unfolds, other members of the flock could be introduced – Show Maiden, Dusk Maiden, Glow Maiden, Beau Maiden (a trans character for inclusivity), Bow Maiden, Sew Maiden (a fairly limited superpower, that one). Some scripts are already racing through my head…..
Space Detective I liked – especially the dame in lilac on the front cover! Sublime art from Wally on Bandits of the Stairways – why can’t I be that good!? I think Teena’s a great name for a sidekick (Tracy, Emily and Sharon too) – but I suspect a hint of rivalry there – “This is a job for the Avenger!” “And Teena! (cross look on face which Avenger pretends to ignore)”.
Like Swan Maiden (well-known Head Girl of the Maidens of Quark – the title of the first script in my head, by the way), I loved Serra Venta – great outfit, great name (actually, it’s Latin for ‘stage name’ – very appropriate as Serra is an actress in the story. As a character, she’s too good to lose – I can think of three ways she can come back from the dead – how about you?
Lucky Dale, Girl Detective, was a pleasant surprise. Warren Kremer’s pencils were well up to standard with some nice angles and it was great to see the blonde in the red dress fighting back and taking command. More please!
