Enough recapping while languishing in bed! Elizabeth is out of her nun habit and back into her Princess Kitara/Lara Croft-hybrid outfit. Grayhawk is back in costume with some special Black Bat-strapping tape to seal up the claw wounds. Time to get up and do some hero-ing!
Well, not quite yet. Next week we get to check in and see how Kickman is doing. And we get our first look at Succubus since she escaped from prison. Well, not so much escaped as just sort of walked away with the rest of the prison population.
It took forever to draw that double panel with those shelves in perspective. I usually phone in my backgrounds, but I needed to show a well-stocked armory. In my mind it would be like Neo saying “We need lots of guns,” but this kind of just looks like the stock room in a coffee shop. I think this strip would benefit from using AI to do the backgrounds. What do you all think if I started doing this? Cheating?
I hate AI generative art…
Will Blush attempt to rescue Kickman from Succubus’ territory?
Will Grayhawk bust a gut in the rescue attempt?
Will Elizabeth punch Grayhawk in the face again?
Will she have to cut off her hair?
Will an AI replace Matt as illustrator and writer of Kickman?
Find out in like 5 or 6 weeks as Stuff. Starts. Happening!
Oh, and Happy Easter!

Granted, Monty died early under unlikely circumstances and his business partners Disney’d out his kids, then the entire poser thing just became a way to make new porn, but the…
..Huh. AI art skipped the “revolutionary new interesting thing” stage and went straight to porn.
Directly under the holy water dispenser is a vajra which is a Buddhist artifact that symbolises the properties of diamonds and lightning. It can be used for the visualisation or evocation of deities.
