And into the Fire

Dandi Andi

Time to put my analyzing panties on. Ellie would likely be aware that Pumpkin and Quinn have been spending time together. This takes place after the first convention but before the events of "The Chain". If Pumpkin has been coming over on most weekdays, she couldn't keep it a secret from Ellie for long. I also don't imagine that Quinn would be inclined to keep it a secret from Ellie, anyway.She likely would, however, agree not to discuss Pumpkin's sexual orientation. Ellie would also be aware of the Kat debacle. She's aware that an older brunette tried to take advantage of her little sister. Now she walks in on an older brunette in what appears to be a compromising position with her little sister. I'm not surprised that Ellie would be upset. Considering that Ellie also knows about Pumpkin's cosplaying, a quick explanation should clear this up. Also, Quinn is seen wearing the Ender Man hoodie in "The Chain", so we can presume that everyone is still friendly after this all plays out. This promises to be rather explosive in the short-term, though.

Agreed. Also, I loved your 'Cliffs of Dover'. Aww. Just realized you have a 'T' in your surname.

Mr. Blue

They'd just be drinking latte's complaining about how they can't find a reliable boy friend in the super hero community. Then Thanos would appear, grab them both and go to the local sporting event and use them as clapper sticks. Slamming them together every time the local time scored.

Mr. Blue

The dramatic art is great. Gives us a bit of a "Calvin and Hobbes" effect.

Mr. Blue

I'm going to vote you down for using the Takai quote when it's already been used above. At least Mike Rowe is on tv to take care of the dirty jobs cleaning up this place.

Mr. Blue

You go this way, And I'll go home.

Mr. Blue

It's bad enough that Koothrapalli has a Lt. Uhura uniform in his closet, and his family knows about it. The family already knows about the cosplay that Pumpkin does. What secret is there that is out there that we do not know about?

Mr. Blue

Ack, that was as bad as George Takai giving Wollowitz relationship advice in how to date Bernadette.

Mr. Blue

This will not bode well.

I hope Ellie is smart enough to know Quinn has now interest in Pumpkin.

Oooh yeah, this looks bad, haha!

So everyone always asks: "Superman or Batman?" I'd love to see an argument about Power Girl vs. Wonder Woman.

That One Guy

Woohoo! Called the reason for the preview image. Also, of course Ellie is Power Girl. How could she be anything else in Pumpkin's imagination in a DC comic setting? The thing I find most interesting (from a story/character development stance) about the Power Girl Ellie frame is that Pumpkin is truly sufficiently worried/upset about this part of her life intersecting with her family that she'd view Ellie's surprised/upset WTF reaction in a glowing eyes & exuding lighting bolts fashion as opposed to just floating along looking skeptical. Sometimes I forget that Pumpkin is 15 and I just assume she'll be a little more grown-up/mature than is realistic.

Drywall'd in the next strip? Ellie looks like an angry momma bear.

Dan

Hi Ellie! Welcome home!

This all happens before Ellie quits working for Danny and he installs the cameras.

Marvel, Image, Dark Horse still in play. Cast reenactment of Saga?

Don Satow

OK, can't wait for the Marvel drawings. ;)

Steve

I like the look on Quinn's face like she was actually caught doing something and will have to explain it.

Ellie was pretty much born to cosplay Power Girl.

This is the last DC inspired comic. Since Pumpkin mentioned Ellie could cosplay as a Powergirl in street clothes, this has come full circle.

Shotgun Shuffle only use the freshest hells bought daily at the local farmer's market.

Erik Bell

Also, note the painstakingly-inked dramatic lighting effects!

Snowfall7

Just to confirm, all of this is occurring BEFORE the current storyline in the non-paetron comics, correct?

Erik Bell

"Wait, I can explain!" "...well?" "Okay, I can't explain, but she can. I think. Maybe?"

Ben K

[APPLAUSE]

Lukas Buergi

Oh my. If I hadn't been lying already, I would have probably dropped laughing. :D Those last few panels are just too perfect!

Sabrina Pandora

As a once and future Power Girl, I approve of this analogy. Also? Ohhhh myyyyy.

Some secrets should stay buried deep in the closet, chained up in the lead lined air tight box. This was one such secret and all parties will regret its exposer to light, air, and warmth.

I hope Ellie is smart enough to listen to Quinn!

NeonOpal426

Oh what fresh hell is to come? LOL

Not sure what I'm in love with more; Quinn actually cosplaying or the idea of Ellie as Powergirl. also, those comic panels have got to take some SERIOUS extra time. Good work Chris and Jessica. Y'all keep wowing me.
