Re: VICTORY LEGION #9: "ISHTAR MESMERIZED!"
Glad you're enjoying the story!
CL - Yes, it was interesting to actually show a married couple having sex, albeit in a weird way, with a lot of secrets between them. I was expecting you would like that CL
.
Dr. Pretorius' mind control tech is very powerful. Even Ishtar can't resist it. It's probably a good thing he's not as ruthless as some other villains.
Hector -
1) Glad you like the scenario! Some of this is stuff I envisioned years ago. Other parts I made up at the last minute. It's funny how that works.
2) I think it's kind of obligatory that when there is a "fiction within a fiction", like Candice and Ron pretending to be a villain and heroine within a story that is itself pretend (i.e. they are character's I made up). If their dialogue and props were as good as what I usually use for the "real" heroines and villains, it would be a little jarring.
3) I do try to minimize my use of thought balloons and narration in favor of more natural ways (actions and dialogue) of conveying the plot to the reader. But sometimes it's just more efficient to use thought balloons and narration. And also sometimes its more sexy to know what they are thinking.
4) We're definitely more than half way to the end of this storyline (I won't say how close yet). With the weekly updates, I am kind of scrambling to get my next storyline ready to go.
