Let me second Trishbot's comments! Awesome chapter. I don't want it to end either. I'm loving Marcy's resistance, just like I loved Pink Pussycat's. It makes their downfall all the more exciting!

AWESOME CHAPTER!

Some highlights:

- An odd yet sexy exchange between Sentius and Marcy over their last, odd, one-sided relationship.

- Ms. Metrobay and Omega Woman, "legendary figures in the annals of Metrobay history", having a great reunion after so many decades of not seeing each other... Ms. Metrobay certainly treats her "closest friend" well.

- Pink Pussycat making herself useful and looking damn sexy doing it.

- More chrome cockshaped spray nozzle fun.

- Mixing up the order of cables and nanosuits. Little thing, but noticeable.

- Half-handedly acknowledging that, yes, Ted Twiss is a pimp. An awesome pimp. It's also great seeing a reminder of how much he liked Alpha Woman and Sentius using her against him.

- AMAZING white-out scene with Silver Satin. And boy does she put up a good fight.

- Lastly, Valient Grrl jack hammering a nano-created cock into Mechana's ass in an odd yet undeniably mind-blowing scene that simultaneously reflects their rivalry, only on sexual terms. Only Doc Robo could come up with that and Finister render it so beautiful. I swear, I thought we'd have colonies on the moon before I saw a scene this wonderful. Wowzers!

.... and now I have to wait until next Sunday for more? ARGH!

I liked this chapter with so many differant facets to it. It is so like one of those mega-chapter serials where all the heros are in jeopardy. I liked the way Sentius and Marcy had a sort of verbal joust and for Marcy it is like she is whistling past the graveyard. I think she knows her number is up and she will be under Sentius' thumb in spite of her best efforts.
I think she has to stay in her CyberMarcy state this time. I mean she has had her poor brain reformated so many times that a at some point it has to stay that way for good. I think all elements of the good and pure Marcy should be supressed once and for all and must now reval and find some sort of mechenized joy being more then human. I think the new and improved CyberMarcy should be the next BigBad.

My thanks to Trishbot, Brainhusk, Akonkid, and Vestia for your fantastic comments. There are many rewards to working on these comics, but reading your responses and seeing how much you all enjoy the stories and images is definitely at the top of the list. If anything, it just makes me greedy for more and want to work that much harder to get them!

Here is the cover for the January 20 update (Issue #31). Only two issues left, so enjoy!

I used to comment on this series extensively. The problem is, now everyone else points out all the great things about it before I can add anything:)

I think that's quite a compliment for the series myself:)


I pretty much go along with what everyone else has already stated. I would only add that Marcy and Omega woman getting converted was very hot! So was Mechana's response to getting her ass reformated

I've thought about it, and I think there are a few more things I can add.

As is to be expected, the babes are ultrahot, and the erotic MC content, storyline, and treatment is excellent. Sexual interaction is also very good.

Therefore, I'll talk about other stuff not immediately trelated to the erotic content which has been covered before and can be taken as almost a given (but not quite) to be great.

I like how you've developed different personalities for the characters and then allowed us to witness them being subsumed into the H.E.R. collective.
Its fantastic!

By the same token, this uniformity has not interfered with the characters performing certain functions that fit their former lives. Valiant Girl as the "strong and dumb" girl plays the appropriate role of heavy. Her selection for "formatting Mechana's ass was entirely appropriate, given Mechana's power. Brown Sugar helping to hold her down also makes sense as she appears to be one of the more physically imposing characters.

Tempting Ted with the former Alphawoman and her Slaveunit was also a great idea, especially as Ted has to remember how satisfying it was to alter her and make her his sex slave in the past. Building on and manipulating the Slaveunit's arousal when she was seduced by Alphawoman and still Snowflake during the shower scene was also good.

Alpha Woman and Ms. Metrobay's roles as controlunits appears to be that of "first among equals", which makes sense given their prior leadership positions.

Omega Woman falling into submission from MC also fits well; she's been out of action for awhile, and has that "strong and naive" Dudly-Do-Right mentality.

Jade Lightning's role as the "penetratee", and Brown Sugar dominating one of the Robounits also fits. The former oddly reminds me of "anime all grown up" in a really sexy way.

The controlunits in the HER collective thus have both erotic uniformity, but also like metaphorical parts in a machine, each tend to have specific functions they are more adapted to perform. Tough to do but very nicely done here, imho.

You've also created a truly living fantasy world in Metrobay, one which is broader than and not merely a disposable prop for the particular story you are telling. You've done a great job with story continuity.

In a way this reminds me of an anime hentai I once saw called Bible Black, but much better in terms of good story and characters.

Wow Leto, I can't thank you enough for those excellent and insightful comments. It is feedback like what which is most helpful, because it really tells me what you all are looking for in a story and what is working (and what isn't) in our comics.

You are pretty much dead on with your observations, which says to me that I'm doing something right. Finister and I have made a conscious effort to build a little 'Metroverse' in which our characters and their tales can reside, to hopefully make our stories a little more than just background noise for the eye candy. I am pleased to see that it is working, and again I thank you for the kinds words.

Another great update last week from Doc and Finister! As we get closer to the grand finale, I'm so torn between really wanting to see each new issue and not wanting it to end!

It looks like Marcy may manage to break free of Sentius's control based on that last panel, but I'm really hoping she doesn't since she makes one of the sexiest slaves in the series (something about those cybernetic implants!).

But I do realize that since we're nearing the end, the good guys (at least most of them! heh) are going to have to win somehow, and soon! (Because how else can they be controlled again later?)

First of all let me just say I love this whole series. It is awesome. Also I want to add to what leto17 said earlier. I love the fact that Omega Woman being out of commission for a while is kind of, ih his words, "strong and naive" Dudly-Do-Right mentality. I like that in her. I personally think her conversion is the most sweetest of all. To me the more powerful and the more confident the superheroine, the all the sweeter defeat. I just wish there was more time in this story to see her really get served up some humble pie. In big helpings of sexual servitude. But I tell you what I would like to see in a future comics. I would like to see Omega Woman take center stage and have either her naiveness come in to play or maybe even have Crissy's abilities inadvertedly help take out Omega Woman. But I would like to see her taken out by common street thugs that she severly under estimated and have her end up with the contol collar around her neck. I personally like that way of control better because it is more humiliating to the heroine that is in full control of her mind but her powerful and sexy body belongs to the villains to do with as they please. That way she can protest and fight but her body is taken and possesed by the thugs. What do all of you think? The mighty Omega Woman taken by street thugs and striped and raped and humiliated? Does that sound doable to anyone? What do you think Doc?

I sense that people are picking up on the naive and bold theme that Doc's got running through out the story. Looking back at how each captured superheroine got caught, a majority of them just walked to Sentius' place and went right in to face their destiny to become H.E.R.

Brown Sugar strolled right in to see what was going on, like she knew what she was doing and took the innocent Jade with her. Valiant Grrl broke in with Alpha Woman and just ran right up to the Controlunits, dragging Alpha Woman along to their date with the conversion chamber. Ms. Metrobay breaks in later, bringing Pink Pussycat with her, and the same result, except her daughter zaps her with the ray-gun. Now Omega Woman comes bashing her way in with her rag-tag group and whamo, they go down the same way, with Ms. Metrobay zapping Omega Woman. Most of the Junior members of the team were just to naive enough to look away from a TV screen or too naive to not follow a hypnotized friend to the same destiny.

Very poetic I have to say about the mind ray gun chain between Alpha Woman, Ms. Metrobay and Omega Woman.

This sounds similar to the chapter we had earlier this year with Snowflake and Solaria vs. The Boyz. Is that the type of action you are referring to?

I really struggled with that concept. I obviously wanted the heroines to fall into Sentius's trap(s), but on the other hand I didn't want to make them look like inept morons. That is why I painted Sentius as this villainous genius who has the technological backing of APEX and the element of surprise on his side. I also resisted the urge to have the drones leave the factory and hunt down heroines because I wanted the entire H.E.R. order to be kept a secret from the outside world. Obviously if anyone spotted them out roaming the city Sentius's cover would be blown and the National Guard would be knocking on his door in a heartbeat. So, I guess that's why I wrote it the way I did.

- Doc

I feel the same way. While I enjoy writing this story immensely, all good things must come to an end. You do make a good point, though. The best part about a storyline ending is that another one is usually right around the corner!

- Doc

Well, this is the moment of truth. Those of you who have been following the "Superheroine Squad" saga know the score: Sentius 11, Superheroine Squad 0. Now the malevolent machine has captured Silver Satin and Omega Woman and - when we last left off - was in the process of enslaving them as well! If Sentius is indeed successful in transforming those two proud heroines into obedient human robots, then only the former Dr. Twisted and the gynoid Mechana will stand between him and total domination of Metrobay. So what do you think will happen? Will Sentius add to his victory total, or will the good guys finally win one? Find out in the penultimate issue of "Night of the Drones", episode ten of the "Superheroine Squad" series. It is illustrated by Finister Foul and written by Doctor Robo and available exclusively at HIPComix.com, so sign up today and see what you are missing!

As you all know, next week is the final edition of "Superheroine Squad". After that issue has been posted Finister Foul and I will be taking a little break to recharge and brainstorm some new characters and new storylines. We won't be disappearing from HIPComix permanently, but the weekly updates will cease for the forseeable future.

That said, here is the cover for the "Superheroine Squad" finale, courtesy of our good friend and regular guest artist Trishbot!

I actually like the way you laid it out. It was/is very entertaining and I really dig the strategy that was portrayed in the attempted take over. Sentius captured the right one from the start by bagging Crissy because her talent nullifies the other superheroines talent. Her being a junior heroine, she wasn't missed as much either. That caused less alarm.

The factory cause more suspicion than alarm, which in turn, cause the heroines to investigate the curious happenstance of what was going on. Thus, with their naivity and boldness, they were easily lured inside. There they were close enough for Sentius to capture the unsuspecting heroines.

Slowly Sentius builds the controlunit army as each one is zapped. This goes on till the big dogs are sent in and by that time it was too late. He has enough bodies to over power them and add them to his collection.

And Sliver Satin, the one that would be considered the least of the squad, the one that actually started the whole chain of events, is the one that ends it.

Bravo, Maestro, Bravo on a very well-written, well-illustrated, well-done story. ME and my fantasies couldn't agreed more with your work.

Action-packed finale. Some real surprises in this one. I won't spoil anything, but needless to say the quality of this comic is going to make its much-deserved vacation quite hard to bear. Awesome job, all around! Silver Satin, Ted, Omega Woman, and especially Mechana really shone through in this one!

I agree with Dumbtime, it was a very well laid-out story, and while the inner super-villain in me is always a bit disappointed to see the bad guys lose, on a pure story level I like what you've done with it.

Two things:

1) Someone had suggested that you maybe do a "What If" issue depicting how things would have gone if the heroines hadn't won the day. I know I personally would love to see something like that! Any thoughts on whether that's a conceivable update down the road?

2) I remember a while back you showed us a preview image for a flashback chapter depicting some of the earliest heroines of the city having been captured by some mad scientist. I never saw anything more about this chapter...what happened? Is it a future project or did it get abandoned for whatever reason?

Anyway, great work to you both! And while I'm not exactly eagerly anticipating the final chapter because it represents the end (and also because it looks like all the hot mind control is over ), I will be happy enough to read it when it arrives.

I look forward to future episodes!! This was such a well-done, ambitious project that I can't wait to see what you guys cook up next!

Yes that is kind of what I would like to see Omega Woman go through. I love that chapter especially because the heroine knows what is happening to her and can protest all she wants, but is helpless to stop it. Of course I would like to see it more drawn out and elaborated. you could throw in all kinds of humiliation for the poor heroine. Of course the story line its self can go many ways but I am just speaking about the fun stuff.
Thanks for your consideration.

I like MadCap hate it when the goodguys win. I have enjoyed the issued now and in the past so I really can't conplain. I have found many delicicous chapters and feel happy to have them. It just gets repeatative to have the last minute "happily ever after" ending.
I would hope for a suprise twist at the end where we find on the the femmes not as she should be and posibly lay the groundwork for a next tissues.
As to the chapter artwork I found seeing BrownControl unit's body laying seemingly lifeless on the factory floor was very hot. I do love those nono-bodysuits. hehe
