Thanks so much for your good blog;this is the words that keeps me on track through out the day. I have been searching around for your site after asked to visit them from a buddy and was thrilled when I found it after searching for awhile. Being a demanding blogger, Im hopeful to see others taking initivative and contributing to the community. Just wanted to comment to show my approval for your page as it is very challenging to do, and many writers do not get acknowledgment they deserve. I am sure Ill visit again and will send some of my friends.

Lady Jane is dead, having been killed by the Word during Mark Millar’s run. Tefe is no longer an elemental, having been turned into a regular girl during the fourth Swamp Thing series. And Bog Venus is out traveling the stars.

>> Along those lines, was that a female Viking Prince in the ship? >>

No. Viking Prince was a character, not a role played by multiple people, like Black Bison.

And even if you generalized it to include all Viking princes, rather than just Jon, then there wouldn’t have been female princes by definition.

The Viking woman in the issue is a Viking woman who channels the worldsoul — whether she’s a princess or some other rank, we don’t know.

>> And G.I. Combat? >>

#259, in fact.

And G.I. Combat?

*admiring glance*

Damnation.

I am thankful for Tom Bondurant’s annotations (and I don’t even have to be! I’m Canadian!) Good to hear you’ll be continuing them.

“Panel 3 looks like a version of Black Bison, a male character…”

Along those lines, was that a female Viking Prince in the ship?

>> Here, it is manifested in a series of women each connected to the Worldsoul, and therefore to the Earth’s other “seekers.”>>

No, Magala-or-not’s spirit isn’t reincarnated. The link to the worldsoul is passed on.

>> So … Rita is the latest incarnation of Magala?>>

No, she’s the latest link to te worldsoul.

>> “ZEE-NA”: subtle! At first I thought this was Starfire, a sword-and-sorcery heroine created by David Michelinie and Mike Vosburg for Starfire #1 (August-September 1976), but she lives on another planet.>>

And besides, this is Zeena, from an old issue of G.I. COMBAT. Subsequent warrior princesses are latecomers!

>> This week’s mulligan comes in panel 2. I’m inclined to think she is a plant elemental like Swamp Thing, but she doesn’t seem to be either Lady Jane, and she’s not Tefé Holland. I don’t think she’s Bog Venus either. Anyway, I’m sure a commenter will tell us…>>

She’s new, but is similar to Blackbriar Thorn.

>> Panel 3 looks like a version of Black Bison, a male character created by Gerry Conway and Pat Broderick for The Fury Of Firestorm #1 (June 1982). The character’s powers were derived from a magical amulet and coup stick, and it looks to me like this female character at least has the same amulet.>>

Kee-rect.

>> Sindella was created by Gerry Conway and Dick Dillin and first appeared in Justice League of America #165 (April 1979). She is (or will become) the wife of Giovanni Zatara and the mother of Zatanna Zatara.>>

Since she’s wearing the Crystal Crown and sitting by that pool, this scene is well after Zatanna’s birth, and takes place after Sindella’s presumed death and her return to the Hidden City.

>> I suppose we are to infer that Anthony (who was a policeman)>>

Anthony was/is not a policeman, nor a National Guardsman. Either of those would have been considered a soldier by Konvikt, and he wouldn’t have felt any dishonor in killing him in combat.

>> Therefore, look for the annotations to issue #27 next week over at Comics Should Be Good, courtesy of my new host (for a little while, at least) Mr. Brian Cronin! Brian and I were Great Curvers together, and he’ll be taking care of issue #27 while I’m away on business. After that, I’ll be back for issue #28 and the rest of the series.>>

I’ll look forward to ‘em wherever they are!

He wasn’t part of the National Guard contingent at Thayer’s Notch?

One more thing I’ll be visiting a different website to read.

Great job, Tom, as always, but I’m pretty sure we never said specifically said what the civilian victim, Anthony Vittaglia did as a profession, since we know he’s not a policeman.
It’s all part of the character arc for Konvikt.

Happy holiday weekend everyone!
