Kickman Returns #18
This page took forever. I miss the old days where each strip was two guys standing around talking about stuff. These multi-villain action sequences take much longer to draw. Also, there’s a lot of words packed in here.
So, no… Kickman was not “powering up” Succubus in the basement. He was cutting a deal with Tsunami so that she could preserve her street cred after lying to the rest of the inmates about how she got arrested (you may need to go back to the Criminal Minds chapter for a refresher course).
As for the water-splitting, combustion stunt… I have no idea how volatile a reaction you get from burning hydrogen. It may actually be just a weenie little pop. But, lungs are soft, so even Superior Tough Lungs are a bit tender, probably, right? Also, when you burn hydrogen it combines with oxygen and leaves behind mostly water as a waste product, so, there’s a chance that Tsunami will be fine after all that. Good to see I learned something in Chemistry class. Just enough to tip the odds in a super battle.
This battle is still escalating. Stay tuned.
