Amazing intro post! It’s absolutely dripping with atmosphere, from their less than ideal shelter, to Wanda’s mixed feelings over Pietro’s methods of keeping them fed and her worry over his well-being, you do a great job at conveying their desperate circumstances — the Serbian was a lovely touch in that sense, a subtle reminder of just how far away from home they really are. I really enjoyed the way you portrayed magic through the candle, both as a representation of Wanda’s struggle to control her power as well as a demonstration of the immensity of Strange’s own. Speaking of which, the promise of Strange potentially acting as a mentor for Wanda has me positively giddy. I love your voice for him, and the idea of a seasoned sorcerer like himself acting as a mentor (or at the very least a guiding hand) for a desperate soul just looking to survive is the kind of dynamic engaging stories are made of. I can’t wait to see more of Wanda’s journey.

Smallville’s influence shows in a big way in Superman #3 and I love it. The decision to give Clark two siblings is an interesting one to me, especially Ryan, who was always one of my favourite show-original characters — he seemed like someone Clark could relate to, not just as an older brother but as someone who shared in Clark’s experiences as an outsider with strange abilities. Which is why it was a nice surprise seeing the inverse of that dynamic through Jessica, who has no powers but seeks comfort through her and Clark’s shared experiences with Kryptonite-infected people and more importantly, fear. Ma and Pa Kent’s interactions also felt very reminiscent of their Smallville selves, probably my favourite adaptation of the two in which they feel the most like complex, well-rounded characters in their own right. My preference for Superman tends to lean pre-Crisis, in which he’s an orphan twice over and grappling with the loneliness that comes with it — but this family dynamic you’ve set up is so rich with potential not just for Clark, but every other Kent, that I’m very excited to see where you might take it.

As for Superman #4, once again I love the bits of Kryptonian worldbuilding you revealed. The genophage is a really cool touch that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before — the idea of Rao forcefully turning red and the Kryptonians losing their abilities via deliberate devolution is an incredibly fun and novel take. Jor and Zor-El’s conversation was touching, loved what it revealed not only about the Superman suit’s functions, but their family dynamic as well. Volcana’s circumstances were heart-wrenching, and I for one can’t wait to see Clark butt heads with the Luthors, the DEO and ARGUS, as I’m sure that whatever plans they may have for metahumans, they can’t bode well for anyone.

Hooo boy. What can I say, I’m a sucker for this kind of setting — hell, this kind of premise in general. The House is the type of place that lights my imagination on fire, a special kind of horror that twists the familiar into something foreboding and uncanny and [i]wrong.[/i] With every post this premise has me wondering exactly how John plans to get himself out of this one. For a guy without magic he sure does seem to have a knack for getting himself into situations where it’d be nice to have. His and Astra’s dynamic is a refreshing flip after volume one’s heavier, baggage-laden exploration of John and Chas’ friendship. Their banter is a treat, and John’s exasperation over dealing with a fourteen year-old’s fourteen year-olding was delightful. The ending was a pitch-perfect cliffhanger, I can’t wait to see where you take them on this timeloop journey and how your planned crossovers will fit into it all.

Pretty fitting that, brief romantic fantasy aside, our first Iron Fist post opens with a punch. Danny seems to have been dealt a bad hand both literally and metaphorically at the onset of this story, reeling from grief and rage, his power stolen and blood on his mind. His anger is palpable as the fight unfolds, every strike a release, Misty trying in vain to speak some reason into him. Danny feels like he’s at his lowest point here, and I’m curious to see how he’ll climb back up — you’ve left me wondering about his relationship to Orson and what it was that’s tipped him into such intense grief after his death, as well as what exactly Shiva means to him, a romantic connection that I didn’t expect. Hope to see more of what I imagine will be a bloody revenge quest against Davos, and I’m keen to see Danny and RPing rookie John Table’s Luke interact!

Wait a minute. I swear I just did one of these for you. I think this might be my favourite Emma post so far; the way you use perspective in a meta sense to represent the shift in Carl’s dreamspace as he unanchors himself from the narrative was so well done. The abstract description of this mental plane was so disorienting, but still brimming with clarity — while unfamiliar concepts to the reader, it’s clear that you’ve thought this all through, and for such an abstract power as telepathy it’s gratifying to see it defined so creatively. And once again, Emma’s characterisation shines through, imposing herself onto a young mutant’s dream because she saw the opportunity for a teachable moment and took it, only his best interests mind. For the children, always. Gimme more! More!!!
