Victory City # 32 is one of my favorite issues of all your run.
It has a little of characterization showing us the Queen of the Night (I always remember “Days of our lives” with her name!) by showing us Prospero utter respect (Dare I say fear?), also showing us she is reasonable when asking for his part but not wanting to harm Prospero´s plans, and even when she tells her back-story.
But the very best are the way she seduces the heroines. With pleasure, not pain. I just love this approach and I think that this is one of the best issues you have produced. The way she seduced Ocelot Woman was fantastic, and I sure would like to see more of American goddess seduction next issue.
Keep up this great work!
I'm sorry I'm not familiar with "Days of our Lives." The author David Brin had an alien race in his novels called "The Brothers of the Night" which always sounded cool to me. And there's also the Whitney Houston song. I wanted her to have a spooky, vaguely menacing title, like Batman or the Shadow.
The seduction of Ocelot Woman was very much based on the way BC does it in his stories (you can find them in the Stories forum at HIP Comix).
Glad you liked it, Hector!
