NEW PATRON THANK YOUS
Thank you again to all of you who are able to add and continue your support during this time. You’re keeping this comic going, and it’s much appreciated by me and your fellow readers.
The only reason I’m able to keep making The Young Protectors is because of the very generous support of readers like you on Patreon. And we had a bunch of new folks sign up over the last few days! So, please join me in sending out a very special thank you and welcome to the new members of the Woolfpack this week!
Alan, EJ, Forrest, Martin M. and Joe S.
Thank you so much for your amazing support, Alan, EJ, Forrest, Martin and Joe! You and the other members of the Woolfpack are all the real superheroes of this comic!
So! The Man needs Spooky alive! (And he seems to feel pretty strongly about it.) But why? What happened to him after he used his powers to throw the pews at his own minions? And where is Flyboy going to be able to go?
Tune in this Wednesday to find out! Hope to see you there!
It should be relief that he wants Spooky alive but in the long run it’s more concerning
Hopefully this gives Mitch a chance to get them out of there (and to a doc for Spooky’s leg and his own arm, even a normal doc might not be able to do much )
I wonder if it was a good idea to drop and leave the knife there though
They should be able to make it through the windows - but still, I know how thick stained glass can be. It’d likely hurt. Maybe that’s why they’re super?
Well, I finally guessed one thing more-or-less correctly: that Shades would attack the cultists himself for endangering Spooky, although I said ‘blast’ instead of ‘toss church pews at’. I don’t know why Shades is having a weak moment, but perhaps it’s related to why he needs Spooky. Maybe Shades has terminal cancer and some demon has offered him a cure if he delivers Spooky to him. Because if he just needs the life force of a magic user to drain, he’s already got all those cultists instead.
I do hope the window can be shattered and our boys can make their escape. We have to hope there isn’t some sort of ward around the church preventing such escapes, but it’s hard to know how extensively planned the ‘wizard trap’ was. And we also need to hope the boys won’t be cut up too badly by broken glass, but superheroes are often able to ignore such injuries entirely. I expect any small cuts and bruises they get from the window will be magicked away by Spooky at the earliest opportunity.
I’m going to make another prediction: we haven’t seen the last of that cannon and it will be re-assembled. It’s too unusual an item to be discarded as trash so soon.
