That’s it for the Coven for now…but who is that lady in the last panel? We’ll have to wait until next week for that answer, because this Sunday it’s time for Scapula to hit the club scene!

Yeah, real nice move, Doctor J. Send your one remaining minion out into the street, in full view of the public eye, openly advertising your organisation with nothing to defend herself except a wooden sign. Reeeeeal smooth.
Or is that two minions? Who’s the new girl with the flyers?
When I say “public eye”, I more specifically refer to the eyes of Scapula and his allies.
The new girl with the flyers isn’t anyone important; probably a friend of Little Miss or just a new PR recruit. She wont be taking center stage anytime soon (unlike some other woman in today’s comic).
Is Little Miss in danger of a public attack? If it’s from Scap and his crew, probably not (they weren’t in the best condition last we saw them). If it’s from people who just like to start trouble with feminists, LGBT organizations and the like, then…yeah, call the cops. Those people exist.
“The Eyes of Scapula” would be a pretty nifty title for a short story!
Actually, given Miss Miserable’s apparent invulnerability to damage (surviving the exploding house, namely), and the level of ability (or lack thereof) possessed by Team Scap, a wooden sign should be more than capable of fending them off, so scratch what I said about “nothing except a wooden sign”.
Imagine her swinging that thing around really fast like a helicopter blade; she would not only cut her enemies in twain, but also be able to fly away and make her escape!
This seems more Little Miss’s speed, rather than vigilantism.
To each their own. Little Miss should have just been doing this all along; if you think holding a sign is pointless, then how about driving around a bunch of angry folks who just want to beat everyone up?
Well, going from a supervillain-bashing crash riot to one of those typical naggy feminist movement nobody gives more than a minute’s thought to. In some ways, a huge disappointment, but in other ways, a vast improvement considering the fact that Jeraukov’s idea was lousy from the beginning.
Why do I somehow get the feeling that Jeraukov was just shutting Misery down gently?
If there’s any “moral” to this storyline, it’s that teamwork can be pretty damned hard. Maybe I wrote it that way to remark on a lot of bad groups I wound up in (family, schoolmates, co-workers, people on the bus), or maybe that’s just how all of these characters have been set up over the years.
Jeraukov at least has learned from her mistakes (and yes, she made plenty). As for Scapula, well, we’ll find out in the next storyline!
Is that woman in the last panel samantha wikan?
Nope, new character. Samantha doesn’t hold the copyright on those witch hats!
Judging by that headgear, a coven may be right up her alley.
She certainly sounds interested. Perhaps the Coven have a new recruit?
Well, it’s good to see LMM out doing something she enjoys rather than has no interest in. Jeraukov seems to have got the memo. You know, the one that says “hey lady, this stuff’s harder to pull off than it looks!”
Probably for the best. Having that many strong egos in the room could only lead to pain. Too many chiefs, not enough indians, as they say.
She’s definitely working with people who are more willing to listen to reason and her cause instead of just seeking revenge or wanton violence. As far as her new goal is concerned, she’s better off without her old crew. Crybaby and Knuckle Sam’s murderous methods probably would be very beneficial to this particular PR campaign!
I guarantee more people would take an interest with a known kidnapper and a giant violent ganger around, but I suppose the message would get muddy pretty fast!
Hey, a big new scandal is the best PR I know of (going by the tried-and-true adage,
“There’s no such thing as bad publicity”), so maybe murderers like Knuckle Sam and Crybaby could drum up some attention for the Coven just by doing what they do best!
My eye was drawn to that kid in the left side of panel one. Who pissed in his cornflakes!? 🙂
Perhaps he doesn’t approve women protesting? Maybe he’s mad because he’s short? Or perhaps he’s angry about getting a ‘walk-on’ part in this comic but not getting any lines!
