It's popped up a few times before: Allison has a taste for hunks but is absolutely terrified of intimacy, since she's terrified of not having control in general.

She also has no idea how to interact with regular people. Alison is basically a huge goon.

I'm trying to remember if Superman has ever been straight up flirted with / seduced by someone whose life he just saved.

To be honest I'm pretty surprised Alison is so a-flutter over this, although I guess she hadn't ever spent a lot of time doing plain old life-saving before  It's entertaining though.

His metahuman abnormality is that his butt is around his shoulder blades, they can't all be winners.

To any budding comic artists reading this thread: please don't offer "appearances" in your comic in exchange for Kickstarter money. A shot in a crowd is fine, but drat near an entire page (out of a two-page-per-week-comic) just talking to some lady who makes cupcakes because she gave you $200 is not doing your pacing or your story any favors. Edit: I mean, I get it. How artists get paid is an old, old question and flattering the egos of people with money has been an answer to it for some time. (Kickstarter backer reward, Borgia Level - 50,000 florins - I'll paint your face on Jesus!) I just think there are better ways to do it than giving someone's avatar a speaking scene.

I think this comic decided it didn't care about pacing a good long time ago.

I'm fine with a relaxed pace after the clusterfuck of the last issue; after all they're currently setting things up and introducing a new paradigm rather than sitting around when a serial killer is murdering dozens of people because really what is morality, maaaan. I am not, however, okay with Allison enjoying a mocha flavoured cupcake. No good person enjoys mocha flavour.

It's one way to get them out of the way without wrecking your pacing.

I liked this page, because this world seems awfully empty if Allison only were to deal with the same small cast of characters. As the most famous demasked hero in the world, having her meet randos is a cool thing.

"Can he talk to other wolves?" "Yeah but not, like, persuasively." Comic should be like this all the time and not, uh, whatever last chapter was

It was a loving great line. Yeah, turn in to a wolf, talk to other wolves, and they just constantly give you poo poo because your only superpower is to turn in to a wolf.

That reminds me of Krosp, emperor of all cats from Girl Genius. There are a bunch of bears that follow his orders though. Go figure.

Well yeah I figured it's referring back to an earlier story point but I don't remember it at all. It seems weird that she's gloating about it, although of course Pintsize just did the same.

Yeah I get that, that would explain the shoes drawn on top of his head, I mean what was she right about? I remember her having a conversation with Hector a while back but it didn't make a big impression on me - odd because I kind of expect it was the same conversation where Hector talked about super teams being a cool and good thing, and that stuck.

He was gloating she made a super team. She's gloating because he's doing something not superheroey (in the comic book sense) to better the world.

How am I failing to communicate that a) I understand that both of them are gloating and in a general way, what they're gloating about and b) I do not remember the earlier strip that this seems to be associated with? Like, roughly what time period/page range?

Pintsize said that he didn't want to do what she was telling him to do, that he just wanted to have fun doing something good with his friends, not slave away at scientific stuff that he didn't like and wasn't that good at. Honestly if he's decided to work on poo poo that he we categorically ruling out we have yet another offscreen 180 for this comic.

Oh, this. I guess I see her point in gloating but imo his path is way better (fusion power to make fossil fuels obsolete vs. domestic disturbance patrol)

The fact that Alison's powers are not actually that useful for changing the world in any meaningful way has come up a few times before.
