    Today is my birthday and this comic is awesome!

    Kinda p.s.- I have dissociation, pretty major- I say We sometimes/a lot in my head when I’m having a split decision. Seeing it here feels… Pretty cool actually ^_^

    Two versions of the same person using the same pose in completely different ways. Nice touch.

    Makes me wonder where the real Marah works. Hang on, is the NSA where Chester works? Wait, it is. Does that mean that Future Fictional Marah works for the agency that governs superheroes? Hmm, I wonder if she’ll tell herself she’s a superhero? Or a field agent?
    Other than that, I really like what you did with the expressions. The tower has really tricky lighting from a rendering perspective. Is the light source the line on the wall?

      There SHOULD be three light sources. An faint light above them, the light strip on the wall and the lamp Marah is holding. Except I forgot the lamp on this page. Even though I rendered the lighting on their bodies as if she is holding it.

        She obviously clipped it to her belt so it’s still on her person, lighting up the place, just conveniently out of frame. We already established it’s magic so the lack of previously visible clips or other means of attachment isn’t a problem either! Continuity intact!

      Plot twist: Chester is actually Marah.

      In the NSA’s ideal world, they know everything, and you know only what they want you to know.

      Yeah. In Ghost Kiss I’ve really skirted over how awful the NSA. Tts not better in the comic world than it is in ours, but its also in charge of superhero stuff.

        The problem is that public scrutiny is one of the best ways to reign in government agencies. An agency that must be secret by the nature of it’s mission would require members of impeccable integrity. Sadly, do to the flawed nature of humanity, either secrecy or principle must be compromised. There are good people almost everywhere but I can’t imagine an intelligence agency is s good atmosphere for them. I think the question of how to run an agency that requires secrecy while also having them be accountable to the public is beyond the scope of a comment on the internet or indeed the actions of any individual person. I’m not defending the NSA, rather noting the precarious balance such an agency would exist in by nature. I’m not sure there is a good way. Certainly we need intelligence agencies.

          Sure. I’m FAR from an expert. In fact, I know barely anything about the NSA except for the handful of awful things everyone knows.

    Does this mean that she’ll come back to life and go back to earth? I’m guessing someone already asked that.

    NSA hmmm. I trained at NSA HQ at Ft. Meade, advanced courses in Electronic Warfare. Interesting facilities with security I had not seen in any other places. Seem like the kind of place Mara might wind up. Lot of different “Int”s there. COMINT, ELINT, TELINT, SIGINT, etc. What’s Mara’s specialty I wonder?

      She has access to a nifty oracle (the Arsenal). It could have something to do with that.

    I feel like this is exactly what it would feel like to have a conversation with my own teenage self.

    Especially when I consider how much has changed since then.

    Because she lives in a better parallel universe than ours, Older One. 🙁

    If she always says the same thing, then shouldn’t you know that she would say she doesn’t know?

    Basically- this girl is claiming that she has experience with this, but she doesn’t seem to actually know anything beyond basic mannerisms. Or really anything that you couldn’t get from a video feed of her way inside, or basic extrapolation on future growth.

    I know it has only been two pages, but I am not sure if she has said anything that only Marah would know yet.

    Does this mean that we’re going to see future Mara show up in Ghost Kiss?

      Maybe. But Ghost Kiss takes place around the same time as Modest Medusa. So who knows?
