Normally I enjoy Magellan as a generally pretty good comic by a very thorough and very earnest author, but Saturday’s installment* is incredible. In a stunning display of perceptiveness and diplomacy, Kaycee managed to stick a dagger into every single chink in Miasma’s psychological armor, and she did it in a completely inoffensive way. The body image thing is brilliant. And she doesn’t know that Miasma’s looking at the smoking corpse of her boyfriend-in-the-past, who has just been murdered by his crazed drugged up megalomaniacal future self—but that’s going to make it all the more effective in cracking her.

I don’t think even Batman could have come up with that.** Bravo, Stephen Crowley! And bravo, Kaycee!


*You will not understand it unless you’ve read all of Magellan, which requires a subscription to Graphic Smash; I merely put the link there for reference. However, I highly recommend doing that anyway because it also hosts Ursula Vernon’s Digger.

**Bats would still have totally saved the world, but he might not have done it the same way.
