    While i know this probably isn’t right but this makes me think of an over enthusiastic director who is trying to ignore the fact that pay day was two days ago and the actors are still waiting for their checks.

    Jokes on you Keshi. They’re going to follow Vogue now, you just lost your badass army.

    Poor Keshi. I liked him for the few panels he showed up on. Very charismatic ( or as much as a flaming horse skull headed demon could get ). In most tales its intelligence that beats power, conniving villains that are the hardest to defeat but often fall to their own devices. Hope Vogue accounts for when the commedia see through her ruse.

      That is, if she doesn’t otherwise self-destruct, first; she looks like she’s walking a knife’s edge between her desperation and her cunning. So far, her luck, her insight, and her cunning have kept her from having to act *too* rashly in pursuit of her desperate desires. (Well, if joining in a revolt, selling oneself to a demon, and self-mutilation can be considered as “not *too* rash.” I think, though, that Vogue, pushed to the wall, could act dangerously unhinged if she felt her goals slipping away irretrievably.) Perhaps some time spent leading the Commedia will bring her the successes and confidence to listen more to her cunning than to her hunger.

      If not, though, she strikes me as the kind of rising star that can illumine the heavens in a searing flash as she acts based on fear of losing something opposed to based on securing her next objective.

      Keshi does have a lot of charisma…the reasons will definitely be explained later.

      I will repeat…never count Vogue out. This character more than any of the rest writes herself. She constantly surprises me.

      When I was Wendy Pini’s apprentice she once told me “The best hero and villain combos want the same thing.” In many ways they are polar opposites but at the core the basic desire is the same. In Wendy’s Elfquest her Hero Cutter just wants what is best for the elves. Her villain Winnowill also wants what is best for the elves even though the actions she takes are horrific she believes they are the best.

      When I try to get at the core of Goat, her main motivation, it’s recognition sure but even more basic she just wants a grand destiny. The thing that kept her going through Mushroom’s training was the thought that she was a “faerie princess in training.” Instead she became the Puck..which is pretty much the same thing.

      Vogue also craves the grand destiny. That’s why she tried pulling the trigger…twice. The second time, in her commedia stage, she held it longer than anyone but Goat. Almost as if the gun was confused, “hey, this one’s not quite right but I don’t know, maybe…” But in that moment many truths were revealed to Vogue. One of those truths was that her grand destiny will have to be self-constructed. There is no sword in a stone (or gun in a rock) waiting for her.

        You just earned massive nerd cred with me for working for Mrs Pini! I loved Elfquest and its complex characters. 🙂

    I seem to remember Keshi destroying a member of the commedia with a flick of his wrist. Did they forget that or does it somehow no longer apply?

      True but he also needs the commedia to accomplish his plans, he is a bit too far in to suddenly wipe the slate and start over on his own. That and a single bee is easily defeated, a swarm can kill you.

    Honestly, I’d be more afraid of what Vogue would do to me if I went against her than getting turned to ash by Keshi. At least that would be quick and relatively painless.
