BTW your comic’s ad is on my site! Woo!

Oh and I’d pick: Disposable Heroes for my entrance music. 

Jamie! I think really, it was just good timing on Michael’s part, that and he’s the Assistant to the Commissioner.  He’s one part smooth, one part devoted and one part power, and while Brooke has shown to the contrary, she’s not completely dumb. She knows that this thing of theirs has a shelf life on it so she’s making the best of it.  I’m really happy that you’re enjoying the backstory and that its doing what its intended, making the wrestlers that much more interesting.

Hey Rod! Lots more to come fo’ sho!  Thanks for the encouragement, I really appreciate it.   Again, I’m glad that the backstory is having its intended effect.

Right on RDF! You are right on the money with your thoughts on what the penthouse is used for and the time of day.  Michael’s just going to ‘block off’ indefinitely, this company penthouse.  You sit back and you have to think, ‘Just what IS Michael thinking,’ and off the top of my head, I’d say he isn’t thinking and just riding the thought that he can have it all including his subservance to his goDDess.  Or something. XD  I love your thoughts on panel two and three, definitely some beats that I wanted to hit.    Bad Reputation is pretty good…I actually think Cherry Bomb is too cool for Sarah, in the sense that she wouldn’t like it because the song would take away from the fans checking her out, if that makes sense. She’s got a little ‘Brooke’ in her, if you know what I’m saying. LOL

I think the penthouse is used by Rival Angels to entertain advertisers and other sponsors, kinda like hospitality suites at industrial suppy conventions.

Note the clock in panel one: it is five o’clock… AM or PM ? It’s hard to tell. I’d guess PM, making it about the same time/ maybe a little later than Sun and Sabrina left the park in our last ep.

What does Michael hope to gain from all this? Of course, there is nothing new about young men driven to do  incredibly dumb things on impulse. He’s potentially headed to a tragedy of mythic proportions…

Panel two… Brooke really has it in for her roomates. Of course she’s going to spill! “Na Nannee na na! I’ve got a hot boytoy and a cool penthouse and YOU DONT!!!!”
Panel three B: I’m surprised Brooke didn’t use a choke hold on Michael to reinforce her point… she may lose a lot in the ring but I suspect she could put the hurt on her boytoy. 

All in all a respectable episode, well drawn with good composition. Brooke and Michael are both in character: the sultry Bad Girl and the hapless fellow that does what the dominant women in his life tell him to. I have just got to wonder what Maddie is like…

Think about it, this episode is as much about the people who aren’t there… clearly a pivotal event in the series with consequences to come. For some reason I get this image of Brooke putting all her weight into yanking on a rope connected to a reeeeeealy big bell… 

Alan, hope you have fun at the concert! I grew up in the 70′s;  I’m more of a Led Zeppelin/ Queen/ REO Speedwagon/ Eagles fan. I don’t know enough about Metallica to pick a song from their collection.

For entrance music choices, I suppose Sarah Valentine could use Joan Jett’s “Cherry Bomb”… or maybe “Bad Reputation” would be safer. I’m sure Queen’s “We Will Rock You” is waaay overdone…
