Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 07, 2024

Seagull cautiously peeking around the corner. Probably sensing her mood.

we love a good supervillain

How lovely to be so young, and yet self-aware enough to catch herself going off. Peace out, Rose!

Rose: “I’d rather work for Buckaroo Banzai as a project planner.”

“I AM.. DA LAHW!”

You know what the difference between a bad guy and a supervillain is, right?

You littered, off to detension!

That’s the thing about becoming a supervillain. You have to break serious laws to make other people obey the law.

i wonder which one would be her, “pinky”, as she tries to take over the world….

narf!

We see Rose’s true nature peeking through.

Shakespeare does this bit I his Tempest. But poor Gonzalo doesn’t have the same self-awareness as Rose.

Genocidal tyrants dream of utopias, also

Check out those reflexes, she grabbed that paper plane right out of the air!

With great power comes great Rose-ponsibility!

She welcomes the coming Fascist red hat regime.

Aha! I knew it!

I like how Rose snatches the paper airplane out of the air.

Be glad it’s just a skateboard, Rose. These days it could be anything.

Rose caught herself before going into maniacle laughing while eating the paper airplane.

Girl’s got a definite authoritarian streak…

one girl’s utopia is another kid’s hell

In many of the old Bond movies and Batman tv shows, the villains would create intricate contraptions and traps to kill the hero – only Rose’s would work as intended…

Use your powers for good, Rose. Goodly.

Then there’s just going to be a rebellion.

She has more self control than some, then.

What’s Seagull up to, there?

That’s Amelia’s role.

When Rose makes a mistakes and breaks a rule unwittingly, Spud will rise to become the Leader Supreme. Can’t wait to see what “utopia” Dear Leader Spud will create.

Galadriel vibes…

The mistake most dictators or those in full control of societies make. They knpw how to run your lives better than you do and will lie to get you to let them run your lives. The last company that had a better idea was Ford and YOU had the choice whether or not to buy…..

This is why Rose needs Wallace in her life, for balance.

Love Rose taking a moment to center in panel 7, to cut off full supervillain mode.

Power corrupts. It can also give you a nasty headache.

Can’t believe nobody has yet remarked that we now know two more names of background characters in the strip! Slowly, the full cast is becoming known! Let’s all welcome Carleigh Samson and Jimmy Murphy to the list!

Beauty and the Beast -a terrifying remake about Rose trying to conquer her inner super-villain.

Rose is on a rampage! (And her daddy is called "Doctor Doom!)

Opening Panel: A mounted statue of Rose wearing her “Monitor” sash. The plaque reading “Supreme Leader”.

The line between good and evil runs through every human heart.

At least she recognizes it for what it is.

I like this side of Rose.

do it girl
