    It’s probably no coincidence that both the Greek and Norse pantheons are ruled by their respective gods of thunder.

    Of all the strips to rerun, this one is quite appropriate for my case and scenario! I was curious to find out the lore of Voltina the Electricity Dragon, so I bought myself Volume 6 of PaHU, The Magic Storm two nights ago off Amazon. It arrived within 24 hours, for it was at my doorstep yesterday afternoon, October 26th.

    It’s a short read, and I really enjoyed it. Dakota is portrayed at her absolute worst, being rude to pretty much everyone she interacts with, at one point or another. Marigold, on the other hand, displays a side of concern and worry that played out very well. Voltina’s introduction to the series is tastefully done, and I highly recommend you pick up a copy for yourself, if you’re into this comic.

    I won’t dive deep into it here, but there’s an aspect I don’t like that’s canon to the series. It’s a sensitive topic that most people, both in the world and on this website, would agree with, while others wouldn’t. However, it doesn’t detract from the book that much. The only other complaint I have is that the ending feels a bit rushed, but even then, it’s a minor nit-pick.

    Over all, I give the book a solid 9/10 for being an enjoyable read that fleshes out the characters. Hopefully, we’ll be able to see Voltina make more appearances in the future. Mayhap we’ll get a two-in-one book featuring the separate adventures of Max and Voltina and Dakota and Lord Splendid Humility. It could happen, right?

    When I was in grade school, a thunderstorm raged during lunchtime recess. The teachers wouldn’t let us go inside. We were required to stay in the outdoor covered area. We were dry and protected from the wind, but there was a storm going on. I saw through the green plastic corrugated roof a bright streak that was instantly followed by a loud ker-krak. The teachers then let us go inside. After school I saw why. Across the street from the school there had been a tree. In its place was a scattering of tree pieces. Ten years later when I left for college, there was still a significant depression in the yard where that tree had been.

    It’s the electrocution part I tend to worry about.

    Storms are exciting! Unfortunately most of the cats I’ve known would disagree.
