Sacrifice

Orbiter blowed up, no engines, falling out of control to earth below. Cold Knight passed out, and the Contortion saves the day after Major Catastrophe did his bit.

Which ends in partial tragedy, as both of them perish saving their teammates.

In comics, it is often the story that the heroic actions of the characters combine to save them all, nobody suffers any losses, and they all live to tell the tale. Real life tends not to work that way, so I thought the Danger Team might be much the same. Not unlike Danger Team 1999, they do everything right, as superheroes- but it doesn’t save them.

Yet it does save countless civilian lives- which is the overall theme of superheroes- those with power helping the powerless.

It’s a theme, that is hopefully reverberating throughout the story.

Again, sorry we’re late, but we’re getting back on schedule slowly but surely.

ED’S NOTES

So. Did Sabrina deliver, or what? I mean, team effort all the way sure, but our illustrious Writer/Editor really went hard with the feels, yeah?

In this page, there was a LOT of emotion and gestures that just flew under the radar. Panel 1 for example, the Contortion more or less looking at his best friend in a really vulnerable spot and steeling himself to try and save them. Then not making it, so that panel becomes two friends saying goodbye in a pretty emotional way.

The Major suffocating on the back of the shuttle debris, but still guiding it all to safety.

Then a happy ending, right?

WRONG. 

I’d like to think that I did some fine work here emoting through gestures and facial expressions. If you felt it in any of those panels, then yes. I did.
