I’ve put a bit of thought into that whole brain damaged thing and I’m not sold on just how addled he really was, at least from a tumor eating his brain standpoint. Shaken to the core of his confidence…sure. Pissed off, scared out of his head…absolutely. And I fully agree I think the test was probably a bit harsh, at least based on human standards of what’s right and wrong. But then you gotta look at it from the larger perspective. You entrust these guys with power unlike anyone else around, make them for all intents and purposes gods among their people. Don’t you want that fail safe there, just in case you made the wrong choice, or at some point the absolute power corrupts absolutely? Earth is in a unique position with these aliens because of several factors that we’ll deal with down the road in Dynagirl, but they watch us closely because of these things.

Now for me personally, I do have days where I feel bad for Ben, but I fall back on what it means to be a hero, and I think that element of self-sacrifice truly has to be rooted in place to really define someone as a hero to the point we need our supers to be. If a guy wouldn’t die to save just one person let alone the whole world, he’s no real hero in my book. Ben made choices he thought were good ones, and I love the guy for going to his grave with them, maintaining his conviction that he was right no matter what went down, but in the end he was more selfish than heroic, and it cost him big time.

Honestly, in the end I think it’s the twisted way things turned out that left almost every single character in the book with unresolved feelings and doubts about everything, including how they themselves feel about being a hero. Dynagirl could have kept on with the hero game even with the kid had her faith not been so profoundly shaken. But that was the whole point. Ben changed the entire landscape with his actions, for good or for ill…I guess time will tell.

Glad you dug the story though!

I have been reading Dynagirl and yesterday I thought I’d better take a look at the backstory. Today I have read through them. Good timing, since you finished posting these comics nine days ago.

Wow. I mean… wow. Just… what can I say? From reading Dynagirl, I already knew that both art and story would be top-notch. I was still amazed.

I think the Justice test was grossly unfair though. Ben had brain damage from the tumor. That means he was no longer the person he used to be. Maybe the Theta of a year ago would have passed the test with flying colours, but with brain mangled, he couldn’t. Unfair.

Also, all the collateral damage from this failed Justice test was horrible. The Justices set him up, knowing things could end this way. I refuse to call them heroes. Do you hear me, Justices? You are not heroes!

*Kerri* could endure, I man. Oy vey, my butterfingers.

Anyway, its interesting, too, that for all Ben’s worry about Kerri, she has the strength to carry on, the faith to believe that things can right themselves, that he lacks. “We’ll figure it out, okay? We always do.”

Poor Ben.

I’ve said before when we discussing Ben’s solution that he failed a test. I’ve been thinking about that since then, and I realize the crucial problem he had was his despair. Ben couldn’t see a good outcome if he wasn’t there to ride herd on everything. It wasn’t possible that Jerri could endure without him, that the world, while benefiting from his presence, did not absolutely require it for everything to turn out okay.

That’s the kind of thinking that creates tyrants; the idea that nothing can be right if you aren’t in control.

Hell of a story.

Great Story Cary! I enjoyed going through it with you. I am purchasing the series now! Oh there is an add for a kickstarter comic (to the left of my screen). For a project called the patriot. Its about a super hero that finds out he is going to die and decides that the best way to fix things before he does so is to kill all the bad guys. Uh isin’t that story call “Falling Justice” (without Dynagirl)? Dude, you may need to get your legal department involved…
