I think this one will hurt and not the good kind. I wont be surprised if he goes to the ER for burns treatment, if he doesn’t then the zapping was over dramatized fluff, for WoW factor.
Wow! There are so many ways this story can go. Will Mysta be arrested for assault? Will she claim self-defense? Will she sue Alldid? And how will the collector get involved? There’s a lot of potential here. Let’s hope they don’t squander it.
Oh, and how did y’all like Alldid’s expression in panel 2? Joe and Shelly gave us a truly creepy face. He sure thinks he’s God’s gift to women, doesn’t he?
1-HORNY: I may be dressed like a Dominatrix but that’s on you! I’m not into that scene.
2-VERA SIMILITUDE: Come on baby. Gimme just a little taste. I’ve been such a BAD BOY!
3-HORNY: HAVE IT YOUR WAY WEIRDO! Oops. Looks like I blasted him to atoms. I always get confused between VOLTS and AMPS. It’s the AMPERAGE I need to turn down – not the VOLTAGE! Oh well. Try to remember for the next guy I Zap. Whew. Better get some Sport Drink. That really depleted my electrolytes!
The book signing/promotional tour has come to a shocking if predictable close. Vera has been put in his place once again. Mysta does not suffer fools gladly. The collector, Mr. Archival, does not know or care about such shenanigans. He collects. He has a big poster and a “better idea.”
She’s a menace who can’t be trusted in tense situations not to misuse her powers. I pity the fool who cuts in front of her in the Dollar Tree checkout line!
So, as a result of this rejection, is Vera going to do something awful to “Mars Maid” in his strip that’s going to arouse the ire of Mr. Archival, who will then try to kill Vera to avenge Mysta?
Can this be the end of Vera Alldid/Vile Alldone, shock theater fans?
I could hope he was sufficiently toasted that he’d never, ever dare to lay hands on a woman after being told “No!” again. I could hope he spends some time in a hospital and gets to reflect on his criminal behavior. Maybe if Mysta were to file a criminal complaint he could even serve some jail time!
What we seem to have is a fitting climax to Act One. Now, on to further nefarious deeds! LouisWysocki had an interesting idea just a Comment or two above this one that proposes one possible way to tie in Archival….

Well, the inevitable has finally happened — ZAP! Mysta can “live a little” just fine without you, Vera Alldid!

And yet another chapter in the never ending story of “Some Folks Just Gotta Learn The Hard Way” with another chapter starring Vera Alldid.

Okay. So Vera’s character is not being reformed. It does not appear that Mike is pairing Mysta and Alldid. (Though, who knows?)
And Mysta once again has to discharge upon him.
Question: Can she kill with her powers? (Don’t see why not)
Is this heading toward a Perry Mason type reveal? (Where the murderer was, in fact, the victim of the boor)
Bottom line: I’ve lost count of the weeks and this is the first action we’ve seen in this arc.
And still no crime. Except, maybe, loss of time.

I knew this was bound to happen. Alldid is simply too stupidly self-absorbed to know when to take no for an answer.

Mystra goes to Tracy who refers her to Liz and Lee. She files a report of Sexual Harassment. Then they send her over to Special Victims Unit.
