PANEL 1

SPOOKY JONES

WE STILL HAVE THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE AND THAT CLOAK SHOULD WORK BOTH WAYS. SHE WON’T KNOW I’M HERE.

(cont)

IF I FOCUS ALL MY POWER AND HIT HER WITH EVERYTHING I GOT…

FLYBOY

YOU THINK YOU’LL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO TAKE HER DOWN?

PANEL 2

SPOOKY JONES

NOT IN A MILLION YEARS. BUT I CAN CERTAINLY GET HER ATTENTION WHILE YOU GET THOSE KIDS TO SAFETY.

PANEL 3

CORY

SO, I, UH… I SHOULD GO BACK TO THE CAR, NOW, RIGHT?

SPOOKY JONES

NO. I’M GOING TO HAVE MY HANDS FULL WITH THE PLATINUM PRIESTESS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO KEEP THE CRAZIES AWAY FROM MITCH WHILE HE GETS THE KIDS OUT.

(cont)

THAT’S GOING TO BE YOUR JOB.

PANEL 4

FLYBOY

SPOOKY! NO!

(cont)

WE JUST GOT THROUGH SAYING THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR A SUPERHERO EX-TEAM TO HANDLE, AND CORY HAS ZERO TRAINING!

PANEL 5

IS RIGHT. I CAN BARELY CONTROL MY POWERS. AND THE LAST TIME I USED THEM-

SPOOKY JONES

I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME YOU USED THEM. WE DON’T NEED FINESSE. YOU JUST NEED TO STAY HIDDEN, AND BUY MITCH TIME TO CUT THOSE KIDS FREE AND GET THEM OUT.

(cont)

THE CRAZIES CAN’T DO ANYTHING NEAR WHAT THE PRIESTESS CAN DO, BUT THEY STILL USE MAGIC AND MITCH HAS NO DEFENSE AGAINST THAT.

PANEL 6

CORY

I-I JUST DON’T KNOW

FLYBOY

I’LL BE FINE, SPOOKY! I’LL PUSH SO MUCH SPEED, THEY WON’T EVEN HAVE A TARGET TO ZAP.

(cont)

LET’S JUST DO THIS! WE’RE WASTING TIME!

Why no Platinum Priestess tag?

Hello Klaus! This is Teri, assistant to Alex. I have added the Platinum Priestess tag. Thank you for noticing!

The New Page is up:

Hi everyone….what’s with Disquis….are they afraid someone might get in?

Disqus has always been a little goofy and has gotten even goofier in the past year.
That’s why THE YOUNG PROTECTORS Community has started. It’s at This link: https://community.amwcomics.com/login
That’s https://community.amwcomics.com/login
It’s a free service. Much more versatile and friendlier than Disqus.

Noted……thanks Dave

Hello Campers,
How surprised will the Platinum Priestess be on the next page and will she spoil that “peaches and cream” complexion with anger lines and hate wrinkles?

LOL I doubt it…..she seems more like shoot first stress later…..much later.

I don’t think she stresses at all. She doesn’t seem to have a conscience.

True…..by “Much later” I was thinking in centuries.

Lol!

Hey Dave.

Hi there!

I think this is the best plan Spooky can come up with in the situation they r in. I’m a bit worried about the crazies using magic against Mitch & Cory. That might make the mission impossible. We will see…

And very soon. 🙂

Why does corey look like a younger version of Spooky?

Dark hair, rounded face, but that’s pretty much it.

They also dress a bit alike.

Wonder if Mitch has a type… dark and fluffy

Hero worship? We’ve already seen Cory fanboying a little.

There’s that for sure! 😁

Random thought: If the ritual that the Platinum Priestess and her cultists are currently carrying out is simply an ad-hoc plan B that’s been thrown together on short notice, then it’s likely that the bad guys don’t have much in the way of resources to put into defence. A quick and hard attack by Spooky and co. might be enough to win the day.

If, on the other hand, the Priestess was sneaky and had the foresight to prepare this ritual as a fallback plan even before the Laampros Hellgate incident, then she may have put more resources aside which are available for defence, and things may be very hard for the good guys.

Indeed, good thinking!

But it will be interesting to see whether and how far she may still be affected by partial amnesia due to her de-aging.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if she had in fact foreseen that (ahem) wrinkle and taken advance precautions, contrary to Duncan whom she may have kept in the dark to neutralize him as competition after the fact…! 🤔

She is a dangerous villain, after all, and to her Duncan was still an unexperienced boy by comparison, even as an adult of a mere few decades of age…!

Good thinking all around, Saxon and NoiseShaper. It’s really fun to read your speculation on this page.

Welcome to the deep end of the pool, Cory.

Pay no attention to what sounds like Flyboy’s chattering teeth, for that MUST be an auditory illusion caused by the spell. Right?

That’s my story, and I’m sticking with it. 🙂

Cory will be directly involved? EEEEK! However, what a powerhouse to have in the corner! I don’t doubt that he could hold all the “extras” all by his lonesome. PP will be very busy with Spook’s!

Spooky shares your point of view.

Cory’s powers will be involved, one way or another. The Power of Plot compels it! Besides, otherwise, he won’t have that story-essential closure of either embracing or rejecting his power!

Cory might not like the way you think, but I do.

” an old love charm he said. No danger he said “

“Come out to the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs…”

LMBO!

Well, based on past examples Spooky is a good judge of character and gives great pep talks (cf his talk with Red Hot after the warehouse incident in YP:EngagingTheEnemy). If he thinks Cory is capable of pulling this off, then I expect the next page we’ll see him talk Cory around – for a successful outcome overall.

He knows, and knew, Kyle very well. He hardly knows Cory at all.

Good thinking, Saxon. But very good point, Klaus. 🙂

Don’t be Chicken Cory! go on and risk your life!

Well. . ., He is a YP potential member, yes?

p r o t r a c t e d . . . s u s p e n s e . . . ! ! !

i s … m y … m i d d l e … n a m e …

I’m running out of ways to say that you have prodigiously serious skills. Awards should be falling in your lap, Alex Protracted Suspense Woolfson!

Thank you, Jay. 🙂

I really hope Cory can stay out of it somehow…..
stares hard at Alex

I hope he can’t

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

LOL… I know this isn’t nice, pointing out writing errors, but that was the best reply ever to it xD

jfc I edited sth and totally missed that x’D edited it now, killing the joke but damn, epic indeed xD

D:
let’s at least not have any casualties >/////< stares even harder at Alex

Again, I ask, what could possibly go wrong? These are trained heroes. And they’ve fought The Platinum Priestess before.

Well, ok, two out of three are trained. And the last time they fought The Platinum Priestess, she nearly killed both Flyboy and Spooky.

But other than that, this should be a walk in the park, right?

Now you’re just teasing us XD

I love you for this one

Hum. May not work. The staring I mean. Alex see’s the need for Cory’s power to pull all of those (acolytes?) away from what Spooks and Mitch are doing. He has the potential to be a real game changer.

he has even more potential though to make it end in a disaster. There are good and valid reasons mentioned by Cory and Mitch. Taking the risk might not be the best option they have, just the first popping up in Spooky’s head.

Cory appreciates your staring and hopes very much that I will find it convincing.

This is quite the hero training start for Cory. Thrown into the deep end of the pool. What a ‘baptism’.
Never jinx an ‘easy’ trip again xD

Spooky does show faith in Cory here. Much more than Mitch or Cory himself do. That last loss of control freaked them both out. Time to get some self-belief back.

I feel like Spooky is much more willing to put his faith in young or new people than the others. His personal experience is surviving in hell for a year by himself, with no memories, learning magic on the fly. He’s got zero doubt that they will develop the skills they need under fire.

You’re right about Spooky here, Madock. Good insight.

Whether Spooky is right about Cory, well, we’ll just have to see.

Wow! And, again, I will compliment the artists for their fine work!

Adam and Vero are really knocking this chapter out of the park.

Wait until we get to the action scenes… 😀

Cory’s confidence has taken quite the blow. Poor thing. I wonder whether it’s going to recover or get worse.

We shall soon see.

Let us hope that removing just one victim will disrupt the ritual.

Not like PP wouldn’t kill the rest out of pure spite.

I’m a bit worried, Spooky can’t sense whatever magic she has up, and last Ritual she put her sacrifices in an impenetrable box with an auto-timer because she’s thorough like that. I feel like they’re missing something.

Some really good thoughts from both of you on this.

Mitch, I love you but a little extra distraction never hurt anyone.

Cory, you can do this! Just keep the debris away from Mitch and the kids! I have faith in you!

If only Cory had faith in himself…

I don’t know whether to thank you or slap you for that blatant refference. Lets go with both.

I feel like I’m missing something

Refference is to the song:
The Clash – Should I Stay Or Should I Go?
The refference is in his commentary, not hhe comic.

That song played a big part of my childhood. 🙂

What could possibly go wrong with that…? 🤔

I wonder what the range on Fluke’s luck is lol

I wonder how much the others keep an eye on Fluke. “Oh no! Fluke just found his pen the first place he looked. What is going to go wrong now?”

They keep more of an eye on this than any of them would care to admit.
