Yeah, I was worried there for a second until I remembered that Heather wears a wig when in costume. In fact only showing her hair is almost too obvious...maybe it'll be a Double Subversion.

(Or maybe Glass is using that wig to ambush MM.)

... Does Spinny have any measure of Super-Toughness? She has to, in order to complement her Super-Strength, right?

Someone in the comments mentioned a time when she got thrown out of her apartment window and landed on a car. The car was destroyed, Spinny walked away smiling. Now I'm going to have to actually look for that incident.

Slammed herself into a wall, George of the Jungle-style. No serious damage. Some level of regeneration/fast healing.

[down]Looks like the car bit was on the last page of the preview.

I think the car bit was in one of the side comics you have to pay for.

But she's got a fair bit of super toughness, dunno if she could live through getting a building dropped on her head though

So it could be that she really is under the rubble, but next strip will show her bursting out through the broken concrete chunks, almost out of breath, with only bruises, relatively shallow cuts, Clothing Damage, maybe a dislocated arm/elbow or three, and perhaps a light concussion.

[up] She didn't get a building dropped on her head. Only pieces of the roof.

I miss Sahira.

I wonder what level healing Spinny's considered to have. That could be used to determine the level Colonel Glass has.

Spinny lives, old guy lives, everybody lives!

Except maybe the professor, and Glass but I bet he lives.

Of course Glass would be still alive; he's the Big Bad, you can't off him in a completely ignonimous way like that so early in the issue. And I'd be surprised if Dr. Lambha died from that; I'm getting the impression that the author has some important role in store for him, somehow.

Is panel one more of SD for Maid or just a slight Art Shift?

Neither, IMHO. Seems more like the angle of her face's direction.

The fabric frills on her costume really hide how petite she is. Is this to make herself look bigger and more imposing or just so her padded out form is more distinct from the little girl in the chair?

Glass still has to go after Dr Universe so he and Greta can fight and he can beat her so Spinny and Mecha Maid and Tiger can Enemy Mine Big Damn Heroes and they can all team up with Super MILF and curbstomp Glass into oblivion.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

[up]That's about the only thing I can think of besides wanting to convince Mecha Maid to stop using high-explosive weaponry in a public building. One or the other, I guess.

Alternatively, he heard the explosion and falling debris from his post (he's the lab's security guard, remember?) and run as fast as he could, and the last panel is him just acting any cop or security guard who hasn't seen who is in there, but isn't about to take any chances by peeking first, and instead points the gun at the first person that he glimpses and orders them to freeze, just in case they're the culprit. In this case, I expect the next page would be him doing a brief Double Take as he realizes he's trying to holding up a pair of known superheroes, and then lower his weapon.

And then they shoot him and it turns out they're the villains, and the whole series has been a ruse, heroism covering up for future evil action.

First people that he glimpses and have possibly overheard loudly arguing about explosives a moment before.

You're assuming that he was eavesdropping from behind cover before entering, or overheard them clearly. He could've just arrived at the very tail end of the conversation, and in his understandably "oh shit, a supervillain just trashed the place big time!" state of mind, wasn't exactly paying attention to whatever words he managed to hear, falling back on drilled instinct/reflex instead. Alternatively, there's probably a lot of ceiling debris or broken walls/supports still falling apart in that large chamber, so the noise could have distorted/masked the two girls' conversation from him.

We sure that he was a South Korean soldier? Maybe he's a (now retired) US Marine or Delta Force operative of Korean ancestry who was simply serving an assignment with the US forces in Korea back in the day, and tagged along with the South Korean troopers to assauge the US military/government's worries about North Korea pulling something in the prisoner release?
