Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those telephone wires, not high voltage?

I think I've seen high-voltage cables/wires in that form. Usually they're ones that feed into small towns or villages.

[up] I wouldn't call them high voltage but those look more or less the same as the power lines in my area (the actual high voltage ones are strung between larger, all metal towers). Then again in Australia 240V compared to the US 110V so what counts as "high" voltage is clearly going to differ.

Maybe this will lead to a revelation that confirms that one theory one of us had about the doctor assigned to her being the actual villain of this arc, having not only allowed the Hostess to escape but manipulated her into the way she's acting now (i.e. believing she's a superheroine, and now complaining about Spinny having been mean to her)? Like, what are the chances that it's actually the Hostess who had been fed the brainwashing cookies by the doctor, instead of the other way around?

That would make more sense.

The circumstances of her release are pretty shady still, yeah. And Hostess is definitely running on her drugs and looks to be even harder on them than she was before.

I’ve recently read the latest book and in the original Hostess story, at least in the book version, she calls herself a superhero

She’s always been deluded in this specific way

Good lord, there would have been less destruction if they’d just let her smash the church

That's assuming that she stopped at the church. Given that the whole neighbourhood has been evacuated, I'm fairly sure that the Hostess will notice that the church is empty and thus will continue her rampage in search of its head priest.

... or this could be where the real story behind her breakout that was so far hidden from both us and the protags is going to be spilled.

Cover of the upcoming issue is out. Seems like the current arc's plot will take an unexpected direction.

Interestingly, the Hostess is not wearing the super-size gizmo in the new cover panel. I suspect we're going to find out what the "unpredictable side-effects" of using it for too long are.

Yeah, in the second link the device is actually showing a "CAUTION" warning, only it's mirrored so the Hostess probably didn't even notice in her haste and momentary frustration clouding her mind.

Page 1 of the new issue. Seems like a small Time Skip happened since last time.

By which ye mean one week [lol]

I mean, ye are factually correct, but aren't like skips of weeks really common in comics?

Maybe, but I was actually expecting a direct continuation, like in previous multi-issue arcs.

Okay, I really would appreciate an explanation soon, because it's really weird seeing Megan so genuinely nice and non-threatening, moreso as a giantess and with Heather not bothering to hide her secret identity.

... Come to think of it, how did Megan learn the secret? I don't remember her knowing about it during her debut story, so either she somehow figured it out in the interim or Heather outed herself to her for some reason after the previous issue in response to Megan crying about Heather being mean to her (which hopefully will be explained in this issue).
