Speaking of Magellan USA…: We leave Magellan Island for a few short pages to look in on Magellan USA, half an hour ago.
As you may recall, this super team, normally found on the East Coast of the United States, is currently In Southern California investigating what went wrong over at Jupiter. They were last seen talking to Force Magellan via vid-link on pages 7.36-38.
Just a quick reintroduction to the characters… Liberator and Twilight in panel 2. Then we get Greyhound and Glom in panel 4, with Flambé along with Maestro and Battlestar there in the last. Twilight is a telepath, and we were largely introduced to her abilities in Redux but she played a major part in Lock(e)down. Greyhound is a speedster who we’ve seen in Dr Spooky & The Case of the Missing Corpse and, of course, Legacy. No specific pages as they’re kind of throughout. The whole team has an extended cameo in Locke(e)down – see from page 6.113. Flambé was actually the first to be introduced, in a cameo with Dr Spooky, way back in Bad Karma – see page 4.119.
Patreon: By the way, should it be a thing that interests you, my Magellan patrons over at Patreon have been getting full previews three updates ahead of schedule. And you can too for as little as $1 a month… 😎
Next update: Sunday October 19: Co-operation revoked.
Someday Glom will get sick and tired of being ignored.
Is Twilight the leader of the team? I’m not sure one has ever been officially established.
It’s Liberator: http://magellanverse.com/comic/offence/
I always enjoy seeing Magellan USA show up. Could be that I’m an American…
No, it’s definitely Glom. Glom is the greatest. All hail Glom.
Glom Hugs!
Glom gives the best hugs.
America has always been friendly to skilled immigrants.
So, yes, Glom is the greatest, all hail Glom.
“Friendly” isn’t the word I’d use for it . . .
“Willing to exploit” might be a bit too wordy, though.
For some reason, I keep thinking that Prometheus HQ looks like a bunch of paper towel rolls.
I can see it as toilet paper. They just got over-zealous in preparing for the pandemic.
Not my best architectural rendering…! It’s meant to be glass… but I can certainly see the toilet roll.
If you ever go mainstream it will be a total gift to Blue Peter teaching kids how they can make their own Magellan (Prometheus) playset out of common household junk.
I always forget approximately where Magellan Island actually is. I mean in the sense of if it’s in the Pacific or the Atlantic and about what time zone. Are they ahead of California so it’s morning or mid-day on the island and near the end of the day in California? Or the other way around?
“Force Magellan is based on a Pacific island. Almost 100 square kilometers in size, the island was named Magellan Island. Its exact location remains a secret from the world at large, although its actual existence does not.”

Pretty sure it’s in the Pacific, although its exact location hasn’t been specified.

And who wants to bet the power disruptor tech was actually made by these guys >_>
And by those guys I mean Prometheus corp
Soooo, Prometheus was also compromised?
Or perhaps they have their own reasons to be dicks.
However, being overrun by Rarg is certainly a possibility. Whoever named that company sure knew what was up…
I wonder how though. The Rarg were said to have some telepathic ability, but mostly for reading minds, not controlling them. Some troops might have hitched a ride on the gas teleporter, which presumably connected to a Prometheus facility, but it seems out of character for them to do a covert infiltration instead of just attacking.
Well, they certainly seem to prefer the direct approach, but they also seem to want to attack with advantage, and they’re not above using their telepathic abilities to Manufacture an advantage *as evidenced by their attack on Mars in the original timeline*
