The woman who would be #121.

The great tragedy of the Kid is the fleeting passage of his summons, knowing they'll never return again. I think most of them leave the campaign a better place for their presence, but none as much as Juliet, my favorite of the summons thus far. Juliet's story came perfectly timed, a crucial bit of patchy history that informs the nature of Starsa and the Star Sapphires, as well. I enjoyed translating one literature's great icons into a DC Comics world, and I felt that she was one of my better-written characters, despite her limited tenure in the story. I think, for me, Starsa introducing her form of kissing for the first time, a nuzzling, jingling buzz, was something that could only be done with Juliet. Starsa felt a natural kinship to this Sapphire that never was, and Juliet was such a lilting, easily overwhelmed figure that in combination, the two seemed naturally primed for one another. Juliet's story of tragedy also became I think tinged with even more sadness, knowing that Starsa was only scant hours away from washing away the untenable situation Juliet found herself in. Nevertheless, Juliet remains proud of her decision, this reality's narrative one that isn't just a little bit brave, a little defiant, a death meant to do more for the Capulets and Montagues than Shakespeare would admit in his retelling of events. Anyways, I think Juliet is the high point of Kid Summons, and I hope she serves as the template for a number of exciting summons in the months to come.

And I will admit, writing in iambic pentameter for a week was a hell of a lot of fun.

We're back to #75, and someone is losing a character in the bottom half of their draft board.
