V19 – Pg31
It Worked!
The Goddess has been freed from her flesh prison… will she be friend or foe?!
If you’ve enjoyed the comic so far, I post upcoming designs and sketches over on my Patreon page. Soon I’ll be uploading the previous issues in PDF format onto there. So why not help the creation of VANGUARD and throw a few quid/bucks into the pot? It all helps keep this comic going.

Manga tentacles aside (yuck!), I love the glowing tips on these! This is a great page of art, Dan. I hope she’s a friendly………..
so have we ever been shown much of what the goddess really is in the story so far?
That she wanted/needed Marion specifically had a lot of people guessing that she was some kind of remnant of, what, Godiva was it? Marion’s aunt, who died with so many other supers on the big day – killed by Maxtreme, if I recall correctly (or was she the one killed with an arrow to the chest? Might have to go back and look now…).
But her newly-demonstrated power set doesn’t match up (AT ALL), so… ???
Also, Luke shouldn’t be having any difficulty with those metal tentacles, unless they are a LOT stronger than just metal.
Well her old power set is definitely whats needed to make this work. Mind control up to the point of pushing the other consciousness away and take full control of the body. Transferring her mind fully (what apparently happened here) might only work on someone related by blood which would explain why it had to be Marion. And Godivas mind in Marions body might have awoken some dormant powers or something. Also the ornaments in Marions face somehow resemble Godivas mask if you ask me. Maybe we gonna see some two minds in one body stuff. (And just for the record, Godiva was the one with arrows in her chest and belly.)
On a sidenote, i think all of the Vanguards are still alive, with some of them already appearing regularly.
Ophelia got her spine crushed by MaXtreme when he punched her through her guts. A broken spine usually leaves you paralyzed. And then there appears Jenny Daly, bound to a wheelchair, claiming shes been at the battle at Downing as a journalist (v15-pg05).
Gradlon got an explodey arrow to the head. So what? Hes a werewolf so he got some pretty strong regeneration (if we go by standard werewolf traits). Just his memory might have suffered a bit. So they took some DNA samples to give Xbow her werewolf army and set Gradlon free with a new alias as Guy Newman. No, that name sure doesnt sound madeup. And Gradlon actually has a human form which was mentioned early on, but not shown (v02-pg20 Pendragon told him to change out of wolf form or he wont fit into the ATV).
I also was wondering from the beginning what Vaughans deal with Guy Newman is. Why does someone as skilled as him look out for a wimp like Guy Newman? Does he know about the (possible) secret identity? And did he get all his skills cause he had to adapt after his AlphaONE enhancement was rejected by his body and he couldnt be Kingsword anymore? I know, that ones pretty farfetched. XD But Im actually curious if something actually turns out to be true, even in the slightest. 😛
I’m really hoping that the next page is her say “It worked!! …. so, how you all doing?” and sitting down to get to know them. Unexpectedness for the lols.
