523 | Another One Bites the Dust

Yep. You pretty much explained it. I hope people don’t think I’m a jerk when I say it.

I love making the comic, and I would totally do it for a living if I could. But since I can’t print my own money, it really comes down to the fans.

NOOOOOOOOO!
I liked Callisto D:

how dare you, to subject that little guy to irony would destroy us all!

I, on the other hand, feel quite sorry for Callisto.  The particular timing of the situation makes it particularly tragic… the Satellites were coming to the realization that their ally was just as heartless and quite a bit more sadistic than the G.E.F.  A bit more time, and they might have called off their alliance.

And I think the sacrifice here says a great deal more about who Callisto is, rather than worrying about whether Naveed is worth saving or whether it was the right thing to do.  Betrayed by their own people to the G.E.F. and then betrayed by the G.E.F. in the bargain to save their people, I imagine that the Satellites don’t break their word easily.

Is she the kind of person who would, in the split second she had to react, risk her neck to save a friend, no matter how estranged they are at the moment?  Seems so…  Does her gender have something to do with her getting fatally wounded?  Quite possibly…  as last time I checked, men are generally lacking in the maternal instincts department.  It’s not to say that the men wouldn’t have jumped in the way, but they might not have made it in time without the protective impetus.  It’s all the more lamentable when you realize that Naveed is far less likely to do the same for anyone except Gunnar, let alone someone as selfless as Callisto.

And yes, without Callisto, I’m sure the other Satellites will be a lot less… Jovial. =9

Aw come on not her… I can’t even tell how little rock guy will react

The irony is in the water-wielding Satellite being killed by her own element. If it were Gannymede there wouldn’t be anything ironic about it… except for the page’s title.

I will never forget Callisto :( IMO Probably the most beautiful woman in this comic….and coming from a redhead lover like me, that says something xD

(*Opens his diary* Dear Diary…..Have the Aquarians not actually have killed Callisto. I mean, they control water, and this IS their planet….and we see her flung into the water, which while a Disney death, also allows for the possibility of return…So maybe they nurse her back to health/heal her, since they’re psychic…? Well diary, what I’m trying to get at here is…*inhale* PLEASE GIMME BACK MY BEAUTIFUL CALLISTO! HAVE HER MAKE A DEUS EX MACHINA RETURN! WAAAAAH T_T)

welp
That sucked. I was introduced to this comic via an ad with her on it. Had no idea what it was for, but followed it anyway. Kinda bums you out finding out she was a side character and killed off without any real development.

There has to be a freezing water breaking the jugs joke there, but I’m too sad to solidify it.

Poor alien Katara…

Ouch.

Aye, Callisto, the places you’ve been to, the things that you’ve shown us, the stories you tell. Aye, Callisto, I sing to your spirit! You’ve given us drama so long and so well.
