KILLDA is a butch super-strong badass who is OBSESSED, and I mean REAL obsessed with the jewel that gives Seven her abilities. In fact, in my original kiddie Starsearchers stories, Killda does succeed in killing Seven and becomes the next owner of the jewel. (That didn't last long, as the jewel has that "no kill clause" built in; the first time Killda commited murder while in possesion of the jewel, she reverted back to her regular-level super-strength and was slain herself). Later on the jewel was shown once more, worn by a young man who had organized a team of freedom fighters for his home planet.
None of that stuff is happening THIS time, though I am debating on keeping the "no-kill" curse of the jewel...

In the original stories, KRUULER here was Overthink's brother. I'm not convinced I'm going that route in the official all-new all-now version, though it is still possible.
KRUULER is a telekinetic who specializes in using his power to hurl sharp objects (like these throwing stars) into his prey's vitals. He's not very nice.
Oh yeah... he also replaced one eye with that thingie up there, which gives him various other powers (it blasts, has x-ray vision, etc)

So that's our badasses... Kruuler, Killda, Pede, Shadowshade, Slaggar, Infernal, Venoma and Witchery. I'll be excited to see what Dean does with them visually... they will probably show up around issue 4-5...

At some point I will definitely have some fun illustrating the baddies. I have a few Starsearchers errands to tend to to get the first sequence launched. Shouldn't be too much longer.

The trouble with naming them a group of 'assassins' is that it takes the comic violence to a whole nother level. Assassins kill. That's all they do, that's the mission, like, every time. Right?
That's up to you and Dean, of course. I just wanted to make sure that somebody said it, I guess. sigh
The characters themselves are very interesting. ShadowShade is great, the big guy, too. The bug is so buggy! Bugs are just so creepy terrible. Witchery is a kewl name and look. She reminds me a little of a spirit witch in a Shaolin Temple cartoon I used to see a lot. (I've been around so long almost everything reminds me of something! )
I love your creations and series, both of you!

Hi, Shady-- I want to address your concerns. STARSEARCHERS is going to be fun, but these guys are in a huge war with Rexall and there is for sure going to be some nastiness. Omarr's assassins really ARE just that-- killers to the core. Omarr is no Mr. Nice Overlord himself. I just don't want you to be surprised by some of the battle scenes.
As for The Starsearchers themselves, some of them live by a higher moral code than others. I'm still debating keeping the "no-kill" curse of Seven's jewel... I think it would be an interesting problem to saddle a warrior like Seven with, but I also fear it might limit her somewhat.
Anyhoo, readers should fully expect violence in this series, PG-13 level for the most part.
Jackie, Hi! And thank you!! Your stuff is awesome too!
