Father/Daughter relationships with Gold Digger

[q99]

Hello :) I thought I'd share some of one of my criminally under-exposed favorite comics, Gold Digger, with a spotlight on Brianna Diggers and her arch-mage father, Theo Diggers.





Where we last left our heroes...





Ok, not so good. Brianna, as a semi-artificial amalgam of her two sisters, lost her surrogate mother in the same incident that ended in the kidnapping of one of said sisters, and Bri's not happy with her dad Theo's role in not-stopping it, and now they're preparing to travel through a vast, ancient, and massively dangerous labyrinth to help get sister Britanny back.


Cut to a few day later, and they're well on their journey. The rest of the crew decides to stop for the night, but Brianna's not interested in waiting longer than she has to and decides to scout ahead.

As she's the power armor user of the group and somewhat superhuman due to half her DNA coming from her werecheetah sister, this is slightly less insanely risky than it sounds, but still hardly a safe idea.



Oh, caught. Looks like that heart-to-heart is unavoidable now.



OH CRAP!



Maybe going solo in the labyrinth clad only in super-advanced power armor and a giant plasma cannon isn't such a good idea after all.

Still, Brianna isn't the type to let an apparation of her dad trying to eat her face and then turning her own guilt back on her in a decaying shot-up form keep her down for long.



Crap.



Did I mention half-werecheetah?



What the cup?



Another member of the party saves the day- Senadra the ghost, via a combination of telekineticing her beer cup and possessing Brianna takes the psi-kobold master out. You're not always as alone as you think.





And thus concludes the issue.

There's a lot of other cool stuff going on with the other characters, but Brianna and Theo's story used most of the page limit.

(1 page from issue 86 and about 6 1/2 pages from 90, 24 page issues)

Ah I love Gold Digger, such a superb little comic along with Ninja High School.

I'm glad that it continues and continues to move head, it's one comic that keeps evolving instead of maintaining the status quo.

On the one hand, I adore the GD: The Next Generation stuff going on and Irwin's redemption.

On the other, the cast is just so big at this point that I find myself often unable to care about the adventures of characters I've known all of five panels.

But when the man is on, it's fantastic stuff.

It's a tough balance between expanding things and keeping characters in the spotlight enough to be familiar. I figure once the 101 characters have settled in, that'll probably be it for awhile :)

Well, it kinda helps that Fred makes even the most minor characters endearing.

They've been the two reliable pillars of my pull box since I started reading comics ^^

(Lesse... I started with GD and Batgirl. Ninja High School came later for me)

I quit reading comics cold turkey a while back, now I gotta catch up. *lol* Looking good, tho.
