Thank you for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

We've only seen "transition Maximillia" once before, and at the time, I managed to not turn that flashback into a whole long side-story. I'm sure I could do 40 pages on that period of her life, no problem. But don't worry, this is just another quick flashback. 

This page takes place a few weeks after the page 415 flashback. At this point, Max had spent some time staring into a mirror, and decided that the gold stuff under her skin was kind of cool looking, and while all the doctors still didn't have any evidence based theories about what was going on, they had mostly agreed that she wasn't suffering from some sort of fatal heavy metal poisoning, nor were her skin or organs calcifying. On top of all that, after a brief initial fever, Max didn't feel sick, and in fact was starting to feel really healthy. Like, accidentally ripped a door clear off its hinges healthy. 

Man, I really need to find some time to go back and post slightly larger versions of the old pages. They're 643px wide, and at some point I did a minor site update that let me post the comics at 750px. It helps with the text if nothing else. Of course if I do that, I'll be tempted to go in and fix little bits of art, like Maxima's oddly manly golem face. Also teen Max's shoulder in that first panel is not the shoulder of a beanpole cross country runner. It would just take a little nudge with the liquefy tool to fix it, but that's a trap. Her tank top in the reflection is all part of the same layer, and I'd have to separate them and fill in the bits left blank from the smaller shoulder, and now instead of a 2 minute fix, it's 10 minutes, and while I'm at it, I think Deus's head is too big and now I'm spending an hour on each page and there's 1400 of them. I could probably resist the urge to fix most stuff due to time constraints, but there are definitely some panels that are just bad. So we'll see about posting enlarged versions of the pages.
