Chapter 17, Page 24a: Impossible to Choose

Posted on August 5, 2026 by Brad Guigar

Captain Heroic has a showdown with Countess Influencia, but the former waitress isn't interested in going back to the diner — and she certainly isn't hearing his excuses! She has the city at her feet, and in her book, that's a win!

Fairmount City's top hero sees it differently. There's a big difference between trending and mattering. The Countess may be impossible to ignore... but that also makes her impossible to choose.

If you're in the Columbus area, make plans to stop by the Billy Ireland Library & Museum on August 8th from 1-5 p.m. It's a free event, and I'll be there sketching and signing along with a bunch of my pals from the NCS.

Hey Comics Kids podcast logoBe sure to visit our Patreon page! (patreon.com/heycomicskids ) Max got a LEGO AT-AT (that’s All-Terrain Armored Transport, if you’re ever on Jeopardy!) for Christmas, and it’s the largest LEGO set that he’s put together on his own to date. HE’s super-proud, and he shares his enthusiasm with you over all things Star Wars LEGOS in this episiode.

About the Lego AT-AT

  • Includes 5 with assorted weapons and an accessory: AT-AT Driver, General Veers, Snow trooper Commander and 2 Snow troopers
  • Features a moving head with a cockpit for 2 and 2 spring-loaded shooters, possible legs and an opening body with switch-operated trap door
  • Weapons include a blaster pistol and 3 blaster rifles Also includes an electro binoculars element
  • Measures over 12″ high, 12″ long and 4″ wide

I’m gonna be honest with you — this was a real challenge for Max to assemble. He was determined to do this one without my help. And he got himself backed into a corner more than once. But every time he did, he came and got me for help… we backtracked… and re-built from the last place we were sure of. In the end, the pride on his face was well-worth all of the frustration that went into getting there.
