Commentary: Descendants #36

Descendants #37 'Of A Feather' revisited the character of Elizabeth von Stoker, AKA Freaque, and introduced a new set of characters, the Outliers. It also served as the first issue of Descendants Volume 4: Confluence and, as it happens, the issue least connected with the overall Confluence arc.

So how did these new characters come to be, and how did 'Of a Feather' become so divorced from Confluence? All that and Peter Parker Syndrome under the cut.

Commentary: Issue #46 Post-Game

As mentioned before, I have a long and complicated history with the character of Juniper Taylor (Zero). She was created to be a character vastly different than what she eventually became and escaped a terrible fate purely because I developed a soft spot for her. This in turn led me to constructing one of the series's longest running subplot, namely: Who is Juniper Taylor.

The clues were spread out over nearly three volumes and all led up to a resolution in Descendants #46 “The Juniper Chronicles”, which is impressive for a plot that was something else entirely for most of Volume 1

So what was going to happen, and how did things wind up the way they are now? Find out, under the cut. Warning: Spoilers for Descendants #46
