#I’m intrigued by the gender politics of this
#as Black Venus this character is essentially taking on the role of an official pilot
#while her tracking down the body of this pilot and then vowing revenge for his death has a romance framing
#I think it’s also a kind of narrative that’s commonly used for ‘brothers in arms’-type characters
#her competence as a pilot also wasn’t questioned in last issue’s story by the other characters
#and there and here it’s not being remarked upon that she flies well for a woman in the narration
#I like that Black Venus cries when she finds the body and then directs those feelings into
#‘I’ll get him for this- I’ll kill him if it’s the last thing I do!’
#also the Agent X that murdered the pilot is revealed to be a woman
#when Black Venus learns this she’s really startled
#and Agent X says ‘Don’t let that deceive you! I can still defeat you!’
#she does not actually as Black Venus succeeds in murdering her
#also it seemed to me that this pilot was not the same primary love interest from the first story that stood out from all the other pilots
#so I was thinking that Black Venus' civilian job as a U.S.O. girl would give her a revolving door of love interests
#but then at the end of this story she dramatically declares that because of this pilot’s death
#‘From now on no matter how many people are around me I will always be alone!’
#/if/ they actually maintain that she’s swearing off romance then that would be an interesting conflict with her job
