Finally, I'm back to posting (kind of) regularly!
In case you need some recap, Life (god of life) is Alex and Max's great-great-great-grandfather. They inherited some demigodly powers from him, but Max is the only one who really made use of them. He worked hard for over a year and became a Celestial Manager to service the gods, and now he's teaching his brother how to use magic and his untapped powers.
Also, those mountains in the first panel are real. If you look closely at some recent comics, you might be able to pinpoint Margonsfield... 😉
