I also wonder why she brought the Buzzard back from the dead, she wasn't under his control, But she didn't do the same for the thug from the ring, she was under his spell.
My thinking was that Ishtar didn't like the idea of actually killing somebody with sex, so she brought him back. She was the cause of his death (not intentionally though), and she decided she would reverse what she had caused. What she did was actually not that big a feat of magic, as it amounted to a rescucitation, which could have possibly also been done someone wiht CPR. I think successfully taking the Buzzard back from the Underworld required him having a viable body to return to. The thug from Ring of Domination had a broken neck, and that would have been a harder death to reverse.
Also, of course, I wanted the Buzzard available for future stories.

But i won't ask them, i don't want to give away anything from these upcoming installments of Victory City or the adventures of Ishtar 1-8, for those who have not seen them.
Covers are fun to do. Sometimes the cover is a preview of what's in the update (like in Victory City #13, for example). Other times the cover is just a portrait of a character, usually one who appears in the story (like VIctory City #8 and #9). The cover for Adventures of Ishtar #9 is one of the portrait covers (there's no point in the chapter where we see Ishtar sitting on a throne

). I'm just imitating the practices I've observed in some mainstream comics.
I wanted to get the Adventures of Ishtar #9 cover posted in the previews so that people would be assured that the storyline started in that book with Prospero will continue. The next update after Ishtar #9 will probably be Victory City #22, where we'll see what Brickhouse is up to, and also see what Prospero is planning next!
