Oh, there was supposed to be text on this comic. Oddly enough, given the dramatic weight of the events, I thought it worked pretty well in silence.
When one was published before without the text, I read it (if that's the word) and didn't even notice.
Erin may not have an objection to mind control per se, just to having it used to put people she likes under the control of people she doesn't.
This is absolutely true, and I accept that her judgement has been fundamentally impaired. But it still feels to me like an abuse of trust and it still jars. The problem, perhaps, is that Jakob's victims are necessarily presented as just that - victims of something serious and terrible. And Miriam was a very young victim who put her trust in Erin. Plus, this bit of meddling clearly would not have been endorsed by Adrian (at the time) - and both Dani and Erin knew that, so they're not even very good mind-controlled slaves.
And of course, in any case, I have to see the mind control as a bad thing in order to derive any pleasure from it.
