Luci is being dragged away with a confused look on her face. Directly over her right shoulder is Amaterasu (described in #3 as "sappy", crying at free-range egg adverts etc...), directly over her left shoulder is Laura. Amaterasu dressed in a white dress, Laura in a black (okay, maybe grey) T-shirt.
If I may start "posturing with a Wikipedia summary's understanding of myth", the traditional angel/demon dynamic has the angel on the right shoulder, and the demon on the left. Maybe this is a coincidence - but then again - this is WicDiv, and the shoulders belong to Lucifer...
Nowhere in the narration in #2 or #3 does it seem to rule out this theory (that Laura caused the explosion of the Judge's head). Of course Laura in her dialogue with other characters is searching for whodunnit, but as Laura herself says about lying, "people do that".
So, Laura is in the courtroom. She has the opportunity in the sense that IF she somehow has powers, she could have done it. Also, there doesn't seem to be anything to completely disprove that she did it. (This isn't looking like a very good theory).
Regarding whether Laura has powers, if this theory is correct, then she clearly is not somehow harbouring some secret undercover God agenda. She genuinely loves the Gods, and also, when she is Googling about them, it's not exactly like she has a vast knowledge of the secrets of the Pantheon. She has to look at Wikipedia for Ananke etc...
In #1 there are some possible allusions to Laura being a God. With the 1-2-3-4, and a possible moment where she is the last to pass out, and Luci wakes her up with "Aren't you the oh-so-special one". But if she does have the power to blow up the head of a judge, she doesn't seem to know it. As I mentioned before, this could be something to do with the strange nature of becoming a God, what part of you is the God? How much of the old 'you' exists? There could be some sort of internal struggle here.
Okay, so i'm talking myself out of this. The one thing I come back to is that last page of #1, "But apart from me, who was going to believe her?". Amaterasu is right there, why wouldn't Amaterasu also believe her? Why does everybody, including Luci, flinch/dive/recoil when the head goes boom, but Laura is there with hands-over-mouth, in a pose that could be saying "WTF did I just do?".
I'm undecided on whether this theory has any merit. There are some moments in #1 that seem a little suspect to me, as if they are carefully crafted to leave Laura as our innocent narrator, but read in a different way can mean something completely different. BUT it does maybe seem a little 'much'. What I am probably picking up on mainly is the idea of Laura's obsessive fandom being close to making her a God anyway? A lot of the comic is about this fandom - and whilst Laura probably doesn't actually have the power to blow up people's heads, she is still special, and often sees her fandom as special. So when she puts herself in the position of the only one who is going to believe Luci, it doesn't necessarily have to be in the "i'm the only one who will believe her, because I did it" way, but more that, she is committed and believes so much more in Luci and anybody else possibly could?
