Actually, no. Perseus was able to slay Medusa by looking at her reflection – so apparently the reflection doesn’t have the same power as looking directly at her!
“With help from Athena and Hermes, who supplied him with winged sandals, Hades’ cap of invisibility, a sword, and a mirrored shield, he accomplished his quest. The hero slew Medusa by looking at her reflection in the mirror instead of directly at her to prevent being turned into stone.”
I love the way the snakes are constricting the “curlers!” I suppose they get to snack on ‘em once her ‘do is done?

I wondered how she got those lucious waves. Too bad the curlers last only once.

I would of thought it was dangerous, being who she is, to look in a mirror

Yup, she should have turned to stone herself. After all, this was how she was defeated.
but then again, it’s just a comic. :-)
