Ok hands up I admit I did the research, but then used language I thought would have optimum effect. But I certainly enjoyed reading your review. Okay, give me a D-. Must do better next time.

Cheers,

Jim

Excellent untangling of the dialysis issues. As much as it frustrates me when other media gets comics wrong (”biff! pow! zam!!”), we should also strive for realism in our comics.

I’m impressed the artist even bothered to use a reference photo. Have you SEEN some of the “wheelchairs” they put Barbara Grodon into?? Totally DWNR (”drawn with no reference”).

To defend the colourist of the cover, I think Huntress went back to costume that didnt leave her tummy open. Seeing as her boss has been shot to the stomach and she herself is only walking because kevlar of earlier costume protected her tummy from bullet, I didnt really understand the point of that earlier costume.

Browsing thru #91, I think the artist didnt realize the costume change, and the colourist was covering up for him. In #89, the costume is clearly drawn so that the stomach isint visible. In #91, there is some inclination that artist meant the belly to be seen…

This is not the first time Colourist colours the costumes otherway than invisioned by the artists. Sometimes because artist isint up to status quo, sometimes because the colourist isint. In Deadly Genesis, colourist does Beast’s clothes even thought he isint wearing them; in flashbacks artist and colourist are clearly doing doing to bring worth different set of uniforms &c &c..

Yeah, I know, very geeky. Thanks for great blog!
