Today is “Pick on the New Warriors” Day

New Warriors #22 “Nothing But the Truth, part one”
If Chord is breathing through a tracheostomy, why does he need a nasal cannula (and an incorrectly drawn one at that)?
New Warriors #25 “Nothing But the Truth, part four”
Sodium Thiopental, also known as Pentothal, is a barbituate best known as a “truth serum.” It is most commonly used in medicine to induce anesthesia. The maximum dose is around 100MG (depending on the patient’s weight and age. Frail little old ladies are on the lower side of the dosing schedule).
In other words, Silhouette has just delivered a dose of Sodium Thiopental at least twenty times higher than the maximum dose. Despite what Night Thrasher states in the next panel (not shown — find your own copy), that is a lethal dose. Nice going Silhouetter, you just poisoned your own grandmother (though to be fair, she did try to blow you up a few issues earlier).
Both issues were written by Fabian Nicieza and penciled by Mark Bagley

That’s…a woman?
Also, I’d be worried about that very large needle (spike?) going directly into the spine.

How does the tip of an apparently solid steel needle ‘hold’ 2 grams of anything?

Hey…I actually own these issues! Its a mmeh storyline, but still enjoyable. And yeah, I always thought something as off about that last panel.

If someone injects a potent anesthetic into you, do you really scream in agony?

Also to be fair, from what I remember, the drugs had like zero long-term effects on her…
