It's a collection of character flashes rather than an advancing narrative, and has no key turning points to anchor the reader's sense sense of pace. See how I can come out with literary pseudo-jargon to make it sound like I know what I'm talking about? As always, thanks for the feedback --- "I don't need infinite power in my hands. Just confidence in my own abilities." -- James, Heroes issue 35: Thanksgiving 2/7/2006, 9:01 Send Email to David Meadows   Send PM to David Meadows lardboy Evil Genius Global user Registered: 09-2005 Posts: 217 Reply | Quote Re: #35 Synopsis Well, apart from the bit where he finally confirmed his Dad, "...was never Major Democracy!" I really liked the (perhaps unintended?) Foghorn Leghorn reference to chicken hawks on page 9, panel 3. Aye, sod your pseudo literary jargon Dave, I just like cartoon references, ha ha! To illustrate, there's an ace Foghorn quote which could perhaps occasionally (and admittedly cruelly) be applied to Chi-Yun. "Ah say, nice girl, but about as sharp as a bag of wet mice..." Eeeeh, ain't I a stinker? Still, got to agree with Blitzen, it were a bit short. But that's surely cos you're merely setting 'em up for a big fight and/or ambush scene next issue. Cos being a long time comics reader I know it's nearly always disastrous when a team splits, no matter what the reason. Plus I can't think of a better way to screw up Thanksgiving. Couple that with a potential crisis of confidence... So, who's going to get ambushed first? P.S. Did the Major's Mam really have to be called Martha? Ray could have a point there, though maybes I can succeed in distracting her into defending Chi-Yun... 3/7/2006, 13:11 Send Email to lardboy   Send PM to lardboy Ray Oceanweaver Superhero Global user Registered: 04-2003 Location: England, UK Posts: 175 Reply | Quote Re: #35 Synopsis   So... anyone notice something funny about the "replacement" shield? --- Rachel ~The optimist fails as badly as the pessimist, just has a better time of it~ Wings of Rapture - For Writers of Erotica and Romance 3/7/2006, 18:29 Send Email to Ray Oceanweaver   Send PM to Ray Oceanweaver Blog lardboy Evil Genius Global user Registered: 09-2005 Posts: 217 Reply | Quote Re: #35 Synopsis Uuh, nope.
