Everyone looks like they are super elastic (besides Reed) because no facial feature seems to sit quite right (maybe the line thickness?). Mostly the "not quite front" shots of the faces.

But yeah I guess they are "expressive", if a bit play-doughie.

e: On second look, no it's plain bad.bad in a warm fuzzy way that makes me smile, but a really poor fit for this particular sort of issue (heroes dead, poo poo is poo poo etc).


Would probably fit something like X-Static a lot better (and change the meh-colorist).

Man, I knew it was reminding me of that one!

It's so good the artist used it twice, three pages apart.



(The eyebrows are different and he added a crease above and below the mouth and heavier ink to the throat!)

e: Lots of tiny changes on closer inspection, mostly inking though (no inker credited, so I assume the artist went over the same base picture again)


To be fair, this is more effort than most artist go to when reusing art. Most of them would just fill up 1 page with the same face with different words over it.

There's no inker credited at all, and Quinones is also credited as a second colorist :iiam:
Rainier Beredo is the main colorist.

I assume all the inking is Quinones.

I'm probably being pedantic, but it really bugs me that Reed's speech goes into a box in that one panel, even though it still takes place in the same room, and then Reed's followup words are in a balloon again. What? Why?

The blue box is the end of the Reed flashback, the speech balloon is Tony at Cap's funeral.

They did a TV crossover and they fought to a standstill. Of course in real life, the result would be a Burt Ward shaped smear on the floor...

Bruce Wayne: Thank heavens it was sent on Beta. Whoever sent this was clearly on my intelligence level, as we both have successfully predicted that Betamax will win the upcoming technological competition.


There you have it folks. Batman, the Worlds Greatest Detective. But not so much when it comes to adoption of technology. The scene where Batman has to spend thousands getting rid of his Batman HD-DVD drives and replacing them with Blu-Ray drives is pretty grim.

Edit: On second viewing, the cassette being put into the machine is clearly a VHS tape and not a Betamax one. As can be seen here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betamax

The Worlds Greatest Detective ladies and gentlemen.

Could be a poorly-drawn Betacam (the evolved pro version of Betamax) tape, as shown at top here:



The Fuji one is VHS, and the other one is consumer Betamax. I wouldn't put it past the Riddler to hijack a cable news studio to make his videos. Or Bruce Wayne to have a TV-studio VCR. The size of the spools in the comic looks like Betacam, VHS has much bigger spools. Edit: on the other hand, the two-window Betacam SP came out in '86, but I wouldn't put it past the comics to get some early product-placement payola in. More likely, he drew a VHS tape so badly it just happened to look like the next year's Betacam.


Have some Transmetropolitan #50 to atone for sperging about videotape formats.

I recall reading about that episode, and apparently the director had to keep asking Lee to please slow his moves down because the cameramen couldn't keep up with him.
