I'm glad to see they put a New York poster up in Pru's room so she can remember what it looks like while she's away. It works well with established continuity, wherein Gunther put Australia posters up on Quill's side of their room so he could feel more at home as well.


The Amazing Spider-Man


Probably one of the multitudes of other superheroes hanging around the city who have already been established, in your own newspaper comic, to be better than you. Maybe Iron Man since he has capitalist interests that Namor is almost definitely loving up. Or Thor. You and Namor had a conversation earlier about how Thor could handle it. Are the Fantastic Four or the X-Men available?

I'll be honest, in some weird way the tolerable art being paired with such a horrendous case of chronic googly eyes in 90s A3G is more off-putting than Frank Bolle's final strips. The latter were at least consistent, whereas with Kotzky it's fine for a while and then you get a last panel like this one:

Well this is just one of the all too many cases on our books of chartered accountancy.

It's called a hash.That's where the term "hash tag" comes from. Calling it a "hashtag symbol" is dumb as gently caress. Better than "pound sign" though, because this is a pound sign: £

"Octothorpe" is technically OK, but it's an awkward word compared with "hash" and a lot of people won't know what you mean when you say it.

I agree that this artist tends to draw eyes that too far apart. I think it might indeed be the lack of lines or shadowing defining where the nose should be. I mean there's like just two holes in her head. I guess it's a style thing, or most likely intended to make it look like she has a dainty lady-nose.
