It's not that kind of test.
From this week's Savage Avengers (#27).

The evil sorcerer Kulan Gath has finally been defeated, but during the victory feast Kang and Doom raise a valid concern:

Doesn't say he can read lips with his eyes.

I'm pretty sure that Kang's mask at least has movable facial features and I feel like lip-reading Kang's half of the conversation plus just knowing how Doom rolls would give Strange the picture.

If a supervillain was paying me in bitcoin or NFTs, I'd just throw a fight to the D-list superhero I see, honestly. Might as well pay your henchmen in shiny rocks or a neat flower you found at the park.

One of the "improvements" to her next-gen fight implants is they made her real dumb with money. It's a method of control, like a kind of combat enhancile student loan.

Untrue, you can write dialogue of someone describing the explosion and how awe-inspiring it is.

Not in the text. But because it's Morrison, it being in THIS text makes it some kinda canonical.

lol Kieron Gillen wrote about this in his latest newsletter in a list of five things writers do in comics that make him "regularly tut" (and he says he's guilty of and will do again):

quote:

1) EXCESS SPEECH OVER A SPLASH

Or heaven help us, a double-page splash.

The more text you put on an image, the more you distract from the image. There’s two main things a splash does – hyper-stress a single moment of the story (as space = meaning) or create a complicated visual space which the reader is meant to explore.

In the case of the former, more speech distracts from that moment. In the case of the latter, the speech will lead a reader through and past the image with undue haste, because you have signaled that text is more important than the image by writing so much of it.

Worth noting: I am saying speech here rather than captions. You’re usually best cutting your captions to the bone on a splash to avoid distraction, but captions can be placed peripherally, framing the image. Speech over an image is almost always central – and always central if there’s a whole chain of it.

In short: if you’ve asked your bandmate to do a solo, don’t try and do a solo at the same time.
