I pencilled and inked this page some months ago, and I'm not too happy with it anymore. And I also had to color it pretty quickly, since Heroes Unite: EGO still requires quite a bit of work.
I wrote this whole 4-page-monologue in one sitting, but then I always fiddle around with it a bit when lettering the page. I hope it still flows well enough and works for you.
Regarding the “ministry of health and welfare”, I have no idea whether the corresponding US ministry is actually called like that. I am neither that knowledgeable about US interior politics, nor would I want to be that accurate here. Also, I don't mean to insinuate that Aria has ties to the US government, but that someone who is funding her also has their people in certain ministries. And lastly: Tony Stark may have proven to effectively oppose international arms trade or arm trade with terrorists or some such; I want to stress the fact that, considering her field of expertise, Aria would oppose any sort of arms trade… not to mention their manufacturing and actual use ;-)
Oh, and there's a little in-joke with the flags in the background. I don't expect anyone to figure it out, but please… surprise me ;-)

DAJB: Haha… that's what I thought :3 Thank you very much.
AzuJOD: INDEED IT IS. :D
MrHades, alschroeder, man in black: Okay, the secret is this… The corresponding countries' initials read from left to right form my family name :D

So, in fact you aren't referring to the US at all with "ministry of health and welfare." But the CIA's an American institution, all right :)

We don't have ministries, we have departments. Department of Health, Department of Defense, many many others.

VERY interesting. But no, I don't get the flags either.

the coloring looks great!

Been looking at the flags and I can't get it. Not my area of expertise really!

Bra strap!

All flesh and blood, indeed. I can believe that! Nice determined stride she has there!
