Page 8: issue 11 - Remember a Day

I'm putting together a crossover project for next year which will run through multiple comics and also try to benefit the Hero Initiative. If you want to join in on the crossover fun, e-mail me at karamesser@hotmail.com or PQ me on this site. You don't exactly have a deadline to sign up, but the sooner you do, the better you can guide your comic through the storyline and the more immediately you can get the cool crossovers set up.

Heroes Alliance is currently running chapter 7, which was written by myself. It's over halfway done with its epic length and features a lot of great art. Check it out here on Drunk Duck!

Onto the page at hand: I'm not too happy with the artwork on this one, but sometimes you go with what you have. Actually, the art looks like some of my stuff from the beginning of the year.
But anyways, this page mentions the events of page 4 of Special 1. I realized after doing it that I drew Tempore's hand facing the wrong way. There's no excuse to that–I messed up that art.
Escutcheon made a good comment yesterday about how sympathies can lie with Tempore in the Sticks situation, and I realized that I should address that here. They're bringing up events that establish a pattern, and that was part of it. I had intended the Sticks stuff being him treating the chaos agent with a bit more respect, possibly trying to work towards reforming it or at least having a professional understanding (they would likely have later fought more seriously). Still, one can easily see him as lax in his duties, and Tempore sees no other approach than “blast, blast, blast” most of the time, so such a situation is completely within Tempore's view of acceptability. And besides, sometimes their arguments might make more sense to their understanding of their duties than where human sympathies lie. Or I dropped the ball writing that bit. It's always a possibility, too.
