Personally I'd encourage Eli to get into full flow with his monologue and then creep around behind him with a very large frying pan and let him have it, mostly because I tend to get very fidgety when I've nothing to do. However I'm sure whatever he says will be thoughtprovoking and maybe even give me doubts about hating him, who knows! I seem to keep catching up the day before you update so I'll have to try and look in again tomorrow! :) Love that scenery in the two top panels btw, they give a powerful impression of her swooping through the streets in the wake of Eli's carnage!
Hey Sky, if it helps, I update every five days, whatever day that happens to fall on (at least I try to - next update tomorrow). Sometimes I think I should try to stick to a single day of the week (like Fridays, but then my backlog would just build up and up), or maybe Mondays and Fridays (but then I'd fall behind) - danged no matter what I do haha. I like your frying pan idea and your description of the top two panels :D!! I'm also curious to see what you and everyone thinks about what Eli's going to say... you may hate him less, or maybe more (I really don't know ha!)
Nice wordplay on the "Target" XD
This page really is amazing, the flying/hovering movement is very well implemented, and the sense of isolation... wow! I'm speechless =)
Wow! Thanks!! They're not flying - just jumping real high... with style!! :D I'm glad the sense of isolation came across!! I wanted this to appear as a once-vibrant community that's been largely abandoned since you-know-who took it hostage!!
Target is a large retail chain of stores, not as large as Walmart but plenty big. Target has been in the news recently as one of the more prominent companies in the U.S. to start allowing people to use the 'bathroom you most gender-identify with'... While earning praise from some, it's also led to boycotting, which is hurting Target (I know a Target regional manager who admits as much...) Anyway, I depicted a Target store for the obvious pun reason - Kimber Lee looking for 'the Target'!! ;)
Missed the previous page :S Had a crazy week during that time period x.x! Eli doesn't look like he's ready for a showdown in that last panel. He looks completely relaxed here, it might be the death of him being this confident! xD
Feel like we are in Pittsburgh with Mister Rogers in the first two panels. As per panel four look to your left in panel three - that's where Target is. Last panels, a parking garage? My insurance would never cover super villian collateral.
Haha, well, I started to place an airport nearby too, but decided not to depict it (couldn't afford the super villain collateral damage insurance to put it there! ;))
A few words always ends up being some endless monologue but it is what villains do. Try to rationalize all of this Eli, go ahead. We'll record it, put if on Facebook and see how many "likes" you get.
True, true... And I'll go ahead and warn that the next page is Monologue-ey, but I think it'll be a little different than most Bad Guy Monologues... Certainly Facebook worthy! ;)

I'd mind, if I were her... Hey, is one of the empty stores actually called "Target"? :D

Relaxed... or resigned, perhaps!! Speaking of relaxed, you should after your crazy week haha

P.S. I spotted a grammar error on panel 2.
KimLuster at 7:03PM, April 17, 2017
Ha, I can't find it - Banes, find it for me lol!!
El Cid at 4:40PM, April 17, 2017
The final bad guy encounter just wouldn't be complete without an epic monologue!
KimLuster at 7:01PM, April 17, 2017
Yeah, it really is what they do!!
jerrie at 7:45AM, April 17, 2017
great page...HEY! I see Target!
KimLuster at 11:40AM, April 17, 2017
Thanks!! Yeah, Kimber Lee can use the bathroom of her choice (ya know, I don't know if this armor has a latch! :O )
Banes at 7:11AM, April 17, 2017
p.s. no grammar errors or typos detected at this point...
KimLuster at 11:39AM, April 17, 2017
I had them hidden - I'd make a great grammar smuggler!
Banes at 7:11AM, April 17, 2017
Eli looks remarkably kid-like, sitting up there like that XD. Stunning page! Those first two panels have such full backgrounds. Beautiful!
KimLuster at 11:38AM, April 17, 2017
Ha, I was thinking too - how kid-like he was (of course, I think all Kids are inherently evil, so that makes it more applicable, haha)! Thanks!!
