“Once an enemy is caught in his tentacles, he will take one of that character's darker personality traits (or twist and distort one of which they are most proud) and turn it against them, thereby undermining their self-belief, destroying them from the inside” (taken from DAJB's “Thrawn” character study). I always think of Bombshell as morally ambiguous anyway, so it wasn't hard to figure out that Thrawn wouldn't mind a little private chat with her…
…although he might be enjoying himself a little too much, don't you think? :P
Okay. Now I'm beginning to see the small glimpse of bombshells future. I was hoping to run into this bit of information about her. Her in the current issue 8 was like a shocker to me. So I had to go back into the past and see what she is really like.
Okay... I think I have a theory on this. Is he talking about how she's really just created this team to help worm out the bad seed in HU? Otherwise I'm guessing he's talking about something I haven't found out yet about her character that's probably going to be an interesting plot twist...
Well, at no point did I have reason to expect it would take Tempest a month. Whereas in your case, that was the time frame you gave me from the get-go, if I remember correctly. Anyway, Tempest's page has been reassigned in the meantime...
True, but it's been almost a month now... And back when I said that it would take me that long to finish a page after my old computer broke down, you reassigned those I couldn't finish at the time...
I must apologize for the delay. I don't quite know myself what's causing it. I'll assume Tempest has a valid reason and is doing her best to get the page done. I mailed her and she told me she planned on getting it done by past Monday... but, well, it hasn't happened. See her own comics for apologies and such.
All I can say is: I'm more than willing to wait a bit for her page.
... Okay, I'll nibble. What's the hold-up? I will regret asking, since it's usually serious business when Tempest is late, and at the same time, I apologize for being snappy when she got sick the last time...
sux: I'm so glad I'm the editor on this, so I don't have to worry about anyone else requesting I redraw this ;-)
fukujinzuke: Thanks a lot!
DAJB: You're ALL IN FAVOUR for that? Did you learn nothing from Wertham's [i]Seduction of the Innocent[/i]?! ;-)
Seb: You mean there's [i]another[/i] way to pick them up...? ;-) Anyway... That's probably the reason why I drew this page myself - I didn't want anyone else to draw Bombshell in such a vulnerable position :P Surprisingly (?), I'm not a big fan of bondage and/or tentacle stuff, even though I always end up drawing these things :D
Rather heavy on the fanservice and fetish fuel there, Abt. ;) But then again, it's Bombshell, so what else is new? XD
I concur with all previous statements, and I don't think I'm the only one thinking, Bombshell needs to be tied up more. She just looks simply delicious in that fake-damsel-in-distress position...
Even if panel 3 does look like Thrawn is making a grab for... well, you know! XD
Heck, if I was evil... Okay, MORE evil XD and had long prehensile tentacles, I'd literary pick up girls like this all the time.
Oh my! I'm all in favour of semi-naked superheroines being tied up in tentacles but ... yeah. In that third panel, I can't help but wonder what's [i]really[/i] going through Thrawn's mind!
Also, Thrawn looks positively [i]repulsive[/i] in that final panel ... exactly as he should!

Macattack: It's the latter. A bit of build-up to something in the (near?) future... :-)

tentacle monsters are getting to be more and more popular these days

@ Abt- Same here, She never falters with her art so I'm sure we can all forgive and be patient

... Damn you, BD! I'm the one with the perverted sense of humour, and even I didn't catch on to that until you mentioned it! XD

Braindonor: Haha! Well, you do see that it's, er, resurfacing somehow...
Braindonor at 8:51PM, Feb. 17, 2011
In panel #2 the position of Bombshell's legs and where that tentacle seems to be going is... unfortunate.
DAJB at 2:13AM, Feb. 12, 2011
@Abt: Ah, Frederick Wertham. May he rest in pieces ...!
JazylH at 11:52PM, Feb. 11, 2011
Can't wait to see what happens next. Love the creature design & it's powers & your art just keps getting better Abt Nihil! Love the last panel!
AzuJOD at 7:00PM, Feb. 10, 2011
It would be interesting to see how Thrawn's power would be used on different characters.
Wes_Nero123 at 3:32PM, Feb. 10, 2011
Faaannnservice haha! There is so much to love about this page! I like what u did with Imp's color scheme by the way!
man in black at 1:53PM, Feb. 10, 2011

If this were Japan, this scene would be too Hot for TV :D I love the detail on him in the last panel, god he looks so ugly :P
