HU: EGO Pg.7 - by Hero
Nepath on Nov. 10, 2008
Artwork by Hero.
Bonus: Please check out this forum thread for some exclusive bonus features (script, layouts, sketches, trivia…) corresponding to the latest comic page.
Commentary: Adding Vora (top in the 3rd panel) to our roster was a last-minute decision, so don't expect any big character moments for her. And the fact that Proxy is pretty much indistinguishable from Nebulon from here on out gave me some headaches… I should have given her some exposition to explain why she looks the way she does (her superpower being that she assumes others' powers and thus also their looks) - but I didn't. Handling more than a dozen characters and not wanting to hinder the story's advancement meant neglecting some details…
As always, thanks a lot for reading and commenting!
In case you haven't done so already, please check this forum thread for an important announcement concerning this series' future and a chance to apply as an artist for one or two HU short stories I am going to write/organize. Also, literacysuks1 is now accepting applications for Heroes Unite: Alienation here!

Lem: My guess would be they're at least 100km (300,000 ft) above earth's surface. Never been there though.

I guess if their backstories are not mentioned here, then there's a chance they could be told sometime else in more detail.

Ah! Good work on that one Hero. It is his first time out with HU, so I guess he doesn't know what to do with himself ;)

If I didn't know any better, I'd say Comet Kid was trying to impress Vora X3. Very cute panels, playful movement. Titan's facial expressions are spot on. Well done

Are they completely in space or just somewhere where the air is thin and the pressure low, but not too thin and low?

al: Thanks for the suggestion, I knew I forgot something ;-) So links should be coming up soon. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to include them in the template itself though (since I'm lacking the required HTML-skills). Regarding character development: I picked out some characters who get their chance to shine, but sadly I also had to neglect others.

Suggestion: on the opening page, where you list the characters, make each character's name a link to the comic in which they appear (unless they're just made up for HU). I'd be interested in reading more about Titan, for instance, but not sure where to go on that. Good character developement with Commander, Bombshell, and Titan. The rest? Well, I'm sure that will come in time....this story's just started.

@Mr. He is the only one over 18 in this whole sequence.

Relik looks like a fish out pf water in that third panel LOL

Hero really brought a sense of fun to this page! Titan's expression in the final panel is perfect.

Ah, the perils of handling an ensemble cast ... I sympathise entirely! Looking good, though!
