What's that saying about "the second you start giving the fans what they think they want..."?  I think he had it right the first time and then fan voting made him change it.

Comic Accurate statues are better then what you think would look right.

How are you defining "comic accurate"? The black is accurate in terms of

That's not accurate. It doesn't have big slabs of black defining shadows and

Someone should start a petition to have the Bowen statues painted with little
halftone dots so they'll be more comic accurate.
