Regarding the ongoing comments about how Sprite's powers operate, I prefer to think that she operates like Casper the Friendly Ghost when she is translucent while phasing.  The fact that Sprite's phasing might actually work by molecules moving past each other takes things farther than I need to go in order to enjoy the story.  I do not begrudge JB or anyone else who wants to consider the scientific explanation at the molecular level, but that is my preferred approach in my imagination.

The last panel on page 10 with Kurt twisting his head toward the reader shows a Neal Adams influence, to my eye.

I’ve mentioned that one of the artistic “tricks” I’ve been playing with in the inks is leaving the rough stuff uninked and converting to greyscale in the scans. This creates a much more organic feel in contrast to the parts that are inked.

This morning I’m realizing it also provides a bit of a breather for me. Having spent almost two days slogging thru a page of really intense blacks I turn to a page that’s basically just Kurt surrounded by rubble. A whole lot less to ink!

Tho this page does include a fairly crowded street shot.

Elsewhere, I continue to see posters online insisting I am “retired”.

I was for about two and a half years, but I have been back in the saddle for months.

ELSEWHEN, it seems, continues to be the best kept secret of my career.

Amazing to me that there are people who are heavily involved in the comic book universe who aren't aware of this project after so many years!

I wager there will be some that will be unaware even up to the release date, and their first awareness will be when it's on display in their local comic shop.


*The cynic in me wonders if half of those people will assume that it's a reprint!!!

Of course they will. That was part of Chris Ryall’s decision to resurrect the old ALL NEW - ALL DIFFERENT banner for the cover.

But, dumb fans will always be out there. I recall one who insisted a retelling in one of my SUPERMAN issues was a “reprint”.
