Ouch! 2


Well, the MRI results on my sprained knee showed no ligment, tendon or muscle damage. That’s the good news.
It’s still swollen and after a day at work I just can’t come home and sit at a drawing board or computer some more. I have to put my leg up and ice it. So, no updates for Children of the Revolution for a while. That’s the bad news.

So. I'm curious. For those out there who write/draw/a combination of the both, what artistic device do you struggle with using or are suspicious of, even though you've seen it used well in the past? Mine would be internal narration in a comic book/graphic novel, even though I've seen it used magnificently in books like Skim and The Last Frontier (and horribly in many many many many many other books). But it's weird because I don't feel like internal narration by the main character (or any character) should be considered wrong or a cheat, I'm just very ... suspicious of it.

POLL: The Week in Villainy: Norman Osborne


TWiV: Taking stock of super-villains Green Goblin Norman Osborne Green Goblin: Last month, TWiV heralded Norman Osborne as one of the most powerful villains in the Marvel Universe. Last week, TWiV has been forced to reconsider. In recent months, it seemed as if Norman was going to be the key to stopping the Skrull's Secret Invasion. (And, truthfully, TWiV still hold out hope that this will be the case.) But in Thunderbolts #123, the landlord of Thunderbolts Mountain has been unhinged by a simple gang of a half-dozen Skrulls dressed up as Spider-Men.
