This page was an experiment in trying to illustrate the superhuman speed of this new villain. In case it isn’t really working for you, the idea is that she manages to scoop up the boy in one arm (without impaling him), pivot back toward the window, slash through the fire extinguisher and leap back out the window, all in a fraction of a second.
Some parts of the page work better than others, I think. I like the staggered format of the top panels, but I’m not sure if the blurry artwork conveys the speed, or if it just looks sloppy….
see , the teacher is a super hero
The teacher is a reckless fool. He should have grabbed the child and run with the others or sprayed her with the fire extinguisher. If he actually tried hitting her with it, that was stupid.
The fire extinguisher should be shown to already be breaking into two halves because I couldn’t tell that she had sliced through it until you said that’s what she had done…
fool run away , he used the fire extinguisher as a bait while he will transform into a super hero and saving the day ! do not let a psycho women with 2 swords to lead you into misunderstanding
That’s just it, the time it took her to do all the top panels was less than 1 second so the extinguisher didn’t have time to release until she was already on her way out the window.
I want her swords…any sword that can cut through a solid metal tube and not shatter is a keeper 😀
The only problem I have is with the superhuman speed she picks him up with, (not just your use but pretty much EVERY depiction of it.) At the speed she used to pick him up the best outcome would be him throwing up… At worst ruptured internal organs and broken back. She would have hit him with the equivalent of a baseball bat at best or mack truck at worst. Yes, I know she must have paused just before contact, but to get him up to speed means pushing with a lot of energy.
Don’t get me wrong I know it’s just too neat to use it this way but every time I see it I cringe. All I can think about seeing a certain speedster on TV grab someone or remove an item from their hands is there goes another broken rib / shoulder / hand.
Tide: Forgot to say I do like you comic. Your story line is a real fun read.
I have to agree with you about the damage that a speedster would do to a normal human. In this case the villain has no problem with roughing the kid up, since that’s part of her assignment. She doesn’t do as much damage as she could, but he’s going to feel some pain from her rapid pickup of him.
Thanks for all the feedback on the comic. I enjoy reading the insightful comments. Sometimes I have to work a little harder to stay ahead of clever readers….
