Sorry for taking so long with this update! With HU: Fury completed, I am going to make Bombshell my priority, so the next pages should be done significantly faster!

As is often the case, I wrote a lengthy monologue for this page and then stripped it down to its bare essence - it's still a lot of text though, so finding a nice layout to accommodate it wasn't the easiest thing. I also did some research on the UN - if anything in this comic contradicts what you know about the UN, please tell me! I'll give away free copies of Bombshell #0 and #1 to, say, the first five who point out huge blunders (I'll decide what's huge in this context though :-P).

Oh, and you might want to nominate Bombshell for "wordiest pin-up comic" (or whatever category fits best) in this year's DD Awards. In that event, thank you very much!


And thanks for reading and commenting, it's highly appreciated!

By the way, Heroes Alliance, a superhero community project administered by yours truly, is looking for contributors (= artists/writers/creators, in this order ;P).

And last but not least: make sure to check out VORA, PRINCESS OF THE SKIES by the hugely talented Tempest_Lavalle, a regular contributor to Heroes Unite!


REPLIES:

Lonnehart: Yay, a new reader! Welcome, and thanks a lot!

DAJB: Thank you very much. Calling it a "nightmare" might be stressing it a bit! :P This page simply required a bit more planning than usual - and that's not a bad thing, as it forces me to practice planning layouts more carefully.

Lautaro: And thank YOU :D

Midge28: Yay! I hope I can outdo myself many more times :3

JoeyS: Hmmmm… well, I am a man after all, and I write these things :D Of course they're not written in a way that I might actually say them, but I would consider myself very much of a pacifist. And even though I have actually never played Doom or the like, I hope that male pacifists are not as rare as you make them out to be! :-) Also, I don't think that I'm portraying Bombshell as the "average" female (if there is such a thing). Rather, I try to make her everything I feel many female superhero characters are lacking. (On a side note, on my other comic signifikat I was once accused of making my male characters too feminine and my female characters to masculine ;-P)

Hero, Mummymetaller, Wes_Nero123, fukujinzuke, PeiPei, bilbomsb, AzuJOD, darrellsan: Thank you all very much!
