Spiderman's the most "hands on" of the thieves. She's a cat-burglar like Katyn, but she goes after MUCH bigger heists and so is prepared for whatever might come of it.
Hence why out of all of them (even the guys) She's the most prepared to kick ass and take names. Oh…and I realized something I didn't explain (I'm coming across a lot of those in this chapter…maybe cutting it wasn't such a good plan…) Spiderman went first to secure the entrance so it didn't get locked down (with them outside) but she didn't go much farther ahead of them…yet.
I'm thinking…well, this chapter is already a bit long, but I don't think it reads well…especially the end…I've been thinking that I might actually add a few more pages in just to smooth it out. I can tolerate some awkwardness, but I DO need it to make sense…

I'm surprisingly happy with how this one looks. I originally though that I'd just color this monochromatic-ly in red, but that seemed a little too intense. So instead I just went with bright red hi-lights, and a 10% red fill over top. I think it came out really well! (Though red hi-lights are ALWAYS a pain, because red itself is a dark color. Light red is pink - poor donut - so to keep the tones red meant that your highlight was sometimes darker than the base color…like their skin and Spiderman's hair. Turned out okay though.) I wasn't too keen on this page, but I'm happy with the results. I like the action of panel three. Not pleased with the gun hits i panel 2, but that's because I actually forgot to draw in the lines for that and had to do so in photoshop. It was a quick fix, so I can deal with it.

I'm starting to catch up a little, but I still don't have the buffer I once did…I hope I can stay ahead…

Thanks for reading! See you next week! (Does it sound like I copy and paste that? I type it out every week! XD)
