That short fight was intentionally short, to emphasize what this character can do, and this page is to show how frustrating it can be to have to keep it secret (I thought the ‘Man of Steel’ depicted that sort of frustration very well, despite its other flaws…). I’m trying to be careful, because it’s easy to have character that’s ‘frustrated’ be perceived as acting like an ass, and while a skilled writer can make an asshat character still loveable, it’s also easy for the readers to not like them, detest them, or worst of all, disengage from them!

I came across this fascinating read a while back illustrating this pitfall (along with a few others): How Not to make a Graphic Novel!

So… if you think my character is in danger of becoming an asshat, send a PQ, or say it here!

The DD Awards have Started!! Yay!
