She seems to have such nicely rounded diphthongs!

Seven pages to go. I love doing Love and Capes, but there's also a part of me that loves getting it done. Seven left is a good number.

On this page, I pull a page out of my Sorkin Handbook and do a walk-and-talk with Abby and Charlotte. I've had a bunch of bookstore scenes right in a row, and I needed something to keep it visually interesting. Deco City looks at it's most Chicagoish, as they walk over the Michigan Avenue bridge. (Well, in Deco City it's probably the Jefferson Bridge, since all its streets are named after presidents.) It's a lot like those drop-in scenes they do on ER.

With this, Charlotte's arc in this issue is pretty well over. In the next page, Mark gets in costume and we actually have some superhero stuff happening, including an appearance by my Iron Man-type character.

Hey, the book's coming out for Free Comic Book Day. I'd be a fool not to tie it into the Iron Man movie.
