I really like this comic entry. Scorpio's got a 'soft side' after all. Very touching.

I also like the scenes with Leo in front of the Board. It not only fits the storyline, it also adds to the dimension of the characters.

EXCELLENT!!!!

yeah, scorpio is not as cold as she would like everyone to believe. I'm glad you like the scenes with leo and the board. much to my surprise, they are almost tying in with what is going on in the story as far as when the characters show up.

"Several rules to restrict his behavior"? Yeah, can't say he wasn't going to give the little punk a blank check.

Nope, that boy needs some boundaries.

Oh most certainly. But still, love the joke I know is coming with Scorpio.

I like this page very much. It does show Scorpio's soft side some. But I just can't shake this nagging feeling.

Mwhahahahahahaha.

This is a very engaging story, and you're getting ahead on FA further than you are at the webcomic page....

yeah, I decided to go ahead and post what I have here. Should take us up to page 56 over the next couple of days. I'll keep updating the website weekly at the same pace though.

I am just waiting for the goat sex jokes...

you might be disappointed.

Definitely love how well you've been doing the storytelling, particularly the display of some actual warmth and compassion out of Scorpio. And yes if Libra started seeing how to use his powers to eliminate his limitations he'd be super-scary tough.

Thanks. I'd like to think the writing makes up for the rushed artwork. Scorpio's not all bad, just rough around the edges.

Yep, it is a good thing Libra is a goof with little ambition or his power would likely corrupt him.

The art certainly doesn't look rushed, looks quite fine to go with the nice writing. Hmmm I wonder how things will end up as Scorpio works on her rough edges and some of less than honest behavior, and I imagine with those predictions earlier in the strip seeing who surprises you fitting the bill of each will be quite surprising (since they're rarely the ones you'd think would be the obvious choices).

Probably be a good idea to keep Libra away from Cancer then, given the kid's likely to corrupt him just trying to use Libra as a way of getting naked female teammates to ogle (and I wonder when there'll be an 'accident' with the clothing switch technology while Cancer's conveniently nearby...).

Oh, I couldn't keep Libra and Cancer away from each other. They're buds! And the fact that when they are together they both act even more immature than normal is funny to me. Keep them apart? That's good advice if you were talking to Leo but as a comic writer, I've got to go there.

*chuckles and nods* Well of course what would be best rarely happens in the comics (otherwise Reed Richards would have made Marvel Earth a paradise a long time ago), and I imagine Cancer would find a way around things to get at Libra since he's the only one he could possibly succeed with his antics on (since he knows Scorpio would fix him with her bare claws ).

Back again! I'm gonna see how many of these I can do before 1:00 AM. Let's begin!

Panel 1: Another commendable effort on 'upgraded' backgrounds! It's not overly sophisticated yet is quite effective at establishing depth and setting. Most importantly, it instantly tells us that we're no longer in Cap's house. The girls look good as usual here, although something about Scorpio's right elbow looks a bit strange... it might be the fact that we see the arm, but not the hand. I've been guilty of this as well, but in this case the mystery of the missing hand is possibly why her right arm looks a bit odd.

Panel 2: Capricorn's loose sleeves do emphasize the austerity of her garb, and the fact that Scorpio is considering a little spaghetti-stringed black dress for her is a good bit of subtle humor. Their faces, gestures, and anatomy all come together quite well here, quite an effective panel.

Panel 3: Again, a good panel, only this time with a good, expressive posture on Scorpio's part. Although I haven't mentioned this, or really taken great notice of it before do you normally omit pupils from your characters' eyes when they're at a medium distance? I was wondering if this was something new that you're trying out or that it's something you've always done, but in any case I wanted to mention that I noticed it.

Panel 4: Uh oh. LeSonne's munching on sweets again... a LOT of sweets. The guy must have one exhausted, but very wealthy dentist. Seeing a gator with a cheek puffed full of candy is a rather amusing sight here. Ramas and Hain also look good here, and showing Leo's back here, while it's the same perspective you used on the last page, is more effective here, possibly due to the distances and circumstances involved in the characters.

Panel 5: A solid panel with a good pose, but it's big contribution is that it emphasizes the dialogue well and keeps us focused on the story being told. Sometimes the words have to be the stars, and you served that purpose well here.

Panel 6: A classic pose pulled off nicely, a simple panel pulled off seamlessly. Very clean work here, I like it.

Oh Leo, you're so romantic! Can I please date you, please? I'll draw you a picture! I'll buy you free food. Anything! Just please say yes! And by the way, I'm not a virgin.

I always like seeing the softer side of hardened characters.

Empathy can bring out our inner softie.
