The ebonics-flavored dialect walks a tightrope, but the writers are smart enough to acknowledge that, and it’s phonetically close enough that it never quite falls over the edge into offense. The painted-looking art isn’t bad, either; it’s equally good at both the human/expressive stuff and the action scenes. Marc Bernardin and Adam Freeman; Art: Afua Richardson

That weight of responsibility to create stories that tell the truth is the number one thing that makes great writers great. I'll keep an eye out for Genius this weekend at HeroesCon. :) Solid post, Marc!

In turn, I’ll let you in on a little secret: Whenever you see a couple of white guys walking in opposite directions on the street, and they nod at each other when passing, it’s not because they know each other. It’s a tacit declaration of “Man, wasn't <i>Fraiser</i> great?” Good post Marc.
