Volume 4 Page 24

Panel 1: Not fond of the choice to show Ninjette and Emp only in close-ups on this page. Needed more of a full-figure shot of ’em, I’d say, with panel 1 being a primo opportunity for such an image. Oh, well.

Panel 2: If you’ll recall from the end of Empowered vol. 3, poor Ninjette was jabbed with both a sleep-poisoned shuriken in the thigh and a hypodermic injection in the neck, so she presumably experienced a heavy dose indeed of “ninja drugs.”

Panel 4: I’ll address this topic in detail tomorrow, but that second word balloon from “Nurse Foxtrot” contains a bit too much text for my modern-era taste. As we’ll see, “overdialoguing” started becoming a real problem with this volume, thanks to a more complicated narrative thread’s expository requirements, or so I (incorrectly) saw it at the time.
