Don't let Fire rush to your head. I've hear these accusations before, and I don't need to hear any more.

The only thing keeping general audiences from falling in love with it is the wonky artstyle.

I love all of this recent BLAME! artwork. Although, I wonder what a signalis is.
Well, I'm sure it's certainly nothing worth googling haha.

Yeah the modern language is so dumb. I mean they don't call it "Cartridgeistan", that would be offensive.

Haha, I appreciate it.
I'd love your advice on how to do it for comics. I end up writing really long descriptions and carefully typing out text which I can't just copy and paste. It always feel like so much work that no one sees.

The Question #30 is so good. The idea of Myra's death freaks Vic out as his love for her and Tot are among the few things he never questions.
As he meets the enigmatic Lady Shiva again, Vic fluctuates between violence and pacifism. He hasn't yet decided who he is

The cover image of The Question #30. Released September 1989. Written by Dennis O'Neil.
[Description]:
The Question (Vic Sage) stands in a grave yard. Crucifix-shaped graves stand in the background on rolling hills. One grave stands large in the foreground as a silhouette. The Question seems to be staring at it, but his signature lack of face hides his expression. The tone is solemn.

Panel 3- Now in the sewers, Harry says "Where's this lead?", and Myra responds "I knew there was something I meant to do when I was elected mayor--"
Panel 4- "--memorize the city sewer system!" "Seems like the kind of thing that would come naturally to any politician."
Panel 5- The bearded man wades through the sewers alongside other men in pursuit of Vic, Harry, and Myra. One of the men says "They're up ahead. I c'n hear 'em."
Panel 6- Vic Sage says "They're breathing down our necks. You two go up the ladder. I'll delay 'em." Myra responds "I can't let you--"
Panel 6- "Save it, Myra. If you get dead, I get dead too. If you survive, I've got a chance."

The 10th page of The Question #30. Released September 1989. Written by Dennis O'Neil.
[Body]:
Panel 1- Vic Sage's vigilante persona, The Question, stands alone under a street lamp at night. Everything is pitch black but the small spotlight he stands in. "Shiva? Lady Shiva? Are you there? Can you hear me?" "Listen... earlier you wanted to go romping and stomping the ghosts. I wouldn't do it." "Well, I've changed my mind. I think romping and stomping would be a fine idea. I'm in the mood for romping and stomping."
Panel 2- The Question's featurless face is profiled close-up on the left of the main illustration.
Panel 3- He still stands alone in the street light. "Okay, I'll level with you. I need help. I'm asking, Shiva."
Panel 4- The profile of The Question's face turns to the right a bit.
Panel 5- Standing alone. "If I blow this caper, a fine woman will die. Die ugly. The finest woman I've ever known, Shiva."
Panel 6- The space where The Question's eyes would be are shadowed by his brow as the above-head street light shines down.
Panel 7- Still alone. "Help me."
Panel 8- The Question's featureless face is illuminated.

Panel 1- Vic Sage's back is turned to us as he walks through a graveyard, away from Harry's silhouette profile in the foreground.
Panel 2- Vic turns to see Harry jogging a little to keep up with him. "Miste Sage. Waitaminnut. You said you don't envy me?"
Panel 3- Harry asks "Why is that Mister Sage? Why don't you envy me?" Vic looks at Harry and answers "Because you have to decide if you merit punishment, and if you do, then you have to decide what it will be--"
Panel 4- Vic turns away from Harry, and continues walking as he says "--and then you have to have the guts to administer it. All by yourself." "That's the worst. That's a real bitch."
Panel 5- Harry's face is covered with shadow as his head tilts down.
Panel 6- Harry's silhouette profile is shown next to a dark crucifix-shaped grave in the sunset.
Panel 7- Harry looks up, and his frowning facd is illuminated and his eyes squint. He says "Yeah."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:g3camwfsgbi5xcm4t4ijwgwx/bafkreie4pmbzgbfztd6fxfcbn7a64vgyt2mb7nholxdz3k2g42k6k35kue@jpeg)
