CRAP! I've been so excited for Christmas I've now got twenty minutes to set this up!
Did seriously consider not running this one today and using Christmas as the excuse (I've been really busy this weekend and haven't been drawing). But Blues has a good buffer, and would be pretty mean to skip an update like that just after we got back from a month-long break.
It doesn't hurt that this is (so far) my favorite page of the chapter. First time Blues has the hair detailing and glow to it, and just looks awesome. Cap that off with the silvery shine of their reflections in the mirror.... Yeah, visually this just looks amazing. Just after seeing the costumes in cool poses or just standing around, seeing the kids in normal poses after makes them look way more official. ^^
I also really like how Grant and Nicky look together. They're best friends so could use a few more moments in battle side-by-side, especially with how their costumes look now.
One thing that was kind of an aim with the costumes this time around was to try and incorporate a little bit more blue into them. They all already had some blue in their costume but this was working a bit more into them, mostly in regards to Nicky and Valerie where their previous bits of blue were just kind of barely there.
Kind of blanking on much else to say here, but do like the reactions and stuff here, and a lot of the little moments. In particular like Grant and Nicky posing with the hero-and-his-sidekick thing going on.
Also, find it kind of funny how the first panel's framed like that Alex poster's spying on them.
