Jen takes charge

Inspired by gargoylekitty's recent post, a page and a half from issue #14 of the first volume of HEROES FOR HIRE.

For the most part I'm not a fan of Ostrander's Shulkie on this title, but this scene always has me giggling like a loon. The best part is it actually even works - there's virtually no narration past this issue beyond simple setting placards. Jennifer Walters: not to be messed with, regardless of which side of the fourth wall you hail from.

Man, it would have ROCKED if Shulkie could have kept her fourth wall-breaking powers. Even more so if, like here, she was the only person who was even aware of the fourth wall. Like, on page 3 the heroes are about to go storm the bad guys' hideout, who have a bunch of ninjas as backup, and someone says 'man, I wish I knew just how many of those damn ninjas they've got'. Shulkie could say 'wait, I'll go see!', and while they're all saying that that's impossible, she can't break into the hideout all by herself, she'd never make it, etc., she could sneak ahead to page 7, where the main villain is giving a speech to his lackies, do a quick headcount, then head back to page 5, where they're still wondering where she's gotten to, and say '15'. It'd be COOL.
