After a nice chat with Dinah in the last issue, Barbara decides to confront one of her major issues....and it's not the *story that shall not be named*

I'm not sure I understand what the message here is. Did Barbara's mum think she was already a bad parent prior to James Jr killing the cat? Or did she think it was her fault that James Jr was a sociopath? Also how exactly is leaving your daughter with a son you know is a killing sociopath supposed to "save" her?

Sure, I could buy into Barbara's mum not being in her right mind, but if she was worried about her daughter's safety, surely she would have taken her daughter with her? Also, why exactly did she feel like she herself was a danger to her own daughter? For that matter why did she think she was a bad parent?

I'm back to square one.

The fact that they are using a flat palette of colors for the skin is a failure. Faces in particular are very nuanced with coloring. Even in peaches and cream complexions like Barbara and her mother the noses and cheeks should have shadings of red and pink. There should be purple/blue tones in the lower face and eyelids. If they used a better palette it would look MORE organic.
