I love that Two-Face and Black Manta sprung for thematically stylized hench armor, but Killer Frost just went for the practical model.

When you're a living heatsink, you have to go for function over form.

Eh?

Black Manta's versions are completely functional since, you know, underwater operations.

And Killer Frost's versions are as aesthetically connected to her as Two-Face's are. (Also, Two-Face's are more practical, being equipped with firearms, instead of short blades.)

So, does this guy stick around for the rest of the series?

I didn't read the entire run, but he does stick around for a bit.

It's cute, but you have to wonder if there'd be a point to witness protection for mooks.

I mean, all the criminals these guys work for are less 'ongoing conspiracy' and more 'this one heist planned, that will be stopped by a superhero'.

They wouldn't need him for conviction as all the criminals would have outstanding warrants and dismantling their operation would be pointless as most don't really have one (yet can always hire mooks. Odd).

Given that he's a tech guy, I can see some reasoning there, but still.

She really is a horrible human being.

He should turn her over to the feds. They'll haul her away and move him someone safer. Working with her is a disaster waiting to happen.

Yeah, she reads more like a villain that Daredevil would take down.

It would be great to see Daredevil capture her and turn her over to the authorities!

Alas, who would the courts be more likly to believe, someone who is a successful attorney, or someone who has worked for 15 of the most dangerous people on the planet?

"I know you cops don't believe me, so just wait until I do the hand off, okay? Assuming the DNA evidence, and the fact that her apartment blew up, isn't evidence enough."

And it's not like he worked for Kobra ;)

Here's how I'd like to see it go down: "Hey, I've got a lead on that new killer, Manhunter. Here's video of her threatening me and giving me stolen merchandise. Here's audio of her follow up threatening phone call. I'm meeting her this day at this time to give her stuff back..." But alas, that is unlikely to be the case.

Not happening. The thing about this character, not shown above is that he rather enjoys doing these kinds of shady things.

And, most importantly, it wouldn't fit the narrative of the comic...

Are they... suggesting something? About the size of her gun? And the angle? And the...

No wonder they call her Man-hunter.

Superstar artist Jae Lee, ladies and germs. You can be a great artist and still do ridonkulous work.

That's Jae Lee? I can see elements of his style in it, but it isn't as muddy as I associate with his work.

Yeah. It is Jae Lee. Probably just has a different colorist than usual on his work that makes it look different here.

Dylan was probably my favorite character in the series. Not necessarily the best guy in the world, with lapses into utter dickishness, but was generally a good take on the ordinary-schmoe-who-got-wrapped-up-in-super-doings-over-his-head character.

Man, reading this posts makes me really want to get back into reading this series. I got most of the collected editions anyways.
