Wait...why are so many people mad at you? I see something about a photoshopped panel? Am I missing something? From what I understand you've tried to bring back Steph more than anyone, so I don't get why everyone's throwing a fit over it. All the same, keep
I don’t want to paint everyone with the same brush, here.
Some people saw the photoshopped panel, and were upset, I DO NOT BLAME THEM. It’s convincing, it looks real. It might have just been a gag or a bit of snark, no big deal.
But I think others were genuinely upset about the actual coloring and appearance of the character, particularly with her mask off.
I don’t think most people were throwing a fit, they seemed mostly pretty civil to me. And my understanding is that some of them have gotten some harsh response in return. The whole thing makes me sad, there’s no reason to make a respectful disagreement escalate to where people on either side get their feelings hurt like that, we’re all fans of the character. And Steph fans have been kicked around a LOT, I don’t blame them for being on edge a little.
We’re gonna adjust a bit, visual confusion is something you want to avoid in comics. I remember that a couple artists had a very hard time drawing Lady Blackhawk and Black Canary differently enough that you could instantly recognize them. This is stuff that has to be taken into consideration and I don’t mind making adjustments at all.
Thanks for the kind thought, but it’s okay!
