I really enjoyed the new format -- particularly being able to see the "pages" that illustrated your points, as you made them.
Re: the art -- Robin looks like he has put on some pounds and has an angry, thug look. Not MY Robin!
I agree with the comment above mine. It was very helpful to see the pages you were talking about, and I love that I can hear the sarcasm in your voice! Oh, how I miss you. I can't wait until you come home. :)
Also, you're totally right about Talia. She's never been truly characterized, and I think darling Grant could have done a much, much better job of making her into an actual character, not simply a mirror of her father.
I'm also with you on the way Damien is drawn... He looks so awkward and squinty, in a sort of half-asian half-assed kind of way. Poor kid. He's the boy wonder...so why make him look like some kind of awkwardly grown stalk of rhubarb?
I prefer the text version, though I'm not entirely sure why.
