The first time was based on accounts from folks who had read the color version, then I recolored it a few months later to reflect scans, and I think I need to give it a third go.<br /><br />In the story, B'rett is sometimes pale green, often varying shades of yellow, and in one panel partially uncolored/white. A continuity geek would go nuts over that.<br /><br />B'rett's evil score comes from his sociopathic swath of destruction through Middletown without real objective, and his ease in trying to kill Martian Manhunter.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-66330101010934078212010-07-16T03:28:13.363-05:002010-07-16T03:28:13.363-05:00B'rett is an 11 on the Scale of Evilness?

I'm gonna have to re-read this issue...!<br /><br />I really liked the idea of a yellow Martian...although I didn't realize he was yellow when I first read the story. It was only until I saw the picture of him over on the sidebar.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-76819641076936977042010-07-15T17:50:51.715-05:002010-07-15T17:50:51.715-05:00Frank, I was a print reporter for ten years. So, ...Frank, I was a print reporter for ten years. So, I may have the super power to spot typos. Don't worry. I loved what you had earlier.<br /><br />As for B'rett, I think what is interesting is that he forced J'Onn to go public. J'Onn was accepted by his new community. It was not something that he expected, but it showed good sides of the human character. (A side NOT on display in the New Krypton War series, where I would expect a decent Kryptonian other than Kal-El to consider bringing some people before the Hague on genocide charges. Sorry, but some people at DC seem to be falling back on the Humans Are Bastards trope -- one that J'Onn would object to despite decades of experience with our species.

The negatives on B'rett include stuff on the Idol-Head of Diabolu.<br /><br />Also, did you man to have the word no in this sentence: "A bandit on the run finds himself in a backwater town that can offer serious opposition to be seen."<br /><br />I also thought that you might have meant B'rett when you wrote the following: Who isn't ranked because of Professor Arnold Hugo:<br /><br />I did enjoy the entry, and I think that B'rett was mostly a pattern setter for much that later followed.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.com
