I really dig that fourth panel! Action shots and composition are two things that give me trouble, but it turned out pretty solid there.
I forget it here and there, but Violet got a little burn from that bolt that you can see on her hand for a while after. When it comes to actual damage or injury, I don’t want it to just disappear conveniently off-panel. The silly stuff is fine, but if it matters – if it leaves a mark – then it shouldn’t just vanish.

Red: Just now.
