I Gotta Get Better at This

PS 238 #32: A disproportionate amount of footnotes in this issue. The character primer in the back I’m fine with, but the footnotes get distracting. Problem is I don’t know how you could smooth it out without losing the younger – and target – audience. I’m all for storylines that build on each other, and so knowing or having quick access to story history is unavoidable. With this particular story, Tyler deciding the fate of superhumans, one COULD have Tyler watching the various referenced events in tandem with the interviews, but that kind of density and the layouts necessary to tell all that in the space allowed would be a lot for younger readers to assimilate. Maybe too much. Errrgh.

Ex Machina 37: Fun dialog, government drama, and a costumed chick with poor impulse control. What’s not to love?
