Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

Not the most surprising turn of events, admittedly.

Math was like "let me look at some anatomy charts for youse guys so I don't accidentally explode your appendoid, or your vom deference, or your pancreatic couscous , or your cumulonimbus duodenum, or your exoprostate, or your tarsal areala. 

But in fact he was looking for exactly the sorts of things martial artists might like to jab their one-finger push-up fingers. 

And if you're wondering why Cora's maliens aren't ganging up on Math, that will become relevant in a page or two. Or... three? Soon. 

I think I've been overdoing the speedlines, so I pulled back on this page. Arguably too much? I'll find the formula just as this sequence is coming to a close, and then forget everything I've learned by the time the next action scene rolls around.

Well, human knees are very fragile too.

I like the pulled back speed lines they were getting to be a bit much. But oh man I love maths wooo face at the end. It would make ric flair proud, and I want it as a reaction face.

Think you got the speedlines right on panel 4, maybe needed one or two more on panel 3.

Michael Obert

Faces are good, joints are better. And, uh, go Jabber! 😍

There’s a similar nerve complex on the outside of the human leg, just above the knee. We were actually trained to aim for that area during my baton and handcuffs course. Doesn’t matter how much muscle your opponent has, you strike that nerve hard enough and both their legs will collapse under them.

Out of everyone in this comic, I'd say math has more of my respect than anyone. No powers, yet he can stand toe to toe with many that do. I'd say the same about the other non-powered team members, but we haven't seen as much of them as Math. Seneca seems cool, bad ass with the funny sweet eating side of her. Goose is, of course, Duke Nukem. Peggy and that SEAL whatever his name was are surely good too. But Math seems to be a level past them.

Mike

Oh yeah, and is that a Bruce Lee "woo" at the end, or a Ric Flair? Probably Lee, but my head canon has it as pure Nature Boy. Woo!

Torabi

With respect to the speed lines, I personally think this is just fine. You've got enough to communicate the path and speed of motion without looking too busy.

Fogel

He's not full on moving here, so it makes sense that there's fewer speed lines

Fogel

Also is Math just doing a full kung fu goofy ending in that last panel?

Town Crier

Why are Math's pupils always constricted? Does he suffer from a version of miosis? Is he actually of a human subspecies that hang out in the dark all the time?

Adam C.

The speedlines are a great representation of Math's 'power'. Keep them.

Math funny boned his friggin knee?!

Ampws

Nope! I think Math accidentally hit his funny bone (ulnar nerve) when elbowing the knee joint.

Todd Ellner

"And if you're wondering why Cora's maliens aren't ganging up on Math, that will become relevant in a page or two" I am wondering that. The way he stays there in the middle they should have swarmed him

Magraal

I can only picture Math being voiced by Bryan Cranston after this page.... because of the Street Fighter 2 animated movie where he voiced Fei Long (which is also one of the best animated fight scenes *ever*)

Doug Northcote

Speed lines look good on this one as well. Gets it across without overwhelming.

Perfect funny bone strike. And they're both acting funny. "This is gonna hurt me more than it gonna hurt you."

Tim Malmström

Never seen it in the knees, but for the elbow, here in Sweden it's sometimes called hitting the "tjuvnerven", or "the thief's nerve" and it HURTS LIKE THE DICKENS!!!! So I don't blame Big Red for hopping around like that at all.
