Week 209! (Patreon)

Eesh, okay, here's page 413 finally done, just in time for the end of the month.

Despite the length of time it took to make for whatever reason, I do generally like this page still. First time I've used one-third panels in a long while, it's always nice to break the format in little ways at least. Also been a while since Bruce had that red and pink background behind him. I think maybe as far back as the arc about Gus himself, even? The panel where Bruce has fire behind him a couple pages ago was actually originally going to have this same background, but I changed it to fire since this pink and red rays stuff is more when Bruce is passionate or determined or excited like he is here, not when he's angry.

Another fun fact, this was supposed to be the same building they were in front of in the previous comic, but I forgot they already walked past the door in that page and only realized when I had already put these double doors down, so I said eh whatever I'll make it a new building (with a more interesting wall color/texture). Also, you can't really see the sign much with the word balloons in the way, but it says "KAIDA CORP", which is a direct reference to my ancient webcomic called 'DATAROM!' (remember that cartoon Campy likes to watch with the gold-haired guy and a robot? it's that). The final arc in that comic took place in a place called Kaida City, you see. I dunno if Kaida means anything, I either probably made it up or I thought it meant something in Japanese, cause I sure was in high school and learning basic Japanese at the time, and I sure made a character back then speak a lot of basic Japanese to show off how much Japanese I knew. Regardless, seemed like an alright opportunity to make a tiny inconsequential reference.
