Less of an OMG DISASTER than other pages in the scene, fortunately. The major visual change was canning the "!" bit in panel four.

Still love Malky's look of total D: - one of my better expression renderings, I think.

The glowing, it burns.

Also. Best Greymalkin shot. EVER.

As far as the font fuckery goes- Times is, as always, Grij. It's black in this case for the same reason that the Courier text- representing Greymalkin, Sabrosa command staff and Templar technicianss (which is which should be obvious)- is black. The text is both dialogue and aesthetics- if The Dualist were animated, this stuff would be stitched in by the sound guys in glaring, staccato bursts intercut with static and overlapping each other at different decible levels. It would sound like radio noise at first pass, and on the second or third, you'd start picking out bits and pieces.

That sort of thing doesn't quite transition into a visual medium. So I've improvised, for several scenes. Finally starting to find the balance between aesthetic and clarity, I think.
