FIREBIRD #13 (Asian superheroine)

[ASHTON10]

Hello there and welcome back to Firebird. Finally! Sorry for the extreme lateness of this episode and thanks again for continuing to read and take an interest in my comic strip- the Chinese television ghost storyline is just about done and has taken a big turn in this episode regarding Robert and Heather’s involvement. Stay tuned for the conclusion in the next couple of episodes…

I really like episode #3 and 4. Please do some more unmasking peril with Firebird!

nice!

thanks guys!
and I will definately bring in the 'unmasking peril' situation for Firebird whenever I can. that's the best part of having a masked superheroine (too many of them go w/o masks).

Glad to hear you will have some more unmasking peril. Hopefully in #14 you will have those two kids subdue her with their new powers and have the little girl unmask her. Then the shock comes in that their friend is actually Firebird!

The mask you have designed covers exactly the right amount of the heroine's face for her to be both beautiful and mysterious.

Love the near-unmasking in chapters 3 and 4. It's great when this sort of mask is partially removed and the heroine's hair cascades down.

You know technically if you look at where the mask is in the last panel of Firebird #3, everyone there should have discovered her identity. Since her full face would be exposed as the open mouth area gets pulled up and reveals most of her face.

Someone that was on that plane flight should have recognized her

I think we'll have to grant ASHTON10 a bit of artistic license on that one. :-D


I do really like the idea of an attempted unmasking that takes the heroine right to the brink and then stops just in time. Particularly if she's wearing a mask that usually obscures her hair and neck.
