...Scott's secret even more notable when written by a female author in a primarily (even moreso at the time) male-driven industry.
Back above the tunnels, the team settles in around the TV to review the media coverage of their fight against Glow Worm and Bulk last issue.
...daughter, not a son, makes the drama feel lived in rather than artificial as it had earlier in the book.
Jean is quick to condemn Scott for leaving his wife and son; she wouldn't have expected Scott to wait around "just in case" she didn't actually die but the ugliness she...
...helped the book feel like it's progressing, rather than just treading water.
