Ugh.
Cliche, much?

But an asset nonetheless."

I'm incorporated now!
Great script and GREAT idea Sime. Too bad it will never ever happen now. Ever.
ReplyDeleteBatman stole Jimmy away from Superman? I did not see that one coming.
ReplyDeleteThis page yet again highlights the fact that DC and Marvel should be coming to thoughtballoons for writers. This page screams of potential and confidence. I would totally read this in issues. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteNice idea well executed Sime.
ReplyDeleteI love it when Jimmy is thrust into the 'secret agent' type role.
Great idea and even better execution! The captions are top notch, and the line at the end sells it perfectly. Love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. Very inkeeping with Nick Spencer's take on Jimmy a couple of years back.
