I’ll be perfectly honest, this page is just an exercise in getting some things off my chest more than anything else.

Whenever possible, I like to start a new issue/episode with some kind of brief recap of some things that happened recently while at the same time pushing the story forward. I think the little news broadcast here does a good job of that but of course I’m kind of biased
. It’s been a long while but the Super Scholar Award mentioned was first brought up here. Anyone care to guess what may go down when a secret teen superhero, a secret crime boss and an out and about politician with an apparent agenda come together?
PS- For those keep with such things, this is Carmen Reed’s second appearance, before she was in her normal position as Fox 4 News’ morning show host but with Brenda White taking the day off, the powers that be thought Ms. Reed (who save for the blonde hair is modeled after Headline News Robin Meade) would be a good fill-in. Some might say it could be a dress rehearsal for the future…
Here we have another new character introduced and one who we will come to know as a major player in Stealth’s world in more ways than one. I’d like to say more but I fear I’ll slip up and reveal some things that aren’t quite ready to be revealed yet. For anyone who caught the promo piece I uploaded a few days ago the words here are familiar but hopefully the page itself now makes some things a little bit clearer. But just who (or what) exactly are the Talented Tenth?
Well, that is a question that will have to wait some other day for an answer but I’ll just say again- some things you thought you knew, you really didn’t know…
P.S. Forgot this earlier but I’d again like to send a shout out to freelance writer extraordinare Robert Jeffrey for some editorial assistance this week. You can find his comic book work at http://www.terminusmedia.com/, home of “Daddy’s Little Girl”, and his writing blog is http://robertspageofwriting.blogspot.com/. There’s also something else in the works that Robert is working on that should be very exciting for Stealth fans but, um, well, I don’t want to slip up and reveal some things that aren’t quite ready to be revealed yet …
The devil is always in the details
. How many readers out there had noticed that Allen has always been seen wearing an undershirt but was without one on last week’s page?
Boy, Allen sure does seem pretty cocky here, seems like some of the Stealth persona might be crossing over. With that said, we’ve seen that every time Stealth gets a bit ahead of himself, something happens that seems to knock him back down a peg. I don’t want to spoil anything but Allen might want to make sure he gets back to his date before he starts talking about his “swag”. It’s very minor but readers with a good eye for detail might notice there’s a small hint on this page as to why Allen might have some issues once he gets back to Carrie…
PS- It’s “cleaned up” a bit but a special No-Prize goes out to anyone who can identify the song referenced somewhere on this page. Here’s a hint, the artist has been featured in a blog post on this site before.
