Whoever did the word balloons in POWERS sucks.

There. I said it.

[invisiblist]

There. I said it.

How so?

(random characters here because message board won't let me post a message as short as "How so"....____ you Newsarama board)

[Punchy]

Why?

It's legible.

[Lonewolf]

I see no problem.

It seems to me a little rude to make a comment like that without bothering to offering a reason why you think they're inadequate.

Personally I think you're wrong, but it's hard to arue when you don't even offer an argument...

[jamdav86]

Oh right, an argument...

I have to make a concious effort to follow the word balloons, which shouldn't have to happen.

right, ok, I actually know what you mean now.

I had actually noticed that, but I guess it's never affected my enjoyment enough to lodge in my memory.

But fair point. I dont think it's like that often enough to be a massive deal and I suspect it's a necessity based on the sheer volume of text that has to fit on each page (which I wouldn't give up for the world) and a visual balance favored with those balloons.

But, valid critiscm when you explained it.

Oh really?

Very cool.

I believe the wrestling chant go's

LEAST HE TRIED! LEAST HE TRIED!

[BillReed]

I hadn't noticed. The only thing that bothers me is that the connecting trails between the balloons are a bit too thick.

[EmeraldGuy32]

I always dug the lettering in Powers, but there have been times in the earlier issues where it's hard to follow the balloons.

Thank god he's stopped then. :p

The lettering in these books bothered me, too. At least, in the first three volumes of trade, I haven't read anything else. It was really hard to follow, and often-times I had no idea who was talking. You shouldn't even have to put thought into that kind of stuff. It should just flow naturally but POWERS does anything but.

[Nobody]

In the montly book, the lettering and balloons look extremely low-res, and anti-aliased (aliased? pixelated).
