Flashback!

Here's my first new page since Baltimore, and it's also the first of many flashback pages.

There were a number of design challenges in this page. One was to come up with a way to visually show that it was a flashback. The faded edges do that okay. I also muted the colors of all the flashbacks just a little bit. So, for example, the red of Crusader's costume is just a little more washed-out in the flashbacks as opposed to the current stuff. Also, and you can't necessarily see it here, the Crusader has sideburns.

I was tempted to bring back the mulletted Crusader from the time travel scene in #5, but I thought that was too much. So the sideburns are a subtle reminder that we're in flashback.

Pictured here, Mark and Zoe's first kiss.
