Hi there Doc Robo and McTek:
An Acquired Taste # 10 was easily my favorite issue in this run. I must admit that I feel very strange everytime I saw the robots. I mean, sure, they are robots and no clones, but I think for the audience point of view, is very obvious those are not human beings, unless human beings covered in plastic.
So my question is that if In Universe, those robots could be mistaken for humans? Even with the problem of the eyes?
However, the part I really liked was to see the destiny of those robots. I loved to see the machine that could “scan” a human and duplicate a robot (like a 3d printer!), and the part where the robot shows absolute obedience to its master was great, but the part where they pick up the originals to send them to their doom was great!
Now, about the “superheroine” pose, it is one of my favorites, and the comment you did about the drugs seems to explain why they can hold a pose if they are slowly awakening from a slumber. The part that I really miss is that they’re both nude. In my mind, a true collector will try to get the superheroine with his costume. It’s part of the package, so to speak, however, A. C. Quire seems someone who can appreciate better a superheroine nude.
No doubt, my favorite pages are 112 and 113. With a soft moaning (I know they were thinking, but I would like to consider that a moan), those superheroines are sent to a inmovile status. Also seeing their replacements dressed as hers, ready to infiltrate their groups to add to A. C.’s collection.
The speech at the last page was fantastic; I loved every word of it, displayed with the heroines being showed at her pedestals. I think that a plaque showing her names (or superheroines codes) would have been awesome, but A. C., could think of that later. The part I loved to see was Noctrissa’s fate. And let me tell you: If this is the kind of punishment A.C. is planning for every of ther hench women, I would understand very well why he is willing to “punish” any transgression, real or not.
I love the collaboration between artist and writer you have crafted a truly great story, thanks!
