It looks like Domino is taking Lt. Governor Gerber’s talk about her polling numbers seriously, if she’s going to quit the Avengers again.* At least she’s responsible enough to only focus her energy on one big, world-changing project at a time; if Tony ran for mayor, he’d surely be trying to run the company and be Iron Man in secret at the same time.
What I was especially excited to get to do with this strip, aside from advancing the plot along, was to get these four characters in a room together, without anybody disrupting the flow of their conversation. They’re all naturally funny, in their own complimentary ways, and I think they bounce off one another very well. I especially like War Machine and T’Challa’s completely unplanned friendship handshake; the words just came to me as I was moving their arms into the “Wakanda forever!” pose, and I was smart enough to write them down, before I forgot.
*Hey, it’s an Avengers comic. People are going to quit and rejoin all the time. Get on board, if you’re going to get on board.
