Hating winter

avramOoof, woke up real late today. Slept through most of the day’s sunlight. I hate winter and it isn’t even here yet.
Spent the dwindling day at Ground, reading Superman for All Seasons, which I bought for the Tim Sale art. The story, well, eh. It’s mostly by-the-numbers. Here‘s some small-town family stuff, here’s Supes rescuing Metropolis from a submarine-launched nuclear missile, then grabbing the sub and depositing it at a nearby military base, then implying that Lex Luthor had something to do with it, never explaining why the hell Luthor would want to blow up his own city. Here’s a viral threat that doesn’t make any biological sense, that’s actually a carrier for an emotional attack on Superman that doesn’t really make any sense either. Like I said, eh. The only above-average bit of writing was Lex Luthor’s internal monolog, in which he describes the city of Metropolis as his lover, and Superman as a rival for her affections.
I did some more sketching, still trying to figure out how to work with patches of black. I’m not happy with that leather jacket in the first sketch.
