Yeah, there are definitely very physical dynamics starting to become apparent in the story &#8212; dynamics that reflect underlying characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some nice touches from Paul Duffield with the light in the glasses, his depiction of the action, and some of those wonderful facial expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some great comedy moments in this week too which you will have to find out by reading it &#8212; I really can&#8217;t spoil the pay off, and anyone who has read it will already know what I am talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently this week we just topped out 100 pages too.
