2. Bernadette (Colosseum Storyarc)
I don't meant to criticize, but really?
First you give us this nice backstory with Bern in the Colosseum. However this entire arc has been DRAGGING along. Painfully so.
Finally get to see a potential fight scene, and what do we get? Ten pages of talking, 50-60. Then you are going to take that fight away?! WHY?
When I First read this comic, I got the feeling it was about Crest.
Then we started getting more backstory with Bernadette and Maytag. It is clear you wanted to take the story in a direction that focuses more on them.
In my opinion, whatever happens with Crest is just a bonus at the moment.
We just got over 60 pages of the Dark Cell, and 30 Pages of Crest.
We DON'T get to see many fight scenes in the comic at all. What I see is lots of dialog, mind games, and social interaction.
Don't get me wrong, I sort of like that about the stories so far. But it wouldn't hurt to take a break from that now and again.
Let the voting decide, and hope all things go well.
Edit: Felt like modifying my post.
What are we going to get in contrary to picking Bernadette?
We can get Maytag.
She will either brute force her way through the Dark Cell (Boring), think of some cliche way to overcome the fear, or think of a 'brilliant solution". (Because YAY for stupid side characters, why couldn't the Thin Man have thought of that for the X amount of years he's been attempting this?!)
Either that or she will outright leave, which goes down a whole other storyline we don't need to see or think about. She will leave with nothing, not have her dimension bag the Thin Man conveniently still has, and learn of Bernadette's fate.
We could get Crest and Suspiria.
Now that the conclave is mostly out of the way, Suspiria has very little in her way that's going to stop her from finding the Thin Man. While finding him alone would be a difficult task, this will inevitably lead us back to Maytag and possibly mess up her attempts at entering the Dark Cell or her future. In which case what's the point?
Crest might come into play and try to talk her out of it. "Yes, your parents are still alive. There right here, see? Stop being crazy please?" BORING.
Everyone here is fighting each other, when both of their goals are the same thing. Find the Thin Man. Except nobody can see past their own tunnel vision for the sake of drawn out story.
Bernadette is the only person who is currently working her way out of a very bad situation. She was dealt a shity hand, and is now trying to deal with it. And now you want to shift focus away from that?
