I used to read comics.  Sometimes I still do. One thing that always bothered me about comic books was how the covers would pose what I considered to be a narrative challenge: the hero is about to be shot, twice, in like 1/1000 of a second.  And then the KKK-Nazi-cult leader dude will impale the virginal heroine with his stiff, quivering sword.  It’s inescapable.  How will they survive? And then, inside the comic itself, this setup never actually happens, so the author doesn’t have to solve the problem on the cover. Fucking A, man.
