Gunwild: I wish I'd come up with a more fun title, but ya know, I enjoy stories where the heroes need to win SPORTS THING to get BIG MONEY to help NICE PERSON(S). So I keep things simple.

Psu: Oh my god... that Motor Minx is a wonky drawing. The trouble with a machine like that is that it ALMOST looks too science fictiony that it doesn't read like a moving motorcycle. To pick an analogy, if you gave someone a model of the Starship Enterprise and they had never seen a second of the show before, they have a 50/50 shot of getting wrong which way is face forward. So here's a bike that is maybe a little too hard to read as a bike. Thankfully in the comic we have context that helps it stand out but on this cover she doesn't look as good as I would like her to. Cassiopeia looks fine though.

Gunwild: Remember which movie this is a poster homage to?

Psu: AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING, it might be hard to understand it's a vehicle if you didn't know that this was an homage to the original Mad Max poster. We do like our homages though, and this was a big enough chapter to deserve yet another movie homage. I think it's a fun way to inform the reader what kind of story you'll be getting in the next few dozen pages.

Gunwild: Plus the fake creases and weathering are fun. I mean, I'm a sucker for homage art anyway, especially if it's not something we've seen a million times like the "Spider-Man No More" image. I guess we'll be talking about the contents of this story on the next page... which we will also give the audience this week, since Thanksgiving held us up last week!
