The whole boy thing definitely worked on me. I thought it was Trance at first.

Poor Alex. Even the readers mistake her for a boy.

I always wondered where these secret Ninja societies recruit their members though. Disenfranchised youths? Abducted babies? News paper ads?

The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie actually deals with that. The Foot clan recruits wayward teens by letting them hang out at their super cool clubhouse with skateboarding and video games and cigarettes. Something like that anyway, it's been a long time since I've seen it.

Haha I can only imagine tightly organising everything, timing all the shots, utilising every minute, worrying about the electricity supply etc. Then there's Jessica, smashed on vodka, unable to find the bathroom and giggling away.

Did you panic at any point?

I never panicked, but I definitely got frustrated. I'm pretty sure everyone was miserable while shooting those outside scenes, mostly because of how cold it was, but also because of how far behind schedule we were, and the electrical issues, and all that. But I had to force myself to keep a positive attitude, because if I didn't, then things would've only gotten worse. After all, we couldn't afford to pay any of the cast or crew, so they were all there helping us because they are friends and they were doing us a favor. The least I could do was try and make the shoot as fun as possible for everyone, in spite of all the mishaps.

BTW how would Alex handle the fact that people question her sexual orientation(i.e. some refer to her as a lesbian!?!?!)

I'd say it annoys her, but how much it annoys her depends on who's saying it. When Dean called her a "little kung fu lesbian" she shot insults right back at him (and threatened him with whirling nunchucks). When she overheard Eddie's grandma calling her a lesbian, she ignored it, but then told Eddie that sometimes she wants to jump kick her (though that also could have been because Grandma said she was an easier catch than Heather).

Also,is it safe to assume that those ninjas were following Eddie?

The ninjas were able to deduce via mystical ninja tracking that a teenage boy found the glove, and they have a good idea of what neighborhood he lives in, but that's as much as they know. Like the ninja said in the page, they've split into small teams and are going house to house peering in windows for signs of the glove. The fact that these two ninjas were on the roof of the house next door to Eddie was a lucky coincidence. If they happen to peek into Eddie's attic bedroom window, there's a good chance they'll find a certain satan ninja-clad teenager sleeping in his bed (or maybe ninja jerking it to that Veronica picture he keeps on his wall near his pillow).

The Ninja clan doesn't seem very professional so far, although they casually sacrifice things to use spooky powers!

Yeah, it's probably hard for the satan ninja clan to have their shit together when their "Ninja Commander" is a bit of a wacko. We've seen him in two scenes. In one he's hot-headed and determined to find the glove, in the other he's playing a video game and seems much more apathetic, like he's barely paying attention.

You can see her goose flesh from the cold.


Haha I was reading this on my phone and had to zoom in absurdly to see what you meant here, feeling like a perv for looking at the photos like that. Good thing I wasn't on the bus or anything..

How dare you pinch-zoom on my woman! I am incensed!

I totally recognise the shots against anxiety thing. Sometimes you just need to calm the nerves in any way possible to perform.

Yeah, taking a few shots to calm the nerves totally makes sense. But Jessica went a bit beyond that, swigging Vodka until she got so drunk that she could hardly walk and people had to escort her to the bathroom or she'd get lost. She somehow did an amazing job of hiding how drunk she was on camera, though you can see it a bit during the Rubik's cube scene in the "Totally Cool" video. She totally had the drunk giggles at that point.

Whoa, it’s been a long time since members of the satan ninja clan were featured in the comic. I suppose Eddie now being a satan ninja has been filling that void.

Jessica’s been mindful of this page ever since she started drawing Issue 3. She really wanted to make sure that someone could believably mistake Alex for a boy. That’s why Alex has a jacket to hide her figure. And having her get all sweaty from sparring with Eddie was a good excuse for Alex to wet her hair, thus getting rid of the more feminine hair style she typically sports.

There were a bunch that I didn't end up using because I didn't want to overload the post with photos. I'll probably save those for another blog post that'll just be pictures.

Who cares about a shower,I think Eddie  might want to participate  in other activities  that require  him to take off  at least part of his Ninja attire.

Hey man, that's what zippers are for.

309
Whoa! He seriously needs to learn how to conjure a set of ninja jammies!

Totally. His ninja outfit seems terribly uncomfortable to sleep in.

Bummer. I don't think I've read any of his comics, but I've looked at his art, and the dude had a distinctive retro style.

I actually don't know if I've read any DC comics outside of the original Watchmen and a couple Superman and Batman comics when I was a kid. I was always more of a Marvel guy, though Preacher is my favorite comic series. I know Jessica insists I should read Kingdom Come some day.

Leonhardo..?

Bravo. And there's the obvious Shred-her. Wait that sounds more like slaughtering a chick than nailing her. Hmm...

mystical ninja cleanliness

But Adam, cleanliness is next to godliness! Eddie should probably be filthy at all times.

It's more of a ninja power and less of a satan power. Besides, Eddie is more of a "filthy on the inside" type of dude.

Hence some of the posters in his room?

Exactly.

I love that last panel of Eddie happily jumping into bed in his Satan Ninja form. That was Jessica’s idea. It’s sorta painful for me to think of someone sleeping with boots on in bed (I’m a “shoes off” indoors kinda guy), and those spikes on Eddie’s jacket can’t be good for his bedding.

You might be wondering how Eddie’s gonna shower if he can’t take off his ninja clothes (or at least they don’t stay off for long), but no worries. One of his ninja powers is mystical ninja cleanliness. After all, it’s hard to be stealthy if people can smell you coming. I’m not even sure if I’m joking or not.

How long will Eddie retain his ninja form?

That actually gets addressed in the next page, which Jessica is finishing up right now.
