Gathering Of Nations Digital Visions #2

Page 6, Panels 1 & 2. A hunter in 1528 shoots a white wolf, when he goes to skin it it kills him and tells his fellow hunter to leave, then the wolf turns into a woman. The problem is the two panels where she goes from wolf (panel 1) to woman (panel 2) because despite her speaking continuously the shift in her pose is too drastic. Panel 1 has her standing over the body, her left paw "above" his arm in a puddle of blood, her right paw "below" the arm and her back legs on the other side of his body. In panel 2 her left arm & leg are behind his body and her right arm & leg are "above" his arm in the puddle of blood. The artist should have tried to keep her pose as a woman similar to her pose as a wolf.

Page 7, Panel 1. She's burying two dead wolves, presumably shot by hunters, but not the hunters from earlier as they hadn't even seen a squirrel before encountering the white wolf and there's no dead hunters lying around to indicate a different group she had dealt with (and you'd expect the wolves to have been skinned if hunters had killed the two wolves and left before she found the bodies).
Just feels like sloppy plotting on the part of the writer.

Phantom Jack was a reporter who gained the power of invisibility.

Page 6, Panel 5. Vinnie says, "How very Andy Hardy of you."
Wow! That's a dated reference. How many readers did the writer think would know who Andy Hardy was?

Page 12, Panel 3. Mr. Schwartz says, "I'll do what a can."
I not "a".

Page 17, Panel 5. Vinnie says, "I plant to grab everything I can".

Despite Vinnie seeming to have a better grasp on turning invisible and plans and frankly being the only thing close to an interesting character in this comic, he inexplicably turns invisible, walks into the street and gets himself killed.
Either the writer never heard of foreshadowing, or psychological motivations, or maybe he was just afraid that Vinnie would continue to overshadow the dull, boring clod who is the comic's lead.
