Ok, of all the villains they've created in their 15 issues so far . . you know, in the 3 a month publishing format . . this Paperdoll, is probably the weakest by far. The only reason I say that is because this girls whole motivation is to defend and help her imaginary lover, Bobby Carr. Basically, she's a stalker. And the worst kind really, because she's got the means to back up her delusions. But, when it comes down to it, it's not really about her anyways. Peter has taken up a new position at the Bugle. He's the resident paparazzi. Or as Bennett called him last time . . " . . our own little ninja paparazzi." . . because of his angles and heights. Anyways, the whole point of this Paperdoll character is to show Peter that there are repercussions from his actions. He thinks that his pictures are harmless, but, everytime he shows this Bobby Carr in a compromising situation, the Paperdoll character shows up to harm the instigator of that action. Since Peter took the pictures, he feels responsible for putting the people that have been hurt in them. I know. It's a leap. But Peter has this overwhelming sense of responsibility, so, in his head, he makes the connections. When it comes down to it, that's the whole reason behind this Paperdoll character. And now, Peter should really worry. He's come across this new girl a couple of times, trying to defend her would be victims, but, honestly, he has no defense against her. And, I think, it's only a matter of time before she realizes it's not the people in the pictures that are the problem, but the person taking them. And when that epiphany hits . . she's coming straight to Peter's door. I like the way they're doing the rotating writers on this book. It keeps the stories fresh while retaining all the important parts of the on-going story-lines. Especially since they all work together on them. Just like the art. I'm not particularly a fan of Marcos Martin, but changing up every 3 issues, keeps the look fresh also. I'm not saying any one is better or worse than the artist before, or after them, but . . it's just nice to see a different perspective. I've liked what they've done with this book in the last couple of months. I'm just curious to see how long they can keep it up.
