My Suck List
So, seeing as how I'm no Pro, I'm always looking to improve myself and the comic. As a result, I have a mental checklist which I have entitled, Things I Suck At. I keep this list around because I'm always trying to improve upon the things on this list, to the point where the List will eventually be no longer neccessary. Here's the Officially Joseph Morris Things I Suck At List:
1. Backgrounds (I'm getting better, but I've still got a ways to go)
2. Cars/Vehicles (Hoo boy do I suck at these. I typically try to avoid drawing these cause I suck at it so bad)
3. Women (I'm getting better, but I still think my women look awkward every now and then)
4. Shading (I kinda have my own logic when it comes to shading. I need to work on it all the same though)
5. Children (I don't draw kids too often, but when I do, they tend to look a little odd. Need to work on that)
6. Pacing (I tend to rush things. I've been working very hard at slowing my stories down and letting them proceed at a more natural pace)
7. Rogue's Gallery (My villians tend to die off a lot. I need to get more durable villians)
So, there you go. Not many comic book publishers would actually put up a list of things they're weak at, but not many comic book publishers would be working as hard as I am to get better at the things they know they don't do well.

Some of my favorite villains are batman villains. Because for the most part they're just like everyone else, except crazy. Their vulnerability is pretty blatant, but Batman wouldn't get as much street cred if he just started offing everone. Instead he puts them into Arhkam Asylum where they inevitably escape or someone lure him into the place.
Superman had one key villian: Lex Luthor, and Supes never killed him (unless it happened recently).
Good villains are durable, you just need to stop feeding the Clown fresh meet and start dishing out some 1)tougher bad guys 2)more intelligent guys who don't automatically wonder into the combat fray saying things like "Hulk smash."
Keep the faith man, I'm looking forward to the next few books.
