tfw when you are paid to write a superhero comic but you'd really rather draw lesbian porn.
I mean, I have nothing against either of those things, and I am not against the combo, but in this case, I can't help but wonder, why combine them? How does the sex reinforce the themes of (super)heroic sacrifice and alienation from baseline humanity? How do their superpowers feed into the Bastioneers' sexual lives and preferences? The author doesn't care about those things, he just swings wildly between dumping world-building on one page and drawing bouncing boobs for the rest of the chapter. I mean, for crap's sake, this is the first chapter where we get to see the "other side" of the great wall (of whatever that barrier is called), but instead of treating it like a huge chapter-spanning reveal, he dedicated a good half of it to the leads bonking each other silly.
