   Heroism. It costs an arm and a leg.

   Time to guess some expressions!
   MiniSteffi looks surprised or shocked,Reed looks disapointed (Zuh!?),while BlitzSteffi looks like she needs a hug. Just not a glomp. It may open her wounds.

   @Riddle78 I’d smack you except that was actually pretty good.

   Still this is a very good title page. In fact I’d even go so far as to say that it’s one of the best yet. Well done Cube!

   I’m confused. Wasn’t Blitz wounded in her right side? If so, why is Steffi holding her left side?

   @Lance No, there has been an art style shift. She mentioned it on twitter as being intentional (specifically with shading and gradients). We can apparently anticipate more of this showing up (as it has been a gradual shift, if you go back a bit it’s been appearing more and more). I personally like it a whole hell of a lot, so the new shading technique she’s using is A-OK on my end . The main issue with it seems to be that it’s harder and takes more time to do…hope it isn’t TOO much more so, dun want ole Cube goin’ crazy or nuthin’.

   @zeed316 I’d say she started about mid way through the 8th track and got more mature looking as Cube’s art style improved.

    Looks like we’ll probably be getting some more Steffi history here, at least as to why she needed a prosthetic leg in the first place.

    If you happen to be interested in what i have to say about it, check me out at http://theseizurecomic.com.
    Just an FYI. thanks!

    @Cube
    That’s funny, when ever I see the Track #10 (or as I like to call it… Track #X get it!) I heard Depeche Mode – Enjoy The Silence

    I saw the preview on Tumblr, and have to say your style has much improved! Not that I didn’t like the chibis and bright colors at the beginning of KB, but the way it looks now is just so awesome :D

    Will Steffis hair ever recover those bouncy curls? I’ve been curious about this for a long while. On the related note, best. Title page. Ever.

    It’s interesting how this comic has suddenly gotten darker. Definitely not what I was expecting when I first started reading it.

    Love the slight shift in coloring style and whatnots. I’ll be looking forward quite thoroughly to what this new track will bring!

    Very impressive cover. It suits the current mood really well.
    Will we get to find out how Steffi lost her leg?

    So serious….
    I have all the emotional vestings in this story. (Yes, all of them.)

    @VocaUTAU
    I have often wondered about that.

    Reed and Steffi meet up in the hospital. Solemn hilarity ensues?

    It’s so weird to see Steffi so down, let alone without her hair curls. It makes a huge difference in the tone of the page.

    I must say I have high expectations, with both of my favorite characters on the cover. =3 I love how tense and awesome it’s been lately but I also hope everyone cheers up soon. =P

    Let me be the bazillionth person to say I really like the style of this cover. Especially Reed. He’s amazing.
    I have a feeling that Reed isn’t going to become a cyborg. I think he has pride in being an everyday normal organic guy. Plus, Gear sort of wins if he chooses to upgrade. Might be a stretch, but that’s my thoughts.

    Anyways, looking forward to next Tuesday!

    So I stumble across the comic, devoured the archives, and not I’m like “MOAR!!!!!!!!”.

    Good comic. Can’t wait for MOAR, but I must.

    It took me one night to get through the entire story so far
    1. It’s that enticing
    2. You’re not updating enough (*｀へ´*)
    3. Billion dollar man theme song seems soon-appropriate, and at the same time past-due.

    @Cube:
    I’m sorry, but I have to ask! :c
    …Have you heard ‘Take me to the Hospital’ by The Faint?
    For a second I almost thought you picked that one but I don’t think it would fit as much with the previous track.

    Reed: “It’s just a scratch!”

    Will he now become a superhero too, with a cybernetic uberarm?

    @VocaUTAU
    Steffi lost her leg in the same car accident where her mom died.

    @Bucc-i Where does it say that her mom died? In one flash back Heinrich just made it sound like they were getting a divorce… And she was mentioned near the beginning when Steffi got Kiwibot(albeit in a roundabout way).

    @VocaUTAU and @Bucc-i I thought it was that she was caught it a bank robbery when she was younger, and instead of being a good little hostage decided to try and rush the robbers, and thus got her leg shot off??? (I thought it was a SoundBite, but I guess not?)

    Anyway, I am loving the more sophisticated style. Can’t wait for the next Chapter! <3

    @Chichimi It was in one of the comics that Cube submitted for the Law of Talos tournament where that particular scene is shown.

    Also, Cube has already said that anything that happened in LoT shouldn’t be referred to as canon. ^^;

    … Though godmode Reed might kinda spoil his character, I suppose. Assuming that’s even possible.

    Well, its just that after they mention that Steffi lost her leg in the car acciden, they stopped mentioning Steffi’s mom. Also, I think I read it on DeviantArt…

    Huh my brother said the same thing when he got run over by a motorcycle… WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!! Great cover page the new art style is beautiful and more fitting to the violence that you have been putting in the plot lately, it makes it slightly less creepy. I mean can you imagine cute little chibi characters slicin eachother open and cutting off arms and what not? Not without therapy. Either way it’s awesome. No questions asked.

    Like Lukeman, I was thinking of The Faint’s song by the same name!
