You know, if you've got to establish in a short period of time that a character should be taken seriously, that first page is a very good way to do it. One moment, the crooks seem all sinister and crook-like, plotting to kill the Spirit and all that, then - in walks Satin! And within a few panels, we've clearly learned who's REALLY wearing the pants here. Look at panels four and five there - look at the expressions. It takes a real badass dame to freak out hardened criminals like that - they're going 'Holy CRAP, look what she's doing! EEEEGGHH, that must hurt!' Just the beads of sweat on Asphalt's forehead tell us all we need to know. And then, without further ado, she calmly tosses away the bullet she's just DUG OUT OF HER OWN ARM WITH A RAZOR, and starts talking about her plans without so much as a pause. Every time I read that little sequence, I go 'the heck with Wolverine - he may be 'the best he is at what he does', but I'd take him on fifty times before I'd mess with Silk Satin.'
