Renee's bit from 'Tec 854
I'd been waffling over whether I wanted to post this just yet. I guess I'd had some idea where I'd Start a series on Renee when I was done with Vic, but I'd have so much to go through since I'd want to start at least with her part in Gotham Central if not earlier that by the time I got to her Tec back-up it'd be old hat.

Strike while the iron's hot, they say. Not only that, but I was looking at Cully Hamner's design sketches and there's no way I couldn't share them! There's too much good here.

(2 2/3 pages out of 8)

I really like their setup here, getting cases over the internet and choosing the ones worth investigating. A pro-bono super-P.I. is a really fun idea! Seeing Tot play a running op for Renee also makes me happy, they have a good thing going here. Monty Python quotes are overdone, but it's par for the course when you're dealing over THE INTERNET.

Renee meets up with a potential case. The guy gives her the story.

It's kind of funny how her hair looked black indoors, but the sun's giving it a more brunette tint here. It would be interesting if it were the bonding gas giving it a slightly different color for a bit added anonymity, but she'd have to have a different variant of it or something for that, because...

...She wears Vic's colors as The Question! I could not have squeed more when I saw this. Anyway, she finds what looks like a kidnapping/porn ring (well, there's a camera in front of a bed, what else am I supposed to think?) and runs into the guys behind it on the last page. It's gonna be a showdown!
Can't wait for the next one.


I'd mentioned Cully Hamner's design sketches helped inspire me to make this post, so why not share them?

As we've seen in the story, we have around-the-house Renee, on-the-job Renee, and meeting-a-client Renee respectively.


What no leisure suit? :D
The Question has always been an identity that knows how to accessorize (sometimes really poorly, though!), Renee should be no different.


"Obviously is a total badass" is a wording that always makes me happy for some reason.
And Charlie's hat! Awww. (though i guess it is pre-treated for the bonding gas?)


I want to see her in this suit more often, it is so damn cool. And the "holy shit look at how goddamn cool i look" has always kind of been half the reason I love The Question so much. I mean, look at my icon! If The Question is about any two things, it's getting to the bottom of shit and looking unbelievably cool while doing it.


Cully Hamner's Tot is adorable. I want to adopt him as my grandpa.

What do you guys think?

True! That would be neat if it was a family operation. A whole other bat-family, at that!

I see things in Gotham getting massively complicated when Bruce gets back. I mean, if he got all huffy with Babs when she first showed up in costume about 'you have no right to wear that symbol', how's he going to react to a whole family network of batpeople? 'OUT OF MY DAMN CITY! I'll pay your moving bills, just - GO! OUT OUT OUT!'

We're supposed to get an explanation of why it's okay for her to wear it by the end of this run.
