A rather adorable double page spread from this comic, showing our heroes racing to get back to their school before the vice-principal does – bike share versus taxi! The whole trip is superimposed on a “comics” version of the New York Subway Map, which is actually fairly faithful to the real thing in terms of placement of elements, though it’s been simplified a lot with the removal of the underlying street grid. A bold choice by this reality’s MTA to go with hexagons for station markers and service bullets! There’s also no visual differentiation between local and express stations here – Kings Highway on the B/Q would be a white dot in our world, for example.
Also amusing is that Prospect Park station is closed due to “superhero activity” – I wonder if our erstwhile webslinger had anything to do with that? Also, I think we can place the Brooklyn Visions campus somewhere around the intersection of Avenue U and Nostrand Avenue?
