An afternoon at the gallery.

Ever wonder what really happens in the day-to-day lives of GEN13? Roxy takes it upon herself to videotape the whole gang in action (or is that inaction?)! With Caitlin, Grunge, Bobby, and Sarah giving the camera's eye a slice of life, they almost miss a terrible new threat in the streets of New York! Luckily our super-team can spring into motion at a moment's notice, and this time Roxy gets it all on tape! Shown from the video camera's point of view, this offbeat adventure is sure to be remembered as one of the benchmark tales from GEN13's new creative team.

Ed Benes is one of those guys who I can never quite figure out. There are times when I really love what he does but there are also times when it appears he’s just phoning it in. Then there is the whole pinup thing, Benes known (maybe notoriously so) for the many pinup (or chessecake) shots he had done through the years.

Still, Benes has matured as an artist a great deal over the last couple of years to the point where I think he garners a lot more respect and fan adoration than he ever did before. His work is good too, I mean he can draw but I always think he is someone Jim Shooter would’ve loved because it seems as if he breaks down pages into very restrictive six or four panel blocks.
