Contents
Plot
Zed Hudson crosses flying-paths with “retro-style” superhero Criterion. Although giving each other a warm greeting, each comes away mentally boggling at the other hero's fashion sense, with Zed finding it unthinkable to unironically wear tights in primary colours in this day and age, and Criterion worrying about what the current generation is coming to if they're going around calling themselves superheroes while wearing casual street clothes.

Behind the scenes
Background
Johann-Octavius Gans appended the comic with the following commentary:
| Zed runs across another of the city's heroes: Criterion. He is, in essense, a Superman/Hyperion expy but he is DRESSED in the costume of the superhero whose comic was the first super-team comic I ever read religiously as a young sprout. 5 points to the first person that can tell me what hero he's patterned after! |

Participants on the Jenny Everywhere Discord channel did indeed figure out the fashion inspiration.
