"As though their lives depended on the outcome"

You might have noticed that yesterday I was poking a bit of fun?

Well that was in part because "As though their lives depended on the outcome" is directly from Steranko's dialogue for this page...

Well to my mind that sentence seemed, well possibly a bit over dramatic...

In the movie it's just a game with a bit more edge to its competitiveness, but here Steranko wants to lead the reader into something deeper and more dramatic

Again its both the text and the images almost using the movie as a frame of reference to make something a lot more interesting and compelling

But what is the context of this game...?

Find out a bit more, tomorrow
