Invincible #72

From what I understand, readers of Invincible have been positively clamoring for the return of his yellow costume. I mean, if you looked up "clamoring" in the dictionary you'd see a picture of an Invincible reader with an angry sign. Me, I haven't minded.

But what I wonder, now that the yellow is back, is whether Kirkman really intended to do it all along, or if he caved to fan pressure. The latter would be perfectly understandable, especially with something as trivial as a costume design, but it would make the scene with Art in Invincible Returns look kind of disingenuous, wouldn't it? Mark going on about how angry and violent he's become, just as an in-universe excuse for the design switch, rather than as an indication of where the character is actually headed? That was only two months ago, and things certainly don't seem poised to become any less violent anytime soon.
