Topical!

Interesting series!

The solid line of pixels at row 3 makes this a good puzzle for beginners, but despite that never feels like a gimme. There is enough logic at work here to require at least a minute worth of solving, which is decent considering the density of the pixels. There's nothing wrong with a simple puzzle when the creator has obviously considered each step in the process as mindscrub seems to do here.

The image is not my cup of tea, but I'm rarely a fan of this style. As that is completely subjective, I won't dwell on it. My strongest critique comes from the (spoiler*) area. The (spoiler**) seems to be proportional to the body, which leaves the (spoiler***) looking much too long given the placement of the (spoiler***). The item the subject is holding masks this to some extent, but once noticed it's hard to ignore. That said, the sense of action is nice for the size.

Overall: just OK.

This puzzle is far too easy. However considering it was one of mindscrubs later works, it is kind of a let-down. However the avid puzzler shouldn't doubt as mindscrub is one of the best puzzle creators on nonograms.org.

Doing this took a weight of my mind...
