        I'm glad I "perverted the gift"; I'm not sure what the calorie count is on brains, but either way I'll gladly pass on finding out.

        Not only has Hatty's method been different from most Serious Matter wielders but his power-set is different too.



    Quote:
    Have you explored why this is before? I can't remember. If not, the whole "Champion of Balance" thing I introduced with Jabin Sir would work.


Remind me about that.

I don't recall how much we went into why Hatty's different. It's partly his character - maybe because he's the first Canadian champion of Order - but there could be more to it; or else Hatty's got it right and all these others are misusing the gift.

We'll probably look at this in more detail sometime since it's now become quite topical.

      It's not entirely Dream's fault. He pushed, the adversaries pushed back harder.



    Quote:
    His initial thrust was a little too enthusiastic though.


You've just described CrazySugarFreakBoy!

        I'm curious to see if we get Amber back after all of this or if we end up with a new LL liaison.

        Who would you suggest for the job?



    Quote:
    If Hatman remained depowered and wasn't running the Foundation I think he'd be a logical fit. I also think you could put Asil in that role (where is she these days anyway?), or even Mr. Epitome if he was available.


Garrick needs employment.


    Quote:
    From a story-telling potential point of view, I think there could be some to be had with Miss Framlicker in the role. If Al blew up the EEE headquarters and she needed something to do while it was rebuilt, it could work.


The liaison's role has traditionally required diplomacy.


    Quote:
    Or Dan Drury could be ousted from SPUD by the seemingly-reformed Blackbird,who converts SPUD into TATER with the government-sponsored Lair Legion as it's point team, but gets appointed to the LL liaison role by the UN.


Noted.


    Quote:
    Or just give it to Visionary.


Hasn't he got enough jobs yet?

        Nice to see Hatman using his connections to get the Foundation up and running. I'm looking forward to seeing how he handles the League of Losers without his powers, or if he even can.

        Quote:
        I spent a long drive yesterday trying to plot that one. We'll see how good it turns out when I get to write it.



    Quote:
    I'm sure it will be excellent.


I liked the ending but I was a bit fuzzy about the start. I need to get Jay into the fight but he can't know about it in advance or he'd have called in help. On the other hand the Losers would probably begin their attack with a massive body count which doesn't really fit the thrust of Hatty's arc right now. I need to ponder more.

        Poor Icy. Things will not end well for him I'm sure.

        Quote:
        He does seem to be garnering a good deal of sympathy.



    Quote:
    The character isn't one of my favourites I admit but it is actually a little refreshing to have such a naive character running around, considering the experience of most of the cast.


It's fun having a cast member who makes Yo look worldly.

        I liked how Ham-Boy easily took down the inexperienced MLA speedster. Experience goes a long way in the superpowers game, and Ham-Boy proved it.

        Quote:
        HB is one of only two legitimate graduates so far from the Junior LL programme (Glory's the other). He's ready for bigger things.



    Quote:
    If "Villain Whomping" had been worth more of his final grade I think Harlagaz might have made it. His poor marks in "Minimizing Property Damage" hurt too.


He completely blew the Negotiating With the Gloating Enemy section of the paper.

      Quote:
      Things will come to a head in the next section.



    Quote:
    By next section you mean sometime in the next 3 chapters? Your sections tend to be larger than most of my series'.


Yes, I still fail to properly estimate the length of my plots. But in my mind there's one more section.

Originally I'd intended the events of #337-342 to all be a single issue.
