Ah, we're so close to big revelations, I can almost taste them! Another interesting way to tackle the insane action in a new way. I enjoyed the flashback to seeing the Hood put his plans into action, as we don't usually get such direct conversations from him. And then with the battle scenes and the reports of all the action coming in, I was lulled enough to be taken somewhat by surprise when he grabbed Lui Xi and made a run for it, even knowing that was what he agreed to do just before all that (story-wise... time-wise things get complicated really quickly.) And then the Elementalist took over and made for some fun scenes ("I'll let you know if I need any more apologies") and some exposition untangling the whole Celestian Madonna thing.

Watching you juggle all of this is all almost enough to make me feel bad that I could never get a handle on my one story about rescuing some unhappy bunnies from a theme park to finish it.

    I hope the story wasn't too confusing.


As long as I'm not expected to pass a test on it later, I'm fine.

    I imagine that a small memorial to Chokohontas will be in order in the present-day mansion. Possibly with a spring-loaded beaver model.


NTU could probably alter the front door to launch spring-loaded beavers at any intruders. Or visiting dignitaries.

    I believe we will be getting more on that in Chapter 31, which will conclude the issue and lead into *sigh* the concluding issue UT#360.


Yes, well... just don't cackle "Nothing can stop me from finishing this story now!" when you sit down to write 360. It's a nice round number to end on though.

    I'm all for her breaking out into a song about what she's looking for in life...

    Zania or Rhiannon? Because Rhi is way ahead of you.


Nice! Get enough of those songs together and she can license a "Rhiannon on Ice!" theme show to tour. Once the toy residuals come in, life gets real easy. Is that what she happened to sing about?

    Really though, Sarah needs to come back and write a series where she sets Mr. Papadapopolis up on a series of dates until he finds true love, because now I'm worried about him.

    Well, he entertains a young woman in Chapter 31.


I'm thinking that romance isn't in the cards there. Although maybe she'd enjoy a good Taramosalata.

    Is John Byrne still alive? He used to be a great artist who I really liked up to and including his Superman work - and nothing much since then. But I was heartened to see his Man of Steel illustrations featured in the Doctor Who Christmas Special "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", in which the Doctor posits his theory that Superman and Clark Kent are one and the same person!.


Honestly, I haven't been keeping track of him... I would think so, since it seems like I would have come across notice of his passing at some point otherwise. Now I'm paranoid that he's lose and closing in on my beloved characters once more...

I did see something about Doctor Who tackling a super-hero story... was that the episode? Did the merging of concepts work?


    Quote:
    Another artist whom I thought great but who seriously passed his sell-by date is Frank Miller. Daredevil remains my favourite of his work.


He did seem to go a bit off the rails there from what I heard about his recent DC work. Still, with major entertainment based off his work on Batman, Daredevil, Sin City, 300 (and even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, in a way), he definitely had a run of massive influence in the last decade based on his prior works. That had to feel nice.

Or maybe the lack of royalties made him even more bitter. Hard to say.
