> So glad to see this continuing! I enjoyed the political maneuverings on both sides, and look forward to seeing Black matching wits with Koo Koo Ka Chu (who I always though was one of AG's best villains).

Scott saw Koo as a mixture of Kulan Gath and the title character from "the Mummy", so I've tried to build that in to my interpretation next time.

What I've had to think more carefully about is how to address the fact that Koo effectively took over Egypt five years or so back in PV-time, but nobody seems to have noticed. I'm pretty sure that the LL would have been involved before now otherwise.

Likewise, Koo hasn't recently gone after Pigeonwoman, whom he believed to be a reincarnation of the lost princess involved in his original demise. I didn't want to have to recap too much of that, since it was complex and also somewhat derivative of DC's Hawkman mythos. On the other hand it was a significant motivator in Koo's original appearance. Since Scott's not posted the end of his Crisis series I'm also not clear on the current status of Pigeonman and Pigeonwoman. I believe they're probably currently dead, pending reincarnation, but we don't know for sure. Anyway, people can judge whether I manage to skirt those issues sufficiently to keep things moving without disrespecting the source material.

I'm not a big expert on DC anyhow. What's the current status of Hawkman and Hawkwoman? The last stuff I read about them was the Johns run that established that all Hawkmen were in fact the same Hawkman.
