That's weird, I replied to the message you sent regarding those scenes rather than write a new one, hoping it would get through then. At this point I don't think they're needed anymore, so unless you want to see them for personal interest don't worry about them.

Excellent. I'm on Page 3 of the next Doorman chapter which catches the series up to the Saving The Future series.

Well, if the two teams combined we'd be getting closer to only 2-1 odds.

Kate could staff the entire thing by herself if the other staff are unable to get to work due to the crime wave hitting the city.

> > The Carnifex sure doesn't mess around. I was definitely cheering for Gladeater to beat him; just the fact the Carnifex is a PV version of the Sentry makes me hate him. I did think while reading this you wiped out the entire Imperium Guard just to shorten the Who's Who.

> Actually, where possible these days I try to steer the PV away from direct copies of existing comics characters. In the Imperium Guard's case they were pretty much directly lifted from a team who themsleves were meant to be a homage lift from DC's Legion of Super-Heroes. Since nobody's used the Guard since AG's early stories except me I decided we might manage without them. But as always, if somebody feels different they only have to write a story that brings them back. A bunch of them got slaughtered by the Parody Master too, so they've evidently got a Ra's Al Ghul-style Resurrection Pit stowed somewhere in what was the Shee-Yar Empire.

I didn't realize they were based on the Legion, but that makes sense. I knew Gladiator was a Superman-rip at least.

I should probably do something to distinguish Gamma Ray Gary from Beta Ray Bill at some point. And while it was unintentional, D'ur almost seems like a copy of Kyle Rayner.

Hopefully you mean they graduate from the Juniors program and they're not all wiped out.

> > I also liked Orankle sticking it to the Carnifex just to be defiant...well, I guess she stuck herself rather than the Carnifex, but you get my drift.

> I wanted to show that even with all that power he can't always get his own way. Now he missed his TV shows for nothing.

I hope Lara blacked out the power to his place so his Tivo didn't work.
