Quote: Unfortunately, I am extraordinarily pressed for time and can't comment properly on UT #357 either. As and when. It's the Parodyverse way. Quote: Thanks for bringing back Beth as a properly arch science villain; Baroness #71 ended with an unauthorized HH retcon to reconcile the two story lines. I look forward to seeing how the HH will guide that motley group of egocentrics to participate in the rescue of the Parodyverse (or not). There is another significant leg still to come, with yet another new situation for dear Elizabeth. I need to apologize to Jason for treading on Lara Night's elemental turf. Cathode wasn't supposed to mimic Lara that closely, and I'd outlined some limitations that would have distinguished her. But, again, time was insufficient and you needed to go ahead. I'll work on adapting the character consistent with your story line but differentiated from Lara (which might have been done by February). It's really down to me for playing up any similarities. The differences and matches seemed interesting to me. Further differentiating powers should be easy, given that Lara gained her powers "naturally" whereas Cath's were grafted on. And then there is that stay in Faerie, where all things change... Quote: As it happens, in your telling the normalizing wave hasn't reached the far side of the PVB, so Cathode's abilities haven't been impaired yet. After they are, but before the resolution of your story arc, I'll write a tie-in to the effect that her powers have been involuntarily/mystically/tech-glitched/something modified as a result of the hiatus. For now, continue with her as you have been. I'll be back to Cath and the Henches sometime next issue, I expect. Quote: I had considered a plot line where Beth fights her way back from penury and failure, but there is no way I'll be able to write it for some months. I suggest that we treat her and most of her fortune as restored thanks to her trips through the Portal, save for the castle itself. She surely would have stashed caches of equipment and money as backstops. There is one possible and interesting "out" to that which will become clear by the end of UT #357 (and was how I'd have put the castle back). Quote: Please accept the thanks of all of us for once again providing all this holiday cheer. Best wishes.Thanks. The same to you and yours. | |||||||
