While you were out of town we took a vote and decided you should draw it instead. But we're not expecting it before the weekend.




My problem is the Hooded Hood. I have a list of ways he could do very minor retcons that would kill each member of the Lair Legion if they ever fought again. It's hard to overcome that, especially given that he doesn't even need to be anywhere near the heroes to trigger them.

For that matter, just starting off a chain of events that awakens Chabba'Dhabba'Dhu under Paradopolis would be a good start. The Hood wouldn't usually do that, because he has no wish to revive the Fairly great old Ones in general, but given an imperative, why not?

Or, to keep it simple, why not just retcon temporary Death's part in the previous three issues? If Tracy wasn't facilitating the shift to comic-book limbo then there's most of the heroes wiped out straight off. He really only needs the time-travellers plus Liu Xi and ManMan to take down Wilbur.

So I need to work out a way for the Hood not to wipe out all the heroes in the first half minute after midnight. And he's just one of the planned-up archvillains who must have anti-League contingencies in a back pocket. There are certainly others.
