Thanks to artteach for helping me out so much with the cover, and Ramon for fixing up a few details.

Well I had the priviledge of reading this before it came out and I thought it was a terrific read. I think it was even better then the first issue. Geez, if nothing else, I have to thank you for giving us Ted. I really missed him. Very good job!

Thank you very much! I did make a few minor changes after you read it and they were actually due to your feedback. Thank you for that as well.

The time-travel stuff didn't make a lot of sense to me (a bit anticlimatic), but the stuff afterward with BB and Booster, that was worth the price of admission. I laughed out loud at the "life partner" comment. Doesn't matter what universe they're in, those two are drawn together like a magnet to iron filings. ;D

I agree with most of the other letters. The Chronos deal I was actually glad to see resolved quickly (though I enjoyed the wisecracks). But the afterwards interactions with the heroes were excellent. You've already given Ted a lot of personality and his scene with Booster is the start of a beautiful friendship, I'm sure. It's so good to see Ted in (in)action again.

This was hell of a cool issue, Chris. It took me a time to get through it, because my head wasn't in a Blue Beetle place when I read it first, so it dragged on for me, but I looked back on it today and it was a damn fine read. You have a flair for witty dialogue but sometimes it can seem quite stiff, quite wooden (Waverider and Dan exchange), but other times it flows and is awesome (as demonstrated by your Booster/Beetle meeting)... I'm quite curious to see where you're going with this, and I believe this should have been TWO mini series, two two parters, because you could have ended quite nicely on that eulogy, but instead you've continued the story, and I'm interested in where you're going.

Thanks Charlie! Yeah the Waverider and Dan dialogue I totlally agree with you on. For some reason I got it in my head that waverider would talk like a little more old timey. I almost slipped some thees and thous in there but decided against it and I am glad I did.
Originally this Chronos stuff was four issues but I really didnt like it when i finished and I can tell from the feedback it would have been bad. So I scaled down to just the two issues (actually one and a half) for the Chronos stuff. There is a lot of Chrionos backstory that will be a Rogues Gallery issue later on.

Beetle needs his own ongoing book here. Seriously. He does. Maybe you can invent some villains for him. I have a couple ideas.

Actually, Beetle is joining a team very soon. At the rate his appearances are coming he would be overexposed to have his own book just yet. He is gonna be all over this year.

Oh, okay. It wouldn't be Powers, Inc, would it? Oh, and for all Beetle fans, read this fic I co-write with a friend: www.fanfiction.net/s/2360085/1/It's good! ;D |

It might be Powers, Inc. or could be a coincidence that is where aBooster is and I am one of the writers.  |

what? how did you know vibe was.... I know all... READ IT! he doesnt fit. paco ramone is a street artist. As I said, I need to sit down and read it. Later...Well, I sat down and read it, and it was good. Could use a beta-reader, but otherwise that, it was very enjoyable and funny. I liked the imagining of the Nuclear Family. I loved the way you characterized Power Girl and the Hank Heywood Steel. And I liked Biff's little unintentional channeling of Superboy-Prime. It was awesome. Expect this to be in my regular reads, alongside JSA. |

Cool glad you read it and enjoyed. There is a lot happening in the Inc. in the next few issues that no one should miss.

Loved this issue! The time travel stuff was not too confusing, and the conversation with Booster at the end was priceless! My particular favourite was:
Booster: Now, where's the minibar?
Ted: This is a funeral.

Thanks Apprentice! Sorry I didnt reply sooner. I dont know if I should have a favorite part being the writer but the BB and BG stuff was fun to write. They are both awesome characters and once I had the situation set up it almost wrote itself.

You really hit your stride with this issue. Blue + Gold=Classic. It's good to finely see who the witty one is on the Powers trio team  Ted Kord is quickly becoming a favorite of mine here! So Ted Kord is going to join a team soon? Powers would be too obvious. Suicide Squad would be a bad idea. Bullet+head= air conditioning. HMMMM... I heard the JLA are forming soon?  |
