ah man, excellent, as always. Your action is always just thrilling, and your characters always wonderfully defined. I've got that high coming down from a great story. And I'm consistantly amazed by your ability to go through so many different cultures in all of your work, and each one of them with exactly the right feel. Wonderful writing, wonderful story, more more more!

Yet another in a long line of quality issues Don.
The way you weave these relatively obscure characters together into such a tight tapestry is amazing. It's almost hard to believe they come from such disparate elements of the DC Universe since you blend them so well. It's almost hard to believe this wasn't based on some long-running Golden Age series, these characters mesh so flawlessly.
This is truly what this sort of fan fiction is supposed to be and you're taking full advantage of the medium.
The issue itself continues to build into something very exciting, the introductory scene was exciting, you really did a great job depicting the chaos of the scene.
The scene with Occult was great as well, I like the notion that these guys are still surprised by the sorts of things they are getting caught up in. It helps to keep them real. I also liked the way you brought the title of the series into it, it felt organic, and was a nice touch.
The scene with Rima was effective as well, subdued and subtle, there's a lot going on there and you capture it very well. Rima is certainly a force to be reckoned with here and I can't wait to really see her cut loose. She's yet another I hope is going to be sticking around long-term, as impractical as that may be - hopefully you'll find the means to use her in future arcs at the very least.
The ending was of course, slam bang and I can't wait to see what's coming up next.
Great job Don.
The cover is great as well, a nice job.by the artist.

Another terrific issue. Great action, well paced story. Had a real Indiana Jones kind of feel to it.
Faraday and Saunders are still my two favorites. I haven't quite picked up an interest in Rima or Midnight yet, but the more you give us, the more interested I'll become.
I'm hoping that we get to see more of the personal sides of these characters as well. Really get to see what makes them tick, their likes and dislikes.
An excellent issue and a terrific cover.

A worthy follow-up to "The Blood and Dragon Affair!" This is the issue that sold me on Midnight! The framing sequence from his POV really connected me to the character, sealing the deal when he caught sight of Manuel at the very end  . Perfect and humanizing. I enjoyed this issue as much as I enjoyed the ones before it, but I can honestly say I have some regrets: the scene with Doctor Occult was cinematic, funny (Doc allowing Faradady to go first!) and downright scary (that La Llorono dame was a pill!)--- so I wanted more Doctor Occult! Also, while I thought the resolution was well-thought-out and executed nicely, I was really enjoying the story and the interaction of these particular characters and villains, so I felt this story should have gone on for another issue. Paradoxically, I love the fact that these arcs are all tight little two-parters, loaded with story and character, so make whatever sense of that comment you can  ! Nyola's end was clever and gruesome (and proved that Rima is a true badass)! Hoping to see Doc and Rima again soon! Nicely done, Mr. Walsh! As someone stated above, there is a certain high one experiences after reading a Danger Trail story, and that is a gift to the reader--- so thanks, as well! Now, onto "The Man in Stitches Affair!" Sounds creepy! |

BTW, was Nyola's invocation of the storm meant to be an homage to King Lear? Nothing about their stories are similar (as far as I can tell), but the scene is very evocative, and even the wording is familiar! If so, well done for sneaking in a Shakespeare reference!
