Thanks for rating this issue, Riz! As a matter of fact, you're read and rated just about every issue of this title, I believe, and I would just like to say it's appreciated!

Gah, sorry not to comment sooner, Dave. Such a great read!
I hope people didn't miss out on this one since it came out amongst all the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving. So many awesome moments yet so many I can't really talk about. Finally seeing a scene from the... event... come to life even if just a snippet of action - so awesome.
And the big reveal with Power Girl...
And with Parallax...
So much fun going on in this story. Even if I didn't have the great honor of getting in behind the curtain on this some I would be eating this one up anyway. Great characterization goes a long way toward making this a really engaging read. Can't wait for the ending!!!

Sweet! I did not see that twist with Parallax coming, and it was a bloody awesome one! So much stuff is coming into focus now, and I'm so pleased. I thought that the earlier issues up until this one were comparatively weak-- concepts and characters weren't fleshed out, and it was such a shame for such a high concept story such as this one. But with the reveals of Black Shazam and Parallax, it comes into focus. Whilst I would have preferred to have some kind of characterising moment with Black Shazam earlier in the event, this still works, but I'm still a bit disappointed it took so long to reach this point.
There are niggly moments-- how is Hal able to focus his willpower through his ring... if he isn't Hal? Little things like that, but they're matched with moments like Power Girl's reveal (it's not what we originally had in mind when Ramon, Chris and I were writing her, but hey...), the next generation helping out... it works. I also laughed when the Alan Scott enmity made sense. Brilliant.
A solid issue, Dave! The conclusion should be brilliant.

So many characters, each so well defined and each given their own moment in the sun. I'll ring in with the Parallax twist as well; did NOT seeing that coming. But the Power Girl story... my favorite of the issue. It made a whole hell of a lot of sense, totally ties SO much together, and escapes the convoluted mess that DC had given her for so long. Really a brilliant stroke of back story there. Each story was tight, with edge of the seat excitement, and I'm really loving the way you're bringing them all together here at the end. This has really been a fun roller coaster ride of a story which I hate to see come to an end. One quick question: After the crisis is over, will the back burning story of Dr. Fate be soon on the horizon? Excellent cover as well... very reminiscent of something, just can't put my finger on it...  ;D |

I can honestly say that I did not see the Parallax twist coming, but I think it works here. There's definately a story to be told behind how this all came to be, but it's one i'm very looking forward to it.
I like where we're at right now. We're well into the third act and it's clear that the epic conclusion is within reach, and it's still a blast getting there. After so many issues absent, the All-Stars finally get to shine here and they are a blast to read. The uniting of the JLA and JSA is a cool read and i'm sure it can only get cooler.
Very much looking forward to the next issue. Keep up the good work.

Gah, sorry not to comment sooner, Dave. Such a great read! No problem, sir! Just glad you've stayed on board and are enjoying the ride  . It was fun writing a little glimpse of that singular event at the heart of the DC2niverse's upcoming origin tale, seen only from Power Girl's perspective... Lots more to that story (as you well know ;D)! Yep, this was definitely the issue of reveals. All the cards are on the table, now--- though maybe there are one or two surprises left for the finale next issue  . Thanks a whole lot, Brandon! Not just for reading and the feedback, but for being a big part of this story! Hope you enjoy the big finish next week! |

Sweet! I did not see that twist with Parallax coming, and it was a bloody awesome one! Glad to hear you say so, Charlie! You were the one I was most worried about, as you have a freakish sixth sense about these things...! I hope I can be forgiven for holding the Big Reveals until the end, but this storyline has one more issue, and hopefully it won't stop surprising you! Black Shazam's story is not done quite yet... By the end of this arc, you'll know everything you'll need to know about this arch villain! This problem doesn't need to be explained. Parallax is the U.H.--- he can figure it out! So this came as a surprise to you, too, then  ;D! Thanks a lot, Charlie! Hope the finale lives up to your expectations! |

So many characters, each so well defined and each given their own moment in the sun. Glad you think so, sir! Between the JSA, the E2 JLA and the Young All-Stars there are dozens of characters here--- and it's stressful to keep track of them all! This reveal was one of my favorite moments--- I'd hope folks would gradually realize this could not really be Hal Jordan, but finding out who it was should have come across as a WOW moment...! Thanks, Brian! This really seemed like the best, most appropriate origin for her. At this point Brandon and I have gone over this stuff so much, I can't recall which one of us came up with it, but I am proud to share the credit with him. The ride ends next issue, but buckle up because it will get very bumpy! The story of Dr. Fate (and, coincidentally, the Spectre) are part and parcel of the long-form JSA epic I have been building towards since issue #1--- that pot is simmering, and believe me, you will know when it boils over! That being said, look for Jim Corrigan to headline a near-future issue of JSA Classified! Alex has been superb this entire storyline. He has his work cut out for him for the last issue, though, and if he can pull out the specs I suggested for the cover, he gets a big raise! Thanks for reading, Brian, and for the feedback! |

There's definately a story to be told behind how this all came to be, but it's one i'm very looking forward to it. Glad you liked it, Scott! It pretty much happened the way Parallax described it, so I won't be re-covering that ground, but suffice it to say, the last word on that has not yet been written! Yep. Exactly right. It all comes down to next issue. I am very glad you are having fun, too . You oughta get a kick out of next issue, then, when they all come together for a knock down, drag out battle! Thanks very much for reading, Scott. I really appreciate your following this title and your feedback! |
