Pretty good, I liked the twist at the end. The Captain Boomerang and Trickster was good too.

Talia not Scandal eh? Clever, clever indeed!
It was all good, but the best part was Val's cure. Very clever...but also very dangerous.
When I first glanced over this in the morning, I was sure you killed Noah. Glad to see I was wrong. But he should never have let his guard down around Nocturna! *shakes head* Bad mistake, Noah.
But I only wonder what Val is going to do with you.....
Did I mention I like Cavalier? I may have to use him eventually.

My jaw didn't drop once or twice, it dropped several times during this conclusion.
I almost got upset at who I thought you had killed (since you went to such great lengths to make his so formable to begin with), but was relieved to see that he was still breathing.
This was a worthy conclusion to a great annual. It had everything that should be in a special. Thrills, chills, twists, turns, and big explosions.
Once again, John has proven that he knows these characters inside and out and what he has done with them on this site is nothing short of awe inspiring. I tip my hat to you, Sir! Five stars!

Okay, I decided to give you feedback for the first 9 issues and the two annual issues in this one post, so don't get confused  fist thing: I love the characters you chose. I know most of them were in the original SSquad comic book, but I never read that. You made it so easy to follow them and to make them likable. June and Mitch for example. Their relationship is really cool. Loved the issue you wrote about June finding her sisters, living with them... becoming a strong person. Great character development. This issue was worth 6 stars if that were possible. I have read the Resurrection Man bomic and I really like the character, so I was a little disappointed, that you didn't use some of his background. When the Forgotten Heroes had their short appearance, I thought that might be something you could have worked him in. But he was dead at this point... too bad. Speaking of the FHs... nice story you have there with Rick Flagg being immortal now. I'm interested in seeing if he'll come back to the team or if the Forgotten Heroes reform with him... and what Scandal and Vandal Savage have to do with all of this. Great work so far. Speaking of Scandal... that was a really nice twist at the end of Annual1.5 that it wasn't Scandal but Thalia. How does she belong in all of this? Great mystery. Calcualtor is such a poor guy. He's an ass, but I was really sorry for him when Nocturna turned her back and shot him. Can't wait to see if you use him in further issues. What I find very interesting, is that Amanda was replaced by Valentina... do you read DC's Checkmate?  And you were before that. Damn, you are good. I love this book. Great work John. |

First off I want to thank you for reading and taking the time to leave some feedback. It means a lot to me. The fact that you love the characters means a lot. My feelings for this title and the characters has always been apparent. I am glad that you found them enjoyable. Of course the Mitch and June relationship kind of developed on its own and was a pleasant surprise even to me. Junes origin and her return in issue #8 was another story that just kind of developed on its own. She is one of my favorite characters and I wanted her story to mean something. Of course if you liked that you have to check out what Jays been doing with her since. Issue #19 is a sequel to #8 (sort of) as he reveals the origins of Enchantress. Some interesting things are going on with June and Enchantress. I really like Resurrection Man too but after I wrote his opening scene in #1 I realized he would never have a big role in the book other then blowing up and giving June the mysterious warning. Maybe Jay can finally do something with him at some point? One of my biggest frustrations with not being able to keep up with writing on a regular basis was following up with Rick Flaggs story. His story has been planned out for well over a year and should finally see the light of day soon. He's kind of an angry guy and won't stop until he discovers who was responsible for his 'death'. Of course he's also pissed off because of what happened to his father so he's hunting a few people in the DC2 universe right now. As for Scandal, after her appearance in the JLA vs America, her story continued in Checkmate. Not sure I can mention what's up with Thalia Al Ghul because of plans with the Bat books. But....I can say that her showing up in the SS wasn't just a throw away appearance and it will carry over elsewhere outside of the Bat books. I had a lot of fun writing Calc here! His story was kind of over when she shot him I think? Wait this is comics....look for his return...elsewhere. And if you liked Nocturna you should really catch up on Nightwing where her and her brother have been causing some trouble over there for quiet awhile. Imari (Batkid) has been doing cool stuff over there and I look forward to catching up with that title soon. I had a good laugh at that when I heard about it as well considering I did that a long time before DC did. That happens a lot around here for some strange reason.  Thanks again. You are too kind! But if you've enjoyed things up until this point, you have to read the final story arc. Jay stepped in to help me wrap up my run and I am really proud that he took over with #13. Of course I also encourage you to check out...Checkmate because it will carry over a lot of the stories from the Squad as I hinted at above. A few lingering questions will finally be answered like: Who are the Ten? Who has been killing them? If you want another clue check out Rogues Gallery #2 featuring Deadshot and Deathstroke. That story plays a huge part in the upcoming Checkmate story arc! |

And you were before that. Damn, you are good.
