Always.
This was enjoyable, and concludes the first arc after all the strange pacing that probably comes from too many characters. I liked it. It gave me a nice jolt seeing (1) Zatanna and Shade in the same space! and (2) Zatanna totally kissing Shade to get his head back into the game. I never in a million years would have ever expected to see those two characters—two of my hands down favourites—in the same book, let alone having a saucy moment. It’s like a very specific form of fan service just for me.
I still don’t get why the fuck I’m supposed to care about Mindwarp, though.
Apparently there will be eight Challengers of the Unknown (traditionally there are four, roughly equivalent to their Fantastic Four successors, plus June Robbins) and Ace won’t be one of them?
So, I have some of my Seven Soldiers books out right now because the overall structure of the work is interesting and very helpful for several of my books, and Ubermichael’s friend S made an unkind remark about Zatanna and I nearly asked him to leave.
