I'm putting together a crossover project, in the vein of the Crossover Wars.  If interested in participating, e-mail me at karamesser@hotmail.com or PQ me here.
 
Top page: Now to Sparkle, who I had to restrain a little differently.  I have a Hulk comic (actually, a Marvel Adventures comic, but focused on the Hulk) where the Leader imprisons Hulk in such a field.  Of course, Hulk breaks free, but I wanted to show here that Sparkle can't break free.She may be Hulk-like, but she's not Hulk-level.  And the mysterious character brings up Sparkle's sparkles, which I do have a legitimate reason for and I'll bring it up eventually in-comic.  It isn't just to make her look pretty.
 
Bottom page: So Celine Quickenice and Max Catnap have come to help their boss.  Why isn't Max looking at the reader/Tempore?  Well, as his thought balloon suggests, he's medium aware and is reading the title of the comic, gathering a little bit of information where he can.  And speaking of thought balloons, I think this one looks far better than that lumpy monstrosity I used at the end of issue 3.  Maybe I'll do them like that more often.
Also, Catnap brings up an interesting point: Sisyphus is misspelled.  I have a reason (not very good, but I have one), but I would want readers to guess this, at least for a little while.  It should become apparent why if you've read all my issue titles so far (or to come).  I know at some point I'll have an issue title that gives it all away.
 
Tomorrow: Sparkle is further briefed and Tempore faces three powerful adversaries
