I'm putting together a crossover project to run through next year through many comics and hopefully benefit the Hero Initiative.  If you're interested in participating, please e-mail me at karamesser@hotmail.com or PQ me on this site.
 
Top page: Yes, like Fractal, his clothes change the way they look.  But he's not Fractal.  This might be evident, in part, because he stays the same race all the time.  He has a different aspect to his clothing and why it changes designs.
The news continues its obsession with the Swimmer and the town is finally named.  Red Hills is my own creation, so the Swimmer can operate in her own city.  Eiderdown operates out of Redding, Sparkle and Astral from Arcata and now the Swimmer in the fictitious Red Hills.  They may be in different dimensions, but that's no reason to put them all in the same city, especially as I get annoyed that Marvel seems to think all of its heroes need to be from New York (well, okay, they've branched out, but New York is still home to the Avengers, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and others).  Diversity in location is important, I think.
 
Bottom page: This is the first time I've drawn Time and Laser and Jack Shade together, and one can finally have definitive proof they're different characters (though my bad art isn't helping that statement).  But this page and the next will help lead into November's issue.
Also, remember when Tempore was mentioning his fellow order guardians and said that Sticks is playful?  He certainly doesn't seem p;ayful on this page, does he.  This says more towards what he thinks of Tempore than a contradiction of that statement.
