I'm putting together a crossover project for next year which will run through multiple comics and also try to benefit the Hero Initiative.  If you want to join in on the crossover fun, e-mail me at karamesser@hotmail.com or PQ me on this site.  You don't exactly have a deadline to sign up, but the sooner you do, the better you can guide your comic through the storyline and the more immediately you can get the cool crossovers set up.
 
Heroes Alliance is currently running chapter 7, which was written by myself.  It's over halfway done with its epic length and features a lot of great art.  Check it out here on Drunk Duck!
 
And check out Trans Dimensional Trans Superheroes, my new community project comic, also on Drunk Duck!
 
Onto the page at hand: And finally, the explanation for a lot of things.  It's been a long time coming, hasn't it?  Still, it was something I wanted to sit on.  Well, and iron out the details.  It's not like the concept was fully formed from the start.
Also, the other order guardians' logos here were drawn with everybody else's logos, before I made up my mind I'd use them.  Better safe than sorry.  The problem is a lack of iconography for much of them.  It's simple enough to use Time and Laser's symbol or Sticks's face, but the others don't have that level of noticability.  Jack Shade is a sillouhette because of the nature of his powers (merging with the shadows).  Mosieu is simply a blank face, because his look is most recognizable as a blank.  The others are in the eyes, and if Shal'tatal weren't surrounded by the others, he would be hard to tell.  Sure, I could have done it in color, but then the aesthetic of the issue (the fact that everything is in black and white) would be lost.  I hope it comes across on this page, because I did try hard to make sure each voice fit their character.  Mosieu was pretty difficult, though, due to him not having ever spoken before, and thus his voice had to be created newly for this, and I can't help but think that he sounds too much like Shal'tatal.
