Most lettering alas seems to have to be done at the last minute, making the high quality most of the time even more remarkable. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-21549776463647077122014-12-27T03:13:02.344-05:002014-12-27T03:13:02.344-05:00Thanks.

Just one year earlier, New Gods #1 featured a cover blurb reading "An Epic For Our Times" -- very crudely lettered, as if it was done at the last minute. Apparently someone at DC was keen on trying make that phrase happen.<br /><br />Seconding Garett's comment, this has been another winning feature here, and I'm glad it isn't over yet.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-1925113886626015802014-12-25T13:28:10.818-05:002014-12-25T13:28:10.818-05:00Maybe this last issue was O'Neil's way of ...Maybe this last issue was O'Neil's way of separating himself from the "relevance" storytelling, by making Isaac so extreme that the heroes disagree with him.
