Hi Chip!! I have been really enjoying Avengers Twilight so far! I just finished issue 2 yesterday and I had a behind the scenes question for the book. In issue 1 it's mentioned that Luke is a former Mayor, did the decision to do that come before or after making him Mayor in Devil's Reign? I remember you saying that this story, at least the writing, has been finished for a bit, so I was wondering if this influenced Devil's Reign or vice versa? That's all, I've been loving catching up on the newsletters. Have a good one!

Ha! Yeah, in my outline for AVENGERS I don't mention the mayor angle, but by the time I was doing a proper lettering script I knew what we had coming up in DEVIL'S REIGN.

Time is shorter than you think and has worse breath than you can stand. And hands like carny folk. It'll sneak up behind you, Chip, so watch out.

I have not been told yet! I assume so?? If it happens I'll let you know and also suggest they make a "large type" version for your aged self!!

There's gonna be so much Batman this month and I can't wait. I finally got my partner to start reading Life Story. Joe Kerr being canon would be downright hilarious but I'm glad you're not doing an origin in YEAR ONE, but you've been doing a great job ADDING to continuity with things like Zur, and the clever Three Jokers thing, rather than ALTERING it heavily. I can't wait to see that take on the Joker's early days.

Twenderly, I ignored the hunk at NYCC twice! Twice! Nothing against Jorge of course. Of course!

Avengers Twilight #2 was excellent. This mini series a great surprise as I knew I’d like it; but I truly enjoy it. I think about it a lot.

I notice a lot of your comics are wrapping up: May there be new comics en route to replace them.

Ah, nice you’ll be at C2E2 (Any relation to R2D2?)

Twenderly wishing you a nice weekend, Chip.

Love to see the midnighter again - my dad picked up the first trade at an event a little bit ago where chip spoke

...and then I read the entire thing on the car ride out and now I think I love it more than him :p

(Also, holy shit, high praise for a:t!! I've been loving it myself)
