To say goodbye is to die a little. ― Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye We started this story on 10-10-10. Over two and a half years later, we bring it to a close. Oh, we may add some other pages. RedDeath wants to add a few pages of what the Captain is doing in the Badverse. Neil may add some pages with Energize and Dasien.
But this–is the end of the combined “team” story.
It's been an amazing run. We've had a lot of fun, and a lot of arguing among oursevles, and a lot of coordinating, to get this done. Some who contributed a lot, like Aisaku, are sadly no longer with us.
It's been a ball working with each others' characters, playing in each others' worlds, and making up new ones to travel into. It was a ball thinking up the Doppelganger Gang and Ruinworld and working on a long storyline–and seeing it come all together.
You are some of the smartest readers we could ask for, and your comments were read, appreciated, and sometimes incorporated into the story.
But all things end—sooner or later.
Opening the floor to comments and questions from you, and recollections by the other creators involved.
Nepath, Xmung, and Essaybee have all been great to work with (as have RedDeath, Dasien's Neil, Kittyhawk, Ben of Majestic Knight, and anyone I've forgotten.) and it's been very fun to get more familiar with their individual worlds.
It's been a lot of fun, and it was great working with all the guys. Thanks to Al for inviting Fusion along for the ride. (And it's a ride that will play into the continuity of Fusion's story.) Also, thanks again to Al for letting MindMistress be a part of the Fab Five's origin.
Totally agree with Nepath - a great collaborative project with a very professional group of people. A great honor to work with them all and fantastic to have been part of Crossoverkill - special thanks to Al for asking me to join in. I hope to do a side-story that follows Hoodoo between this page and her reappearance in Magellan. Although her part in the current chapter of Magellan is minimal at the moment she still has a big role to play, and if you've been following along you'll know she is now heavily pregnant with the fruits of her & Perfect's passion... the outcome of which will be revealed at some point in Magellan too.
Great to see this come to a planned conclusion. Thanks Al from me for letting my character be a part of the comic and allowing me to work alongside some great creators. Im sorry that my involvement was minimal. All the best.

MM doubtless disabled it before she left. She can build another. She was just afraid of what others could do with it.

What happened to MM's Osiristor? I mean it was MM's original reason to collect the team.
