I'm putting together a crossover project, called Crossover Melee, to start next year and run through several different comics. It will also be put into print with profits going to help the Hero Initiative, a charity that helps comic creators in need. If you want to be involved, please e-mail me at karamesser@hotmail.com or PQ me on this site.

Top page: I needed to put this bit in here, and why they're not just going to the end of the maze. It would be impossible to expect Ammon Man to last that long. Plus, it does help bring a bit of character to Purple Power, especially since this is his first time speaking in the comic. And I also show some of the mind games this place plays on people with Sparkle's bit. Not all obstacles have to be physical (though the physicality of items on a mental plane is something of debate, anyways). Though I realize I drew Sparkle's wounds too far up her arm. Oops.

Bottom page: Everybody will break eventually, and Tempore is too used to power to have developed the thick skin needed to survive a torturous environment. This situation has been important for him, and will shape some of his actions later.
Also, the humanoid rat is Ernst from P.S.I. During the Crossover Wars, he was one of the characters who was freeing the prisoners as the final battle was being fought. I would have drawn Nemi, but I realized Ernst is the easiest of the PSI trio for me to make look distinct. I just hope I got his dialogue right.

Tomorrow: Readying, reaction and a continued search
