Chapter 2, Page 5

Why so serious? Look, we love the snarkfest between the principals just as much as the next guy—but you can't show a tragedy while cracking too many jokes.

Notice that there are all sorts of way to interact with each other—verbally but also by gesture and posture. One reason I love Remus' art is that last panel, where everybody's posture says something about them. (Remus' only complaint is that we always give him the serious stuff to draw….)

The “Sisters” are MM's enemies, the Sisters of the Twilight…except the Sisters only existed simultaneously in a few realities. Smiley's wife existed in ALL of them…

Had Ringo not acted, the multiverse would have collapsed into itself—a fate which would have made one nightmarish “reality” where literally ANYTHING might happen.

Or worse yet, become as confusing as the DC Universe, post-Crisis. (Shudder!)

UPDATE Tuesday evening! Hey, remember how the hero Therm from Special School showed up in the big crowd scene? Check out the latest Special School…http://specialschool.spiderforest.com/?comic_id=353 …to see Julian Harper, Therm's other identity, being “recruited”.
