Well, I had a little sneak peek at this issue but was looking forward to the whole story.
I think this is a fairly solid start to what looks like it'll be a cool cross-over. I really like the use of Terra and Resurrection Man here... plus the mystery of Gregor's 'weapon', it's creator and their ties to Brother Eye... all compelling!
So, now the Squad and the Titans are face to face... what will become of the two groups.
Looking forward to finding out!

A great beginning to a new story, I particularly liked how the tension between the family members was handled. Looking forward to finding out what happens

Although I've been privy to a lot of this storyline, the beginning of this has really knocked my socks off. The reunion between Terra and Brion was some of the best wirtten stuff I've seen in a while. Simple, and extremely poignent.
It was great to see the TT's in this issue as well, and bringing Speedy back was great, too!
Excellent 5 star beginning to this epic.

As a huge fan of Terra (both Terras, actually) and Geo-Force, this story is a blast for me. Wonderful pacing, a nice start to intrigue and mystery, impending disaster for any number of groups and individuals, and great characterization for the royal family of Markovia. A solid win all around with this story, and this should make for a great adventure tale. The level of creepy around Gregor and Jace just top off the whole first part excellently well.
Take care Don

The opening scene with the King being murdered was a shot of excitement in this issue the captured my attention, besides the intriguing cover.
Interesting to read about the family agruments between Brion, Tara and Gregor. I loved when Terra shot back at Gregor with, “You wanna insult me, you’re gonna have to do better than stating the dry facts.”
Another good moment was when Terra finally removes her mask and herconversation with Brion.
Overall a good issue, five star issue.

Anyway I continuity errors bug me lol I'd assume Jay's gone with established DC continuity, as the trival and unnecessary changing of Silas' skin tone is something that another writer might miss.

Zenobia was an original character, and that was a miscommunication on my part. It's been rectified now by Don & Sam and the amazing covers by Steve. Silas Stone was always black in DC continuity, and I don't see why anyone would make him white in the first place. Obviously, that's just my opinion.

Mainly cos I've never really read anything to do with Silas when I wrote it and I wanted to add another layer of seperation and distinction between him and his son. It was more of a symbolic choice than a story telling thing. A device in a sense. Its not important I just picked up on it was all.

Well, I'm not quite sure how Zenobia came into this, but seeing as she's clearly inspired by Nubia from the actual comics (if not, she's a remarkable coincidence then LOL), and seeing as nothing in any of the stories has changed her skin color at any point, and the WW covers with her during Charlie's run were a mistaken miss, and the Birds of Prey covers following that have her consistent, I'd think maybe you wouldn't want to include her in this kind of argument, on another title way over here. It's not like you've ever commented on her appearance in the Wonder Woman stories, or commented at all on Birds of Prey, so really, it strikes me as very odd to have this pulled in out of nowhere. I guess I just get easily narked by things like this.
Take care Don

its something I saw brought up by someone else and didnt notice it before. Its only cos I glanced back and some old issues that I noticed. I only read a few WW stories starring her. I was tryin to make some kind of comparison not form an actual argument. Also havent read any BoP thats why I didnt reply there.
Also have no idea who Nubia is so....wikipedia
