Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

@Techne If you seriously want some constructive criticism, there are a few things I noticed on the grammatical side of things. Though, really, my advice will always boil down to "proofread your writing out loud to yourself at least once, then again each time you edit a portion." Most little, simple errors that could take someone out of the narrative can be caught that way.

Think of it as you picking up where another writer left off on a Supergirl solo series. Everything before is still canon, but you're able to reimagine the character to fit your own style and vision.

Yeah, let's just shame the new guy out of applying.
_{I support this idea, but only because it's Hillan's friend.}

Yeah, I didn't include any that have been established in the IC even as NPCS, unless they were just dropped.
But, my post isn't entirely directed at you, anyway. There have been a lot of comments since I've joined, both here and in the Discord, saying most A-listers are used already despite that not being the case. It's just that the main three from each universe always get taken almost immediately.

<Snipped quote by Retired>

I don't know if I'd call Red Tornado a big name.

@Lord Wraith

I am biased on that one.
Also, people undervalue Red big time.

The point is, though, there are many still available. And those were purely based off of Avengers and Justice League members. There are even more outside of their rosters that can be picked up in this if people want big names.

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

There are more than a few big-name Avengers and Leaguers that are not yet spoken for.

EDIT: Here's ten examples:

Black Panther
Vision
Carol Danvers
Hawkeye
(As of a week ago) Wonder Woman
(As of a week ago) Green Arrow
Aquaman
Martian Manhunter
Red Tornado
Captain Marvel/Shazam, technically speaking

I also realize that with Maxx gone I will either need to utilize his X-Men team as NPCs or skip over part of my plans for next season. I did not consider this until now.

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

I wonder if I'm technically the defacto mutant expert now that Maxx is gone and I'm running Kitty, with her story being relatively connected to mutant history and current affairs. Hm.

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

Alright, boys and girls. What do you think the theme song for Season One should be?

@Nightrunner

No other choice...

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

It's okay, guys. I have the silver lining: two fewer reviews I have to do now.

Seriously, though, as much this sucks, and as awkward as it may be, I hope we as the player base can continue to move forward. This has thus far been one of, if not the, most successful of the Guild comic games. Many of us are on track to complete our arcs and progress into a new season that can bring just as much success.

For those of you concerned or doubtful, the game can survive. Our stories can thrive. It's up to us, as players, to make sure it does.
