With potential plot twists like these, it's no wonder that Eric Burns is the national poet of Scotland. Or was that Monty Burns?

Because, obviously, if you're standing there and a sidekick is standing next to you, that makes you the Big Damn Hero.

I've only dropped by Banter Latte today but its RSS is already on my bookmark bar. I'm still wondering whether to ask for a password because I don't know if I can afford the time to go through the chapters that are already up here. As for Interviewing Leather, is the hero that looks like a sidekick going to get a sidekick? My thoughts echo those of Peter Venables.

In a lot of ways this is complementary to the kind of storytelling I am doing with my own major project so seeing the kind of detail you put into this world really astounds and humbles me.

Also? do you have super powered therapists? A group of people who help supers deal with things like PTSD.

Unfortunately, the medical profession — and that includes mental health — isn’t all it could be in the Justice Wing world.
