JL #28 FORWARD

This issue I did something I hadn't done before and never did again: I presented solo adventures of six members in lieu of one adventure featuring six members. When I first started this series back in 1991 I wanted to balance out the main JLA comic with individual's stories. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to do this. So although I did do one Wonder Woman solo story (which I might upload here after this series is finished) I didn't get to the Green Lantern, Aquaman, or Batman stories I had tentatively planned. Of course, this whole thing started with individual Batman stories, so in that sense I went full circle.

New Pronunciation Key

In JL #27 I introduced a new system of pronunciation keys for the English words. If you don't know how Japanese works it's kind of difficult to explain, but over each Japanese word (such as Justice League in the title shown directly below) I write smaller Japanese characters as pronunciation. However, because the Japanese sounds are fewer and more stringent than English, words like "cup" and "cap" end up being given the same pronunciations in Japanese. I added a "dot" or a "triangle" to try to help differentiate the sounds. Obviously, it didn't work. :-)
