Don't miss our next issue:

Justice League #31

"Going Home"

JL# 30 FORWARD

As much as I hate to say it, next issue is the LAST issue. By Christmas 2000 my wife and I had decided that I would probably not last another year. I was waiting for various things to happen at the end of the then-current fiscal year, but the prospects were not good. I looked very seriously at the possibility of having to end this series, and one thing I knew had to happen: I *had* to write a sequel to my previous Time Lord story (in numbers six and seven).

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. :-)
