   The first time I read this comic, it was like a gut punch. It feels the same way, coming back to it a year later. That’s how you can tell good storytelling.

     Whatever you say about Willis, you can’t deny the fact that he’s a good storyteller. Even with all of the convoluted plot twists.

       The plot twists add to the re-readability of his works. It makes you want to go back and see if you can spot where it all started, and you usually can, convoluted or not.

   Everyone loves Amber. She’s like Lucy Westenra from Dracula.

   …Nobody else gets that reference, do they?
   Anybody else READ Dracula?

     Hmmmm, might as well stop reading after Lucy gets hers. The book might’ve well ended there.

     Some stories stop with love triangles, others lead to something that more closely resembles a great big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey…stuff.

     …

     Got away from me, yeah.

   “Soon, there will be love triangles! Then Love PENTAGONS!” Or something like that. I’m still on my first read through, discovered this a few days ago.

   Awesome story dude. You could probably release this as a graphic novel if you really wanted to (and haven’t already.)

   On Robin’s desicion not to tell Leslie of her former crush in Amber I can only say… wise desicion… no really, wouldn’t be a good idea to have Leslie more insecure in her position than she felt already, even if Robin wouldn’t have cheated her or even tried to cheat her with amber.

    To be fair, Wonder Woman did have that whole S&M/B&D vibe going for her.

    This makes me just as happy going through the archive the second time as it did the first.

    My first interpretation of Robin’s early interactions with amber were that she had a crush.

    I was always aware of how much Amber’s appearance has changed over the years, but this flashback is the first time I’ve noticed Robin’s hair is different.

    Kudos, Willis, for including that little detail in your flashback.

    Oh… damn you Willis! Especially sad that Amber is pretty much infuriated/frustrated/annoyed every time they interact.
