About Charity: if she indeed came out of <em>Forbidden Tales</em>, I think I can claim partial credit. :-) About Konvikt speaking in issue #1: another word balloon misinterpreted by me.

About Charity: if she indeed came out of Forbidden Tales, I think I can claim partial credit. :-)

It was indeed me, with the help of Kryptonologists like John Wells.

Hall of Justice computer.

>> I had forgotten, but in a “brazier moment” in issue #1, Konvikt actually speaks.>>

No, he didn’t.

>> Also, it doesn’t exactly seem ethical for Graak to want to exploit Konvikt’s power and thereby make himself “High Lord Adjutant” of the Earth. An attorney shouldn’t have a personal stake in the outcome of his client’s case.>>

Graak not ethical! Graak stuck on stupid simioid mudball! Graak want free booze at very least! And dancing girls! And throne! And mountains of cash! And hot pastrami sandwich with pickle on side! And –

>> “Graak see nothing like this in simioid minds”: guess Graak is telepathic generally, not just with Konvikt.>>

As seen in #2, when he picked up the English language (imperfectly) via some level of telepathy.

In Trinity, the Big Three get removed from the fight and their places are taken by three villains (well, at least 2 villains, the jury is still out on Enigma's case) as the cornerstones of the DCverse's reality... Are Busiek and Morrison basically telling the same underlying story? Or will Trinity link up with FC in any way??

It's nice to see characters from that series in cameos, and even nicer that (so far) DC has shown Robinson's story the resepect of not using Jack Knight since his series ended.
