A support group for time-travelers. I love it!

I'm not usually a fan of "future-slang" (it's one
of the things I never liked about the "Dark Knight"
mini-series. But you've pulled it off well here --
it seems natural to the characters, and it's easy
enough for the reader to figure out what's going on,
even without the handy glossary.

I'd been wondering what "Old Ugly" was. Neat idea!

Arthur came up with Tamela; I turned her into
Mother Time. So I suppose we're both her parents...

I like this list. What would you think about
putting an "ASH"-style chart of names,
code-names and powers at the beginning of
each issue? It's always helped me keep those
characters straight (though you, like Dave,
do a good job of differentiating between
them).
