I really appreciate these slaps on the wrist as I'm still working on the more technical aspects of writing. Hopefully I'm improving on some of the simple mistakes, like "its" and "your" and such. A couple things I know I need to work on is my tenses, as I continually mix them up. I also need to do more research before writing (something I'm finding gratifying in the upcoming arc) and a few drafts/reviews before posting (choice of words, flow of sentences, etc).

Keep pointing them out, I'll keep trying to do better :)

Just thought it was visually interesting and it I don't have to worry about him carrying them around... Fletcher Hanks's original Stardust uniform didn't have any pockets, after all. At some point, if they all get collected together, something will have to happen. Wouldn't really be comic-book fiction if it didn't.

There was a Stardust story Fletcher Hanks did where the super wizard saved an unnamed woman in a red dress and invited her to stay with him at his private star. It was clumsy and surreal, reading more like a man picking up a stray cat for a pet than the budding romantic subplot it was supposed to be (doubly odd that it was never mentioned again in any super wizard story, the incident or the woman). I don't know if I'll go anywhere with the red dress, but I wanted to have a small nod to it as it was probably the only time in Hanks's stories that the wizard displayed any personality other than the "fight-crime- punish-evil" trope.
