>best of the bunch...

Is this the way you've structured most of the story: each chapter having 
more punch and being better than the preceeding one?  Thus each one will 
be the best of the bunch when published?  Or are there to be peaks and 
troughs? (I realize any particula issue might span the range, generally 
from low to high...)

There are always peaks and valleys; the first bunch of Rising Star issues were
really establishing the rules and who some of the characters are; the fact that
the murders are going on, the possible motive, and introducing a bunch of
suspects.

Now all that pipe has been laid, and I can start to really move the arc of the
story forward, do more in present-tense than in flashback.  That's kind of
where the fun really kicks in.
