JMS,

Only four issues into Rising Stars and I'm hooked.  It is a pity the
story can't be told all at once.  Then again, it's like waiting for the
new B5 or Crusade show every week.  I do have a few questions about
Rising Stars.

1) Are you going to do a letter column in the comic?  I'm not too
familiar with Image/Top Cow's policy.  It appears some comics have a
letter column and others just have advertisements.

2) I've been searching the posts and haven't seen you state how long the
series is going to run.  Having neither found it or missed it, is this
another 5 yr. arc? Or, will you be like David Sim and state it will run
X number of issues? (Cerebus was stated to be 300 issues when Sim
started it)

S
P
O
I
L
E
R

3) In issue 4, one of the characters stated Flagg was having his new
name run against focus groups.  Are you really running Flagg's new name
in front of focus groups?  Do the readers get to write in and help pick
the new name?

Thanks for creating a comic that shows comics are not just funny books
for little kids.  Also, thanks for setting a bar for other superpowered
comics can try to attain (though I can't see DC or Marvel reaching it
often).  It is nice to see what comics have the potential of becoming
instead of staying in the nire they are in now.

Nope and nope.
