Description

OK, so while Jon Bon Jovi might say "Never Say Goodbye", I did end up saying goodbye, and then saying hello, and raised money for charity.

Did a Cash/Trade for my JLA #192 cover where I was able to get money and raised money for Saved Whiskers Rescue Organization Inc. and receive 11 covers/pages/2 page spreads combined.

Special thanks to Will Gabri-El for setting up.

Trivia
The character of Oort the Living Comet, an enemy of Quicksilver's from the future, is an original creation for this issue, as Quicksilver had no real rogues' gallery for the creative team to draw upon. So far, this has been Oort's only appearance.

Great cover. I love Paul's run on WCA. Having him follow on Byrne's was a great editorial choice as they share a lot of similarities in their art and storytelling (even if Byrne's has more "breath").

Agreed on loving the run, and interesting point on Byrne having more "breath" to it.

Paul Ryan was a superb and terribly under-appreciated talent. Bravo!

I love these head-to-head team covers, ever since I'm a toddler watching Challenge of the Super Friends. Great piece!
