I suspect this might be related to the last big crater we saw being investigated by SAS. Which does not bode well for meltdown, or anyone in that area for that matter.
Black Rose--After this issue, I'll be featuring guest art from Elysium Bliss (the creator of She-Cat and Blue Banshee). This will give me a break from Fusion for a few weeks while I work on getting Dude in Distress finalized for launch. (Plus, my computer died two weeks ago, which stopped production on everything for about a week. I'm just about running at full speed again.) Then Issue #13 should start August 9.
