Hey, thanks for the response! I think the idea that Galahad was Grant came from someone else’s read on it, but it’s nice to have rumors of bad blood between writers I respect dispelled. I’ll have to dig out those trades.

I have plans for a massive re-reading of “Irredeemable” and “Incorruptible” for this series, but I have no sense of when I’ll get there (this is sort of a hobby for when I get stalled on real actual fiction writing), but I’d love to hear your thoughts when I do.

Again, thanks for the response, and your work in general. I came up in the legacy era of DC, so your Wally remains my “real Flash.”

And there’s a bit you wrote in the epilogue to (I think) “Terminal Velocity” about “pretending” to tell one kind of story while telling another (I seem to recall it was that “TV” convinced the audience it was a western when it was really a love story) that’s been a serious touchstone when thinking about structuring a book. So, again, thanks.
