abuseGabriel Hunter = Remington?

Camilla's a flower, so... I don't know.

This is a very interesting story - I like the layout a lot. Looking forward to more.

abuseEwan is gone-- I hope he finds his peace.

This is the most creative concept you have done and the formats are amazing. I would be current in my reviews if my alerts worked at all.

abuseThis was great. I love how touching it was, and how you made Az seem so very real and true to how she would have been at the end.

I can also see her writing journal entries to Rosette and Chorno. It just fits.

abuseAnother wonderful chapter. ^-^ I love how you show Asmaria's reactions to stimuli in her enviroment, as well as her fear to go see Joshua. I think the reason I like this story is because a lot of times with stories, we don't think on the effect that the events would have on the characters. That's one of the best things about this story. ^-^

abuseI like how he dreams of Rosette and Chrono even though he doesn't remember him, but I also liked the way you put in his flash backs about shooting Chrono set off by the tire blowing out. That was very believable. I also like how you use the journal enteries to tell about his life. Notably how you vary the length of the enteries. ^-^ I really like this!

abuseI'm absolutely loving this- the referrences to other comics, as well as to the way the Joshua's life was translated into an idea for a story- especially how, as is true, things are changed and modified to make a story its own thing, not just a telling of his own story, but the story of the characters- I really liked that and the feminist touch in there was excellent too! ^-^

abuseYou made me laugh with this. Joshua deserves a large, crazy, loving family after all things.

But those Jewish mothers could give Aion a run for his money in the matters of manipulation.

abuseI really enjoy this. Joshua after the anime isn't a subject that most people write about, and I think that you're doing a fantastic job with it.

The way that you're going about it is interesting too. I can't say that I've ever read a story where most of the "meat" (unfortunately I can't think of a better term at this time) was in the form of a letters or similar forms of writing.

Keep up the good work!

abuseNice. I like the thought of a better ending for Joshua than him being stuck mentally as a kid. Becoming a comic book creator and using his subconcious memories to tell stories is a great idea. This was very well wriiten and quite enjoyable.

I hope to see more.

abuseThe second two chapters were good too. As with the first chapter, I liked how the second possessed the idea that what happened in CC inspired stories which would be enjoyed by others, and in this case written a report about. It's just a nice feeling that even though people are long gone, they are not forgotten.

The third was also well done, in the sense that I actually found it quite decent in conveying how Joshua slowly gets better - possibly with the help of a certain girl possessing a familiar sounding name.

It also does show how he's disgruntled with not knowing the full story, but I thought I could also sense Ewan's reluctance to come to terms with everything, and the fact that he has a hard time dealing with it seems to be the real reason why Joshua is kept in the dark - not because he needs to be shielded. Perhaps it's not really Joshua who needs counseling, but then again, I don't know where you'd find a celestial psychiatrist to help out.

Shnoosh.

abuseI thought that was pretty cool. I like the idea that the events of the twenties inspires Joshua to write comics, and in a way allows the stories to live on so that others may get to know them too. There's a very nostalgic feeling to it. Also I can't help picturing Joshua inquiring from Azmaria what happened during the time, so he'd get all the facts right for his next issue. You do pair him up with somebody besides her, and that's not really my preference since I consider it to be somewhat non-canon (at least in the light of the manga ending), but it's no real biggie.

Also I have to say that I actually tried to follow the whole Marvel-verse back in the early-mid nineties, but I simply gave up again because the storylines just became incomprehensibly convoluted and ambiguous, having no guarantee of decent continuity between issues (also because of the fact that countless different American comics were boiled down into a select few comics here). So my respect definitely goes to those with the will to put in the effort necessary to keep their storylines clear, even though it does require 'Hours and hours of everyone shouting, "you're wrong!" at each other' :)

Shnoosh.

abuseI perfectly adore this.

Joshua deserves some chance at a true life-- the anime was too damn depressing on his fate.

On everyone's fate.

abuseI would love to see how the real inspiration takes to Joshua's artistic undertaking. This is such a novel idea.
