First, let me start by saying that I love this show. I am genuinely saddened that there are only 9 episodes left. Ryan Daily should be really proud of completing this series.
I listen to every episode. You know a show is good when you find yourself laughing, agreeing with, and arguing with a recorded podcast. This show is like hanging out with friends.
I have to say, though, that I totally disagree with Ryan's review of this issue. As a huge Hawk and Dove fan, I loved this issue. I was reading their monthly regularly when this came out, which made me buy the issue, and it added a really important layer to the monthly book. I don't disagree with you that it might be too tightly connected to the monthly series to really work for S.O., but, if one of the points of the book was to get people into other books or to get people who read other books to read specific issues, then it works. It was a lot like the Animal Man origin for me. Both worked as major additions to the monthly series.
Again, great show. I hope that (after you get some rest) you have something else big on the horizon to fill the hole that will be left by the ending of this series.
