Awesome! Big kudos for the "mystery character" hanging in the background of the cover. I'll have to check it out. Congrats!
Edit (about half an hour later): Just read it. Good stuff. It reminded me a lot of the All-Star Squadron comics from my childhood. I like how you expanded upon and colored the personalities of each member. It makes them all a bit more interesting than they were in the 40's. Nice swerve at the end. I didn't see that coming. Finally, I especially enjoyed the editors note that led me to "The Ambassador of Death" story in The Flame #8. I appreciate that attention to continuity and detail. All in all, a good read.
