Remember H.E.R.O.? This guy does


Over at his pop culture site "It's Bloggerin' Time," Colin Bell looks back at H.E.R.O, the 22-issue series I wrote back in the mid 2000s with art by such illustrious talents as Kano, Pat Gleason, Leonard Kirk and Dale Eaglesham.
Colin talks about how the disparate storylines all tied together in the slam-bang finale, and mentions how the series' actual final issue wasn't No. 22, but instead, it was No. 11...
"Not only did Pfeifer stick the landing though, he also snuck an epilogue to the series in as issue eleven without it being apparent until you'd read the final issue. It's an audacious trick that I've never seen repeated since, and I'd love to know if it was as a result of the cancellation being announced, or if it was just stuck in there as an entertaining story that the writer managed to wring more significance out of in hindsight towards the end of the book."
To answer your question, Colin, it was originally written as an single issue story in the middle of the run, but when the end was near and I wanted to do something dramatic with the title, I figured that was the perfect solution.
Glad you enjoyed it -- and thanks for the write-up!
