Sourcery/Sinestro/Master of Fear/ 2 of 3

They all look in a bit of a panic on the cover.

This was a rather quiet week that went almost exclusively Team Marvels way as Soila recruited Spiderman and Rinn added Daredevil to her roster.
Team Marvel also acquired the only Energy Cell of the week.

Hmm... that sounds like it SHOULD work..."


I think so too. :)

Yes, it's fine. The red stands out a bit, but it's about the same amount as the white and the majority of the cover is pitch black.

The Fearless/Sinestro/Sinestro Corps/1 of 3

Sol and Cass, two of the POV characters, join two different military units throughout the book, although I guess the latter is more 'official'.

Team Marvel added 2 Energy Cells to their portal, while Team DC made no progress this week.

Mpauli,

would worshiping a forbidden religion count as a being a criminal? It is against the law to worship anything but the "correct" religion in the story.

Yes, internal logic is fine. If the character is a criminal in their world, it works.

Sinestro 3. Master of Fear
Read a book with a person showing an expression of fear/horror/panic on the cover or where a being is able to actively induce fear/terror in its enemies. At the Mountains of Madness
1/3 for Sinestro


If Lovecraft's Cthulu doesn't count as generating fear, I don't know what would.

Sinestro 1. Read a book with a ring on the cover or the word "ring(s)" in the title or where a ring is a significant object. The Spirit Ring

This has both requirements. 2/3 for Sinestro

This was a slower week with Roger's recruitment of Huntress making the difference and securing the win for Team DC.
But both teams were actively working on their second portal hero with Team Marvel acquiring 3 cells to Team DC's 2.
