First of all, webmaster Glenn Hauman should be adjusting the BLOG response entries so that you can read the responses in order from the top down rather than bottom up. That seems to be the preferred method.
Second, I’m amused by the fans who are trying to figure out the identity of the Snake Girl who shows up in the final pages of YJ #49. There’s been all sorts of guesses as to who she is and some fans can swear they’ve seen her before.
Why is she so unfamiliar? Simple.
Her first appearance is in YJ #49. She’s never been seen before.
I was told to put in a snake-girl character because apparently a young lady won some sort of create-a-character contest that DC was holding, and YJ is the book she’s supposed to show up in. It was news to me, but hey, I just work here. So I made her Serpenteen’s girlfriend since that seemed a natural way to go with it. We learn a bit more about her next issue when she swallows Wonder Girl. Really. I’m not kidding.

Actually, what surprised me the most was seeing what appears to be the Wonder Twins there!
Considering Snapper Carr’s current involvement with YJ, what happened to him between now and his last appearance in the Blasters Special you wrote after the Invasion mini-series?

The entirety of the “Hourman” series happened to him. You might want to check it out if you can find back issues. Good stuff.

Thanks for clearing up the “snake-girl” mystery, as well as for all the young heroes in YJ #49…
…but who is the blond with a pink spot and tiger outfit?

While you’re at it–and I hate to nitpick–I’d love to see a white background for the site. Blue-on-blue text can be hard on the eyes.
Congrats on being back up and running.
Considering the sheer number of obscure characters who showed up in that spread, I’m surprised Argent didn’t make it.
Or have I just given away a gag from next issue? 🙂
Regarding the new direction of the posts, may I first thank Mr. Hauman on the decision to put them in the top to bottom direction.
That said, may I offer two friendly suggestion that would make reading them much easier?
First, the author identification lines should be close to the body of the post. Right now, they’re equidistant to both the body of the post, and to the body of the NEXT post post below it. This makes it very difficult to see who wrote what at a glance. It takes a bit to orient oneself to remember that the author is id’d BELOW the post, not above it.
The second idea, related to the first, is to put the author line ABOVE the post. Although the author is usually identified at the end of a passage in LETTER WRITING, they are generally identified at the TOP of a post on MESSAGE BOARDS. People used to message boards are accustomed to reading them from top to bottom, and because of this, they can identify the author of each post as they come to the beginning of each one because the author is listed at the top of each one. Since Glenn, as aforementioned, has graciously decided to change the order of the post listing from top to bottom, this means that a reader reading the posts in that direction has to get to the end of it to see the author, when seeing it at the beginning is easier. This, combined with the fact that the author line is smack in the middle between the post above it and below it, makes it very confusing.
First thank you for taling us about The Snake Girl,
Second can you confim or denie the rumour with the Titans and

First, thank you for clearing up of the Snake Girl,
Second, who is Zand?(issue 51 DC website)
Third, is there truth about both YJ and the Titans being cancelled and starting up again?
YJ #49 was great! I love the continued develoments with Secret and the leader reveal was AWESOME! I’ve never looked forward to turning a page more and I’m looking forward to seeing the “leader” dynamic played out in the book.
