I hate to seem like a spoilsport or anything, but didn't anyone catch the typo in the last panel? Shouldn't it be hollow point? Or is there actually a 'hallow'-point bullet I've never heard of?

The killer has a cross motiff on his mask. He works for someone named "The Cross".

Hallowed...like in "hallowed be thy name"....it's word play.

For a split second when I was lettering it I thought it was a typo too. ;)

Haw! You almost had us believing that, Kel.

No seriously. I honestly thought it was intentional. Quirky wordplay would not exactly be out of line for a Revisionist story.

Back when I worked as an inserter at a small-town newspaper, the proofers hated me. I'd sometimes notice typos and such from the pages whizzing by. No idea why.

Yeah, got fifty million emails from Chad asking if it was too late to change. :laugh:
Since issue #29, I've totally stepped back on copy editing. I only focus on the Fist of Justice stuff. Lack of time forces me to. But, we're going to start asking writers to focus the back-ups on the FOJ universe so we'll have to start paying attention. :p

Hell, I've got nothing but time if you need someone to look for stuff like this...

Excellent catch! I certainly appreciate it. Personally, I have trouble proofing copy in the all-caps lettering fonts. Back in my journalism days, I remember something about headlines being the toughest copy to proof because of the all-caps thing.

I learned that first-hand when I did an article about a new Public Information Officer and left the "l" out of "Public"...in the headline. :har:

Hey, I'll hire you to read ALL my copy from here on out if you like. Thanks for the assist!

Just want to say I honestly thought it was wordplay, I wasn't trying to BS anyone. I mean c'mon...it actually DOES work as wordplay. The guy works for THE CROSS!
