Sentinels of Justice: “Ranger Danger”

I’m interested in feedback on how I handled Detective Work, the Special Effects of Silver Specter’s powers, and anything else…

Ierendi
For our second arc of Champions Now, we’ve added a new writer-artist, Sam, and moved the action to the island city-state of Ierendi.

May 2023 Q&A
