Disclose Notes: Includes letters reviewing All-Star Squadron #14. Last page shared with DC Coming Comics ad.

The term "retroactive continuity" appears in these letter pages, apparently its first time in print, credited here to an unnamed fan at Adam Malin's Creation Convention in San Diego "a few months back." (Note originally from Per Orion Ussner Kidder.)
