So Sean was walking along Sunset Boulevard with Tony one sunny afternoon when he had to stop and set his purchases from Meltdown Comics upon a ledge to allow the full flow of the bolt of inspiration that had just overtaken him.

He told Tony about how he had been thinking ahead to the second issue of SuperParty. He had all of the characters in place, but he was missing the emotional core of the story. And that emotional core had just hit him like a pan in the face, springing out of a conversation he and Tony were having about Batman.

When Sean triumphantly looked up, the above picture was his view: the Hollywood sign perfectly framed between those two trees, with the Sunset Blvd. sign in front of it. Is that a perfect composition or what?

And hopefully a perfect omen.

When Sean had seen the Hollywood sign for the first time earlier that day, he did not take a picture of it. He was going to save the moment just for himself. But when he saw it for the second time, so perfectly framed, he knew he had to capture it.
