Tai strikes me as a cool Barbara Gordon.
 Hanners as Kitty Pryde.
Marten seems like the closest superperson to him would be Spiderman.
If Dora gets better, Sue Storm, if she spirals into self doubt, Catwoman.
Steve seems Hal Jordan-esque.
Faye to me seems more like Tulip O'Hare but she isn't superpowered so what am I gonna doooooooo?

--- End quote ---
I was gonna chew you out for the Steve/Hal Jordan thing, then I remembered the secret agent gig that is either real (and therefore makes him a pretty damn good Lantern candidate) or a hallucination he believed so hard he actually willed Tortura into existence (which makes him a fucking awesome Lantern candidate, since he doesn't even need the ring).

Max Wilder:
So... the title of 1809 ("Lohn & Brot") must be something terribly obvious that I'm not getting, since nobody has mentioned it.

Can somebody tell me what it refers to?

xerada:
Well, the only explanation I can think of is that it's German.
Lohn und Brot is an idiom for employment, or paid work. (Literally those two words mean salary and bread).

It's mostly used in the context of taking someone’s work away (for the googlers: jmd. um Lohn und Brot bringen).
It is also kind of an old expression, it would be weird to hear it out of the mouth of an average 25-year-old.


Edit: added content

jwhouk:
And it's also supposedly a song title (as Jeph has been on a song title for strips kick as of late).

EDIT: Efdemin, "Lohn & Brat". Techno? Really? REALLY?

iduguphergrave:
Don't you ever watch when Jeph broadcasts his drawing? Most of the music he listens to nowadays is techno/electronica, along with a healthy amount of death metal and some indie rock.

I personally think it's pretty awesome...
