I played the preview edition at a con, and the thought balloon was my favorite part of play. I like the cheesiness, the over-the-top melodrama, that comes with a tradtional comic book thought balloon, and I made extensive use out of it during the session. Loads of fun, and it added so much to the game. It allows you to explicitly state your character's internal conflicts.
