He's in the public domain.

(I went and read some issues ofMystery Men to see what other gems there were. Add time travel to Zanzibar's powers. Also casual racism.)

E. Some quality text stories by a young chap called William E. Eisner. I wonder what became of him.

Maybe Quicksilver wouldn’t be an rear end in a top hat if circuses hadn’t spiraled out of business.

Trick arrows and you need a world class archer to let you know if it's a thing you can actually fire from a bow.

I dunno if the X-Factor therapy issue was what really laid out the reasoning for Quicksilver's attitude, but I hope it is, because it's just perfect

I've certainly never read anything with Quicksilver that would contradict the X-Factor therapy issue.

Here's the whole sequence. After a professional told me I'm autistic while we were getting my son diagnosed, the next time I read this I became convinced that Peter David either is autistic himself or has a very close friend or family member who is. He absolutely nails what it can feel like.

Nanny and her ward Orphan-Maker (the guy in armor), plus Melter (not the Torch), Toad, and Nekra (the albino lady). A bunch of nobodies who got stuck in hell prison with Sabretooth for nearly a year of X-Men events. This is the story of them trying to take down the paradise above them to escape. It's a fantastic mini-series by Victor LaValle and Leonard Kirk.
