There's nothing special about me.
Speaking of Night Thrasher, that Contest of Champions miniseries was better than it had any right to be. And set up a bunch of potential stuff (Outlaw's new thing, a new super-hero team, entirely new French Female Superhero, loving Ares literally getting yanked out of his happy afterlife to come back to Earth) that I'm sad isn't ever going to get referenced, except maybe some small thing years from now.

So, Humble Bundle has an absolutely loving massive Image bundle on sale now.

A friend of mine was asking about starting to buy some comic books, possibly regularly, quite recently. I feel like pointing them at this and saying 'Wicked+Divine, Saga, and East of West are all ones I know are great and are worth 20$ on their own' is a good place to start and find their particular tastes.

Quentin Quire was created by Grant Morrison, though in that run he was completely unlike how he is now.

Honestly speaking, Quentin Quire in Wolverine and the X-Men is probably the best example of someone taking something from Morrison's run and actually improving upon it, because when that run starts he's fairly consistent with Morrison's Quire- hell, he starts off being forced into the school because the alternative was handing him over to SHIELD for a terrorist act- he went to some government building, mindcontrolled everyone there, and started up a bunch of trouble before the X-Men came and stopped him. And then he actually gradually proceeded to grow as a character.

Then the whole stuff with the future versions of all the x-kids happened and I lost track of what the hell was going on.

Fake edit: Not the Battle of the Atom stuff, I don't think. There are multiple 'future versions of characters come back to their past/the present' storylines with x-men. It's like a rite of passage there.
