Right neighborhood for my idea, but much, much lower quality.

I looked up the suggestion I made in jest and whoa, absolutely not.

go ahead and read every Secret Wars II tie-in

I did this a while back and I actually liked it, for the most part, and I would love to read your reading of it.

This is probably something for old heads, but the other day I was reading some 90s indie comic and I thought "is this Janice Chiang lettering under another name?" and it wasn't, but that question did lead me to this interview with her, which is good: https://cartoonflophouse.blogspot.com/2012/04/janice-chiang-woman-of-letters.html

spoiler: it turns out a lot of people copied her style, which before reading this I didn't know was a thing but makes total sense.

She was always one of my favorite letterers growing up (I seem to remember Mark Gruenwald having said he liked her because of how many words she could pack into a balloon) and this interview only made me like her all the more. Letterers are often unsung talents, but they truly make or break a reading experience for me.
